DEMOCRATIC laws
FOUND WANTING

Washington, D. c., Oct. 5.-Dem.
ocratic laws have been tried and
found wanting.
AS the time for Congress to re-
assemble approaches, this fact is he
ing gradually disclosed by the admin
istration itself. In nearly every De-
partment in Washington, government
oflclals are preparing amendments to
patch up defects in statutes. These
defects exist because the methods
followed in the enactment of the
statutes were slovenly and careless to
the last degree.
Another problem facing the admin
lstratlon, even more serious than that
OF defective laws. is that of the gov
ernment's finances. There has been
growing discrepancy between re-
ceipts and expenditures, creating
deficit in the treasury that must be
provided for.
government funds have been vast
ed, and a large proportion of this
waste is due to carelessness by the
Democratic Congress in handling an
propriations. Articles have hereto.

The order reducing the number of

100 clerks. These clerks will not lose
their positions. but will be transferred
to other work. The department con-
tends that it is the duty of the rail-
roads to do the physical labor in trans
ferring the mail pouches from one
train to another, and that much of this
labor is now being done by the mail
clerks.
The clerks are kept at the transfer
points merely to direct the transfer
Of the mail pouches. A few clerks at
the Washington terminal will be af-
fected by the order. it was said.
