PAIRING SYSTEM
STARTED SAVES
1876 MILLIONS
President Announces
Accomplishments of
Economy to 1000 Aids
Says Example Of Gov
ernment Will Aid
People, Maybe World.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Announcing
prospects of surplus of governmental
receipts over expenditures this fiscal
year as a result Of economies in ad-
ministration, President Harding, speak
ing at the second business meeting of
the government, declared he doubted
''if any government IN the world had
made a more persistent and conscientl-
Gus endeavor to cut down its expend-
itures and institute economies and re-
store normal ways again. than has
the American government.
The president and Director Dawes,
of the budget, who followed him. an
nounceed to the meeting, composed of
more than a thousand government of
ficials of high and low degrees, that
direct savings of $32 100000 and in
direct savings of more than $l04, ,OO0.-
600 had been accomplished in less than
six months through the operation alone
Of the budget bureau and co-ordinating
agencies.
Impresses Thrift on Nation
Mr.. Harding expressed the further
opinion that the efforts on the part Of
the government toward economy had
been reflected among the people at
large.
Il cannot but feel that the govern
ment has by it's organization and ex-
ample of care and thrift that has held
greatly to make saving fashionable
If to some extent the government has
been q leader in SO praiseworthy
cause, we ought all to be gratitled
to have had part in the affair. Much
of the extravaganza of the government
has been due to lack of sense Of indi-
vidual responsibility. and the same is
true in the corporate businesses and
the private affairs of people. II our
efforts here shall set standard and
be an ambition for greater economies
and higher efficiency. we shall served
not only the government, but the
whole public particularly as well,
Perhaps our example will be OF serv-
ice to the world
Opposed Deficiency Appropriations
The president reiterated his oppo
sition to deficiency appropriations and
mada plea for an understanding
among officials of the government
that the common good, not depart
mental advantages, be the end at which
all Of us must aim
Discussing the prospects of a sur
plus instead of deficit as was gen
orally expected. Mr.. Harding appealed
for a continuation of the careful and
painstaking effort which had been
made continuously during the first
half of the year" and added:
"In a business SO great as that of
the national government, unexpected
receipts will not infrequently swell the
total of calculated revenues. 1t seems
likely that this will be true during the
current year. But despite this possi-
1ility, it now seems probable that the
restrictions upon expenditures which |
have been possible by reason of the
administrations general policy and
your splendid cooperation would have
resulted in surplus of receipts for
he year. The prospect of such sur
olus. when compared with the csti-
mated deficiency of $24.500OO0 that |
vas outlined in the budget figures
submitted to congress in December. is
certainly an occasion of much satisfac-
inn tn aIl of rs

A decision as to the methods of rails
ing the necessary revenue, reached in
agreement between the administration
and congressional leaders, would solve
the most difficult problem before the
house committee charged with drafting
the adjusted compensation legislation
and would be expected to remove what
otherwise might prove subjects Of ser
ious disagreement between the house
and senate.
Members Of the ways and means COM
lmttee said Friday that the bill to be
reported to the house, probably with
in two weeks, would provide for begin
ming the cash payments to the former
service men on January IA, 1923.
They said this would give time in which
to raise the revenue and to pass upon
the applications for the cash bonus.
Re-enactment of the excess profits
tax as a method of financing the bonus
was urged before the ways and means
committee Friday by Representatives
Woodruff of Michigan, and Brown of
Wisconsin, both republicans. They said
there was sales tax that would be
more popular than some others.
Opposition to such proposal was
voiced by some af the republican mem
bers of the committee.
Chairman Fordney announced after
a conference with President Harding
that whether the money will be OBJ
tanned by internal tax or by the use Of
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-02-04

proceeds from the refunded foreign
debt, or both. remains to be determined
Mr.. Fordney expects the bill to be
ready for the house within two weeks
and. thinks only few days will be
required for its passage. Senate re-
publicans, in party conference, already
have voted to press the bonus legis-
iation. \.
Because of the uncertainty as to
the number Of former service men who
will take the cash feature, the house
committee is having difficulty in de-
termining just what the cost would
be for the first two years. Some es-
Inmates of the bonus are as high as
so per cent.
Representative Green. Of Iowa. the
ranking republican. declared that aside
from the constitutional question in
volved the arguments against legalizing
the sale of beer was SO compelling that
the proposition could not be enter
tanned. Representative Garner, Of
Texas, the ranking democrat, said it
was waste of time to talk about
raising revenue when two thirds OF
both house and senate were opposed
to the beer and light wine proposition.
The argument for 275 beer was
made by Levy Cook. a Washington at
torney, who said he spoke for the
public.
Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
for the anti-saloon league, opposed the
suggestion.

