By Associated l-rvss
Washington, Dec. L—The campaign
k>r government ownership of poetofflce
nuildings throughout the country was
renewed by Postmaster General Work
in his annual report to Congress.
Not only would a policy of public
ownership relieve the governmeat of
much of its present bousing conges

It would «l»o make for financial econ-

HARDING PRESENTS i
BUDGET TO CONGRESS
By A—edited Presa
Washington/ Dec. 4.—President Har-
ding. in transmitting the annual fed-
eral budget for the next fiscal year,
frakly told congress today that wha-
ther there was to be any matertol re-
duction in governmeat expenditures
and ia taxes in future years, would De-
pend largely on whether there wee ta
be a curtailment or expansion ot fed-
eral aid in lines of research, improve
meat and development.
Placing the estimated governmeat
outlay in 1924 at $3,180,842,234, a de-
crease of about $500,000,000 as com-
pared with estimates for this fiscal
year, Mr. Harding called attention that
two-thirds of this total was on account
of practically fixed charges, such aa
the public debt, national defense, pen-
sions, world war allowances and fed-
eral aid. There was left, he said, only
about one billion dollars in charges
subject to administrative control and
against which, he added, the retrnech-
ment policy of the government had
been directed.
While expressing the opinion that
some further reduction undoubtedly
would result from a reorganization ot
borrow money at seven per cent, and government establishments on a more
