Complete reformation of the ''ar-
chaic" system of auditing accounts in
the Federal establishment is under
serious consideration by the Controller
General of the United States, j. r.
McCarl, and influential leaders in Con-
Sress.
Already the first trial of a new sys.
tenn of pre- -audit-new to the Govern
ment. but old and established in busi-
ness Eractice-has met with surprising
success in part of the Veterans Bu-
reau. and soon may be extended far
to replace the old system now in use.
Director Frank T. Hines of the
Veterans Bureau announced today he
was so pleased with results achieved
in handling the entire soldiers bonus
problem under the new plan that he
was willing to recommend that it be
extended not only through his own
bureau, but throughout the entire
Government machine. He plans to
confer with McCarl soon on the Vet
Grams Bureau angle of the problem.
Pre-Audit System Revolutionary"
The pre-audit would revolutionize
the entire system of handling accounts
not only in Washington, but through
out the field services as we'll. 1t would
provide audit by McCarl's forces be-
it is known that many of the depart
mental and establishment chiefs would
welcome it, the possibility of stiff OPP
position to McCarl on the part of some
who have been fighting his policies at
every turn predicts a lively time
should the matter come to a head
A saving OF thousands of dollars
could easily be effected through the
establishment of a pre-audit, it is
claimed, by proponents of the plan,
and might result in the obliteration of
the whole structure of the present
dual administrative audit nov being
conducted by departments and estab-
lishments.
One of the greatest benefits claimed
for the pre-audit would be the in
creased facility with which accounts
would be settled with f1nality between
the Government and it's millions of
debtors and creditors.

ment, or receive money from the Gov
ernment, and later, unknown to them,
part Of the account would be disal-
lowed. Also. still unknown TO them,
the debt would stand as a charge
against them for years, without their
ever being notified.
Literally hundreds of cases are on
record in the files of the General
Accounting Office. where business
concerns had their first surprising
notice that they owed money to the
Government, from an old bill. when
in presenting a later account to the
Government they found that sharp
"set-off" had been made to cover the
old Indebtedness.
American Business Kicks"
Millions of dollars have been col
lected already by the General Ac-
counting Office in the check off
method of allowing no one to be paid
by the Government who owes money
to the Government. But this, 1t is
explained, has been an expensive sys-
tenn in itself, and is merely the best
method yet devised whereby old
debtors can best be checked up under
the old system.
American business has raised a tre
mendous kick against these methods,
it was pointed out today, and there

By National Press Service

Washington, D. C.-The COM
munist warfare against American
institutions and ideals has not ceas-
ed with the election, disastrous as
that was to the La Follette's social
1st third party cause. 1t is still be-
ing waged and with increasing vi
gor. During the last campaign the
republicans pointed out the fact that
the communists, socialists, and other
radicals supporting La Toilette had
sinister designs upon the institutions
of our country. The republicans
pointed out that communism stood
for everything that was unAmeri-
can, that it struck at the sanctity
of the home, that it would take
away the right for the wage Garner
to build himself home and even
to own it if he had built it, or to
own property; that it would take
the rights of education from his
children and would greatly dimin-
ish, if not destroy, his earning
power, thus bringing misery and suf-
fering to his wife and loved ones.
1t, was also pointed out that the
communists hated religion. The truth
of these statements has been most
forcefully confirmed by the state
ment of M. Zinovieff, head of the
Third International of Russia who,
from Moscow, on Christmas Day,
while admitting that the commun-
lists had gone ahead a little too
vigorously in their campaign against
religion and that they must here
after proceed more cautiously, said
they must go on. His exact language
was as follows:
1--WE shall pursue our attacks
on Almighty God in due time
and in an appropriate manner.
We are confident we shall sub
due Him in His empyrean. We
shall fight Him wherever He
hides Himself, but we must go
about such a question as init
religious propaganda more care
fully. Our campaign against God
and religion must be carried
out in pedagogic way, not by
violence or force"

Nation Saved Forty Million Dollars
Yearly

President Coolidge has adopted
the policy in enforcing his campaign
of economy, as promised to the peo-
pie, in calling the leaders of his
party as well as department chiefs
to the White House and personally
impressing on them the necessity of
what he himself has said, economy
and still more economy" Recently
when the chiefs of one bureau at
tempted in Congress to clog roll"
for larger appropriation than the
Coolidge budget had allowed he lost
no time in impressing on them that
repetition of this offense might
result in some vacancies. The fact
that at the head of the nation these
is man anxious to save millions
of the peoples money and yet fully
appreciate it that such savings can
only be made piece by piece has al
ready had the effect of curing and
dissipating many departmental day
dreams. As a result all departments
of the government are beginning to
reflect not perhaps willingly but
with little element of fear the
Presidents ambitions. Meanwhile his
basic rule is that with economy
there must be increased efficiency.
The cooperation of Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon, of course, is
genuine and originates within him
self. Announcement is now made
that the Treasury has reduced the
public debt by almost billion dol
lars within the last twelve months.
This makes on per cent basis
an addition saving of nearly $40,-
100000 year interest charges.
Quite "a saving of the peoples
money.

STATES LARGEST BANK SHOWS
TREND TOWARD PROSPERITY

More firmly entrenched than ever
in its enviable position as the larg-
est banking and fduciary institu-
ton in all New Jersey, the Fidelity
Union Trust Company of Newark
shows by its most recent statement
of condition that it has deposits of
$7S,S1S,331, and resources of $751;
099,55s.
1t also has in corporate and in
dividual trusts, which are held by its
trust department, more than $780,
100000, of which a considerable sum
is represented by the company's
recently established life insurance
trust plan. Under this plan anyone
who can deposit in trust with the
banking institution $4,000 or more
in cash or securities and is an in
surable risk can at once increase
his or her estate by 100 to 300 per
cent.
Thousands of corporations, firms
and individuals in Newark and its
surrounding towns, as well as in
other places throughout the State,
are served by this big banking in
stitution, and their total number
is being daily augmented. In adj
dition to its regular quarterly divi-
dend of per cent, the company re-
Gently declared an extra dividend of
10 per cent, and also gave boz
nus of per cent. of their annual
salaries to its more than 300 of

Speaking of general business, Mr..

ion that the country may look
forward with confidence to a period
of prosperity. With renewed faith,
he said, this confidence has been
steadily developing and with it bus
ness has expanded with increasing
speed. The tendency in money
rates, he said, is toward greater
firmness.

Horses Still Insurable

Although the incoming of the au-
tomobile is playing havoc with many
live stock insurance companies, the
Dublin Mutual Live Stock Insur-
ance Company is still alive and
quite active.
The report of the treasurer for
the past year, given at the annual
meeting on Saturday, shows that
the company has done a large
amount of business. During the past
year 1872 new horses were insured
which increased the company's valu-
alton $4,000, or 1000 more than
the preceding year. Between 1000
and 100 horses are under the pro-
lection of the company.
