In the pension bureau a substantial
reduction in the number of employees
has been effected, reducing the salary
outlay by S246,OOO. Through discon-

pension vouchers, $4,000 pensioners
have been directly benefited, saving
them approximately 100000 a year,
and through devising a simpler method
Of reporting pension payments to the
controller general another $50, 900 n
nually has been saved.
Similar examples may be found in
other bureaus of the interior depart
ment. In the Indian office an annual
saving Of SOS, 900 a year was effected
through reduction of force and alb
sorbing lost motion. In the bureau
of reclamation a survey of the Wash
ingtOn office resulted in an immediate
saving of about $4,000 annually, with
an additional reduction of about S18,-
900 a year to follow in the near flu
ture. In the wal minerals relief COM
mission another $25, 600 a year in
salaries was saved, besides increasing
the output to such an extent that 1t
is hoped to complete the work within
the next few months.
Economic use of the public funds
IS one of the problems confronting
the American people, and further cuts
in expenditures are expected to be put
in effect. The interior department
in its annual budget for the fisca
year Of 1925, has asked for S26,500,
600 less than was appropriated for The
fiscal year of 1924.
The nation is now standing on tn
