for u. y. business.
Government bureaus during the war
had close contact with the business
organization of the country. That
experience revealed the modern need
of reorganization along purely bust
ness lines. The advantages OF de-
mocracy in. government need not be
recounted. It has been held by ex-
perts that it involves the dlsad-
vantage of disbursements. authorized
by the law-making power without
sufficient knowledge Of the need Of
the service or the possibilities OF ex-
travagance. The answer to this is
the budget system. No successful
business enterprise OF any size can
operate without it. For a hundred
years the federal unit, and the states
as well, made appropriations without
determining the difference between de-
partment need and caprice at the same
time paying little attention to the re-
pense. Many Of the states have adopt
ed a budget system, and with sue
cess that carries no exception. Eff
cheney has been improved-depart-
mental responsibility has been cent
tered. and economies have been eff
fected The same can be done by the
federal government. The system will
reveal at once as it did in the states,
a vast surplusage of employees. 1t
awakens individual interest, encour-
ages greater cuoIl d Qu gives OppOT-
tunity for talent to assert itself The
normal course of least resistance de-
yelops in government bureaus a hard
pan. which retards progress. When
the reorganization is made pay should
he commensurate with service. Many
federal departments whose ramifica-
tons touch the country generally
have lost valuable men ito business
This has badly crippled post offices,

branches.

Fall Prey to Many
Designing Persons,

Without home or community ties,
many have been more or less nomadic,

turnover. which has perplexed manu-

Unfamiliar with law, having no un-
Outstanding of the principles of our
government. they have fallen an easy
prey to unpatriotic and designing
persons. Public opinion has no in
f1uence upon them. because they have
been isolated from the currents Of
opinion, all due to their not being
able to read or write our language.
1t is the duty of the federal govern
ment to stimulate. the work of Amer

governments and industry itself. In
the past many industries that have
suffered from chronic restlessness
have been the chief contributors to
their own troubles. The foreigner

was welcomed. but too often no at

domestic ideals. for the simple reason
that it adversely affected the ledger.
