EDWARD c. LOWRY
A Writer of Recognized Authority
on National Governments
Business Methods.

No Washington correspondent Is bet
ter known or more highly esteemed
than Edward g. Lowry. That in It.
self means that he has broad and deep
knowledge Of national and world af-
fairs; that he Is skillful in getting the
news and tactful in writing 1t, and
that he has the confidence of the pub
lie men with whom he comes in con-
tact. But Mr.. Lowry has more than
that. He has the really patriotic feel
ing that the intimate knowledge Of the
nations affairs, which he acquires
through his work in Washington,
should be impaired to the people Of
the country who have not his privileges,
in such way that they will be led to
take that personal interest in the doings
of the government, which alone will
result in good government. He wants
the people to realize that it is their
government, answerable to them only,
and that they only are responsible
for its good qualities and its bad quail
tiles. 1t Is this feeling that has in
spired much of Mr.. Lowry's best work.
Born in Atlanta in 1876, Mr.. Lowry
was educated in private schools, the
Georgia Military institute and by priv
ate TUTORS and began his journalistic
career at the age of twenty-four. In
1904 he was sent to Washington and
has been there almost continuously
ever since. He has been the political
correspondent of Harper's Weekly, has
written many articles for the periodi-
cal press and since 1918 has been the
Washington correspondent Of the New
York Evening Post, and for consid-
cradle time the managing editor Of
that paper When Germany started
the World war the government natur-
ally found important work for Mr..
Lowry. For two years he was at
tached to the American embassy in
London, and then he returned to be-
come captain in the aviation section
of the signal CORPS. Then he was as

sistant military attache at London and
on the British front in Flanders, and
was with the American Army of Oc-
cupation in Germany. For his valu-
able work he was awarded the Brit
ish Military Cross. Recently he wrote
washington Close-Ups," series Of
character sketches of eminent figures
in the national capital, which the
country is reading with vast enjoyment.
For two years Mr.. Lowry has been
making close study of the business
of the government. He is given credit
in congress for his aid in passing the
budget bill and in bringing about the
naming of the joint committee of the
house and senate to investigate and
report upon the administration and or
ganization Of the government executive
departments. He now wants the peo-
pie Of the United States to know the
details Of the United States govern
ment, which Is their business. He be-
lieves the knowledge Of these details
will make of them better. Americans
and give them a better government.
No man not imbued with Mr.. Low
RVS high ideal could have carried out
this study Of the government business
so exhaustively and painstakingly as
has he Probably hehow knows more
about it than any other man in the
world. With extraordinary persever-
ance and logged persistence he went
after hidden facts and multifarious de-
.ails-and got them. Nothing was too
big for his comprehension or too small
for his attention. At one time he went
to a member Of the cabinet with the
statement that the government had on
it's payrolls, exclusive of the officers
and men Of the army and navy. one
employee for each 50 people of the
United States ten years Of age and
over engaged In gainful occupations.
1t took that cabinet officer, with the
assistants he had at his command.
considerable time, and considerable eff
fort to verify Mr.. LOwry's statement,
but he found 1t to be true.
AS the result of his careful studies
Mr.. Lowry has written series of ar
ticles on the business of government
income and expense; where the money
comes from, and how and for what 1t
is spent; whether the organization Of
the business side Of government Is eff
cient or inefficient; whether the gov
eminent wastes the money we give 1t.
The series Is not In any sense politi-
cal. 1t is not an attack, not muck
raking expedition. 1t recites facts,
conceded, acknowledged facts. These
facts come from the men in the gov
ernment-from the government itself
and they are all facts that every
American citizen is entitled to know
and should know.
The series Of articles on this subject
of where Your Taxes Go" will be
carried in these columns. They should
be read by every American who IL in
terested in the welfare Of the nation.

The Spanish government, il is de-
clared. has announced that a drastic
reduction in Charles establishment

gotiations proceeding in Hungary

ment there to pay an allowance to
Charles in the event OF his removal
TO Spain, which was considered the
most likely solution of the situation.

Switzerland, it is said, is prepared
to extend its permission to Charles to
reside in this country. The terms

The budget plan Is sort OF blue
print Of what one proposes to do with
the funds at command. The builder
can do his work properly only with
suitable plans before him. The differ
ence between the structure erected
with a plan and that erected without
one is great. The difference between
the results of an income administered
according to system and those spent
at random Is one OF just about the
same degree. To attempt to work
without a well-formulated plan, means
a haphazard and unsatisfactory result.
