LANE SAYS TAPE
.Cl0GSGOvERNMENT
Fewer Men Of Larger Ability
Could Run Business Better; =,
Promote or Discharge"

The United states Government Is
too poorly organized In Washington
TO grapple successfully with the great
problems In It's hands, says the final
report OF Franklin X. Lane, retiring
after seven years service as Secretary
OF the Interior, which was rendered
TO the President yesterday
Characterizing the Capital as rich
in brains and character. the retiring
Cabinet officer declares his observa-
ton has been that ability Is pressed
to a point OF paralysis because OF an
infnitude of details and unwillingness
of the great body OF public servants
TO take responsibility.
Everyone seems to be afraid of
everyone" he states.
THE self-protective sense Is deyel-
oped abnormally. the creative sense
strophies. Trust, confidence, enthusi-
asm-these simple virtues of all great
businesses are the ones most lacking
in Government organization.
I'VE have so many checks and
brakes upon our work that our
progress does not keep pace with the
nations requirements. We could
save money for the Government IL we
had more discretion as to how we
should use that given u.s."
Lane ventures the opinion that
doubled salaries would be means
of bringing home to high administra-
tive officials the responsibility rest
ing with them.
For the body of civil servants,
he asserts. there should be a quicker
promotion or discharge and a sure
insurance when disability comes. For
the higher administrative officers
there should be salaries twice as high
as those now given and they should
be made to feel that they are the ones
responsible for the work OF the de-
partment; the head being merely an
adviser and a constructor OF policies. 4"
Adding emphasis 10 his assertion,
in effect. that too many details are
cluttering up Government machinery.
the retiring Secretary goes on to say
that "as matters are now devised

there are too few In the Government
whose business II Is TO plan"
Lane describes Washington as "a
combination OF political caucus. draw
ing room and civil service bureaus"
containing statesmen who are politi-
clans and politicians who are
not statesmen" But despite the
Capitals great wealth OF high
intelligence and character. and a
general aim TO be honest beyond any
commercial standard. the Californian
declares his opinion that fewer men,
but OF larger capacity. could conduct
Uncle Sans Government more eri-
ciently than now is the case.
Among recommendations MADE In
his report Secretary Lane urges that
a great national university be estab-
lished in Washington, In which would
be centralized the learning and In
telligence OF the nation.
II should be a university not fash
Toned and organized after the style OF
Harvard. Yale or Columbia, in which
the youth are taught, he says, but a
great heart for all the schools and
universities in the land In which the
thought OF America and the world
would lead,
One vital purpose OF the univer-
sity would be the quick dissemina-
ton to all parts of the country OF
the latest revelations in science ana
the newest methods in the arts, con.
Ing first hand from the master. A
few thousand dollars would make a
beginning for such an institution.
Lane declares, and he expresses the
hope that some day Congress will en-
able the Interior Department TO make
Washington the school center OF the
country.
While Federal control OF schools
would be curse, he says. because
the inevitable effect OF Federal con-
troll Is to standardize, Secretary Lane
points out that I'VE might perhaps d.
something less for our boys and
girls than we do for our hogs and
cotton without straining the Consti-
tuition or bankrupting the Treasury"
Touching on the Interior Depart
ment's activity in the war. Lane calls
particular attention to the American
invention OF noninfammable gas
"helium," the one product OF the war.
he states. the commercial future Of
which is assured. Commenting on
this invention, Lane declared: Had
the war lasted some time longer, diri-
gibles and blimps inflated with this
gas would have added a new terror to
the contest between the chemists OF
Germany and those Of America"

WOMEN START RUSH
TO Be ON VOTE LIST
Judge Shoemaker Promises
Leniency in Correcting
Misses" Of Assessors
HEARINGS NEXT FRIDAY

Five hundred women, seeking to have
their names placed on the assessors
lists so they could vote in November,
had their first contact with the machin
cry OF the courts today.
Judge Shoemaker, in digni6ed judi
cial robes, greeted the newly enfran
Chised electors in Common Pleas Court

Because of the large number Of wom-
en- who have petitioned to be placed on

il is estimated-Judge Shoemaker fixed
next Friday at 10 o'clock TO hear the
applications In the meantime Leopold
C. Glass, attorney for the Republican
city committee, is busy preparing the
petitions.
Court to BE Lenient
Judge Shoemaker. in an address from
the bench, indicated that the court
would be very lenient in its attitude to-
ward the petitions of the women.
The inclination of the court is to be
very liberal in this matter" he said,
ION account of the short time that has
elapsed between the ratification of the
nineteenth amendment and the necessity
for paying taxes"
Judge Shoemaker said that If the
petitions are sworn to and presented
in proper form and the assessor takes
upon himself the blame for not having
properly assessed the woman, that
would be considered q personal applica
tion. and it will not be necessary for
the person making the application to
appear in court, but IL there is con
test, then the petitioner must appear in
court and be ready to offer evidence
to sustain the petition.
II am not sitting here as an as
sessor," continued Judge Shoemaker.
II am sitting here as a judge EN-
powered under act Of Assembly to cor
rect these lists where il has been the
fault of the assessor that the voter
,has not been placed on the list, the
zen should be disfranchised because OF
the neglect of duty on the part of an
! official"
