"IITH characteristic energy, Charles G. Dawes.
w Director of Budget, after conference with
President Harding and his Cabinet Tues
day. has undertaken the difficult task OF placing gov
ernment expenditures a budget basis within thirty
days; that is to make it operative with the beginning
Of the fiscal July 1921 instead of the fiscal year
1922, as contemplated when the bill was enacted
by Congress One Of the principal difficulties is that
appropriations for the operation of the different
branches of the government for the coming year al
ready have been made, but President Harding believes
that these appropriations be materially reduced
and Director Dawes promises to do it.
Director Dawes met Cabinet members and bureau
chiefs at the Department of the Interior Wednesday
to begin the consideration Of the plan to put the budget
system into immediate operation. President Harding
presided He said that the administration was pledged
to economy and must take steps at to prevent
loss and unscientihc expenditure and must look to
the bureau chiefs to initiate the cuts.
Mr.. Dawes read a statement at the opening of the
meeting outlining his views. He said:
"The permanent success Of the budget system in
the United States depends upon certain basic prnc-
pies which at its inception must be firmly estab
lished both concepts and rules of action that they
will never hereafter be questioned.
THE Budget Bureau must be impartial, mper-
sonal and nonpolitical.
"The Director of the Budget in the matter of
governmental business administration has no respon-
sibilty under the law for the administration of
his own bureau. he IS simply an ADVISOR OF the
President and Congress in the of correcting
business administration.
"The Director of the Budget in gathering infor-
nation for the of the President for the Pres
ident, and his calls upon the chiefs Of bureaus and
other administrative officers for purposes of consul
taton information take precedence the Cabi-
net head Of department, any head of inde
pendent organization.
"The budget representative in each department,
being appointed by the Cabinet head, will present to
the Director of the Budget the views of the Cabinet
head upon the wisdom of conclusions drawn by the
Director Of the Budget for the use Of the Chief Ex-
ecutve and Congress, but in the of bureau
chiefs and other officers the call Of the Director of
the Budget for their presence and advice takes pre-
cedence over the Cabinet head"
He then stated that he would expect the de-
partments to Immediately appoint budget represent
atve to meet with him and go the proposed re-
ductons in force and expenditures. He said that he
would cooperate with the program for reclassifyng
Civil Service employees and would expedite the re-
grouping of departments so as to avoid duplication
of effort to better efficiency and step in econ
omy. He then promised a reduction of IS per cent
in the expenses Of operating the Budget Bureau

Imposing Southern
Shorthorn Events

No announcement in recent years
has occasioned so general and sincere
interest among southern cattle men
as that recently made of the holding
on June 20 and 81, proably at Colum-
bia, Tenn, of the Southern Short
horn Exhibition and Sale. One hun
bred and twenty-five head of the
highest class purebred Southern cat
tie the entire south can produce will
be shown in contest for cash pre-
miums amounting to $4,000, and
every animal in the show will be Of
fered for sale by auction to the bid
ders of the South following the con-
clusion of the show. The cattle will
be consigned by leading breeders in
the states of Kentucky, Tennessee,
North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi
The event will be similar in char
acter to the National Shorthorn Con-
gress, Show and Sale, held in Chica-
go annually in February, and in like
manner will afford Shorthorn breed
ers an opportunity to exhibit for
prizes and those who wish to pur-
chaser to secure thier requirements
at reasonable prices.
The Nashville, Chattanooga & St..
Louis Railway and the American
Shorthorn Breeders association are
cooperating in the promotion and
conduct of the exhibit and sale, and
F. w. Harding, chief executive Of
the association, will officiate as Judge
Of the Show.

Mr.. Bradberry states he had just
left the Bell restaurant and was not
going at a rapid rate of speed; that
when he neared the crossing he saw
Mr.. Reynolds about or near midway,
that he turned his car to go behind
him, and that Mr.. Reynolds stopped
and started back. He then turned
his car the other way and, about the
same time Mr.. Reynolds started on
across, and that both got to See

the car until the fender had struck
Reynolds and knocked him down.
Mr.. Reynolds states that he saw
the car coming at rapid rate; that
he waved a paper which he held in
hand to the driver to stop and called
to him, but that the car came on and
that it seemed the driver did not have
control of it. He says he was knocked
some distance.

