SPRINGS SURPRISE
By Reducing Rate of Discount from 6I1
to Per Cent-Deposit Rates
May Be Lowered.

London, June 23.-The Bank Of Eng.
land sprang surprise to-day by reduc-
ing its rate OF discount from six and
one half TO six per cent just as the
banks were making up their half year.
ly accounts. IL was expected that dur.
ing the day the deposit rates would be
lowered.
II Is believed the chief reason for the
decision was the necessity that the
treasury be able TO borrow money more
chesply. The government recently has
been able 10 place treasury bills az Just
over five per cent in consequence Of
cheaper money conditions. and with an
other half per cent of the bank rate Il
i considered probable the government
will be able to place them still lower
The recent reduction of the federal
reserve hank in the United States and
the recent money conditions in Amer
iea were also deciding influences 10 the
lower minimum rate.

theory that rats were responsible, but
after all rodents were eliminated from
the building the moaning continued.
Now building experts have decided

near the scene of the crime did not
look like Italians.
In cross examination he admitted
the truth of an interview last Febru-

ITO RE0RGANIZE
BUDGET BUREAU
Charles G. Dawes Will
Call on Experienced
Business Men
WHO SHALL SERVE
WITHOUT PAY
Staff Provided BY Con-
gress Called v.s oily In
adeqr ( e

Washington, D. = June 23.-Charles
G. Dawes, choser - President Harding
TO head the - government budget
system, annou ~ after a conference
with the pres 2 today that he would
call on NJ - n of experienced bus
mess men to serve in the budget
bureau without pay because he con-
sidered the staff provided by Congress
wholly inadequate.
Mr.. Dawes declared in statement
that if the budget system was to be
success, reliance must be placed on
something else than a pitiful machin-
Iery provided by law"
'0ne might as well be handed a
toothpick with which to tunnel Pixies
Peak" he said
Mr.. Dawes said he would ask that
two army officers who distinguished
themselves for organization work in
the American expeditionary force be
detailed to the bureau and had asked
his business associate in Chicago, Will
liam T. Abbott, to serve temporarily
las acting assistant director.
The two army officers are Brigadier
General George Won Horn Mosely, for
mer assistant CHIEF of staff in General
Pershing's headquarters in France, and
Colonel Henry Smither, former assist
ant chief of staff in the service of
supply. Both were associated with Mr..
Dawes in France during the war.
Mr.. Dawes statement said in part:
I'VE all know the desperate condi
tion of the business of the country
at present--industri agricultural and
eommercial-and that it is staggering
under a tremendous burden of taxa
ton from which il must be relieved
Iif it is to properly revive.
Congress has passed the budget
law in order to give the president the
machinery with which to secure the
information necessary for him to di-
rect the reform of government business
administration and save taxes.
LET us see what Congress has done
TO give the director of the budget the
machinery 10 attempt this colossal
task. He is given an appropriation OF
S225000 for expenses and employees
and an assistant in each depart
ment appointed by the cabinet
head. But from the two hundred
and twenty-five thousand dollar appro-
priation, besides the assistant director
of the budget, he can employ for this
stupendous work only four men of his
own selection at not over six thousand
dollars each. For the rest of his force,
he is compelled TO take his chances on
men to be certified to him by the civil
service commission.
