Charges Analysis Shows
Figures by Director of
Budget 'Deceptive.'
Denies Tax Reduction
Br Ttl. JtwKhitH I'm.
Washington, May 8 .stmt u demo
utic attacks were nude in the home
it-day on l lie rrrtort bv Director
Dawes of the budget bureau, trans-
utittcd to the appropriations com
mittee by Pieident Harding, setting
krth rrdnctiout in government ex
I endtturcs.
Kcprernt.une fUrns, Tennessee,
tanking democrat oi the committee,
who aked for specific information
in resolution, charged that careful
enalvsis of the report showed that
me figures were "plainly deceptive.
xnd that (hey had been "nuitipulated
in an effort to mislead the public
into me hriici tint oine economy
had been effected by the administra
tion.' Joining in the attack. Rci-rcsruta-
five Byrnes," democrat, South Caro-
. Ima. also a member of lit? appro
priation roniniittec," declared that if
the president had an opportunity
to examine the "itemized statement
of alleged saving constituting the
total of $136,0(10,000 he would dis
cover that it it pure bunk."
Saye Byrnt "Quibbling."
Defending the report, Kcpresenta
tiie Mondell, Wyoming, the rrpubli-
' can leader, asserted that A(r. Byrns,
Teniiescee, was "quibbling" as to de
tails of savings effected, and "that
some of the economies had resulted
tiite as much from the vigilance of
congress as from the activities of the
budget hiirtuii director."
Chairman Madden o(f the appro
priations committee said "somebody
had raised the question of the vera
city'' and that while Mr. Byrnes had
mentioned deficiency estimates for
this year of $447,000,000 it was a
fact only $12,000,000 of this total
could be attributed to the Harding
administration, the balance being a
hangover.
"It has been said that figures will
not lie, but every one knows that
they may be juggled, and even a cas
ual observation of the immense array
of figures submitted by the very
large accounting force of the bureau
of, the budget 'shows they have
been manipulated in an effort to mis
lead the public into the belief that
economy has been effected by the ad
ministration. In this connection it
should not be forgotten that the aft
propriations for the expenditures in
1921 were made by a republican con
gress. ,
No Reduction in Taxes. '
"The administration banks heavily
' on the crcdulty' oi the American
' people for a reduction of taxes as
the only test as to whether or not
mere nas Deen a reaucnoq in ex
penditures. The plain fact is thaX
there has been no reduction of taxes
by the congress except that of the
liitr triitM nnH the multimillionaires
of the country, The vast 'body of
taxpayers have been given no relict
whatever." ' ' . '
; "The director of the budget states
that only such reductions as are real
-savings and not postponed expendi
tures' are included in his general es
timate of savings,? said Mr. Byrnes,
South Carolina. "Conclusive evi
dence that this is not true, is con
tained in the fact that this claim in
alleged savings was first made pub
lee in July, 1921, and the largest
single savings was claimed for the
Treasury department amounting to
$30,343,143. On the same day a let
ter was addressed by the represen
tative of the budget bureau in the
Treasury department to the chiefs
of the various divisions, complaining
that in their responses to budget cir
cular No. 1. they had tiot saved
enough money, when an analysis
showed the total amount to be saved
from the bureaus in the Treasury de
partment amounted to but $2,000,000."

