Gu tting Government Red Tape.
Comnone.

President Roosevelt has appointed q
committee to investigate and report
on what changes are needed to plac e
the executive business of the Govern
ment upon the most efficient and eco.
nOmic basis. In other words, Presi-
dent Roosevelt wants to sever the i'm.
mense tangle of red.tape that is wound
round the business OF the Government.
Surely the committee appointed has
job before it in comparison with which
the job of stable.cleaning tackled by
Hercules sinks into insignifcance. II
the committee succeeds in its mission,
however, it will be entitled to the
thanks of the people. Uncle Sam is
entitled to better returns for his
money than he now gets from the
clerks and bureau officials who occupy
elegant suites and offices in the mag
nificent buildings in Washington.
The more red tape the President cuts
the better it will please the people who
are footing the bills.
