Warns That Every Man Must Work
To Stay in Government Service
The old methods Of spending Government
money have gone to outrageous lengths
Bureaus have consistently overestmated
expecting Congress to cut. They spent
every dollar allowed and more. Every man
must now work for the Government corpora
ton or get out. The Government Is the
biggest business In the land, and It should
be run accordingly
Every man must make good. The man
who cannot save in his Office will bring
some economy to the Government through
the saving Of his salary, for he will surely
be separated from IT,
Il have told every bureau and division
chief that they must make economies and
that those who do not must CO. In this I
don't want to stampede the honest men
who have been cutting down ali the time
and are now on an economical basis and I
know that bureau chiefs can be easily STAN
peded. We will guard against Gripping any
portion of Government work. But there Il
one kind Of stampede we will have and that
is stampede for economy If have to per-
sonally 1ab every man who has anything to
do with spending to start him off,"

WASHINGTON, D. c.,

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Saturday.
IT. HE decision reached by Representative
James w. Good of Iowa, chairman
of the House Appropriations Com
mittee, to abandon his Congressional career
at the zenith Of its success in order to en-
gage in private business suggests a posi-
BILE answer to the question, What Is the
matter with Congress?"
That there is something the matter with
Congress and that 1t needs fixing" Is ad-
mitted by members of the House themselves.
They offer various explanations, but Chair
man Goods retirement Is an excellent an
swer to any curious questions that may be
asked. Mr.. Good is chairman Of one of the
most important committees of the House.
His committee is the more important now
because OF the merger that has been effected
OF all appropriating agencies in the House
into the one big Appropriations Committee
Not only does this committee appropriate
the billions that are required to operate the
Government but It influences the activities
Of all other committees because OF its cor-
troll of the Governments purse strings. Few
members of Congress wish to run counter to
the will Of this tremendously powerful or
ganization.

Another Public Man Who Wants
To Look Out for His Fyt

Mr.. Goods future political career Is rea-
sonably assured In spite of this he aban-
dons the position of superior influence he
has attained through years Of earnest SER
vice to engage in private business. Mr..
Good frankly confesses that at the age of
30 he feels that the time has come when
he should devote himself to the task of
taking care Of his future. He feels he must
utilize the remaining years Of his life to the
prosaic task Of making money.
No one who Is a student of Rovernrnert
can miss the significance contained in this
decision. The fact is that members Of Con-
gress are poorly paid, that their tenure Of
ONCE is uncertain and that public service
offers no certainty Of reward comparable to
private activity in business.
Members of the House are paid 1880 a.
year. Their mileage and other perquisites
are absorbed in overhead expense. A few
years ago this might have been regarded as
a reasonable salary, but with the increased
cost Of living it amounts in comparative pur-
chasing power to something like $500 per
year.
In taking measure Of this meagre salary
some thought must be given to the over
head OF a Congressional career. With the
general extension of the primary laws every
Representative who comes from reasonably
close district must go through two election
fights. He must first secure the nomination
and then must be elected. Both experiences
are expensive. In addition to that there ia

Not only has Gen. Dawes clasped to his
bosom the Harding slogan for more business
in Government, but Is equally enthusiastic
over the twin, less Government in business
We have reached place, he said, where We
must not only clearly define but conscien-
tiously execute the policies in this regard
dictated by common sense, We are on our
feet, but we didn't land running, and things
have got to be speeded up.
Courage and Frankness Marx
The Budget Directors Character
Gen. Dawes brings into play characteristics
that are seldom seen these days. He has a
hatred of frauds in any form. He despises
hypocrisy. He loves frankness. In his own
words he likes to "see the cards laid on the
table," He believes in being open and above
board all of the time, everywhere. He is a
man of infinite courage. Sometimes he loses
self restraint and let's loose torrent of
high power cuss words that would do credit
to any sailor. But that's Dawes. He ex-
presses himself very bluntly and without
hesitation. Ask him his opinion and you
get 1t without delay. Ask him his reasons
and he is right back at you with an answer
just as quickly.
There's no camoufage about Gen. Dawes.
He refers laughingly at times to his fame
as Hell an Maria" gained by his vociferous
denunciation Of Congressional investigators
and their methods few months ago at the
Capitol But cuss words don't make up all
of the Dawes vocabulary. They simply flash
out on occasions when restraint is dropped
for emphasis
It's when Dawes runs up against an In
dividual who offers him what is known in
curbstone parlance as bunk" that he loses
his temper completely and fires away, hitting
everything within range.

quickly. He's not the kind that makes for

fellows down. What we want in reconstruct

the expense involved in keeping his political
fences intact. He is the natural object of
approach by religious, charitable and social
organizations within his district when funds
are to be raised. Public spirited enterprises
are not complete unless the Representative
is included in the contributing list.
But this does not include all of the ffnan-
cial tribulations Of the Congressman. Wash
ington is the place where the high cost of
living has reached its last word. The Repre-
sentative must live In keeping with the
dignity of his position, Washington land
lords and merchants know this, and the
approach of a Congressman Is the signal
for full speed ahead in the machinery Of
price fixing.
Under these circumstances no member of
Congress, whether In the House or the
Senate, can save money. He must work
carefully If he does not pile up deficit.
No Public Career So
Uncertain as Congress
Assuming that he is an honest Congress-
man, resolved to prevent the establishment
of embarrassing obligations, he will allow
no one to finance his campaigns, Neither
will he listen to quiet tips from those who
are in close touch with the stock market

! Lecture on Economy
Fairly Shakes the Bureau Officers

That session was memorable. The Presi-
dent said a few words of introduction. and
Cen Dawes cut loose with lecture to these
staid and conventional bureau officers that
fairly showed them off their chairs. Gen.
Dawes drove home to every one of those
officials the idea that he is going to have
Government economy or bust in the attempt
The President was behind him in every
move, and told these officials so,
This preliminary was followed UP with
the formal get together meeting Latter OF
the budget officers designated to deal with
the budget bureau over which the President
again presided and announced that the
whole power Of the Government Is back of
Gen. Dawes in his economy programme. So
much for the preliminaries. The budget
system has begun functioning at full speed.
All of this was done in record time by
man who is not physically impressive de-
spite his great height and big frame. The
Director Ia well over six feet and weighs
more than 200. His features are small but
rather sharp Attention to them is bound
to centre on his wide and piercing gray eyes
that snap with the vitality Of his quick
action. With 1t all, in shirt sleeves in his
Office, with pair of old fashioned galluses
over his shoulders, the General does not
look impressive, but when he went into
action before the assemblage that included
every executive officer Of the Government
from the highest to the lowest his force
and his personality were Overwhelming.
The Budget Director got results in that
meeting He took entire charge of the busi-
ness orphan and the administration economy
programme and he means, he says, to get
results on them.
