One ; of the greatest cuts in expense is that of his own" traveling bills. The ap propriations made by the last Con gress were based upon the estimates furnished by the former chief exec utive. Up to date President Hard ing has saved over one-third of the allowances made for traveling ex penses. One of the first things Pres ident Harding did when coming into ;efic was to purchase .large auto ' mobile for his private use, upon the ground that he did not feel at liberty to use the government automobile at government expense when he took trips for his own pleasure. " According to report just issued . by the Treasury department the ac tual expenses of the executive offices for July and August, this year, were $91,803 less than for the correspond .. big months last year.; For simplicity and economy, ' the "White House, under tha present ad- ministration, sets the world's record.
