method that will get results. In his
effort to reduce federal expenditures
President Harding has the full an
proval and cooperation of the mem
bers of his cabinet. who are heads OF
departments. But he has not the full
cooperation of heads of bureaus,
many of whom are hold-overs from
the wasteful and extravagant Demo
cratic administration. It is not likely
that any head of bureau would di.
rectly and openly defy the Director
Of the Budget, but many of them,
Jealous of their petty power, would
evade or delay giving Information
that would be helpful in the effort to
cut expenses. Accustomed to the red
tape methods. they can find innumer-
able excuses for not yielding full and
hearty cooperation with the Director
of the Budget. The order of the
President, making the official status
of the Director entirely clear, ought
to help not only in speeding up the
retrenchment movement but in max
ing the results greater when accom-
plished.
The Presidents course is wise from
another viewpoint. The particular
task Of Mr.. Dawes is to find ways of
discounting useless work. eliminating
duplication of work and cutting out
work which, though useful, is not es-
sential. If he is to find ways of ac-
complishing these things, he must
haRe the power to ask for and secure
full and prompt information. Unless
he has that power, he cannot reason
ably be held accountable for results.
Having given Mr.. Dawes full power
in getting information, President
places upon the Director of
the Budget full responsibility for de-
vising plans for retrenchment.
That is the way things are- done in
private business and 1t is |
well to have the same plan pursued in
business. The Harding |
Idea is more business in government |
and less government In business. The |
country holds the President respons- |
fble for results in administration of
ne executive departments, for he is
he ultimate authority. The President |
has made Mr.. Dawes head of the |
Budget Bureau. has given him plenary !
power, and can hold him responsible |

not work. it viii not be the fault Of

SOCIAL LIFE OF A COMMUNITY

One of the best achievements of the
modern Chamber of Commerce and
Rotary and Lions clubs movement has
been its cultivation of pleasant social
relations among business men. Twenty
years ago the social condition in the
commercial circles of most towns was
not good. Most busines men looked
at their rivals and competitors as real
or potential enemies. They never
talked with them If they could help
it,, they avoided them wherever pos
sible, and met them on the street with
q cold nod.
AS result Of this aloof policy, they
were suspicious Of each other, in
clined to accuse each other of trick
cry, and they would never cooperate
for any community purpose. 1t was
The Delta independent., 1921-12-09

almost impossible to get any united
action in those days, because any
business association that might be
formed was honeycombed with this
divisive spirit.
When they began to form modern
business mems associations. the first
move was to have them meet in social
affairs. AS competitors met at these
gatherings, they found out that their
rivals were usually very good fellows,
and disposed to play fair.
1t became possible under such infiu-
ences to persuade the men in the
various lines of trade to work to-
gether and to adopt progressive meas
ures that would push ahead the trade
of town as whole, in which each
individual would share the general
benefits of the advance achieved.
If there is any of the old spirit of
aloofness and isolation prevailing
among the business men of Delta they
should shake it right off All the bust
ness men ought to form the habit of
regular social meetings with each
other, in which they become warm
personal friends and get in the habit
Of acting as unit and casting out
the old spirit of suspicion. Co-opera-
tion is the watchwprd of the day in
modern community progress, and So
cial life among the business men is
he atmosphere in which it flourishes.

HARDING's METHOD

Once more President Harding has
shown his determination to get re-
suits by going after them in direct
and forceful manner. When he want
ed reduction of armament, he laid
down a definite plan that specified
just what ships would be scrapped
and what retained. That was con-
crete and definite step toward re-
suits. Now he has made similar
move in domestic affairs. He has is
sued an executive order giving due
notice to all off1cia1dom that Director
of the Budget Dawes, in gathering in
formation, acts for the President,
"and his calls upon the chiefs of
bureaus and other administrative Off
GERS for purposes Of consultation or
information take precedence over the
cabinet head Of department, or any
head Of an independent organization"

Henry Ford announces his intention
OF financing a nationwide movement
to cleanse politics" Here's a glori-
GUS opportunity for all the grafters,
political parasites, crooks and adven.
turers to get on the inside of the easy
money. Mr.. Ford's forays into the
field of reform and philanthropy have
all been failures whose one outstand-
ing characteristic has been disaster
to the Ford pocketbook. The people
have not yet forgotten his expenditure
of vast fortune in his spectacular
and grotesque attempt to "get the
boys out of the trenches before Christ
mas" and he may be sure that the
flock of greedy vultures that fattened
on his largess on that historic oc-
casion will be eagerly waiting his
quixotic attempt to Cleanse politics"
They see in it another opportunity to
fare sumptuously every day and to
don purple and fine linen provided by
the plethoric purse of the more of less
nutty flivver man. 1t is men like Ford

To the Trade Of Adair County.

The undersigned having purchased
the stock of goods of Mr.. Albin Muir

when the steam was turned on. 1t is
expensive to put in heater, but the
convenience and comfort one affords,
is worth the price Judge Jones has
removed all his stoves, and to heat his
entire residence now, all a member
of the family has to do is "touch thu
