been sent to each of the departments,
with request that orders issue which
will require that the outline be kept up
to date (Appendix No. 81. This will not
only make available at all times the in
formation needed by congress or the
administration when called for, and as
sist materially in the preparation of
estimates of appropriations, but will
make unnecessary the publication Of
proximately $45, 900 for each issue.
Conclusion.
In submitting these reports, with
recommendations, I will state that in
my opinion each of the foregoing rec
concentrations, if acted on, will con-
tribute largely to increase efficiency.
Directly and indirectly the changes
proposed will result in the saving of
many millions of dollars OF public.
funds. This will leave the congress free
to determine whether the amount thus
saved shall be utilized to reduce taxa
ton or to provide funds with which to
extend activities already carried on and
to enter on beneficial projects which
otherwise could not be undertaken for
lack of funds. 81.
Again I urge upon the congress the
desirability of providing whatever
funds can be used effectively to carry
forward with all possible vigor the
work now well begun. The 100000 re-
uuired for the prosecution Of the in
curry during the ensuing year, and the
$4,000 estimated for the publication Of
results, are inconsiderable in compari-
son with the economies which can be
realized.

JOHN 6ROWDER REPlMANDED BY

Because he struck Mrs. Gertrude
Whennan twice in the same place on
the jaw in little alteration yester-
day morning, John Browder, a youth
about 10 years Of age, was given a
good talking to- together with sus-
pended ten day Jail sentence by Judge
Hendershott this morning. The WON.
all had Browder arrested for assault
and battery.
The trouble started yesterday
morning and ended yesterday
afternoon. Browder went over to a
neighbours house. next door to the
Whennan home. He was watching
two little boys playing marbles in
the Whennan yard. Mrs. Whennan
told him to beat it and Browder step.
ped over into the adjoining yard.
What Judge Hendershott called 'beau'
tiful language followed. Words flew
across the yard line and finally the
two principals came together in
clinch. Browder admitted that he
struck the woman but asserted that
he was not going to stand still and
let her pull his hair. Judge Hender-
shott told him that he had no right to
strike woman. Young Browder
agreed with him but said hair pulling
caused him to lose his temper. The
youngth agreed to stay off Of the
Whennan cellar door and the court
agreed to let the matter drop at that.

Of the treasury, of the post office, OF

merce and labor In my message SUD-
mitted to the congress on January 1
I referred to the loss occasioned to the
government because of the fact mat
in many cases two persons are palo
for doing work that could easily De
done by one In the meantime nave
caused an inquiry to be made as 10
the amount in money of this loss. The
results of this inquiry are that the
loss amounts to at least $10,0OO,OO0
annually For example, it appears that
q very substantial economy would re.
suit from putting experienced and
trained officers in charge of the first
and second class postoffices instead or
selecting the postmasters in accord
ance with the present practice. AS the
annual operating expenses OF the flrst
and second class offices aggregate the
enormous sum of more than $80,OOO,-
0OO undoubtedly if the postmasters or
these offices were embraced in the
classified service, and required to de-
vote all their time to the public serv-
ice. the annual savings would eventu-
ally represent many millions OF dol
lars. The savings in salaries alone, not
taking into account any saving due to
Increased efficiency of operation,
would amount to about $4,5OO,O0O. AT
the present time the salaries of post
masters of the first and second class
amount to $6.076,9O0, while the sal
aries of assistant postmasters Of the
same classes amount to S2,82O,OO0. II
the position Of postmaster were placed
in the classified service and those off,
GERS were given salaries equal to 20
per cent more than the salaries now
given to the assistant postmasters, the
latter position being no longer re-
quired, there would be a saving in SAL
aries to the government of s4,512,9O0.
In the case Of postmasters at offices

ing could be made.
Pension Agencies. ....-.
An annual saving of nearly $4,000
could be made if the position OF
pension agent were placed in the
classified service, since the work now
done by a pension agent at q salary
of $4,000 and chief clerk at
a salary ranging between $l.4O0
and $2,250 could easily be done
by one person in the perma-
nent classified service at salary
varying from $1,000 to $4,000. Greater
economy and efficiency would result
from the abolition of the pension
agencies and from the adoption of a
plan in accordance with which pen
sions would be paid by the pension
office in Washington.
60, District Land Offices.
T. What is true in the matter of pay
ment of pensions is also true IN the
service under the general land office.
The field service Of this, once could
be more efficiently and economically
operated if. 1t were provided by law
that the office of receiver of district
land offices be abolished and the du.
ties transferred to the register, assist
ed by a bonded clerk, and the register
placed in the classified service. 1t has
several times been estimated that
more than 100000 would be saved
annually and the efficiency of the SER
vice greatly increased by the adoption
of such plan.

follow a transfer of such Offices to the

Other Loca! Offices.
In the other field services the saw
ing which would result from the class.
ification of the local Offices under the
department is not as marked or
probably capable of as exact estlma-
ton as nthose mentioned, but there
is no doubt that substantial savings
would follow. 1t is not to be doubted
that where no saving would result
the classification of the local officers
would increase the efficiency Of the
service 1t would be desirable, also,
to place all marshals, deputy marshals
and assistant attorneys in the class
flied service, although but little direct
economy would result! Supervising in
