Secretary Gage took the lead in cutting
off the heads of officials who are not
needed. Large numbers of such officials
in the treasury department have been
dropped out and no harm to the SER
vices has resulted. Others who have
been doing almost nothing but receiving
large salaries have had their salaries re-
duced. The plan has operated so well
that the heads of all the other depart
ments are moving in the same direction.
There is no kind of doubt that reduc-
ton of one quarter Of the men in public
office would result to the benefit of the
public service.
