economy and efficiency commission was
very conservative and cautious. 1t
took Mr.. Tafts view that the prob
lem of good administration is not one
that can be solved at one time. 1t is
continuously present one. This
commission, made up of excellent men,
suggested that the revenue-cutter serv-
ice be abolished and its activities be
taken over by other services. 1t was
estimated that by so doing a saving
of not less than $1,000,000 could be
made.
Another report recommended that
the lighthouse and life-saving services
be administered by a single bureau in
stead of as at that time, by two bu-
reaus located in different departments.
1t was estimated that this consolida-
ton would result in a saving of not
less than 100000 yearly.
The abolition of the returns office of
the Interior department was recon-
mended, at an estimated direct saving
of about $4,000 a year, in addition
| to q large indirect economy in the
reduction of work to be performed in
the several offices.
The consolidation of the six auditing
offices of the treasury and the inclu-
sion in the auditing system of the
seven naval officers who audited Gus
toms accounts at the principal ports
was urged. The change was expected
| to produce an immediate saving of at
least S135,O00 yearly.
| From this modest start other changes
and reforms and savings were to be
made
| But we weren't interested In the
high cost Of government or the high
cost of living eleven years ago. Mr..
Taft didn't get rise out of us. He
didn't have much Of pull with con-
| gress, either, poor man, and all his in
quiry went for nothing as far as any
action was concerned.
He and his commission did bring out
and establish, however, certain facts
and conditions. 1t was trustworthy
and competent investigation as far as
II went. That Is something to the
good.
There is patent disposition In con-
gress now to take the whole problem
of the routine administrative processes
of the government under consideration
and see how best to improve them
Whether anything really worth while
will come out of it will depend en-
tirely on the degree Of interest you
display. If you will take the trouble
to show that you know that the ma.
tlonal business Is mismanaged and
costs too much, and that you are tired
Of 1t. there will be acton.

| to bring about the reformation so bad
ly needed.
And now Franklin d. Roosevelt, for
seven years assistant secretary of the
navy and recently the Democratic can
didate for vice president:
The entire system of relationship which
exists between congress and the eXecu-
tive departments is fundamentally wrong
Let me illustrate | made an offer one
spring to the appropriations committees
of both house and senate, telling them
that | would tomorrow discharge Is per
cent of the employees of the Navy de-
partment if they, the committees, would
give me complete authority to take one
half of the salaries of the employees so
discharged and add it to the salaries of
the other IS per cent of the employees
still left in the department. Of
course, however, under the present sys-
tenn congress would not think of giving
executive discretion of this kind
Congress, for various reasons, has so
tied the hands of the executive officers
of the government that they have no dis
erection in the fundamental questions of
employment My own wonder is
that considering the existing circum-
stances, the employees of the govern
ment are as efficient as they actually are
Congress legislates for every minute item
of employment. = There is lot
of work being done in other departments
which ought properly to be under the
Navy department, and in the same way
there is lot of work done by the Navy
department which could perfectly prop
erly be transferred to other departments
After seven years down here in an ex-
ecutiye position I cannot help the
conclusion that our governmental meth
DDS are cumbersome and waSteful. The
first Improvement must come in what is,
after all, the source of governmental ac-
tivities-that is, the legislative branch. i. i.
This must come from congress We need
also a Redistribution and redistribution
of the work of the executive depart
ments This can only come If congress.
working in accord with itself and with
the executives, will discuss the whole
question simultaneously and not merely
pecemeal.
Well, there you are! A Republican
who has been in the legislative branch
of the government for seventeen years,
and a Democrat who has been in the
executive branch for seven years, both
telling the same story of how badly
the national business is managed.
The odd thing about it is that our
agents and representatives at WASH
ington who let this waste and inef-
ficiency run on, year after year, pay
no penalty. We pay the piper to the
tune of millions and Enthusiastically
| that much. And the condition will en-
dure until we make a real roar about
it. Congress increasingly shakes its
head over the situation and brings in
various proposals of reform, and says
how wrong it all is; but lacking a
lively, infiamed public pressure. moth
ing gets done.