New Attack
Opened on
Tariff P
it ..
.Senator Walsh CsW1 .ait
Decision to Prove Pro
vision of Measure
Unconstitutional.
McCumber Defends Plai
S? Tfc AMaUM4 rrM.
Washington. May 8. An attack
on the flexible tariff lan proposed
by the senate finance committee on
the recommendation of President
Harding was launched in the senate
and in the course of the four-hour
debate, Chairman MrCumbcr. in
charge of the tariff bill, announced
that some of the objections raised to
the plan would be contidered by the
committee before final senate action
on it.
Senator Walsh, democrat, Mon
tana, opened the discussion with the
delivery of a prepared' address in
which he cited many authorities and
court decisions to support his argu
nient that the provisions were un
constitutional. Senators Underwood
of Alabama and Simmons of North
Carolina, the democratic leaders,
joined him, arguing that for the first
time in the history of the country,
it was proposed to protect the profits
of American manufacturers.
Defend Plan.
Chairman McCumber and Senator
Smoot of Utah, ranking republicans
on the finance committee, defended
the plan, the former insisting that if
the American producer raised his
price to an exorbitant figure it was
not contemplated that the .president
would increase tariff duties to protect
him. Senator Smoot expressed doubt
that the president would have to act
in more than one case out of a thou
sand and added that the rule laid
down under which he could act was
so plain that there was no doubt
about its constitutionality.
Senator Walsh told the senate that
the constitution specifically reserved
to congress the power to lay and
collect .taxes and import duties, and
that congress could not delegate this
authority. He also attacked the flex
ible plan on the ground that no pro
vision was made for judicial re
view of the president's action in
changing rates or classifications and
contended that the rule laid down
under which the president was to
act to "equalize conditions of com
petition in trade ' was so indefinite
that the president could take into
consideration many elements aside
from production costs." .
No Investigation Made.
In" this connection the speaker said
debate on the question had disclosed
the committee had made no investi
gation into the- relative cost Of pro
duction in this -country and abroad
but had been governed largely, it
not wholly, by prices of domestic
and foreign articles in the American
market. : . 1 . - '
Replying to Senator Walsh, Sena
tor McCumber said the president
would be authorized to take into
consideration every angle bearing on
the question and these factors might
include exchange, labor costs, freight
rates, export duties and laws' and
regulations in the country of origin
and any other matters attecting
equality in the markets of the United
States. v;
American manufacturers, he de
clared, "are (not much interested in
what an article costs abroad, but in
what it is being laid down for in
the American market." ;,

Gen. Wu Refuses to

to Quit Tientsin
Hostilities Against Victorious
Chinese Leader Started by
Military Governor of
Honan.
Hankow. May 8.-(By A. r.)-The
Pekiii-Hankow railway north of
Kwangshui has been cut. and it is re
ported that Chao Ti, military gov
ernor of the province of Honan, has
started hostilities against the forces
of Wu Pci-Fu.
Fishtins: was proreedinir yesterday
at Sinyang Chow, 100 miles north of
here, and some occurred yesterday
at Cheng Chow.
The above dispatch would indicate
that Wu Pei-l'u, while successful in
his campaign against the Manchurian
general, Chang Tso-Lin, in the vicin
ity of Pekm. was beine attacked from
the south. Chens: Chow, the north
ernmost point mentioned in the dis
patch, is- in rtonan province, aDoui
400 miles southwest of Pckin, on the
Fekin-Hankow railway.
Chao ft has been governor of Ho
nan since June, 1916.
Wu Ordered to Leave.
Tientsin. Mav 8. (By A. P.)
Gen. Wu Pci-Fu. who came to lien
tsin from Pekin in purprit of the
Manchurian aeneral, Chang Iso
Lin. was ordered yesterday by the
allied military commanders here to
leave the city, as his presence was
held to be in violation ot the iwi
protocol. He refused to leave on
the arround that he was the acting
governor Chihli province and would
remain as Jong as necessary lor nis
purposes.
The bridges between this city and
Taku, on the south side of the Hun
river estuary, were burned by the
retreating members of Chang Tso
Lin's armv. Two thousand of
Chang's soldiers were reported yes
tcrdav in Taneku. on the north side
of the river, where their demands to
convoy them to Mukden were fruit
less, no locomotives being available.
Freauent . attempts at - tclepnomc
communication with langku last
night were unsuccessful.
Should Wu accede to the allied ue-
mands .to leave he would have to
move back toward Pekin, as rail
communication to the cast and north
has been severed by the burning of
the bridges and a Japanese destroyer
preventing the dispatch ot nis
forces down the river in barges.
The situation, therefore, is that,
while Chang Tso-Lin had Uninter
rupted use of the Mukden railway
for two weeks during his offensive
operations, his pusuer is now unable
to use the road to complete his vic
tory. ' . .
A tug conveying the commander
of the British cruiser Curfew to this
city yesterday came between the hos
tile troops on river banks who are
firing continuously. The British gun
boat Marazion was down river to
convey the tug here.

