II plans now being worked out at the
Navy Department n1aterialize. The
bureau of ordnance, II was learned
today, contemplates taking several
obsolete ships to the target range and
using them for targets moving at full
speed. There would. OF course, be no
c-'ews aboard the target ships, which
would be steered by an electrical
distant controls system, probably
from an aeroplane or another vessel.
In this manner,S;it was pointed out,

Smoke screens would be, interposed
between the target and the fleet to
simulate destroyer smoke screen.
Ordnance officers believe the expert
ment will provide the gunners with
the most valuable target practice
system ever used by any navy.
Heretofore no effort has been
made to use moving ships as targets.

siders an Interesting Experiment
The Spokesman Review yesterday
published the following timely COM
ment on the proposed legislation in
this state recommended in Governor
Davis message with view to the
more economical conduct of the COM
monwealth's business:
eff the Idaho legislature passes
Governor Davis state cabinet bill, it
will have committed the state to one
of the most interesting experiments
of its kind that has been made in
recent years. 1t is an experiment
which other states in all parts of
the country would watch with close
attention, because it would be aimed
at the elimination of a condition that
almost any commonwealth would be
glad to do away with.
"The new Idaho governor finds that
there has grown up at Boise a long
list of ommissionerships boards and
bureaus, all appointive, to attend to
various phases of state affair. These
have been added to the machinery of
government one or two at time,
by different legislatures and gov
errors, until there is not enough Of
flee room for them all. No office or
bureau, once created, has ever been
abolished, for that is the way with
public jobs.
Governor Davis wants to create
cabinet of nine commissioners, under
whom would be nonsalaried advisory
boards. The commissioners and the
boards would take over the duties of
all the present functionaries, and
would be responsible, under the gov
ernor, for all the miscellaneous adj
tasks of the state.
GAS the Lewiston Tribune points
out, the test to be applied to the plan
is whether it actually will eliminate
useless offices and simplify the
of state government. If
it does not, then there is no reason
for going through the form of reor
ganization But if it can be shown
that a cabinet will make the govern
ment of Idaho more compact, eco
nomical and efficient, there should
be no difficulty inducing the legisla-
ture to give it trial"
