PLACE 10 BEGIN Ec08oMY

The President has just called to-
gslAcr some 500 "estimators," more OF
less, and including the members OF
Cao cabinet, ana with his own self in
the chair, to listen to Gn address by
Budget DireClUr Dawes. And The tel
esTaphed summary OK mis- address. eV-
en- as presumably eNpurgaIed, indi-
Gates t1at there WAS very breezy As
minutes. That the function was suf-
tIc-ently solemn appears from the fact
that ii closed with the pledge Of all
present taken standing and with
hands raised, that they would cut es-
Inmates to the bone, beginning with
appropriations already made.
And then came the dramatic NOM
enC when Director Dawes declared
that he should reduce his own appro-
Driation by 25 per cent.
Director Dawes smOte the nail on
the head. Economy must begin at
home. There is but one kind OF econ
omy that counts, and that is to stop
eXpending except for the absolutely
essential. 1t is the only course possible
when you have not got the money.
The notion that there is no end to the
peoples money is a myth.
The bureau chief who starts in with
the theory that anything whatever
within his jurisdiction is essential will
utterly fail as an estimator on the
new budget plan. If the entire gov
ernment were swept out of existence,
the world would keep right on in its
orbit, and we should go with it. And,
somehow, we should get on among
ourselves.
But nothing of that kind is neces-
sary or suggested. All that is propos-
ed is that we shall take from the peo-
pie in taxes as much as and no more
than they can spare without Gripping
their own energies and apportion it
according to the best judgment of
those in authority.-San Francisco
Chronicle.
