House leaders have virtually aban doned plans for a six week's hot weather vacation. Instead they will try to put both the tariff and tax bills intd the senates bands by September 1. This admittedly means hard fast work, because of the magnitude of the two problems of revising the nation's internal revenue and customs laws. House and estate leaders agree that if .It is possible both bills must be handled in the special session. This means they must be in Harding's hands before December, when congress goes nto Its regular session.

Surplus of grand total receipts over grand total disbursements, $261,931,-77During the period at these reports the national gross debt has been reduced approximately to $1,000,000,000, or about 5 per cent, other treasury statements show. The figures indicate that for the first time since the war period the government has spent less than it took in, including borrowings. Under plans announced by Dawes no official, large or small, can spend more money than has been allotted of him"- without obtaining .consent Dawes and then of President IJarding. Dawes plans for cutting appropriations and building up a reserve fund were explained today to a meeting of his assistants at which Harding was present. Within a few days, said Dawes, the budget official of each department will be asked to submit a minimum estimate of the amount of money on which the department can get through the year. All money appropriated over and above thdt estimate Will be put Into the reserve fund. In order to spend more than the estimate, any official must first get permission of the budget director and then of the president. This will make ' each official, no matter how minor, In responsibility, directly responsible to the president of the United States for economy In his section, x It will be very difficult under this scheme to spend more money than estimated.

In Lively Discussion Washington Declaring that he had been Informed by the treasury that the federal reserve system had a surplus of about one billion dollars in Senator excess of all requirements, Smith, Democrat, of South Carolina, declared Friday in the senate that there should be an investigation of the rediscount rates maintained by the reserve board. Why should we have rediscount fates of 6 and 7 per cent when we have one billion dollars of unused gold? he asked. Charging that the federal reserve banks were calling 'loans and forcing farmers and business men into bankruptcy, although there was ample funds for commerce, the South Carolina senator declared this was the most monstrous showing ever made in the midst of the agricultural and business distress. Senator Smoot of Utah said there were two sides to this question." This is a world condition, he declared'. The trouble is that foreign countries cannot buy our agricultural and other products." ' . There is danger in the piling up of gold in America, he asserted, adding that there was too mttch gold here.

Two million railroad workers will bow to the edict of the United States railroad labor board and accept a 12 per cent wage cut, it was revealed Monday. Union representatives who have been meeting here for several days to accept or reject the $400,000,000 annual wage slash, will issue a statement agreeing that the membership of their organizations will work for less money, according to reliable lEformation. The acceptance of the reduction will be made under protest, however. The powerful rail unions are expected to tell the public that the cost of living has not decreased to such an extent as to justify a 12 per cent slash. In the same statement, whieh is now being prepared, the unions will demand that the working agreements between workers and railroad managements be kept intact. The railroad labor board ordered these' agreements, which provide 'for working conditions, overtime pay and other regulations, be abrogated end a new set drawn up July 1. Inability of workers and railroads to get together caused the board ito extend the time of formulating new agreements. The statement to be issued will demand that most of the old regulations be reenacted. The 1000 union representatives here worked all day Sunday and were prepared to work most of Monday. -Acceptance of the' cut is considered a victory for the conservative leadership of the rail unions. Votes taken by the rank and file of union members indicated they were ovewlielmjngly against working for less pay. ASKS KIDNAPPERS ARREST OF Socialists Demand Prosecution of Twin Falls Abductors Chicago Otto Branstetter, national secretary of the Socialist party, Monday announced that telegrams have been sent to Attorney General Daugh-rtGovernor Davis of Idaho and the Sheriff at Twin Falls, Idaho, demanding the arrest and punishment of the persons who kidnaped Mrs. Kate Richards OHare, Socialist lecturer, in Twin Falls last week. The telegram to Local papers re Daugherty reads: port kidnaping of Kate Richards OHare at Twin Falls Idaho. Crimes of this character perpetrated with the connivance of local officials were numerous and uniformly. unpunished during the last administration. The prominence of Mrs. O'Hare will make this crime of national interest and we desire to know what steps the department of justice will take to maintain law and order and uphold the rights of American citizens in Idaho." y, Motor Gig 'Burns San Francisco The , motor gig of Commander Percy W. Foote of the U. S. S. Salem burned to the . waters edge in San Francisco bay shortly before midnight Monday, severely burning the officer and two of the five men with. him. They were returning to the Salem from shore at the time. Commander Foote and the sailors jumped overboard from the gig when it started to burn and they were pick- ed up some time later by a boat from the U. S. S. Tennessee.
