End of Matter.
Uv The united press)

Washington, March 25.-.-President
Harding and Budget Director Dawes
are on the wrong trail in their
hunt fer governmental economy,
William e. Redfield, secretary of
commerce under Woodrow Wilson,
believes. Harding and Dawes, Gin
nccently or otherwise are raising
false hopes among the people, he
said
"They are hunting at the wrong
end of Pennsylvania avenue" Red
field said. ''In the halls of con-
gress is where the solution can be
found in the departments.
have great admiration for Mr.
Dawes, but he is barking up the
wrong tree-the littlest tree. And
he is helpless to do otherwise"
Only limited temporary economies
which in the end cost the people
more, can be achieved by trimming
departmental budgets, lie said.
There are certain fixed charges
which the departments must meet
if they are to function as the people
and congress demand" he said.
''These Charges can be cut very lit
tie. On the other hand, congress
dips into the pork barrel for hun
dreds of millions of dollars for prof.
ects of all sorts to appease the de-
mands of their constituents. That
is where governmental extravaganza
is being practiced. And that is
where it must be stopped if econ
omy is to be effected and taxes re-
duced.
First of all the people, repre-
scented by the chambers of commerce
and other bodies, must stop their
pressure upon congress for new
buildings, new roads, new river i'm
proyements and the thousands OF
other demands that constitute a
drain on the national treasury. Con-
gressmen must subordinate selfish
interests to national service by turn
ing their backs ON appropriation de-
mands
we will have economy and low
er taxes when the people and con-
gress keep their hands out the
pork Darrell" .

SOLDIER BILL
WILL BE- VOTED
ON This week
GilEett Consents to Ballot
Under Suspension-Sup-
porters OF Measure Are
Confident.

Washington, March 22.-Speaker
Gillett consented yesterday to per-
nit the compromise soldiers bonus
bill to be taken up in the House
Thursday under suspension Of the
rules. It is the plan to have the
final vote before adjournment that
day, after four hours of general de-
bate, divided equally between oppo-
nents and proponents.
A two-thirds majority will be
necessary to pass the bill under
this procedure, but those in charge
of the legislation predicted that they
would have votes to spare. By this
method the majority will succeed
not only in shutting out all amend
ments, but also in preventing the
Democrats from offering a motion
to recommit the bill.
The parliamentary plan for han
ding the measure was determined
upon at five minutes conference
yesterday between Mp. Gillett and
Chairman Campbell of the rules
committee On leaving the speaker S
office, Mr. Campbell announced that
his committee would meet today to
draft rule making Thursday sua-
pension day and increasing the
timc for debate under the suspension
from the usual 40 minutes to four
hours.
The special rule will be presented
Immediately after the House con-
Venes Thursday, Mr.. Campbell said,
but whether any debate on it will
be permitted has not yet been de-
termined. The chairman might cut
of discussion by moving the pre-
vious question after explaining the
rule. a majority vote will be re-
quired to adopt the rule, which
Democratic leaders said would be
opposed almost solidly by their side
With the rule adopted the next
step would be for Chairman Ford
ney, of the ways and means COM
bill, to move to suspend the rules
and pass the measure, thus opening
the way to general debate on the
bonus itself. After four hours the
final roll call would be ordered
After his conference with Mr.
Campbell, Speaker Gillett said he
was inclined to think that it would
be just as we'll not to open the way
for the Democrats to offer a mo-
ton on the bill, which would have
to be permitted unless the rules were
suspended. He called attention that
in their minority report the Demo
Gratis had urged that the bonus be
paid by an excess profits tax and
increased sur-taxes.
Asked if a motion to re-enac;
those taxes would be germaue since
the bill had no tax provision, Mr..
Gnlett said he might rule that i'll
was not, but that there then prob
ably would be an appeal from his
decision, which would bring the
matter of those taxes to vote OF
the House.
After their failure to get the bill
up Monday under a suspension Of the
rules, those in charge of the legisla-
ton appeared to be highly gratified
that their original plan finally had
been approved They anticipated
little or no difficulty in executing
tAeir programme on the floor and |
believed that by Thursday night the |
problem with which they have been
wrestling for several months would |
be off their hands.

iC. Mcconnell, former federal prohi-
lbition director for Pennsylvania, and
AS others, including several asso-
ciates Of Mcconnell while he was
prohibition director, were indicted
late yesterday by a federal grand
jury for conspiracy to defraud the
United States government in the
fraudulent issuance of permits to
withdraw liquor from bond.
The indictments were returned
after grand jury investigation of
the alleged release of 100000 gal
Ions of whiskey and alcohol to
bootleggers during the To-day re-
gime of Mcconnell as head of the
prohibition law enforcement staff
in Pennsylvania.
S. 3. Wolfe, former chief of the
Pittsburgh prohibition office under
Mcconnell, and Jacob Slonaker, chief
group head of enforcement agents
| in Philadelphia under Leo A. Cros-
| sin, McConnelPs predecessor, also
were indicted.

turned by the grand jury included
Albert f. Slater, MeConnell's for
mer secretary; Hiram w. Benncr,
| head of the permit division of the
prohibition office in Philadelphia;
Samuel Singer, recently sentenced
| to six months imprisonment by

two score of alleged bootleggers and
truckmen charged with having been
laccomplices in the alleged conspir-
| acy.
Bench Warrants Issued.
Ben warrants were issued by Fed
eral Judge Thompson for all those
indicted but it was said at the dis
trict attorneys office that they will
not be served in cases where the
defendants give notice they will sur
render.

| sylvania republican politics and .
form stee senator, was appointed
prohibition director on the recon-
mendation of the late United States
| Senator Boies Penrose. After his
resignation in January as prohibit
ton director he went to Florida
where he is now.
The indictments were returned a
| few hours after Henry 7, Walnut,
fromer assistant United tSates dis
ftriet attorney, had delivered an ad-
dress before the city club, in which
he said that proceedings against
Mcconnell before the grand jury
had been held up by District At

attorney generals office at Wash

he had tried to proceed against Nc
Cornell and present evidence against
him to the grand jury, he had been
prevented from doing so, and had
been informed by Coles that action
against Mcconnell Eat this time
