DR.. A. o. Henderson, president of

Two Per Cent Reduction
In Personnel Demanded

Washington, June 23.-(N-A re-
duction of at least two per cent in
the number of federal employees next
year was demanded by Director Lord
Of the Budget, with the approval of
President Coolidge, in an address to
department heads at the semi-annual
budget meeting.
Such slash in the federal person
mel would mean saving of $4,000
600 next year, Mr.. Lord said, and
constitutes the chief departmental
problem in the presidents policy of
Constructive economy"
The task can be accomplished, the
budget chief explained, without the
discharge Of an employee but by the
expedient of not filling vacancies.
The number of vacancies in the civil
service total about nine per cent of
the entire personnel each year.
On April 30 this year there were
246,419 executive civil service en-
ployes, exclusive Of the postal people,
Mr.. Lord said, reduction Of 1920
during President Coolidge's admin
stration as compared to CSC, 1872 EN-
ployes on the pay rolls on Armistice
Day. November IL, 1913.
The Presidents program of expen-
ditures for the next two fiscal years,
the director said, meant there must
be the closest scrutiny of every
expenditure.
! eve must make each. dollar sweat
he said.

ECO NO MY is
WATCHW0RD OF
THE PRESIDENT
Executive Declines, However,
to Raise Hopes of Fur
Their Tax Relief

Washington. June 23.-tP)-"A
treasury surplus of $500, 100000 for
the fiscal year, ending June 30" was
predicted by President Coolidge but
he withheld promise of early tax
reduction pending test of program
of constructive economy which he
said should net SURPRISES also for
the next two years.
Addressing the semi-annual budget
meeting, Mr.. Coolidge estimated that
the next fiscal year. beginning July
1, should be closed with a surplus
of $185, 100000 on the basis Of present
estimates of receipts and expendi-
lures, and the following year with a
margin of $2O.O0O,O00.
ut would be unfortunate to raise
hopes of further tax relief" he con-
tinued, until we are sure that the
state OF our finances justifies it.
There is no such surety today. Bust
ness was quick to anticipate the last
tax reduction. 1t was justified in
this time might be to encourage bust
ness to anticipate again, as it did in
1925, further tax reduction. This
might have a detrimental effect upon
the sterilization of the country under
the present tax law"
Reduction Of Personnel Urged
Facing the necessity Of public
improvements such as the recently
authorized buildings program, the
president said. the government could
|, not expect an "appreciable reduction"
in total annual expenses, and he pro-
posed therefore gradual reduction
in personnel.
1T is very easy to have too many
people on the pay roll" he said. 1.-THE
. reductions which have been made in
personnel show no detrimental effect
upon our results. Rather has it
seemed to improve the efficiency Of
the service. l am encouraged in the
thought we can have further reduc-
ton of personnel without discharging
a single person, by the simple device
of not filling all the vacancies that
| occur. This would not operate in
the summary separation Of anyone
from the federal service"
Debt reduction also was cmpha-
sized by Mr.. Coolidge as an essen
tial element in. constructive economy.
!. Every dollar applied to the debt
saves at least four cents q year in
interest to the people of this and
coming generations, he said.
Local Government Expensive
The president again repr0ached the
| state and local governments for their
increasd expenses, warning it was
fraught with grave consequences. In
1921, he said. the cost of all govern
ment in this country was $780,
100000, of which federal expenditure
constituted almost 60 per cent. In
1925 the cost Of all government had
increased to $11,500, 0O0, 900 of which
only q per cent was represented by
federal expenditure.
While expenditures Of the federal
government probably will reach 3d.
Mr.. Coolidge expressed hope the fol-
lowing year could be concluded at a
cost of $4,000, 600. 900 exclusive of the
postal service and tax refunds.
