Associated Pros*
Washington, July 20. An estimated
saving ol $112,512,028 can be effected
in the appropriations of approximately
four billion dollars available for gov-
ernment expenditures during the cur-
rent fiscal year. President Harding
was informed by Director of Budget
Dawes.
Included in the estimate of possible
saving, Director Dawes said was the
sunt of $22,822,112 pertaining to con-
tinuous appropriations for building
and construction which would be post-
poned for expenditures in future years.
The estimate of government econ-
omy possible during the present fiscal
year was contained in a letter direct-
ed to the President by Mr. Dawes, who
presented the amounts by which ex-
penditures could be reduced in the va-
rious departments and independent
establishments. Survey of possible
economies during the year was begun
several weeks ago by Director Dawes
using the budget machinery after a
meeting at, which department heads
and bureau chiefs had been directed
to reduce expenditures and adopt a
policy of economy and efficiency.
‘‘Whatever may be the relation of
total expenditure to total revenues, at
the end of the current year,” Director
Dawes said in his letter, “which for
various reasons, including possible
new legislation, the operations of the
shipping board, the railroad adminis-
tration and fluctuation in current' re-
ceipts of the postoffice department
can not be predicted at this time, the
above amount is that much of a con-
tribution to a more favorable relation.
‘‘This fine response to your request
from the heads of departments and
independent organizations and bureau
chiefs incidental to your assumption
of responsibility as the business head
of governmental administration, in-
fers the existence in their minds of
the principles involviug improve-
ment in government business." *
Estimated savings of the more im-
portant departments were listed by
Director Dawes aS follows:
State department, $1,171,982.
Treasury department, $30,342,149.
War risk bureau, $16,534,523.
War department, $15,000,000.
Navy department, $10,047,891.
Interior department, $19,827,191.
Department of agriculture, $1,687,-
802.
Postofflce department, $35,500.
Postal service, $14,920,421.
Department of commerce, $2,063,385.
Department of labor, $10,660.
Department of justice, $94,300.
Completion of the economy esti-
mates by the government organiza-
tions within three weeks was regard-
ed by Director Dowes as evidence of
increased efficiency. Work would be
begun at once by the budget bureau,
he added, on the budget for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1923, using the
new estimates of necessary expendi-
tures as a basis.

Austin, Texas, July 20. —The total
estimated taxable values of Texas for
1921 is $3,370,469,672, an increase over
the estimated valuations of 1920 of
$49,639,058, according to a statement
made today by Comptroller Smith for

which to fix the tax rate for the cur-
rent year.
Austin, Texas, July 20.—In a mes-
sage to the House today, Governor
Neff renewed his charges of extrava-
gance and grgft at the state capitol.
The governor gave no definite infor-
mation, but said he renewed every
charge made in his speeches. He said
he noticed where the speaker had
said “it was high time” that the per-
son making the charges substantiated
them, and he would gladly do so if
called upon; if not, he would go be-
fore his “constituents” and tell them
with “lips not padlocked.”
The chasm that has arisen between
the governor and the legislature was
widened considerably today when
Representative Williams of McLennan
county, on a point of personal privi-
lege, denounced the governor for crit-
icising the legislature in a speech that
followed the readiug of the governor’s
message to the house.
