|ORGANlz TON IS
BOARDS PROBLEM
Substantial Progress Made BY Efic-
iency Commission il ear, Time
Similar Study Made IN Iowa.
ECONOMY IN TWO DIRECTIONS
One BY Saving Money IS simplify ing
Method and Other Holding Down
Expense BY 1nteli eent Budget.

St. Paul, July 16 Especial to the
Pioneer. One reason the Minnesota
efficiency commission n able to re-
port such substantial progress in less
than year is that It confined its
problem to one thing, the organiza-
ton of the state government.
A similar study was made in Iowa
by a Legislative committee, which
hired experts to work through the
year. They started with accounting
methods and Office system. They re-
ported that before anything effective
could be done it would be necessary
to organize the state government.
After that it would take two or three
years to work out the Office system.
Experts Engaged.
Experts engaged in North Dakota
reported almost identically the same
recommendations.
Minnesota had the good fortune
to start at the beginning. AS soon
as the legislature adopts the plan of
organization, the economy may fol-
low in two directions one saving
money by simplifying method, the
other holding down expense by in
telligent study of the budget.
Thirty Men Agree.
That is one reason minnesota has
got to point in less than a year
where thirty men have agreed on a
solution of their problem and a large
proportion of the public believes
theirs il the right answer. s.
The Other reason is that Minnesota
has been doing a good deal of work
in that direction. The whole state
has been crying for economy Mr..
Lee and others have been extremely
urgent for. economy on the stump.
Governor Eberhart devoted the bulk
!. \ s. i Ia = {
of two messages to discussion of the
problem. The legislature has been
moving in the direction of system
and thinking on 5thoaezli Ines, The com.
mittee on public accost1its in the last
legislature did a lot of work leading
in this direction and the agitation
for the public domain bill was right
on the same path.
Will Adopt Report. II
All that and great deal more was
by way of preparation and progress.
The efficiency commissions report,
a more definite piece of work, car
ries it a stage farther. And it ap-
pears that a large proportion of the
public and of their candidates is
ready to adopt the report. - =

him and he proved to all that his
knowledge of the needs and accom-
