Since March 4. 1021. the lnited States has made more drastic reductions in pub lic expenditures and greater reduc tions in public taxes than any nation in the world. With the exception of possibly two ethers, it is the only na tion which has made any reductions in public expenditures and taxes. All this was done under a Repub lican administration.

Section S. anj then will follow the new huntr of press agent bunk doubtless to the effect that these stories of men com mitting suicide for love of the "be witching" screen star are all non sense and untrue. The public must be caught coming and going, and ev er)' twist and turn of opportunity cap italized by the publicity factories. It is amazing, however, how soon these cheap seekers of publicity crawl into their shells when they find the public resentful of their adver tised exploits. The Motion Picture Owners Association has barred Peg gy Joyce pictures from the srrepn in the interest of wholesome entertain ment. Hence the panic. The free advertising worked, was a source of gratification undoubtedly up to the time this blow fell, but as soon as the financial bump became known and the radio quickly spreads the word these days indignant denials of suicide stories began to fly through the ether, and seeming dignity took the place of complacent satisfaction. Thus there is presented to Will Hays a striking lesson which, if heeded, will lead to a complete re form in motion ricture press scent work. The great industry has been strangled by its press agents almost to the point of death. They have run riot for years, and seemingly they are still at the same old tricks. frotest has been made time and again to the motion picture produc ers, but all suggestion has fallen on deaf ears. The exploiters of both press and public have been practic ally running the motion picture in dustry without interference, and they have run it rrettv much into the tw i, u i.

It is time these conscienceless sensationalists were curbed and a great industry -be permitted to work out its destined place m the scheme of public hap piness and mental growth unhamper ed by such destructive influences. If a few more films that depend upon notoriety for success are barred from the screen, and the manufacturers face a few millions of dollars loss, perhaps they will then wake up to the fact that their spectacular press agents are an expensive luxury. Seemingly, nothing but an assault on the pocketbook will affect them. These figures are not euess work. They are taken from the books of the government. They are set down. item by item, even to the last penny m a report just made to Congress by the Director of the Budget. They answer conclusively and most em rhaticallv the charees of the Demo cratic party that Republican claims to puoiic economy are not based up on tact. UOine into details, the rennrt shows that the ordinary evnen.lituree for the operation of routine business conducted bv the executive aoennec Of the government amounted tn St? o;j,433.Uy during the fiscal year July l, 120, to June 31, 1921, dur ing nine months of which all the ex ecutive offices were filled with Dem ocrats. During the current fiscal year which ends lune 30. next, the ordin ary expenditures for the operation of me routine Dusiness conductetd by the executive agencies will be $1, 765.S75.672. During all this period these executive offices have been fill ed with Republicans. This is a direct and verv concrete savine of $907,559,407. which must be credited to the policies of the Re publican executives. All of these ex penditures are wholly subject to the control of the executive officers in charge of the several deoartments. i bureaus and commissions which made the expenditures. This saving of over $900,000,000 in the conduct of the executive agen cies is not as the Democrats ehnroe a "bookkeeping saving."

It is a saving which is set forth in the report of the Di rector of the Budget to the last de tails in dollars and cents. It is not imaginary; it is not "estimated;" it is there; it has been made; it is as concrete as a grindstone. The other $700,000,000 saved by this administration as compared with the expenditures during the last year of the Wilson administration is ac counted for larpelv bv the abolition of the United States Railroad Admin istration, the United States Grain Corcoration. the Supar RnnaliVarion Board and other war activities which the Republican Congress elected in 1918 made an end of as rapidly as possible. i This is a 100 per cent, plus, ful fillment of the 1920 campaign pledges of the Republican party to put "more business in government." , It is the first and most important step ; in the program of reconstruction.'
