One of the reforms which the
Republicans promise to accom-
plish, and to which there should
be no opposition, is the reduction
in the number of Government
employees. There are now ap-
proximately 74O,O 900 persons on
the Government pay rolls,
against 100000 before the war.
At least half of the increase
should be Topped off. There are
so many Department clerks in
Washington that they get in
each others way, and many of
them find it hard to discover suf-
ficient duties to make any re-
spectacle pretense of work. Of
course, a great deal of additional
work is entaiIed by some of the
postwar measures-the collec-
ton of new taxes for instance
but there is no occasion for keep
ing Is, 900 clerks in Washington,
when there were only $4,000 be-
fore the war, and 100. 900 at the
busiest time during the war.
