The city is overrun with loafers,
white and bluck, and there are several

white man in his home by a hurley
negro a mass meeting was held at the
courthouse and money raised to buy
hioodtiouuds, the pool room was
dosed, the guilty negro was captured

CHANCE TO FIND OUT
Just bow a helmed effort is under
way ti find out some of the facts
about government business and gov
ernment employment. The Bureau of
the Budget has been organized and
is in operation under the direction of
Charles G. Dawes
Both houses of congress are work- ‘
ing on the problem of reclassification
of government positions and salaries.
Tia Veterans' bureau has been or
ganized and has taken over the bureau
of war risk insurance. Unit par’ of
the public health service which had
to do with veterans, and all of the
work of the federal board for voca
tional education except that part
which had to do with the treatment of
persons injured in the industries.
There is also the inquiry being made
by the joint committee on Uie re
organization of the administrative .
branch of the government of the two
house of congress, of which I have
spoken Walter F. Brown of Ohio Is
chairman of this committee, represent- ‘
lug President Harding. The members
of the committee are, on the part pf
the senate, Senators Smoot of Utah,
Harrison of Mississippi and Wads- I
worth of New York. The members on ;
tbe part of the bouse are Repre
sentatives lieavis of Nebraska. Temple
of Pennsylvania and Moore of Virginia
The job of this joint committee is
to “make a survey of the auministra
tlve services of the government for the
purpose of securing all pertinent facts
regarding their powers and duties
tlieir distribution among the several
executive departments, und the over
lapping and duplication of authority."
In reporting the resolution from the
judiciary committee to the bouse the
members were told :
It is a mailer of common knowledge
that millions of dollars are wasted by
Ute government by the aimoe: eudioee
duplication of activities TUere has been
no fundamental change In tbe adminis
trative acliviuee since the organization
was devised by Alexander Hamilton, and
the result is tliat activities entirely out
of harmony with the functions of depart- i
merits have grown with tbe passing years
until the government of the United States
has become not only the biggest business .
in tiie world, but the world s worst man
aged business
The purpose of the resolution is lo j
ascertain so far as possible the extent ‘
of tbe overlapping and duplication of ac- ,
tivltlee will’, tbe view that numerous :
commissions and bureaus may be elimi
nated and a great saving effected in Ine
governmental expenditures The commit
tee feels that nr more consiructfve .egia
latlon is possible under existing cond.-
tioue than the iegiaiaUor proponed by
the resolution With the present condi
tion of the nation's finances and trie bur- ■
dens th* peopre Buffer uecauae of esoea
sn* taxation any legislative measure
looking to real economy should commend
itself to the sympathetic attention of the
house and we feel that tbe paaaage of
this resolution and the work of the com
mittee which will be done under its au
thority wll result in lbw saving of mil
lions annually
It can be predicted with considerable
asgunibce that nothing wdl: come es
this proposed voyage of discovery un
less we Die shareholders in the enter
prise maintain at> active, lively sus
talned interest in it. One thing is al
ways true of the house of repre
sentatives—lt Is representative. Jf
we breathe warmly upon it. it glows
if we are Indifferent it becomes coid
This isn't the first time that a piai,
lias been se- in motion to find out
something about how the government s
business is conducted.
Tbe earliest inquiry into tbe ad
ministrative methods of the executive
departments was made by tbe Cockrell !
commission tn 1887 Six years later
in 1893, a joint commission, of whiei
Representative Dockery was chairman
was appointed to examine tbe status
of tbe laws organizing the depart
ments President Roosevelt In 190f>
named an interdepartmental committee,
of which C. H Keep, assistant secre
tary of tbe treasury was chairmaii to
consider department methods. Presi
dent Taft in turn, In 3910, named a
commiKgioh on economy and efficiency
of which Frederick Cleveland was
chairman.
Broadly and generally speaking
nothing came of these enterprises
Yob and I —commonly and vaguely
known us tbe public—were not in
tereated. and neither was congress
That ended it.
But just now. at this moment we
have the best chance we ever had to
find out about our common business
and how to improve it and lessen its
coat to ue The burden of supporting
it in heavier than ever before.

these articles that the Information !
