BANK FRANCHISE
TAX CUT IS URGED
Bill Would Increase
Dividends to IL Per
Cent.

Reduction of the franchise tax
on Federal Reserve banks, allow
ing the banks a larger dividend
on their earnings, was advocated
by Governor Harding of the Fed
eral Reserve Board. appearing
before the House Banking and
Currency Committee. yesterday. in
support of a bill by Representative
Appleby. Republican, of Wisconsin.
The effect of the Appleby bill,
Harding said, would be to give the
banks what would amount vir-
tually to a IL per cent dividend
instead of per cent, as fixed by
present law. He estimated the
probable earnings of the banks for
this year at s20.000.00O. of which
sum. under the Appleby measure.
the banks would receive approxi-
mately s12.350.00O. or about 12 per
cent on the capital stock of the
banks. The government would get
around $6.000.0O0. and the remain
der would go into the surplus ac-
counts of the banks.
The franchise tax of the gov
ernment would be reduced to con-
form to the additional allowance
to the banks.

Dawes Claims Government

TEN Was introduced, on
Eve of Retirement.

The government not only can be
run as economically as a private
business, but more economically
than a private business"
Thus spoke Brig, Gen. Charles
Gates Dawes from e cloudsof pipe
smoke as. ,he cleared out his desk
preparatory to relinduishing itomor-
row his position as director OF the
budget and going back to Chicago
10 resume the manasement. of the
Central Trust Company Of Illinois.
In a year Of the hardest work
he ever has done-cutting red tape
with tha Hell and Maria" ruthless
ness for which he is famed; clear
ing away the barnacles of bureauc-
racy. and introducing orderly
methods and scientific accounting
Gen. Dawes has placed the govern
ment on a business basis for the
first time in it's history.
You know the story OF the Ne
braska merchant who never. kept
any books but a checkbook."- said
the general The sheriff took over
his business in due time. Well. the
United States government has been
JUST Ludt lOE thdu Low
years, but has been rich enough to
do 1t with impunity."
The government never had had
a balance sheet. a fact that struck
the business mind Of Dawes with
horror. Couldn't be done, said the
bureaucrats. Nonsense, said Dawes.
He drafted the services of fifteen
big business men on a dollar-a-year
basis and set them to reorganizing
the business methods OF the de-
partments. Some of them brought
staffs of their own experts with
them. After nine months hard
work a balance sheet was produced
for the Postoffice Department. The
work is to continue under, Mr..
Dawes successor. Gen. II. NJ. Lord
until each department, in addition
to the whole government. has its
balance sheet.
The credit for his monumental
achievement Gen. Dawes modestly
gives to President Harding. The Pres
ident was. determined to overhaul the
antiquated government machinery.
eliminate wastefulness and save the
taxpayers billions OF dollars. When
the bureaucrats perceived the Presi-
dent was in earnest Dawes found a
clear road to the introduction Of re-
forms.
In the year of Dawes administra-
ton as the first director OF the bud
get government expenses have been
reduced S1.741, 100000. About half OF
that is due to Dawes economy meth
ods.
Up to June 26 the government. al

last year. shows a surplus OF ordinary
receipts over expenses (public debt

only s169.5s6.O0o.
To show that this enormous reduc-
tion OF expenses had not Just hap

executive control and therefore could
be lessened by better business man