Great Activities in
Road Construction
!: in 18th District

A stranger travelling through the
nth district, whether a good ROAD
booster or not, would naturally ask
the citizens Under what system are
YOU constructing roads" On look
ing at the good work done and the
great number of miles completed
one would think that the work was
done under the contract system ana
with state and federal aid. Big fills
have been made, high banks widened
SO as to give 30-foot road beds and
approximately 20 miles have been
built and are being dragged after
each rain. A close Investigation
would reveal the fact that the 18th
district has the same road law ana
kind of road officials that the other
districts in Weakley county have.
The construction work has been done
bv the people. The "six days work
law" did not do the work, nor the
lawful warning of road hands did
not do the work. The good citizens
decided they would have roads and
they with teams, tractors and their
own tools. What these men have
done is just merely an index to the
tpye of citizens prevailing in the dis
trict and in keeping with their usual
way of doing things. These good
roads have added much to the com
fort of travellers and have given the
citizens the satisfaction Of living on
a good road. Some good grading,
fencing and other identifying work
has been done to the school grounds,
which together with the 3O-foot road
in front Of the building adds much
to it appearance. These people tax
ing part in the work are to be COM
mended and it is hoped the good in
terest spread to other communities

NATIONAL OIL POLICY

"This country needs a petroleum
policy that will not change as the
different political administrations
come and go. 1t should be as sub
stantial and immovable as the Mon
roe doctrine" says Mark l.. Requa
In furtherance Of the establish
ment of such a policy, and to secure
for the American petroleum industry
foreign sources of supplies through
the cooperation of National Govern
ment, the California state legislature
by joint resolution goes on record
and respectfully urges upon the ma
tional government the wisdom Of
and necessity for the adoption of a
cooperative and sympathetic attitude
toward the American petroleum in
dustry in it's efforts to secure for
eign sources Of supply; and further
urges that American nationals be as
sured of government protection is SO
far as is compatible with interna-
tional law and the comfy of nations,
and the American government should
make every endeavor to secure for
it's national equal rights with the
nationals of other countries.

SEES NEED OF FEDERAL AID
Read Congress Favors Creation of
Highway transportation Bureau
Roads Lead to Wealth.

Creation of a permanent national
bureau of transportation, together
With continuance of state organiza-
tions, has been recommended as one
of the most important steps in the
work of construction. Without at
tempting to seize any credit for them
selves, it is the opinion of highway
officials that such Investigations as
had been undertaken in the several
states of the Union had disclosed an
immediate economic need for the con
tinuance of the work which has for
lis basis elimination of waste effort
in transportation, with a resultant de-
crease of living costs, as an immedi-
ate development of the vast potential
resources of the nation now lying dor
p1ant for want of means of convey
ance.
AS a result of the deliberations of
a meeting in Chicago the committee
went on record as favoring these
points: The enactment by congress
of an amendment to the present fed
eral aid road act, which would pro
vide S500,O00000 for work on the
reads of the United States during the
next seven years the creation of
federal highway commission of five
skilled engineers who should have
charge of the expenditure of this fund
in conference with the highway com
misioners of the various states; the
construction of a national system of
highways, the location of which is to
be determined by the commission and
the supervision of which is to remain
III charge of the state highway de.
partnents, and, finally, changes in the
present federal aid act which would
do away with the restrictions now
limiting federal aid to roads on 70
per cent of the mileage of which
there is post delivery and of the linn
itution of $4,000 per mile under fed
eral aid
Reports from all sections of the
country showed that it has been pos
sible to bring about very marked
increase in marketing through i'm
proved transportation wherever the
road would stand the traffic. The con-
clusions reached were that all that is
