One Year Of Republican
Rule Shows Tremendous
Savings
Reduction Of Over Billion in Public Debt
and Nearly Two Billions in Public
Expenses Congress Cuts i
Budget REQUESTS.

U. 8. REPREsENTATIvE WILL r. WOOD trNDI-,
ANA), MEMBER OF HOUSE COMMITTEE IA
ON APPROPRIATIONS ~

President Harding took Office on
March 4, 1921. The first complete
fiscal year of government business
under his administration began on
July 1, 1872, and closed on June
80, 1922. The Budget Bureau was
created in June, 1921, practically
simultaneously with the commence
ment of the fiscal year. The esti-
mated expenditures tentatively sub
mitted by the VARIOUS departments
for the fiscal year 1922 aggregated
$4,550,000,000. The operations Of
that fiscal year have just closed. By
the application of pressure by the
President, exerted through the
Budget Bureau and with the coopera-
tion of the heads of departments and
other administrative officers, the or
binary expenditures for 1922 actual
ly amount to $3,795, 900, a re-
duction Of s755, 100000 from the
figure submitted by the departments
at the beginning of the fiscal year.
The first budget submitted in De-
cember indicated deficit for this
same fiscal year of $4,000, 900. How
successful the efforts of tbs admins
tration have been in holding down
expenditures and conserving revenue
is attested by the fact that instead
of a deficit there was surplus for
the year of 1914, 100000.
The total public debt of the United
States on June 80, 1921, one year
ago. was s23,977,00O,0OO. This sum
had been reduced on June 80, 1922,
to s22,s63,ooo,ooo, reduction Of
s1,O14,000,000.
The policy of the administration
has been return to normal condi-
tions in public expenditures. How
we'll this has been accomplished is
amply reflected by'a glance at the ex-
penditure figures of preceding years.
The Republican party gained con-
troll of the Congress in the elections
of 1913 and came into power in Con-
gress on March 4, 1919.
During the period the administra-
ton was Democratic and the Congress
was Republican, requests of the Demo-
cratic executives for appropriations
were reduced by the. Republican Con-
gress by nearly s3.OO0,O0u, 900.
Appropriations are the yard stick
of expenditures. The enforced re-

G EPARATE agreements entered into
~ by striking shopmen and railways
representing about one-tifth Of the
country's mileage last week brought
about a break in the strike that has
lasted for some IS days and threaten
ed the nations. transportation facili-
ties with decentralization. 1t is be-
lievcd some other railways will soon
make the same arrangement with the
men, these including the Rock Island,
the Burlington and the Northern Pa
ci!ic.
Some of the big lines, notably the
Pennsylvania, have not adopted the
settlement plan. They assert they al-
ready have won the strike and will
not make terms with the men who
went out. or the roads accepting the
agreements the most important are:
New York Central lines and subsi-
diaries. including Michigan Central,
Boston and Albany, and Big Four;
Chicago. Milwaukee and st. Paul;
Erie; Chicago and Northwestern and
it's subsidiary, the Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Omaha; Baltimore
and Ohio; Seaboard Air line; South
ern railway; New York, Chicago and
St. Louis; The Monon; Wheeling and
Lake Erie.
The agreements are, as they should
be, compromise. All the strikers, ex-
cept those proven guilty of acts Of
violence, are to be taken back within
thirty days at the prevailing pay
prescribed by the federal railway
labor board, and in the shops where
they were formerly employed, but not
necessarily at the same jobs. There
Is no specific provision regarding the
matter of seniority rights, but it Is
believed this issue can be worked out
satisfactorily after the men are back
at work. Any controversies arising
from the strike that cannot be settled
otherwise are to be referred to COM
mission to be established, consisting
of six representatives of the labor or
ganizations involved and six repre-
sentatlves Of the railroads. This COM
mission Is to remain in existence only
until May 81, 1923, and none of its
decisions nor the agreement in gen.
eral "shall be used or cited in any
controversy between these parties OF
between the railroads signing the
same or any other class or classes OF
their employees in any other con
troversy that may hereafter arise.
There is to be no intimidation nor op
preston of the employees who re
mained at work or those who took the
places of strikers, and all law suits
pending as result OF the strike are
to be dismissed.

Savings.
Budget Requests

ductions in appropriations and esti-
mates made most gratifying redu0,
tion in the expenditures. The peak
of ordinary expenditures was reached
in the fiscal year 1919, $1S,514.000,-
900. The drop to the fiscal year 1920
is most extraordinary, the total for
that year being $6,403, 100000. For
the fiscal year 1921 further recess
sion brought the total down to $5,-
115,927,6S9. For the fiscal year
1922 the total, as heretofore stated,
came down to $3,7s5,O00,000. This
sum includes $4,000, 900 of public
debt retirements chargeable to ordi-
nary receipts and should be elimi-
mated from the $3,795, 100000 in or
der to obtain a figure comparable to
expenditure figures for the fiscal
years 1919, 1920 and 1921. The
1922 expenditures. therefore, exclu-,
.sive of public debt retirements, are
$3,372,607, 1899. The reduction of
1922 under 1920 is $3,o30,000,000
and the reduction of 1892 under 1921
is $1,743,s1s,7 ,7Ss.
Evidence of the value Of the CEN
tralization of Congressional RESPONSE
bility in connection with the public
appropriations is furnished in the
fact that Congress appropriated for
1923 $312,172,292 less than the
Budget Bureau requested. In other
words, although frequently charged
with being the spendthrift branch Of
the government, in point Of fact the
Congress appropriated seven per cent.
less than the budget estimates asked
for.
The people Of the United States
have just reason to be proud of the
financial record of this administra-
tion. While other countries are
struggling with huge deficits in their
budgets and are burdened with enor-
nous taxes and staggering public
debt, the United States has shown q.
surplus for the fiscal year just closed
and at the same time accomplished
most gratifying reduction in its pub
/! lie debt.

