POOR MANAGEMENT.

The utter helplessness of the DEM
ocratic administration in handling
government finances in anything like
businesslike manner has engen-
dered more criticism and disgust than
perhaps any other single feature of
its activities. 1t founder around like
a blind horse in bog. 1t is APPARENT
that the Republicans will have TO be-
gin in 1917 to rebuild from the ground
up.
For the past two weeks our cap and
bells secretary of the navy has been
cavorting over the vaudeville boards
blowing soapbubble schemes for econ
omy. He had a plan to economize in
the building of battleships which the
navy department publicity bureau
promptly advertised over the country.
1t looked fine to the average Demo-
cratic office holder whose ability 10
figger' is limited to checking up his
monthly salary, but as the Providence
Journal tersely expressed it, it con
templates little more than a rear
rangement of the red lines in the led
ger There will not be enough real
economy effected TO keep in repair q
submarine of the Daniels type, nc
small amount, by the way.
Recently our first lord of the ad-
miralty announced that 1872 employees
of the Washington navy yard were
to have s cents day clipped from
their wages, giving as the reason an
act of the Democratic congress which
makes it necessary for the govern
ment to increase the wages of 900
employees at the naval proving grounds
at Indian Head. Some more Peter
and Paul financing.
In 1912, at the request of the
congressional naval committee, a Re-
publican secretary of the navy ap-
pointed board consisting of three
naval officers and three mechanics
from the Washington navy yard to
investigate the cost of living and
wages paid at Washington and vari-
Gus cities designated as in its vicinity.
The board found that 10 per cent
increase was justified and included
Indian Head in its finding, as being
in the vicinity. The incoming Demo-
cratic secretary Of the navy recon-
mended the sum of $4,000 as suffi-
cient to cover the increase, and threw
out Indian Head because it was not
represented on the board. This sum
was appropriated by congress for the
fiscal years 1914 and 1915, and in the
latter year the report of the naval
committee made it mandatory that the
Indian Head employees receive equal
benefit with those of the yard at
Washington.
1t is this action of the committee
which Secretary Daniels blames for.
the present dilemma. Mr.. N. p.
Atlas. president Of the association Of
