whole heart, but also exercised the keenest dis
elimination in selecting for the head of the
bureau a man who was capable of seeing the
weaknesses of the old systems and fearless
enough to apply remedy.
Major Dawes quickly informed department
heads that the country wanted economy, and
that he was prepared to see that the wish was
gratified They gave him the cooperation he
needed and also entered into system of CO.
ordinating agencies which permitted him to pre-
sent a budget that shows marked decrease in
expenditures.
This, however, is only the beginning, for as
the details of the system are perfected other re-
forms. all tending to an economical administers
ton of federal finances, will evolve. His first
budget is generally accepted with favor and
commendation for it proves that the system was
not to be dead law, but measure whereby
costs were to be lowered and efficiency restored.
The saving of millions of dollars Of the public
funds is bound to result. And it may be said
in passing that an alert public opinion will not
permit faddists and visionary apostles of freak
legislation to grasp the opportunity to use the
money that has been saved for expenditures to
promote their movements.
The American people want the saving to
show itself in reduced appropriations and in 4
lessening demand for revenue If the money
saved by the budget system is to be spent IN
other ways, there will be no gain.

The Federal Budget

The budget which President Harding sub
mitted to congress shows a reduction Of nearly
two billion dollars less than the expenditures of
1921 and, besides that, indicates that he was not
INDUCING in generalities when he asserted that
the cost of government must come down.
Major Dawes, director of the budget, minces
no words in the statement which accompanied
the presentation of the first federal budget in
our history to the legislative body. He COM
pares the old system with a private corporation
that had no budget and in which the various de-
partment heads were permitted to run their
departments without coming into contact with
each other, without executive supervision, and
without a policy with which all were acquainted.
The waste of the old system was colossal and
and had reached the point where reform was
absolutely necessary. After congress had passed
a measure providing for budget system, Presj-
dent Harding not only backed the measure with

We had all risen to our feet, our
prisoner breathing hard, with a stall
wart constable on each side of him.
Already a few loiterers had begun TO

1t was a tremendously virile and yet

great capacities for good or for evil.
But one could not look upon his cruel

lids or upon the fierce, aggressive nose
and the threatening, deep-lined brow,
without reading natures plainest dan

equally blended. You fierd!" he kept
