PEOPLE NOT GETTING MONEYS
WORTH FROM THEIR TAXATION"

New York. Dec. 15.-People do not get
their moneys worth out Of the three
billion dollars annually expended for
public purposes, declared Prof Thomas
Sewau Adams. of Yale university, be-
fore the Association of Life Insurance
presidents, today in advocating the Gre
alton Of standard units of governmental
performance by which to measure the
quality and quantity OF the output in
each department of public work
Next to their remOrseless increase.
the most general characteristic Of pub
lie expenditures is the waste which they
involve IN most city and state govern
Iuents there are some departments
which overlap, while others are en-
gagged in work which is no longer
necessary Government employees as q
rule work neither so long nor so earn
estly as those in private employment
Supplies and equipment are not pur-
chased to advantage. nor properly
charged and checked when distributed;
specifications for bids are loosely or
carelessly drawn in many cases; labor
saving devices are slowly and some
times reluctantly introduced. Above all
there is not the same incentive or re-
ward for economy in public as In pri-
vate enterprise.
The fundamental trouble is that the
certaining whether a particular activ-
lty of government is productive or
unproductive. efficient or inefficient
We must somehow devise standard
units Of governmental performance, by
which to measure the quality and guam
tity of the output in each department
Of public work.

Courtney's Record
With Cornell Crews

Charles Courtney, coach Of the
Cornell crews since 1880, who
retires this year, has a remark
able record. Since the forma-
ton Of the intercollegiate Row
ing Association In 1895 he has
sent, excluding yesterdays en-
trants, fifty-nine crews to the
line, and he has had thirty-nine
of them return to the boat
house victors. That Is, in var
sity, junior, and freshman
races.
Courtney's crews hold every rec
ord on the river. On July 2,
1901, the varsity eight drove
it's shell across the finish line
In 10 minutes So 1-5 seconds.
The only time 1t was threat
ened was in 1908, when another
Cornell crew slashed down the
course in 10 minutes IS sec
onds. The record for the fresh
man race was made in 1909,
the Ithaca cubs covering the
two miles in 8 minutes II 3-5
seconds. The discontinued race
Of two miles for varsity fours
is another Cornell record, made
July 2, 1909, 10 minutes 1 sec
ond. Last year the Cornell
junior varsity raced over the
two miles in 10 minutes 1-5
second, breaking It's own rec
ord, established in 1914, when
the first race for junior Fights

Cornell's winning streak in the annual
intercollegiate rowing regatta was
broken by the Syracuse eight In the

rough going than Cornell. which finished
second. Columbia was third and Penn
last. The winners time was 2O:l5: q
Syracuse took the lead early in the
race. Cornell was close up until the last
mile. however. Then the big Orange
crew developed a burst of speed that
sent the Syracuse she'll shooting ahead
until II was two full boat lengths ahead
at the finish line. The order OF the three
contenders did not shift much during
columbia was length and a half be-
hind Cornell at the finish and the
Pennsylvania she'll was far back.
Syracuse won the first event of the
three cornered regatta also. taking the
junior eight-oared over a two-mile
course In ii 10 2-5. The junior event was
not as fast as had been expected. but
ing from behind in the last half mile
passing Cornell and finally crossing the
finish mark good length ahead of
Cornell and with Columbia trailing
Cornell, while Pennsylvania was a poor
fourth In the wake of the Columbia
shell.
The freshman race. which was first
postponed to Monday and then was
planned to follow the varsity event. was
postponed on account OF darkness. II
