HARD|NG'S IDEA
Of ECONOMY IS
NOT WELL TAKEN
Political Appointees in
Washington Squirm
Under Rigid Drive to
Reduce Expenses.

Washington. Especial correspond
ence)-Some OF the difficulties under
which President Harding labors in
his efforts to attain the highest degree
of economy in government service
were indicated by the small amount
OF applause he received from minor
government officials during his recent
address at the meeting of the Govern
ment business organization. President
Harding has not only urged economy
in his speeches but he has insisted
that it shall be put into practice. In
this he has the cordial cooperation
OF members of his cabinet and others
whom he has appointed to office. But
Government employees in general. most
of whom hold their positions under
the guarantees OF the Civil Service
Law and who do the actual spending
are, as rule, not in very hearty sym
pathy with vigorous economy policy.
There was no enthusiasm when the
President asserted that il would be
deemed good reason for dismissal il
any subordinate official went before
a Committee OF Congress and urged
an appropriation greater than that
which had been asked by the Execu-
tive himself speaking through the Bud
get Bureau.
But if the Presidents economy pro-
gram is not popular among some Of
ficials in Washington. it ought to meet
with a compensating heartiness OF ap-
proval ou, through the country where
people pay the taxes with which the
Federal Government is maintained.
President Harding has asked his
subordinates to do no more than he
has shown himself willing TO do. He
began his economy campaign by
making great reductions in the ex-
pense of the operation OF the White
House. His earnestness in the matter
is also demonstrated by the fact that
If he considered his own political in
terests. he would permit continued lar
ge governmental expenditures by
means of which he could be used in
the next campaign to help secure his
nomination and election. Instead OF
doing that, he has invited the antagon-
ism of government employees by cur
failing their expenditures. He must
look, therefore. not to a government
machine for his support in the next
campaign but to the people OF the

Complete Plans For
Big Storage Project
Swendsen Clears Way
For American Falls
Work

Boise.-Rec.amation Commission.
Warren G. Swendsen, returned last
week from Washington where he COM
pleted the final business OF having
the secretary of the interior sign the
contracts which assure the compile
ton OF the American Falls dam. The
difficulty OF the purchase or aequisi
ton of the Port Neuf bottoms belong
ing to the Bannock Indians has been
overcome by Secretary Work by put
ting that up to congress at the next
session. The secretary takes the stand
agreeing with Commissioner Swend-
sen that since Congress approved of
the American Falls dam it either did
OF the purchase OF the In
dian land or would necessarily ap-
prove of il at the next session.
Especially favorable contracts were
drawn for the settlers of this new
area. A portion OF the Minidoka exten-
sion is land that has never been en-
tered by settlers and when this area
is open to settlement ex-service men
will be given the preference for
month or more before the land is op-
en- to settlement by the general pub
lie. Arrangements were also made so
that the Sl.650.000 available at this
time which would revert to the gov
ernment July If not encumbered will
be utilized for the purchase of the
property being covered by the dam
and toward the payments to the Idaho
Power Company on their contract.

b0RAH IS SURE
To HAVE FIGHT
Field Already Cluttered
With Senatorial
Possibilities
Especially.


Pocatello.-Senator William f. Bo-
rah. announced regular" Republican
and first candidate in the field for the
Republican nomination for senator for
Idaho. will not be without opposition
next autumn when political guns
really begin to rumble. For already
half a dozen candidates are looming
over the horizon as potential oppon-
ents with some Of whom Borah is al
most certain to have to reckon when
he goes before the Republican conven-
ton next summer.
Heading the list OF those men,
toned is Governor Moore. who is ap-
parently growing in strength and pop
ularity every day. While il is prob
able that he may again seek the gov
ernorship. it is quite possible that he
may enter the arena against Senator
Borah. Governor Moore has behind
him the solid Republican organization
of Idaho and should he decide to be-
come candidate he can be reasonably
expected to give Borah a sharp COM
petition.
Cheney St. Clair of Idaho Falls, it
is strongly intimated, is already quite
definitely in the race. St. Clair. too,
is regular, and has the confidence OF
many Idaho Republicans. He is in
close touch with conditions in the east
ern part of the state and is actively be-
ing pushed by many friends In this
district.
Among northern Idaho possible en-
tries none is more frequently consid-
cred than Donald Callahan of Sho-
shone county who has established a
remarkable record in the state senate
during the two last sessions of the leg
islature. He is a speaker of unusual
ability, a gifted parliamentarian. and
man Of wide political and law max
ing experience.
Others mentioned here as possibili.
ties include A. H. Conner. attorney
general; Jess Hawley, of Boise; and
F. S. Randall, the latter of Lewiston
and a past member of the state SEN
ate.
Whatever may be the developments
of the next year. it Is freely predicted
here that Senator Borah will have real
opposition if he wins the nomination
next summer.
