HARDING SEES LONG

Unfortified Canadian Border
Proof World Is Growing Bet
ter, President Writes
DEDICATE PACIFIC PORTAL
Ily tho Assoclnfrd II ess
Washington. Sept. 3. An unforti
fied boundary line more t.-.an three
thousand miles long between the United
States and Canada is the best testimony
that the world grows wiser nnd better.
President Harding said in a letter to
day to be rend at the dedication of n
peace portal erected near Illalnc,
Wnsh., in commemoration of more thnn
n century of uninterrupted peace be
tween America nifd Great Hrltain.
The portal, to be dedicated Sep
tember (I on the International line? wns
contrived by Samuel Hill, of Seattle.
In rrencnltinn nf the sicnificnncc of till!
occasion, the President wrote Mr. Hill
tpmnle to .Innus. n dispenser of pence
and war, and ordered that its gntes
should never be closrd while the nation
was at war. In seven centuries they
are said to have been closed but three
times. You have erected a temple of
peace, whose gates arc nccr to be
closed save in war. Already it stands
for more than a century of unbroken
pence between Hritnin and America,
nnd we nil Join In the hope that in
coming times it may commrmnrnte an
era of prace much longer thnn the
period of wnts for which the Temple of
.Tnnlis stood.
"Our century and more of peace with
the Hritish Kmpire. our relations of
iinbinkcn amity with Canada, the fnct
that a boundary lino more than .'1(1(10
miles long remains unfortified these
are tho testimonies that the world
grows wiser and better. All mankind
looks to this example, jenrns to fol
low it, and wp are justified In believing
that a time is at hand when it may
takp it long step in that direction. On
the occasion of dedication of the Pacific
peace portal. 1 wish to convey to ou
personally my hijli appreciation of jour
patriotic service in providing a sym
bolic shrine to international pence, nnd
in doing so I would also thank tho
Pacific Highway Association (the
builder of the rortal) for the line co
operation it has rendered."

"CUT TO THE BONE"
TO LOWER TAX RATE,
MAYOR TELLS AIDES
Orders Department Heads to
Practice "Strictost Economy"
in Preparing Budgets
VARE MEN SEE THREAT
OF MANY JOB LOSSES
Mayor Moore today ordered "itriotest
economy" in thp preparation of nil de
partmental budgets so next jenr's tax
rate may be lowered.
Ho also notified his directors and dctand telegraph companies, it Is under-
pnrtmrnt bends, that they were to con
slder themselves nt liberty tn abolish
surplus jobs, wherever such cuts would
not Intcrefcre with the Administration's
constructive work.
Mayor Moore wrotp his letter yester
day, before leaving town for the holi
day week-end at his Island Heights
summer home. It wns kept secret until
today, however, 'when, nt the Mayor's
direction, It was spnt to every depart
ment by Robert II. Harper, the Mnjor's
chief clerk.
The letter was brief and to the point.
It follows:
"In the preparation of the budget of
your department, the strictest economy
should bo preserved. It is possible that
some appropriations can be cut nnd that
certain employes may be found not
needed.
"You ore urged to carefully scan all
estimates, so that the budget, when
"r7,"tr t0 the Council, win repre-
m'ui it genuine entieiivor on too pun in
the Administration lo locr expenses
.ind to reduce the tax rate.
"Cut to the Hone," Mayor Suggests
"In short, It is expected that if j-ou
can cut, without interfering with con
structive work or thp big ns well ns the
routine undertakings of the Adminis
tration, you will cut tn the bone."
The Mayor's letter Is considered by
his friends a practical answer to as
sertions inncle by some of the Vnro
members of Council recently that taxes
shou'd be cut next year.
Some time ago "Charlie" Hall. Vare
floor leader in Council, nnd bops of
"the Seventh Ward, said he believed the
tax rate could be reduced 30 cents
next .venr.
.lust it few days ,ago Joseph P. Gaff
ney, another Vare leader iu Council,
wrnt Hall one better and suggested
the tax rate should 1p cut fill cents
next jenr. The Major, In his letter
to his directors, points the wny to n
practical accomplishment of this, pur
pose, by enjoining economy nHalnng
tho line, ,,.
IThe Major's letter meant mftrc than
tills, however, to thct. Vare politicians,
many of smaller fry among them holders
of snug berths In the departments, pro
tected by the civil service law, and
n constant source of danger to the Ad
ministration. To these men the letter held n threat
of dismissal. To them the suggestion
that "certain employes may be found
not needed ""tind an ominous sound. It
mennt to them the directors. If thpj
chose, could sweep out their depart
ments by the simple expedient of fnil
ing to recommend sa'arles for them
next year.
Can ICIimlnato Jobs In Itudget
In this manner Vnre adherents, now
socurel) ensconced In the departments,
safe so lony as they are not caught tail
ing an active part in politics, could be
swept out without violation of the Civil
Service Law. Though a man may not
bo removed without cause, it Is not
necessary
im'cpssii ry to get the Civil Service
Hoard's approval to dispense with a
position when inakins up next jear'i
budgi r.
Whether or not this special signifi
cance is to bo read into the letter, th"
Vare uicn are the more certain that it
is aimed at their hidden power in City
Hull departments, because nf Its Is
suance on the eve. of the primaries,
Hudgi't blanks already arc in the
hands of tho directors, and must be re
turned to Minor Moore not later than
' September 10, so that he can begin the
arduous work of making up tae com
pleto budget for next jenr.
The date set for the ictiirn of dp.
liarlmonlal estimates conies but ten
days before the September primary,
which will be held this jenr on Septem
ber -0. The budget for the city's en
tire expense next year most be trans
mitted to Council by the Mayor not
later than October lii.

Washington, Sept. .1. The telephone
stood here, will fight the bill of Post
master General Hays for giving com
plete control nf radio telegraph nnd
telephone communications to the Post
office Department.
Their representatives privately de
nounce Robert H. Howell, of Omaha,
whom Mr. Hays is sending to Kurope
to Investigate the distribution of news
by radio telephones, as n Government
ownership man and a dreamer.
The plan which will emerge from the
Government reorganization which con
centrates the use oi all wire telephony
by the t'nited States Government in
the Postoffice Department Is regarded
by the present companies with n cer
tain nnxlety ns a step taken toward
tho erection of the Postofffec Depart

mated, will snvp the Government

To put it broadly, any move of the
Government to occupy a part of the
field now occupied by the private wire
companies, It is feared, nienns sooner
or Inter the revival of the plans dear to
the heart of virtually every Postmaster
General since John Wanamaker, the
ownership and operation of all the
means of communication.
United Stales nt Disadvantage
A new impetus toward Government
control hns. been given by the recent
communications congress in Washing

United Stntcs was at n disadvantage

reason of its inability to undertake any
