EXPENSES CUT IN HALF IN THREE YEARS General Lord, Director of Budget, Tells How Economies Have Been Effected Expenses of the federal government have been cut in half since the budget was inaugurated three years ago and savings have been effected through teamwork and co-operation of the various federal departments, according to General H. M. Lord, director of the budget, in an address to the Merchants' Association at New York. In 1921, the last year free from budget control, the expenditures of the government were $5,115,927,689, and the next year, the first of budget control, this was reduced to less than $3,400,000,000. Finally by the end of June, 1924, the expenses had been cut to $3,048,000,000, only $48,000,000 more than the mark set by President Harding, who thought that annual expenditures ought to be reduced to three billion dollars. General Lord said, in part: "I am not making any rash promises, but with all things as they are, I am satisfied that we will end this year with a surplus in excess of $100,000,000, and we have estimated for the next fiscal year that we will end the year with a surplus of $373,000,000. If we can hold expenditures down and keep them down so that we can give you a $100,000,000 surplus this year, with the prospect of more than $300,000,000 next year, you will have an additional reduction in taxation." "I want to say the amount of reduction in expenditure directly due to executive pressure exerted through the bureau of the budget will always be a moot question and an idle one. The director of the budget never has made extravagant claims of allowance you of his right to enjoy the beauty spots of our Southland" is the text of an appeal being made to autoists planning picnic and outing trips. With prospects of a record touring season this year, motorists are asked to be mode considerate than ever of the many tourists and outing parties who will follow them on the highways. Many wonderful picnic and camping sites are shorn of their beauty and appeal each year by selfish parties that leave papers and luncheon refuse around or who denude a spot of its wild flowers, which are usually thrown away long before the car is back in its garage. Considering the many who will picnic or rest along the roads this coming season, motorists should preserve the beauty and charm of these grounds if only for their own future use. SALVAGING OLD MATERIAL REDUCES RAILROAD COSTS Manufacturing scraping knives from old shovels, conduit from discarded boiler tubes, wrapping twine from rope scrap, draw bars from steel axles and chisels from worn out files are a few of the many ways in which the Southern Pacific Company saves hundreds of thousands of dollars annually by salvaging obsolete and scrap materials and supplies. In announcing this yesterday A. S. McKelligon, general storekeeper for the company, stated that rigid economy is practiced by the railroad in salvaging used materials. Various machines and devices themselves constructed of salvaged material, have been invented by the company's employees to reclaim supplies which otherwise would be thrown away as useless. If we can hold expenditures down and keep them down so that we can give you a $100,000,000 surplus this year, with the prospect of more than $300,000,000 next year, you will have an additional reduction in taxation. "I want to say the amount of reduction in expenditure directly due to executive pressure exerted through the bureau of the budget will always be a moot question and an idle one. The director of the budget never has made extravagant claims of extraordinary savings on budget control. He has been content to point to falling expenditures and to the development of teamwork and the spread of the gospel of economy with efficiency through the federal service, gratified that he has had the opportunity to participate in this great and good work. But in the field of estimates he can point to definite achievements that admit of no challenge. DON'T CHEAT OTHERS "Don't cheat the motorist who foll- In announcing this yesterday A. S.

The senator is an ardent enthusiast of the Orange county harbor project and last fall, on the occasion of his visit, expressed his opinion that early development on an ample basis should be undertaken. He suggested that Orange county enter into a complete program to provide an operating unit and assured his hearers that once this was done and some business established, the federal government could no longer ignore the claim for financial cooperation and assistance. Senator Shortridge agrees with the solution of the entrance problem as announced by General Beach, the provision for an east jetty and a 600-foot entrance, and states that it agrees with the opinion he formed when making his tour of inspection on Newport bay. The Orange County Harbor Chamber of Commerce is planning for another visit on the part of Senator Shortridge and hopes to arrange for a large gathering for the occasion. RUPTURE EXPERT HERE F. H.
