GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURES REDUCED $1,600,000,000 ACCORDING REPORT DAWES Director of Budget and President Makes Report to Congress Today $900,000,000 Represents Actual Reduction in , Government Business Routine. (By Associated Presat WASHINGTON. May 8. Govern ment .expenditures for the fiscal year 1922 will ahow a reduction ol more than $1,600,000,000 from the actual ex penditures for the preceding fiscal year. 1921. congress was informed to day by President Harding in trans mitting the report ot Director Dawes of the budget on economies and sav ings In governmental business. Director Dawes estimated that gov ernment expenditures for' the current fiscal year which were given in tne December budget estimates as $3,967,- 922,366 will be at least $45,550,336 less, or approximately $3,922,372,030. As compared with 1921, he contin ued, there has been a reduction of $907,600,000 In expenditures for the operation ot the routine business of the government subject generally to executive control. Of this sum he at tributed $260,000,000 to the Imposition ot the executive plan and' pressure on the routine business organization of tho government under the new sys tem Inaugurated by the budget bu reau. The report of Director Dawes was submitted to the house appropriations committee by the president In connec tion with . a pending resolution by Representative Byrns, democrat Ten nessee, asking the president to In form the house In what ways direct savings of $32,000,000 and indirect savings ot $104,000,000, previously an nounced by the president as accom plished by the budget bureau daring Its first six months of operation, had been made. Director Dawes presented In detail with accompanying tables and state ments the comparative expenditures for the past and present fiscal years divided Into items representing those which were charged to executive con trol and others such as public debt and similar accounts which were con sidered as apart from the subject of routine government expenditure.' He also submitted exhaustive reports of the governmental savings accom plished through inter-departmental transfers of surplus supplies and other economy methods put into effect by the budget bureau, itemizing thou sands of transactions. Involving ships, shoes, sealing wax and all the many articles and commodities util ized by the government together with the amount of saving realized in each case. The budget director further report ed that the savings reserve against current appropriations of $112,000,000 set up by the departments and estab lished in August, 1921, In response to executive request, had been In creased, notwithstanding reappropria- tlons by congress of more man 0000,000 of this reserve for other pur poses, to the approximate sum or $136,000,000. Only such part of these reductions as are real savings and not postponed expenditures wore Included In the general estimate of savings, he added. As a still kreater reduction, Direc tor Dawes declared that the present estimated expenditures for 1922 for the operation of tbe routine business of the government, after eliminating expenditures of $7,500,000 authorized by congress after the submission oi the budget providing for representa tion of the United States at the Bra zilian centennial exposition, seed loans, and fulfillment of, the treaty with Colombia, as compared with the December budget estimates, snowed an excess of only $25,767,457 on a total of $1,758,375,672, or a discrep ancy of only about lhi per cent. The reiiort was described by Direc tor Dawes as an effort to determine what the rent savings of the govern ment had been during the current fis cal year. The bureau ofjho budget Is an im personal and non-partisan business agent," said Mr. Dawes. "In this par ticular report where Its estlmstes may become a basis of contention in an approaching political contest its fig ures should be conservative and meet the test of examination, not only In the present but in the future when ex isting partisan differences are forgot ten and the record for Impartiality and nonpartisanshlp of the budget bureau Is considered in retrospect by the unprejudiced mind ot the govern ment economist snd student "It will be noted that the director of the budget, out of total estimated expenditures of $3,922,372,030 for 1922, classifies only $1,765,875,672 as being generally subject to executive control In the operation of the routine business of government. These figures compare with actual expenditures un der the same categories In 1921 of $2, 673.435.079, segregated out of a total annual expenditure for 1921 of $., 638,040,689. The reduction in the or dinary expenditures for the operation of the routine business of government generally subject to executive control in 1922 as compared with 1921 will be, therefore. In the neighborhood ot $907,500,0000. "As aealnst this enormous total re duction the estimate of economies and savings incident to the new imposi tion of executive control over govern mental expenditures in 1922 is esti mated by the director ot the budget In this report at the leaser sum ol $250,134,835. He feels reasonably as sured that this estimate of economies and savings attributable to the new system is an underestimate, but that it effort had been made In this regard savings and economies are still so large as to vindicate It, and wiU at the same time emphasize the indis pensable policy of the budget bureau to have Its estimates conformable to the principles of . business conserva tism. "In these figures the director ot tha budget has -found it imoosslble to make any reliable estimate of soma indefinite general savings, s ueh a those incident to the corrected SyS- lOlU Ul UU1WHIHH WUM.U UNI MWU, " avoided. On the basis of the origins partments and establishments there have been eliminated, after due con sideration of the facts Involved in tha neighborhood of $150,000,000 claimed economies. ' . Mr. Dawes paid his respects to tha present "archaic system of govern mental accounting," declaring that the public can never be fully Informed . as to the baslness operation of tha government until It la reformed. He criticized particularly "the present . system of government accounting, which calls the loan of money to tha railroads an 'expense,' and the return of money loaned a 'receipt' Such operations," he said, "almostupset the estimated figures for this year to the extent ot about $393,000,000.'' "An accounting situation like this," he asserted, "might be regarded as humorous In a small business. It Is nothing short of a calamity in gov ernmental accounting." 0 ; Mrs. A yers Makes Short Stop Here Mrs. Z. Kathleen Ayres. driver of the Bntck four coupe, which this week broke the speed record in run ning time from San Francisco to Portland, passed through tbja city last evening on her return trip to San Francisco.
