RUSSIAN LABOR is
BEING CONSIDERED

The subject OF securing Russian la.
Dor for Fallon was introduced and
discussed at the meeting OF the Cham.
Der of Commerce Monday night 1t
was proposed to send an agent to
Nebraska, at the expense OF the Cham
Der Of Commerce, who would induce
10 to II Russian families to come TO
Fallon for the purpose OF leasing land
and farming or for working in the beet
fields, says the Fallon Eagle.
1t was said by Mr.. Schaff, one OF
the agriculturists for the sugar com
pany that these families would work
they all work. A family will take a
beet field OF so many acres and car
for it and tend it in first class shape,
The women and all the children share
in the labor.
These people soon become Ameri
canized, Mr.. Schatf said. They are in
dustrious, frugal and thrifty. They

and as soon as they can afford better
they will build better homes.
1t was stated that the best way to
get these people to come to tallon
would be to send an agent to talk to
them personally and present the oppor-
unities Fallon offers. The opinion
prevailed that many or perhaps all the
Russians would require help in get.
ting here: that they would require ad
yances Tor their living expenses until
they got on their feet. 1t was said
the sugar company would help to meet
this expense.
II is believed that If ten families
can be secured this season that they
will be the means Of inducing others
to come later.

HARDING SELECTS
DAWES TO DIRECT

Chicago Banks to Have
Charge of Government
Expenditures.

Appointment of Brig. Gen. Charles
G. Dawes, of Chicago. to be Direc-
tor of the Budget was announced
by President Harding yesterday.
Gen. Dawes will arrive in Wash
ington tomorrow and assume the
duties of the office Immediately.
His appointment does not have to
be confirmed by the Senate. 1t is
understood that Gen. Dawes will
relinquish practically all OF his
banking connections in Chicago. al
though the position pays but $4,000
year.
VIII Organize Bureau.
The new bureau, which Dawes
himself will have the task of or
ganizing. has broad powers over
expenditures of all the executive
branches, and when the President
directs, is empowered to make
detailed study OF their operation.
with the object of obtaining greater
efficiency and economy.
Dawes views on governmental
red tape and inefficiency attracted
wide attention when he presented
them to a special committee of the
House, which was investigating the
conduct of the war. In vigorous
and picturesque language, Dawes
Informed the committee that he
thought it could better spend its
time in trying to bring some SEM
blance of business methods into
government. and he took occasion
to indicate that he thought this
should be accomplished by strenu-
Gus methods.

title of "Hell-and- -Mariah" Dawes.
because he frequently used the ex-
preston in emphasizing various
points.
President Harding. it is under
stood. chose Dawes for Director of
the Budget because he is credited
with great executive and organiza-
ton ability. The budget system is
regarded by the administration as
probably it's major step in the
much-discussed program of gov
ernmental reorganization and econ
omy, since it strikes directly at the
slipshod method of making appro-
priations. Its operation will be the
elimination of attempts to institute
business methods which have been
agitated for more than a decade.
Served During War.
Dawes. in addition to his activi-
ties in private business, distin-
guished himself as director of pur-
chase of the service of supply with
the American Expeditionary Forces
in France. He held the rank of
brigadier general and now has that
rank in. the reserve. He will re-
ceive as director a salary of $1,000
year and will be answerable to-
the President alone.
The purpose of the budget sys-
tenn is to bring Federal expendi-
lures into relation with income, to
provide an agency which will ex-
anime and alter the departmental
estimates and, in general. to es-
tablish for the government methods

On Demanding Liquor
Permit Change.

Physicians seeking liquor per-
mits are treated as common boot
leggers by the prohibition authori-
ties. DR.. E. Biermon said yesterday
at the conjunction here of the
American Institute of Homeopathr
"The Anti-Saloon League attitude,
seems to prevail in the office of the
prohibition commissioner" he add
ed. There is a general feeling of
irritation on the part of the physi-
clans with the red tape, so much so,
that half the physicians of the
country are making no application
for the permits"
This is one of the big questions
to be thrashed out on the floor of
the convention this morning, when
two resolutions will be presented
One will cali on the prohibition
commissioner for a more liberal
and constructive Interpretation" of
the prohibition regulations. The
other calls for the abandonment by
the government of red tape" in the
issue of permits for medicinal al
cohol.
Easier to Get whisky.
Many of the physicians declare
that whisky can be obtained more
freely than an alcohol for pharma-
ceutical purposes and that the dis
position of the prohibition authori-
ties is to consider alcohol as a
beverage and hence to be too re-
strictive in the granting of permits
The resolution for more liberal al
cohol regulations is being spon-
sored by the physicians for the
benefit Of the pharmacists who il
is contended by some of the physi-
clans are not getting a sufficient
allowance.
In taking a stand with reference
to liquor permits, we are not con-
sidering the prohibition angle at
all" DR.. lemon said. I'VE have
nothing to say as to prohibition
We are interested in the use of
liquor solely as a medicine. While
we may get all the narcotics we
want, we must box and kowtow 70
the authorities to get liquor pre-
scriptions for diabetes, neuras-
thenics, and others who may need
It at times.
II know of an instance where the
head of a large Industrial plant in
which, alcohol with iodine was used
for its first aid plant, who had to
come all the way to Washington to
get authorization for its use. The
authorities at first took the position
that the alcohol was used as a
beerage."
