increased on an average OF more than
100 per cent. In order 10 overcome
this increased expense and with q
view OF giving the best possible serv.
ice to the public, slight increase or
charges for making abstracts Il con

.Iu the administrative branch also
great changes must take place The
functions of the departments should be
redistributed along common sense lines
and methods provided to standardize and
prevent duplication of effort. Further,
it is high time that government employ
ment be placed upon a proper level Tn
der the safeguard of civil service the
salaries must approximate those paid in
private employ. Today we are faced
with the fact that the majority of the
most efficient government employees leave
the service when they are becoming most
valuable The less useful remain. Many
millions of dollars could be saved to the
taxpayers by Reconsideration of the SER
vice, by the payment of adequate COM
pensation and by the rigid elimination of
those who fail to measure up to a high
standard. All of this also has been
called to the attention of the present
congress without result, and congress
only can authorize the remedy.

that if we are sustained by the people

BOSTON, Aug. 9-iFour men appar-

when the office of Charles Ponzi's Sc

They said they were interested in the
proposed new concern which Ponzi had
announced would be launched soon under
the name of the Charles Ponzi Co. They
were told that the new firm was not
yet accepting money but were permitted
to leave their names and addresses.
An announcement that Edwin l..
Pride, who is conducting an audit of
Ponzi s accounts in behalf of the fed
eral authorities, might make his report
soon, led Ponzi to announce that he
was considering paying off all of his OBJ

''Much has been said of late about good

have been said, and it is right that every

would be an unusual and much to be

that the object of our participation was
solely to defeat the military power of
