A, auctions in appropriations and esti-
mates made a most gratifying reduc-
uon In the expenditures. The peak
Of ordinary expenditures was reached
In the fiscal year 1919, 4,OO0,-
900. The drop to the fiscal year 1920
is most extraordinary, the total for
that year being $6,403,0 100000. For
the fiscal year 1921 further recess
sion brought the total down to So
15.e27,6S9 For the fiscal year
1922 the total, as heretofore stated.
came down to $3.795. 100000. This
sum includes $422.0O0,000 of public
debt retirements chargeable to ordi-
nary receipts and should be elimi-
mated from the .795.000,O00 in Or
der to obtain a figure comparable to
expenditure figures for the fiscal
years 1919, 1920 and 1921. The
sive Of public debt retirements, are
$3,372. .607.S99. The reduction of
1922 under 1920 is S3.03O,OO0.oO0
and the reduction OF 1922 under 1921
is 31.74s,31s.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
1928 $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.
lese 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-
ton 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 =
surplus for the nscal year just closed
and at the same time accomplished a
most gratifying reduction in its pub
! lie debt.

FEDERAL AID BUILT 600
MILES OF ROADS IN JULY

Washington.-The United States is
600 miles nearer the goal OF COM
pleted system OF national highways
as result of the work OF July, ac-
cording to a report of the bureau OF
public roads. The final goal is con-
struction of approximately 10000
miles of improved highways consist
ing of net work of trunk lines and
secondary roads reaching into prac-
tically every county. The work has
just started. however. as the complet-
ed federal.aid roads now total only
1929 miles with $1,000 more In the
course OF construction.
The recent postoffice appropriation
bill provided for a continuation of
the federal-aid-highway act by the ap-
preparation of s50.O00OOO for use in
the current fiscal year. s65 900. 900
for the fiscal years beginning July
I. 1923. and s75 1000. 900 for the fiscal
year beginning July l. 1924-a total OF
$3.50, 900. 900 which is to be matched
by equal amounts by states which
share in the distribution OF these fed
eral appropriations.

One Year of Republican
Rule Shows Tremendous
Savings
Reduction of Over Billion in Public Debt
and Nearly Two Billions in Public
Expenses-Congress Cuts
Budget Requests
o. .. REPRESENTATIVE WILL R.. WOOD INDI-
ANA). MEMBER OF HOUSE COMMITTEE
ON APPROPRIATIONS

President Harding took office or
March 4, 1921. The first complete
fiscal year of government business
under his administration began or
July /, 1921, 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
81, 100000. 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
dinary expenditures for 1922 actual
ly amount to s3.795,0O0, 1000, a re-
duction Of 1855, 100000 from the
figure submitted by the departments
at the beginning of the fscsl year.
The first budget submitted in De-
cember indicated a deficit for this
same fiscal year Of $24. 100000. How
successful the efforts of the admins
tration have been in holding down
expenditures and conserving revenue
Ia attested by the fact that instead
Of deficit there was surplus for
the year of $314.000,O0O.
The total public debt of the United
States on June 80, 1921, one year
ago, was $23.977,000,OOO. This sum
had been reduced on June 80, 1922,
to 100000, a reduction of
1000.
The policy of the administration
has been a return to normal condi-
tions in public expenditures. How
we'll this has been accomplished is
amply reflected by a glance at the eI-
penditure figures of preceding years.
The Republican party gained con-
troll of the Congress in the elections
of 1918 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 $4,000, 100000.

sixteen months ago the Republican

broad way, were the conditions pre-
vailing when this administration took
control OF the country and the present
Republican Congress was called into
special session.
Today we have a President whose

SENATOR PAT HARRISON
FEARS HAYS CENSORSHIP
Protests Against Postmaster
General Taking Mouie Job.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Z. Protesting
against acceptance by Postmaster-Gen
eral Hays of the rendered position as
head Of the motion picture industry.
Senator Harrison (Dem), Mississippi.
declared in the Senate late to-day that
II the motion picture producers get
the biggest politician in the Republican
party to head that industry we must
look upon 1t with suspicion"
Stating that he had no doubt Mr..
Hays would accept the offer and retire
from the Cabinet, Senator Harrison said
ne was fearful that If the former Re-
publican national chairman becomes
the head of the motion picture industry
he will place a censorship upon some
Democratic pictures that should be
shown
Senator Harrison referred in condem-
natory terms to the offer Judge Landis
accepted from organized baseball and
asked:
why is Mr.. Hays selected by the mo-
tion picture industry to accept a fabu-
lous salary? What is the purpose of
making this tender? Is it because he is
close to the powers that be? Is it be-
cause he controls four or five hundred
thousand post offices throughout the
country and the mails? Is it because he
has the ear OF the President of the
Dnlted states ana SITS IN the circles OF
the Administration? Is il because he
helped to elect the House of Represen-
tatives whose duty it Is to frame tax
laws and tariff measures? Is It because
he played such large part in the cleo
tion of Senator'S who control the policy
of the Administration in the body?"
''Thev have chosen him because they
think he can do the work he continued.
'Is IL because OF any exceptional ability
which ne has shown as Postmaster-Gen-
eral? Is Il because he can elevate the
morals Of the country? No. These are
not the qualifications that have caused
the tempting offer. There is more sig
nificance to the offer being made to the
Postmaster-General than to any other
Cabinet officer. He came into prom
inence because he was a great organizer
and politician"
Senator Sutherland (W. Va) sug-
gested that former Treasury Secretary
William g. McAdoo had accepted an Of
fer from the same industry. Senator
Harrison rejoned that the nature of the
employment was different in that Mr..
NcAdoo represented three or four stars
and not the whole industry and had ac-
cepted the tender after he severed his
official connection with the Cabinet.

Speculation as to who will succeed
Will H Hays as Postmaster Genera! be-
came more pronounced in Washington
to-day, with the result that not fewer
than eight names are on the list OF pos
sibilities for consideration by President
Harding.
They are Col. William b. Thompson,
Charles d. Hilles and Courtland Smith
OF New York, Walter Dickey of Kansas.
Senator New and James p. Goodrich OF
Indiana, DR.. Hubert Work of Colorado,
at present the First Assistant Postmas-
ter General. and Carmi A. Thompson Of
Ohio.
In addition to these names IL was
considered a possibility that Edwin
DENLY, the Secretary Of the Navy, might
be asked to take the portfolio, provided
the vacancy occurs after the proposed
reorganization of the Government de-
partments goes into effect. One of the
features of the reorganization provides
for the consolidation of the War and
Navy departments. with the result that
either Secretary Weeks or Secretary
DENLY might be available.
Those close to Postmaster-Ge General
Hays said to-day they thought 1t doubt
ful whether Mr.. Hays. in accepting the
offer to become the managing director
of the National Association of Motion
Picture Producers, would leave the Gov
ernment service Immediately. They be-
lieve he would remain for two or three
months at least, until some of the re-
forms he has instituted are in working
order. 1t seemed to them that Mr.. Hays
would fill out the year. which would
mean that the resignation would not
take effect until March at least.
The possibility of the selection OF DR..
Work, who, because of his present posi-
tion is well in the swing of the Post
Office Department activities, or of Mr.
Dickey of Kansas. seemed to be fore
most in the discussion. This was due
TO the fact that neither Colorado nor
Kansas is at present represented in the
Cabinet, whereas Ohio and New York
both are represented Indiana has had
representation in Mr.. Hays. There
seems TO be some doubt whether Sena-
tor New or Mr.. Goodrich would be will
ing to take the Cabinet place.