Reed Urged
by Wilson
Declares in Letter to For
mer Governor. Demo
crats Should Re
pudiate Senator.
Refers to Him as Marplot
St. Louis, May 8. (By A. V.)
Rcfrrring to United States Senator
James A. Reed as a "marplot,"
former' President WiUon, in a letter
to former Gov. Lon V. Stephens,
asked the defeat of Missouri's senior
senator to "redeem the reputation"
of the democratic party.
It was Mr. Wilson's second letter
on the race for democratic nomina
tion for United States senator be
tween Mr. Reed and Breckenridge
l-ong. former third assistant secre
tary of state in the Wilson adminis
tration. '
The tetter, in reply To one by Mr.
Stephens, follows:
"My Dear Governor Stephens:
"Your letter of April 22d has grati
fied me, I am glad to be sustained
in my own judgment of Reed by
your closer knowledge of him, and I
shall hope and confidently expect to
see him repudiated by the democrats
at the primaries. Certainly Missouri
cannot afford to be represented by
such a marplot and it might check the
enthusiasm of democrats throughout
the country if their comrades in Mis
souri should not redeem the reputa
tion of the party by substituting for
Reed a -man of the true breed of
democratic principle. I am sure your
own great influence will contribute to
the desired and expected redemption.
Please accept assurance of my en
tire confidence ot the Missouri demo
crats and, believe me, with best
wishes,
"Sincerely votirs. (Signed)
"WOODROW WILSON."
In a letter last ucck to John C.
Hodgcn. a local lawyer, Mr. Wilson
asked Mr. Hodgen "not to complicate
the contest in Missouri by becoming
a candidate for the nomination."-
The primary is August 1.'
In his opening campaign address
Senator Reed defended his course
and asserted Mr. Wilson was the
"boy who is conducting the cam
paign in' Missouri for the other
side." v
t Senator Reed, when shown a copy
of the letter at a local hotel, read it
several times and said;
"I have no comment to make on
this at present." .

Lincoln. May 8 (Special Tele
gramsChancellor Samuel Avery
announced today that 24 emploes
on the university payroll this year
will not be drawing salaries next year
as a result of an economy campaigu
under way, due to culling university
appropriations by the special seion

burget system, which forces univer
sity authorities to estimate expendi
tures in advance.
A majority of those released by
the chancellor are minor instruction
men, laborers and only two of the six
major instructors, who have tendered
their resignations for one reason and
another, will not be replaced.
The chancellor stated tUat the ne
cessity of curtailing expenditures
had resulted in dissatisfaction from
certain of those released and others
whose departmental budgets have
been curtailed.
"Accordine to our budget f will
operate next year for $346,372.15 less
than we did this year ana naturany
there are some who feel injured,
the chancellor said.
Explains Big Car.
"One story told about me is that
one of the highest powered motor
cars in the country has been pur
chased by the regents and myself.
That car cost the state M) and was
purchased at the close of the war
after it had been used by the gov
ernment for demonstration purposes.
"they say the expense account
on trips I have made for the state are
enormous. I have vouchers to show
that for the last year and a half my
trips have cost the state $292."
The chancellor alro replied that
th: charce was true that several
thousands of dollars had been spent
for printing presses and linotype
machines to be used in vocational
traininar work. He. said the number
of students taking advantage of this
part of the work was dwindling, but
did not say the charge that there
were no students in the department
was true.

Appeal to Soviet Prlrgatn
to Accept Allied Memo
randum in Main Points
France Defines Stand
Paris. May l-(Bj A. P.)
"France." said high official ot the
government today, "will not rscog
nise the Russian soviet government
until the United States does.
"France has kept free hand In
this, matter, end it makes no differ,
ence what action the Genoa confer
ence may take." .
Genoa. May -(By A. P.)
Prime Minister Lloyd George of
Great Britain and Foreign Minister
Schanter of Italy addressed today a
strong appeal to the Russian repre- s
sentstives at the conference here,
urging them to accept the allied
memoMndum in its main points and '
promising Russia an international
loan, with the understanding that the
lending countries would thus provide
funds for the reconstruction of Rus
sia. The allies would claim the right to
make sure, however, that the money
loaned was actually inveated in the
work of reconstruction.
It was asserted thst altogether the
proposed loan would amount to 300,-'
000,000 gold fanes. It has been de-
dared the Russians were asking for
3,000.000.000 gold rubles, or 25 times
as much as the allies' offer.
Soviets Issue Statement
The Russian delegation had
previously issued a .statement de
nouncing the ehVrts it alleged France
and Belgium had made to wreck the
conference. The statement called at
tention to the fact that these powers.
which were predicting that Russia's
refusal to accept the memorandum
would break the conference up, had
not themselves signed the memoran
dum.
It will be impossible for Russia
to answer the allied memorandum
until it has found out exactly what
powers stand behind the document
and what real authority it has, M.
Lttvinoff of the Russian delegation
declared to the 'Associated Press
this afternoon.
Although the Italian parliament is
in session, Premier i-acta returned to
Genoa from Rome this morning, ac
companied by- Signor Bertoue, called
here by the gravity of the conference
situation.
