THE PROPOSED BUSINESS
METHODS COMMISSION.

The Senate has been having an ami
mated discussion of the question of
creating a so-called business methods
commissiO,, consisting of members of
the Senate and House and members ap-
pointed by the Executive. for the pur-
pose of devising ways of simplifying
the Governments ways of doing bust
ness and econonizing them. Senator
Aldrich, chairman of the Finance Com
mittee, has strongly advocated the com
mission and has gone so far as to say
that If he were allowed to run the Gov
eminent he could save S3OO,OOO,OOO a
year. he thinks SIOO,OOOOOO a year
can be saved easily.
Senator Deliver looks on the com
mission as a blanket disparagement"
of the executive departments, and in
the light of what has been accomplish
ed by other Investigations, thinks the
proposed inquiry useless. He believes
there are no evils in the conduct of The
departments that cannot be corrected
by the executive branch of the Gov
eminent.
Senator Carter holds there is a con-
fused state of law and that we are
victims of bureaucratic advance to
power" and That "infnite duplication
occurs in the various departments of
the Government"
Now, it would be idle to say that
there Is not duplication OF that there is
MT need for the undermining Of meth
DDS in the conduct of much of the Gov
eminent business. And no earnest ef-
fort to effect genuine economy should
be hindered. But 1t will take some
thing more than speeches on the floor
or the appointment of blanket commits
sions to effect real reforms For years
the Senate leaders, of whom Mr.. Aldrict
is chief, have been showing up higher

license to spend money in the inquiry
and should keep a check on the appro-
priations for It; moreover, when the re-
port is made by the commission, a
serious attempt should be made to
carry into effect its recommendations,
if they appear meritorious, and these
recommendations should not be permit

Capitol where so many reports lie IN

COOPERATION IN BETTER
MENT OF THE DISTRICT.

The precedent established last night
in the hearing granted by the District
Commissioners to the representatives of
the various civic organizations should
prove to be a valuable one. The exccu-
tive officers Of the District government
have thus far shown a commendable
disposition 10 get into close touch with
the ideas of the representative citizeis
of Washington. and We take it for
granted that they viii continue to do
so.
The multitude Of propositions sub
mitted to the Commissioners as the
crying needs of this, that, or the other
section of the city suggests the possibil-
itv that such hearings in the future may
become practically worthless unless an
effort looking to cooperation is made
on the part of the various organiza-
tons.
As the situation stands today the
Commissioners lave before them in
Vulnerable recommendations for a great
variety of projects. It is quite appar-
ent that they cannot 90 before the com
mittees of Congress in support of each
and every proposition presented for
their consideration last night. As was
remarked by one Of the speakers, the
Treasury would be depleted if the citi-
zens of Washington got all they asked
for.
There are a number of Improvements
necessary in the District in which
every section Of the city should be in
terested, as, for instance, the reclama-
ton of the Anacostia fats, and the
elimination of alleys. We take it that
the new Commissioners are as interest
ed in these projects as were the late
executives. If the civic organizations
get together on these matters, Chen the
Commissioners can 90 before Congress
with the solid support Of the citizens of
Washington. 1t would do more harm
than good TO have them dump countless
recommendations into the District and
Appropriations Committees. Congress
will take care of street improvements
and the like, although not so fast, per-
haps. as could be desired.
The organizations in the various sec
tons of the city have a right, of course,
10 demand certain Improvements
Whether these demands are presented
in the first instance to the Commits
sioners or TO the proper committee OF
Congress seems unimportant. 1t is fol
the organization representing that par
ticular district to look after the legis-
lation which viii benefit that district.
We are of the opinion that on sucl
occasions as that of last night sectional
needs should be of secondary impor
lance. The improvements which would
benefit the city as a whole should b.
the first consideration. This can b.
brought about only by hearty co-opera
tion on the part of all of the citizens
associations. Harmony of that kinC
would strengthen the position of TIT
Commissioners in their recommends
tions to Congress. These meetings viii
the Commissioners, v HIGH We hope vii
become periodical. Should prove bene
fetal for the entire community if prop
erly conducted. Let US get together o.
