MADDEN RAPS
SYSTEM OF US.
Too Many Branches Sap.
ping Life Out of Trunk
Of Government

TOO many branches are sappipg
the life out of the trunk of the
government system and the tax
payers are called upon to supply
new sap to keep the trunk alive
and carry the rotten branches"
said Representative Martin B. Mad
den, of Illinois. in the House, dis
cussing his resolution providing for
a joint Congressional Committee to
investigate and to recommend a re-
organization of the administrative
departments of the government.
Il think there Is a growing feel
ing throughout the country that the
governmental departments are top
heavy and going to seed" he said.
Asked whether his measure would
work out on the plan proposed in
the Jones-Reavis measure, creating
a Department Of Public Works to
include all engineering and con-
struction features of the govern
ment service, Madden replied that
this plan would be considered as .
part of the general organization.
The proposed reorganization, he
said, Is an outgrowth of the ma
tional budget system, provision for
which Is contained in a bill already
passed by both houses of Congress
and now being considered by a con-
ference committee.
"A budget system is the first es-
sential," he said, "and a reorganiza-
tion Of the departments is a neces-
sary correlation of governmental
activities under the budget"

COAL OUTPUT
RUNNING SHORT
Bituminous Production Is
Per Cent Less Than Pres
ent Demands.

Bituminous coal production now
is running short approximately g.
100000 tons a week or about rs per
cent under the present demands, ac-
cording to reports to the U. s. Geo.
logical Survey.
Railroad car shortage is blamed
for the short coal production. The
outlaw railroad strike still is re-
sponsible for a great part of the car
shortage, officials said yesterday.
Strike Far from Settlement.
The strike is retarding traffic in
a considerable degree" said Chair
man Kendall of the car service sec
ton American Railway Association.
The strike is far from settlement"
Terminal crews now are from 10
to As per cent short in many cities,
according to Kendall.
Coal shortage is having a serious
effect on operation of mills through
out Ohio and Indiana, according to
, reports received here.
Would Link Up Power Plants.
Thirty million tons of coal can be
saved annually under the proposal
which has been made to link up
electric power stations throughout
the Eastern States in one big power
system. Nathan C. Grover of the In
terror Department said yesterday.
Grover plans to conduct for the
Interior Department a survey of the
cost Of establishing a single inter-
communicating electric power sys-
! tenn.
Might Lower H. C. L.
"The big saving of coal involved
probably would make all coal prices
cheaper throughout the country" he
said. 1T would relieve the rail-
roads Of a large part of the heavy
coal traffic they now carry leaving
them free to carry an additional
load of food and other commodities.
This would reduce living costs very
materially.
Manufacturers in the Eastern
States between Boston and Wash
ington would probably be able to
get their power Is per cent cheaper
This also would. tend to lower
prices. Generation of power in cleo
trical units in a few big stations
is Tar more efficient than the present
plan of burning tons of coal in each
individual plant to manufacture
power for use there only. Under a
big intercommunicating system every
electrical generating plant would
carry a stated load and no more
power would be generated than
actually needed. Waste would be re-
duced to a minimum"

ASKS JOHNSON
ABOUT LEAGUE
Herbert Hoover in State
ment Says Californian
Ignores Question.

New York. May s.-Senator Hiram
johnson has gone on record as op-
posed to the league of nations, but
offers no constructive measure to
take its place, Herbert Hoover de-
clared in a statement here tonight
Senator johnson has not an
swered my question" Hoover said
referring to his statement yester-
day in which he demanded that the
Californian explain where he stood
on the league Of nations.
Emitted Smoke Screen Of Abuse.
Instead he has emitted a smoke
screen of personal abuse and quota
tfons which he attributed to me.
As a matter of fact these quota
tions have come from some one
else. 1 have never made or ap-
proved any of them.
Perhaps the Senator will correct
this misimpression. The Senator
apparently does not wish to say
yes or mo- as to whether the Eng
lish league as he calls 1t, Is the
covenant with the Lodge reserva-
tiOns- Does the Senator wish to
leave an imputation on the pa
trfotism OF the majority Of the Re-
publican Senators or myselfT'
Not Matter for Personalities.
~The league Is not. however, a
matter for trivial personalities. II
is AN issue upon which hangs the
moral and economic well being OF
the world from which the United
States. even IL we would, cannot
separate.
Tho Senator asks the American
people to make him President. He
states that he's consistently opposed
10 the pact as presented with the
reservations attached; that he
would welcome any real attempt lo
promote peace and that he has new
erfopposed a league to prevent wal
aTd reduce armament
Destructive Criticism Barred.
Will the Senator change his ex-
preston from I have never opposed
a league 70 I will support. a league
for this purpose? and will he state
what the construction of the league
IS to be, and where 1t viii diner
from the league with the reserva-
lions as agreed to by the majority
OF the Senate?
The Presidency Is an ONCE of
constructive leadership; the affairs
OF the nation cannot be conducted
by destructive criticism without al
tentative proposals. The voters
have right to know what the
senator's constructive alternatives
are before pledging their votes"
