SAYS SHIP BOARD LOST !
100000 LAST YEAR.
Lasker's Report Shocks Presi-
dent Harding; Declares It's
Squandering Money.

Washington. July 19.-Albert d.
Lasker, the new Chairman of the
United States Shipping Board. will
go before committee of Congress
and charge Incompetence, careless
ness. irresponsibility and gross in
efficiency in the conduct of Shipping
Board operations.
Yesterday Mr.. LasSer presented to
President Harding statement of
figures supporting these charges, and
explained the situation that confronts
the Government in undertaking to
continue to operate its merchant fleet.
To a group OF newspaper men whom
he saw after his return from the White
House Mr.. Ilasker said the President
was shocked and dismayed'' at the
portrayal of conditions.
1t would be a shock to Congress-. as
II was TO President Harding. said Mr..
Iasker. to learn that the Shipping
Board used $3.50, 900 900 last year out
OF the public treasury, and that Of
this amount 5000, 90 represented an
absolute loss in the operation of the
fleet.
The books of the Shipping Board.
he said, were in a deplorable condition
SO deplorable that it seemed impos-
sible TO straighten them out. Even
the $500. 100000 which he would ask
Congress to appropriate for the Ship
ping Board was 'as wild a guess as
We can make" but he said he would
make an effort to get along for the
first six months on s100.o0o.0o0.
President Harding said MIR. Lasker.
had instructed him to publish every
thing, including the losses of the Gov
ernment.
When Mr.. Lasker on his return from
the White House received the news
papermen, he had with him Alonzo
Tweedale, the Controller of the Ship
ping Board, and Mr.. Tweedales princi-
pal assistants. In the course of his
revelations the Chairman said that
neither Admiral w. S. Benson. for
ner Chairman of the shipping Board

roller Tweedale had anything to do

Notice to Merchants

NY attention has been called tn the
fact that merchants In various parts
OF St. Mary's County are engaged In
selling paper-wrapped cigarettes with
out having procured the special license
required by Law before so doing. The
Maryland CODE OF Public General
Laws requires all persons or corpora
tions intending TO sell at retail cigar
cites made OF tobacco in combination
with any other substance or material,
or covered, wrapped with or contained
10 any other material than tobacco, a

license tn sell same. This license costs
twentY-fiv dollars, and failure 90 pro-
cure said license Is punishable by a
fine of one hundred dollars.
Entirely apart from the question oil
the illegality OF the act of selling Gig
arettes without procuring the required
license, il can be readily seen that ID
is an act that not only depriyes the
State OF legitimate revenue, but IL Is
unfair to those mercha ants who observe
the law by procuring said license, only
TO see their neighbors reaping the
benefits from the sale OF cigarettes
without being licensed TO do so.

REORGANIZATION COMMISSION MEETS
TODAY

The Commission recently ap-
pointed by the Governor to con-
slider the proposed plan of CO.
ordinating the various state de-
partments into IL major units
will have its first meetings to-
day in Baltimore. 1t is hoped
that some real benefit to the
people of Maryland will result
from this and subsequent meet
ings of the Commission. The
personnel of the Commission is
such that it Is safe to predict
that, whatever their findings and
recommendations, they will have
at heart the very best interest of
the State. The following is an
Q,ltline-er-a skeleton" of the
plan proposed:
Each major department is to be
made up of one or more bureaus
and an administrative Office. The
latter would concentrate the ad-
ministrative service work for the
department as a whole and would
have general control and super
vision over the preparation of
departmental estimates and over
expenditures, cost accounting,
and reports. For most depart
mepts this Office would keep the
controlling accounts of the entire
department, prepare accounting
statements and reports, supervise
the collection of revenues, if any,
and make all disbursements. 1t
would be under the supervision
of the department director and
in direct charge of q chief clerk.
The principal policy -determin-
ing and administrative officer for
each department would be a "di-
rector" appointed by the Cover
nor and removable at pleasure.
The eleven directors would all be
members of the Governors cabi-
net. They would be fully respon-
sible to him and he in turn, be-
cause of the close supervision
thus made possible, would become
a chief executive in the full sense
of the term.
There would be one or more
permanent" executive officers
in each department, one at the
head of each bureau. The bu-
reau chiefs could be given the
title Of assistant director, deputy
director, or chief of bureau. al
though it might be preferable to
retain the term commissioner"
because of its extensive use in
the present organization. The
positions of the heads of the vari-
GUS bureaus should be placed in
the classified service of the State
= they should be removable
ofiiy for cause as provided in the
Merit System Law. They would
be the permanent expert execu-
tive heads as distinguished from
the ordinarily transient policy
making appointees of the chic
executive of the State.
