T|LSON TO WORK
TO CUT EXPENSES
Will Cooperate With Cool
idge by Keeping Appropria-
tions Way Down.

In his effort to keep down govern
mental expenses. as the only means of
avoiding a possible deficit because of
| the tremendous reduction in taxes.
President Coolidge is to have the sup
! port Of the House, if Representative
Tilson of Connecticut. Republican
| leader, has anything to do with it.
| Mr.. Tilson is anxious to see Con
| gress fall in line with the President s
| desires, and from now on he intends
to use all his influence as floor leader
to keep down appropriations. In his
| opinion, any substantial increase in
| appropriations within the next year or
| so will most certainly result in a
deficit.
In a statement issued by Mr. Til
| son last night, he declared Congress
will place itself in an embarrassing
| position if it fails to recognize this
! limit which has been placed on ex-
| penditures.
COnfers With Coolidge.
Mr.. Tilson's announced determine
| ton to cooperate with the President
in his policy of economy was made
| after conference yesterday at the
White House with President Coolii.se.
Mr.. Coolidge insists that inasmuch
as Congress passed q tax reduction
amount the Treasury figured the
revenues for the next year would per.
init, 1t should be just as ready to
| trim down appropriations and to do
| everything possible to avoid reckless
| and unnecessary spending of the
| peoples money.
( Mr.. Tilson talked with other Re
| publican leaders and some of the
| Democratic leaders. He spread the
! gospel Of economy among individual
members with whom he came in con-
tact. lie then followed these move
ments with public statement on the
| subject, which follows, in part:
1T is not at all certain that the
/ Government can be operated during
| the next several years on the amount
| or revenue to be raised by the tax
| bill. as enacted, even if no increa ses
are made in the present expenditures.
Deficit Feared.
If any substantial increase in ex-
| penditureS is made a deficit will GER
tainly be the result
IF the Congress declines to pass
| measures which would create deficit
/ think the legislative branch of the
| Government will be commended by
| the country in general. and if Con.
gress should pass such measures |
think the President will be entirely
| justified in vetoing them"
| Aside from the regular appropria-
| ton bills, several of which already
| have passed the House, there are
numerous special appropriation meas
ures,- such as those for the building OF
public roads. for which S75. 900 900 is
l. proposed: the rivers and harbors bill
| which carries an appropriation of
| SOC, 900 900; pension increase bills. and
a score of others of varying amounts,
but of possible equal Importance. 1t
| is these bills which Mr.. Tilson hopes
to keep down.
| 1t is his idea to keep the regular
supply bills within the amounts es-
timated by the Budget Bureau and to
| pass only such other appropriation
bills as are essential

SEES RETIREMENT
LAW REVISION SOON
Senator StanfieId Declares
More Liberal Provisions
Likely This Session.

Prospect of enacting a more liberal
retirement law for Government EN-
ployes before Congress adjourns was
declared to be bright last night by
Senator Stantield of Oregon, chair
man of the subcommittee in charge of
the question in the Senate.
Senator Stanfield said he hoped to
receive the report of the actuaries as
TO the cost of the various plans under
consideration some time this week,
after which there will be no delay in
getting bill in shape to be reported
out.
Features Accepted.
1t il understood the subcommittee
already has agreed TO the administra'
tive features of the bill and will mere
~ have TO shape up the computing
sections after the figures of the ac-
tuaries are received
That the maximum annuity will
lie increased to $1,000 a year seems
practically assured. The age limits
at which employees may retire after
80 years of service is a question to
be settled after the cost figures are
available, but the present belief is
that they will be 58. 60 and 90 years,
according to the character of work
performed.
Another question TO De determined
upon receipt of the figures is
whether the committee should use
$500 as the maximum salary in
computing annuties, with As as the
divisor or $500 with 40 as the
divisor Present indication are that
the last mentioned combination may
be agreed upon.
1t is reported that the new legiSla-
fion will provide for continuing until
932 the provision of existing law
allowing department heads to grant
extensions Of time beyond retirement
age to valuable employees.

REINDEER GROW FAST.
Group of Animals Will Double in
Number Every Three Years.

Except by hunters of the wild caribou
and other game, the lichen moss that
covers thousands of square miles of
the tundras, or treelesS plains, of
Alaska has been considered an all but
useless growth. But the tundra moss
is hay and grain to the domesticated
reindeer. and reindeer flesh is highly
edible.
In consequence, vast areas in Alaska
and northern Canada may become,
like the Arctic stretches of northern
Europe and Siberia, grazing lands for
a new meat supply. With the rapid
disappearance of cattle and sheep
pasturage in the United States, under
pressue of a growing population, this
potential new meat supply from the
North-reindeer herds double every
three years and feed themselves
through all kinds of weather-becomes
a matter of Worldwide Importance.

MCCarI Defines Term ION
Duty" fer Injured Fire
men and Policemen.

Additional restrictions are to be
placed on expenditures from the
police and firemen'S relief fund, under
decision of Controller General Nc
Carl, disclosed last night, which will
allow payments only for disability re-
ceived or contracted in the actual dis
charge of duty
The decision grew out of several
cases which were questioned by the
controller general, since they were
based on the theory that a policeman
or fireman was on duty "A hours
day.
The vouchers in question were al
lowed, but the controller general
ruled that hereafter expenditures
from the fund will be strictly limited
to the new Interpretation of the law.
Among the payments allowed by Nc
Carl after being questioned were one
for services to fireman in connec-
ton with an injured hip" and special
list and hospital services rendered in
connection with the following classes
of disability. certified as incurred in
line Of duty: Acute gladstone collie de-
fective vision. result of tOXemia, kid
ney trouble, inguinal hernia, append
citiS pneumonia. infected hand, sep
tic Infection acute appendicitis, tumOr
of neck. tuEor of hand, suspected APP
pendicitiS and tonsilectomy.
Source of the Fund.
The relief fund. it was shown, Is
largely derived from deductions from
pay. fines upon members OF tle
Police and Fire Departments, rewards,
gifts, donations. and other sources,
with any deficiency being made up
out of District of Columbia general
revenue appropriated by Congress.
This sum is not to be confused, it
was pointed out a the District
Building, with that fund maintained
by the Police Relief Association
which is separate.
