ENTER THE BUDGET
the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
The new Federal budget. present.
ed yesterday. estimates receipts for
.1922-'23 at s3.33s.OOO, 1000 and ex-
penditures Oncluding reduction in
the principal OF the public debit at
SO. sos. 100000 These figures ex-
.clude postal revenues and expendi-
lures, which practically balance each
other.
The sweeping reductions in taxa
tion and expenditure which have
been under way since the Harding
Administration came in are shown
by comparisons with the receipts and
disbursements OF 1921-'22 and
1920-'21. In the year 192O-'21.
ended June 80 last. receipts were
s5.624. .000.0 900 and outlay was s5,-
53s. 900. For l921-22 receipts
are expected to reach s3.943.0OO, 900
expenditures s3,967.0OO,OOO.
In the year 1922-2s. for which ap-
proximations are to be made at this
session. the Director OF the Budget

In round numbers, the total ordi-
nary expenses for the present fiscal
year at $500, 100000 will be a bill
lion and a half dollars below those
Of the past fiscal year and more than
two and three-quarter billions of
dollars below those of the year be-
fore that.
For the next fisfal year, as the
budget estimates went to Congress
yesterday. the total ordinary. expen-
ditures at S3,143, 900, 900 will be half

this year, two billions OF dollars be-
low those Of the past year and near
ly three and a third billions of dol
lars below those of the year before
that. All these billions saved to
the pockets OF the American public
instead OF being hurled into the
bottomless pit of government squan-
der and economic obliterationl
Yet gratifying as this chopping,

staggering spendings which are un-

Included in the foregoing esti-

STATE MANAGED
UTILITIES SLIPPING.

From Daily Financial America
Socialism in the German saddle
clings with desperation to State
operated utilities and Industries
Yet II seems quite possible now that
the Socialist government will let
some OF its pet enterprises fall Into
the hands OF the Allied Preparations
Commission rather than finance
itself at home by surrendering them
to private control. That is the di-
lemma II now faces in the need OF
money for further indemnity pay
ments. II America accepts nay
part in the work OF the Reparations
Commission. her voice should be
raised against the extension OF the
grating State-opersted utilities sys-
tenn. Under its operation Germany g
socialist government is unable to
economize. II hires twice as many
railroads as autocracy used and
handles less than half the traffic.
Railroad yards and shops are
crowded with loafing placeholders

The management Of this colossal

Popular Norma Talmadge who is
now showing at the Savoy
theatre and for the balance of this
week in Poppy" one of the great
est productions adapted from the
novel by Cynthia Stockley, is cast in
a story that is intensely human
throughout and deals with the life
Of a young girl who graduates from
a life of drudgery to refinement.
Miss Talmadge plays the part OF
Poppy Destin, an orphan, whose life
is moulded by the actions Of three
men, Luce Abinger, the unscrupu-
lous; DR.. Braham, the generous and
Evelyn Carson, the lover.
Through them a series OF dramatic
situations arises which forms the
basis for one Of the most unique
stories ever filmed for the screen.
The added attraction is featured

HIGH LABOR RETARDS
BUSINESS RECOVERY

Discussing the business outlook,

high Valley Railroad. writes as fol-
lows in Forbes Magazine On. Y).:
Unemployment is decreasing in
certain departments, so far as the
railroads are concerned. as a result
improvement in business.
with practically all the lines
however. important increases in the
number OF employees in their main
tenance departments have been re-
stricted because the national officers
OF the shop crafts, for instance.
have kept large numbers OF their
followers out OF work due to their
insistence that they shall be subject
only to rules and conditions similar
to those which prevailed during
Federal control. AS a result the rail-
roads have held their maintenance
charges to the minimum and have
restricted their improvements as
much as possible. feeling that the
labor costs involved in such work
were entirely too high and out OF
keeping with the rates paid similar
labor in other industries.
THE difficulty is in the distribution
OF unemployment. The non-union
miners have all the work they can
do and the union men are idle, just
as in the railroad instance. the shop
workers normally employed by the
railroads arc idle. while those out
side and unrestricted by rules the
unions demand. are well employed
repairing the equipment OF the rail-
roads.
AN interesting feature OF the sit
uation Is the tendency OF union mine
workers 10 accept work at the GO
