DANIELS SYSTEM WOULD GIVE
sONUs TO NEWS PAPER
REPORTER If HE GOT scooPED

WASHINGTON, Feb. CT am
deeply interested in this new humani-
tartan policy of Secretary Daniels,
who believes officers who lose ships
should be rewarded said Harry A.
Ford of Cleveland in an interview in
the Washington Post. Mr.. Ford was
referring to the awarding of a dis.
tinguished service medal by Secre.
tary Daniels to his brother-in-law
though the latter lost his ship.
1T occurs to me that if we are go.
ing to carry out this policy to its
logical conclusion and bring it into
other big organizations we will have
a marked change in conditions. For
example, I suppose the railroads will
now issue an order setting aside spe-
cial purses for switchmen who fail,
through no fault of their own, in pre-
venting smash-ups. If after the trains
crash through not getting proper sig.
nails it can be shown that the switch
man was mot directly to blame and
felt sorry and behaved we'll after.
ward, he will be in line for special
reward
Likewise the fireman who fails to
reach the scene of the fire or the
policeman who fails to catch the
burglar should be rewarded as mat
ter of policy, and this fact should be
advertised in advance something like
this: ANY policeman : who fails to
catch robber and can show that it
was not his fault will hereafter get
$1,000 reward
I'm the army it would work pro-
gressively. The captain would be re-
warded for losing his company, if he
could show that it was not his fault,
and would then become a colonel.
The colonel, to secure promotion,
would lose his regiment, and then the
brigadier, if he lost his entire COM
mand and could show that it was no
fault of his, would take over the
whole command
"And l suppose you newspaper men
all get special bonuses every time
you fall down on a story OF are
scooped. It's a queer world.'

JACK DEMPSEY is
ASKED PERTINENT
and LIVE QUESTIONS

NEW YORK-Jack Dempsey, cham
pion heavyweight prize fighter, whose
non-participation in the war has been
criticised, is to be afforded an oppor-
tunity to defend himself before a
self-constituted court of 1000 wound
ed American fighting men, now in
United States general hospital No.
Al, at Fox Hills, Staten Island With
a view to passing impartial Judgment
upon the answers Dempsey may
make to a QUESTIONABLE containing
fifteen questions, the wounded sol
diers and sailors, through Lieutenant
Arthur Robinson, 10th infantry, 2Sth
division, A. E. F., have sent to the
pugilist letter inclosing the ques-
tionnaire, the answer to each Of
whose questions is to count certain
number Of points. Some of the ques-
tions follow:
How much time did you actually
spend in the shipyards, and how
much money did you earn in the
prize ring while the American boys
in France were busy fighting and dy-
ing? How did you manage to get in
the shipyards? If assisted or advised
by anybody, say whom.
Should you, or should you not, be
described as a patriotic parasite?
"Was there any reason why you
should not have volunteered for front
line service, assuming that you had
genuine desire to serve your coun-
try?
AS TO PENALTY
rs there any reason why those
who failed to do their duty during
the war should not. suffer fair and
reasonable penalty now, just as those
who did active service in France and
were wounded are proudly serving
the penalty of permanent disabili-
ties?
Do you or do you not believe that.
in strict and fair sense, one who
did not do his full duty during the
war is not only a Stacker, but
traitor as we'll?
"In the event of another war would
you advise the young fellows of this
country to do what you did or to do
what the wounded men in this hospi-
tai gladly did?
Define the following words: Self
respect, patriotism, citizenship. obli-
cation, honor, decency.
What was the Lusftania?
Where is Belgium? France?
What is rivet?
Did you ever drive one?
Describe the interior of a ship
yard. a.
Give one reason why one who
failed to do his full duty during the
war is entitled to the sympathy and
consideration of the American pub.
lis"
The letter concludes:
Pending the receiept of your an
swer' the action which is contem.
plated here will be deferred. Upon
receipt of an answer which satisfac.
torlly replies to the QUESTIONABLE. I
snail send you the Endorsement which
you seem to desire. so much.
I'm the event that your answer is
not satisfactory, an organization will
be effected which will take up with
the state department and the gov
ernnor and legislature of each state
the matter of preventing you from
boxing before the public in their re-
spective states. In addition to this.

which fought Germany will also be

During December the force was re-
duced 5000 in one department, butt
was simultaneously increased by al
like number in another, the census.
And SO it goes. ~ :
An orgie of departmental extrava-|
gance unparalleled in the country'sI
history has existed and still exists at|
Washington. Administration estimatest
reveal no serious endeavor or dispo.
sition on the part of officials toward
retrenchment, or a putting on OF the
brakes.
AS an example Of the prodigalityE
with which public money is expended
aye, wasted d-Chairman Homer Sny
der, Republican, of the house COM
mittee on Indian affairs, charges that
the Indian bureau, under it's present.
commissioner, Cato Sells, Democrat,
has inexplicably expanded and devel-
oped its activities until it's payroll isl
now swollen to 5000 employees andE
the annual appropriations have in
creased from $9,47O,OOO in 1913 toE
$15,482,000 in 1919, and the commits
sioner actually asked for SIT ,OOOE
for 1920-21. During these seven years
the number of Indians has diminished
largely. Chairman Snyder charges
that Commissioner Sells administra-
tion of the bureau has unnecessarily
cost Uncle Sam $4O,0OO,OOO.
The war risk insurance bureau,
housed in the largest newly construct
ed building at Washington, erected
regardless Of cost, has on its PAYROLL
over $4,000 employees. It's work has
not functioned satisfactorily. Errors
and delays have produced almost con-
tinuous complaint and outcry. Con-
flict Of authority has made the mess
all the worse. To remedy this and
save public money, Senator Reed
Smoot, Republican, a member of the
senate committee on finance, has in
troduced bill to abolish this collos-
sal war risk insurance bureau and
apportion its work among other agen-
cies of the government doing similar
work. His measure offers a simpli-
fed plan that will make for efficiency
and obviate complications that have
hitherto so seriously handicapped and
retarded the work. It is estimated
that $7,773,62O can, also, thus be
saved annually in reducing the c1eri-
cal force by 6,15O, or about one-half.
Senator Smoot's measure has the
warm approval of all who are familiar
with the wasteful methods now in
| vogue.
A budget system that will put gov
ernmental affairs on a sounder and
more business-like basis is one of the
reforms insured by the present Re-
publican congress.