CREDIT for arranging this agree
~ ment is evidently due mainly to
S. Davies Warfeld, president of the
Seaboard Air line and. head of Sc
curities concern which owns large
amounts of railway bonds. President
Willard of the Baltimore and Ohio
also was prominent in the peace ne
gotiations; and B. NJ. Jewell, head
of the striking organizations. proved
amenable to all suggestions looking
toward n fair and reasonable settle
ment.
Mr.. Warfield, in statement con-
cerning the agreement, made this per-
tinent suggestion:
"Regional railroad labor boards
should be properly and promptly es-
tablished; board named by each
group of railroads that operate in
each of the four rate-making districts
into which the commission has d.
vided the country; the men Of each
group of railroads to also organize
boards to confer with the regional
railroad boards. Negotiations could
be successfully carried on and dis
puted questions settled If approached
In good faith."
II Earring on the motion to have
IL the strike Injunction obtained
by Attorney General Daugherty
changed into a preliminary restraining
order until trial began last week
before Federal Judge Wilkerson in
Chicago, and the attorney general an
nounced that it would proceed despite
the partial agreements reached. The
temporary injunction was extended
ten days, but the court warned the
government forces it would not be
further extended. The government
presented many thousands of affidavits
telling of acts Of violence and threats
and other circumstances, all tending
to prove its theory that a conspiracy
existed, which in effect opstructed In
terstate commerce.
Mr.. Daugherty's determination to
press the case to decision is based
Oh his belief that the principles at
stake are more important than any
immediate Issue or effect. The injunc-
tion, he thinks, if granted beyond the
ten days now fixed by the court, will
not only protect the workers who have
taken places Of strikers on roads not

CONSIDERABLY battered by results
~ in recent primaries, the "old
guard" of the Republican party re-
sumed it's smiling appearance last
week after the primary elections were
held in Massachusetts, Michigan and
Washington. Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge won over Joseph Walker by a
three to one vote, and will have to
contest the election with William A.
CASTOR, who defeated Sherman L.
Whipple for the Democratic nominal
tion. Senator Townsend of Michigan
who was opposed by three candidates,
won his denomination by a plurality
Of about 25,00O-a notable victory
since he was hampered by the issue
Of "Newberryism." Out in Washington
Miles Poindexter had little difficulty
in obtaining a denomination for the
senate. The Democratic nominee is,
G. G. Dill.
Two Democratic gubernatorial pri-
maries in the South were of general
interest. In South Carolina 7. G. Nc
Leod defeated Governor Blease, and
the state is to be congratulated In
Georgia Governor Hardwick was beat
Ell by Clifford w. Walker. Hardwick
has opposed the Ku Klux Klan. which
probably accounts for his defeat.
Names election, which used to be
considered reliable indication Of re-
suits in the nation generally in No
MI 1n
Republicans won by what the party
leaders professed to regard as satis-
factory majorities, though naturally
they were far below those of 1920.
Senator Frederick Hale's majority over
Curtis, Democrat, was about 27,O00,
and Governor Baxter had slightly
larger margin over Pattangall. The
four Republican congressional candi-
dates were, elected, but the Democrats
increased their membership in the
state assembly from Is to 40 and in
the state senate from none to three.
Republican. leaders in Washington
called the Maine results an endorse
ment Of the administration, while the
Democratic, chiefs found satisfaction
in the reduced size of the Republican
majorities.
THE Greek debacle in Asia Minor
L was complete. Constantine's
troops-those that were not captured
were withdrawn from the mainland
in hurry and the Turkish National
lists occupied Smyrna in orderly man
ner. Then looting broke out, and on
tion that destroyed the western part
of the city. The Kemalists also oc-
cupied. .Brusa, burned by the fleeing
Greeks, and announced that their capi-
tai would be moved to Konia. Their
rejoicings over the victory were
participated in by their country
men who adhere to the CONSTANT
nople government, and there was
much talk among them of recovering
that city from alien dominance and Of
i again possessing Tbrace and the OAR
danelles. This brought a warning from
all the allies that an attack against
the neutral zones Of Ismid and the
! Dardanelles would mean war with the
allies, and British and Italian troops
/ were concentrated in those regions.
Probably the allies can restrain the
Turks, but the danger in the Near East
does not stop there and many wise
statesmen are shaking their heads over
the prospects Of a new war In the
Balkans. Bulgaria Is massing her
forces on the Thracian frontier, while
