Edgar r. Kennard, Of san Francisco

that this sort of art production IS seen
in It's perfection only In China and
Japan. 1T is used for every purpose,

have the japanese carried their love for
the beautiful, enduring varnish that even
in some of the new Pacific steamships
which ply between Yokohama and san
Francisco the wood work of the tirst-
class cabins. the smoking saloons. and
the music rooms is incrusted in lacquer.
brilliantly decorated in gold and crimson,
and frequently carved in the highest style
of the Oriental art.
Americans made themselves the laugh
ing-stock In Japan and China when they
seriously discussed In the halls OF Con-
gress the possibility OF a japanese inva-
sion Of the Philippines. Hawaii. and the
Pacific Coast. II Is but natural that the
Japanese should feel proud Of being cred
tied with ability TO make serious trouble
for the United States. or even 10 annex
American territory. japan is not as big
as California. and is as poor as church
mouse To think that they ever intended
TO make trouble for the United States is
too absurd for serious discussion. Still

men like ex-Secretary shaw, Mr.. Schifr,

WASHINGTON. - The comprehen-
w sive economies in the executive
departments of the government which
the administration is seeking to ap-
ply. will penetrate to the remotest
sections of the country. Not only
is the work of the departments in
Washington being analyzed, but every
public Office in every state will receive
the same treatment. This will include
every mint, especially the big mint at
Philadelphia. every custom house. ev-
cry internal revenue office, every post
office and all other offices where the
public money is expended. The prom
ise was made by Senator Aldrich, dur
ing the tariff debates, that a saving
of from 25 to 40 per cent. is possible
and the administration Is aiming to
reach those figures.
This means that preparations are
being made to make many consolida-
tions where work heretofore has been
duplicated. In fact, some of these
consultations are accomplished al
ready. Also 1t means that the busi-
ness Of each borough and office is be-
ing scanned, all with view of in
creasing their efficiency and at the
same time reducing the cost. The ad-
ministration has gone far enough to
know that this can be done.
The work of investigation is under
The Colorado statesman., 1910-01-29
n Gets After the Loafers

. charge of Charles ID. Norton, assist
ant secretary of the treasury, who
handles the annual estimates for air
departments, and he has not yet ex-
amined a single public office without
finding faults to be cured and the ex-
pense to be cut off. The trouble lies
largely in an unnecessary number OF
employees and consequent system OF
loafing and shirking that would not
be tolerated in any private business.
Much of the investigation so far
made has been the personal work OF
Mr.. Norton. Thus In an office under
the treasurer of the United States he
found the work far behind and an ap-
plication for more employees on file.
Mr.. Norton went to this office at nine
in the morning, when business Is sup
posed to begin, and found 1t empty.
Presently few of the clerks arrived,
but 1t was ten o'clock before all OF
them were there and at work. AT
1880 some of them went out to lunch.
and 1t was 1870 before all of them
were again at their desks. Shortly
after four they begin to leave the
place, although the days work is not
supposed to be over until 4:3O. AT
that hour not soul remained In the
office.
After satisfying himself this was the
daily routine in the Office Mr.. Norton
sent for Charles H. Treat, then treas
urer, and exploded his bomb. He or
dered that instead of increasing the
force in that office 1t was to be re-
duced. This was done and the office
has SO increased in efficiency that 1t is
doing more work than it ever did be-
fore, and is fast catching up on its
back business.