UNIONS REBUKE R. R.
STRIKE IN GERMANY;
DEMAND CESSATION
Labor Federation Also Disap.
proves Of Sympathetic Ac-
ton; Unrest Grows.

Berlin. Feb. 3.-(By the Associated
Press. "A sharp rebuke to the strik
ing railway men for the manner il
which they effected the strike in the
face of pending wage negotiations with
the government is contained in a joint
proclamation issued Friday by repre-,
sentatiyes of the General Federation
of Labor Unions and Independent or
ganizations. 1t sets forth the catas-
trophic effects of the strike upon the
internal situation in Germany, coming
as it does on the eve of the Genoa
conference.
Demand is made that the strikers re-
turn to work Immediately. whereupon
the resolution says, the wage parleys
will be resumed promptly and the anti
strike ordinances promulgated by Presi-
dent Ebert will be revoked. The chief
labor organizations also disapproved
of any sysmpathetic strikes in other
quarters.
An extension of the railway strike
to take in the men employed in the
repair shops now brings the number of
strikers to approximately 10000 in
Berlin and 100000 throughout the
country. Mediation by the General
Manufacturers union is contemplated.
There is considerable unrest among
the Berlin postal and telegraph work
ers and it is considered strike is not
impossible. Some of these workers
already have quit work and others
are expected tc leave their posts Sat
urday,
Berlin's gas, electric and water sup
ply would be imperiled by strike Of
municipal workers and tramway service
would be crippled.
rEho Rar1ip hraDcr ar tho rail-
way union joined the ranks of the
railway union joined the ranks Of the
strikers. 1t was estimated that 1900
engine drivers now were striking.
Postal authorities are maintaining
aerial service for urgent mail and pas
senger purposes.
Efforts to maintain the milk and
food supplies for Berlin have failed.
The governments manifesto declar-
ing the strike illegal has aggravated
the situation.

HOUSE ACCEPTS
SENATE REFUND
BILL FEATURES
Measure Now Goes Up
to White House for
Presidents Signature.
For Negotiators Weeks,
Hoover, Watson, Long.
worth Are Suggested.

Washington, Feb. 3.-(By The As.
sociated Press).-Congress finally
cleared the way Friday for the open
ing of negotiations looking to the re-
funding of the eleven billion dollar
foreign debt.
The house, by an overwhelming ma
jority, agreed to the senate amend
ments to the refunding bill and the
measure was sent to the president. Mr..
Harding is expected to approve it, as
he did not press his objections to the
senate changes after he had discussed
them Friday. first with Chairman
Fordney, of the house ways and
means committee. and later with Sec
retary Mellon, who is to head the COM
, mission of five authorized to conduct
the negotiations with the debtor ma
tions.
Appointment of the other four COM
missioners by the executive is looked
for within a short time. 1t was made
known Friday at the White House that
President Harding planned to name
two members Of the cabinet and
member each of the senate and house.
Among those gossip connects with the
appointments are Secretaries Hoover
and Weeks, Senator Watson. OF In
diana, and Representative Longworth,
Of Ohio.
Operation Involves Allied TangIe
While plans for conducting the ne
gotiations with the debtor nations have
not yet been formulated, it was said
Friday in informed quarters that they
probably would be conducted both IN
This country and abroad. There has
been some discussion Of a general
conference of representatives of the
United States and the principal allied
powers to discuss the whole subject
Of the war debts of those <36tions::
Those favoring this plan have argued
that it was not to be expected that the
debts owed to the United States could
be refunded without reference to the
debts owed among allied powers them
selves.
Great Britain advanced to its do
minions and allies including France
and Italy. approximately nine and one
half billion dollars. while France
loaned nearly three billion dollars to its
allies. principally Russia and Italy.
AS finally enacted, the debt-refund-
ing bill was unsatisfactory both to the
administration and republican leaders OF
the house, but it was said tha< obJec-
tions to it were not pressed.
Chief objection centerd on the SEN
ate amendment requiring that the re-
funded obligations mature not later
than June Is, 1947, and that the
minimum interest rate be 4A per cent.

used to sit on rocky peninsula that
ran out into a water-filled quarry.
Visitors were In the habit of throw
ing buns into the water and some Of
them fioated on the surface 1t was
often easy for the bear to collect half
a dozen by plunging into the pool, but
he soon discovered more interesting
way to get them. AT the edge Of the

that brought the buns ashore.