WE'RE COLD TO REFORMS

We have not had in our time Presi-
dent who was a business man or who
had close acquaintance with business
methods. The Chief Executives have
for the most part, not been executives
as that term is now understood. Any
thing but. They regarded the govern
mental machine as one regards hired
which to get somewhere, and with no
thought of its power-tranSmission
system or economy of operation.
Mr.. Taft did sense the fact that he
was at the head of an organization
whose activities are almost as varied
as those of the entire business world.
Mr. Harding, l believe, shares this
feeling.
AS Mr.. Taft pointed out, this great
organization has never been studied
In detail as one piece of administra-
tive mechanism. No comprehensive
effort has been made, until very re-
Gently, to list its many activities or to
group them in such way as to pre-
sent a clear picture of what the gov
eminent is doing. No satisfactory
statement has ever been published of
the financial transactions of the gov
eminent as whole. With large in
terests at stake congress and the eX
ecutive have never had all the infor
nation which should be currently
available if the most intelligent direc-
ton is to be given to the daily national
business.
Congress. the President and the ad-
ministrative officers have been at
tempting to discharge their duties
without full information as to the
agencies through which the work of
the government is being performed
In the past. services, agencies, bureaus,
what not, have been created one by
one as exigencies have seemed to de-
mand. with little or no reference to
any scheme of organization of the gov
eminent as q whole.
Mr.. Taft pointed out all this and
made an earnest effort to change It..
With what result? Why, just exactly
none. Congress was cold. The pub

We didn't take any interest In the

iitely yawned II away into the tall
grass and out of sight. Mr.. Taft was

cheney and economy commission and

FIVE FATALITIES
IN GEORGIA STORM
TORNADO CAUSES MUCH DAMAGE
AND DESTRUCTION IN
SOUTHERN STATES
STREAMS OVERFLOW BANKS
Many Manufacturing Plants Situated
Below Macon Are Inundated, And
Farther Down Stream Farmers
Farmers Report Crops Ruined

Atlanta, Ga-Five deaths appear to
be the total of fatalities in the lorna
do which ravaged mill villages near
here in Georgia and South Carolina.
The storm conferred at Warrenville,
S. c. where, in addition to the five
killed, several were injured. There
was heavy damage at the nearby Caro-
lima towns of Langley and Granite
vile.
In Warrenville, here twenty-five
homes in the southeastern part of the
village were demolished, the uninjured
homeless Immediately set about the
work of rescue, guided through the
binding rain in the darkness by cries
for help. Many had been awakened
by the rumbling of the storm and the
trembling of their houses just in time
to escape.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Tillman
Beard was demolished, except for the
roof, but they and their five children
were not injured The youngest of the
Beard children, an infant few months
old, was trapped under the roof,
which was left intact like a huge
chicken coop, and he laughed gleefully
when taken from a comfortable pillow
by a rescuer.
Clothing, furniture and wreckage
were scattered over the ground and in
tree tops.
Streams throughout middle Georgia
weer out of their banks as a result Of
q rainfall of 6.37 inches. The Georgia
railroad will not be able to operate a
train between Macon and Milledgeville
for several days, because of washouts.
The Central of Georgia's Atlanta di-
vision was tied up for several hours by
a landslide near the city limits of Ma
con. Washouts on the Georgia South
ern and Florida railroads tied up traf-

below Macon are inundated. Farther
downstream farmers report their

the men we have hired to run the ma

in places of trust and power and re-

is grotesquely inadequate. The NOR

the price for this, grossly and hugely,
in money and in poor service. This

are, Reed Smoot, Republican and a
senator from Utah, speaking:
The administrative branches of the
government have undergone no funda-
mental change since the organization was
devised by Alexander Hamilton.
No other government in the world
could have gone on as ours has done, and
paid the bills involved in our wasteful
methods of administration. We have been
able to do 1t because this country has
had resources and wealth unparalleled.
But the war has brought US at last to
realize that these will not last always.
We need a complete survey of the whole
situation de novo by a committee of men
willing to recognize that 1t Is a task OF
day and night for year, and very likely,
two years.
There is endless duplication of work
among different departments, and even
in the same department 1t is
the same through all the government
functions, and now. when the burden of
carrying our enormous debt is weighing
on the people, we can no longer neglect
to give it consideration.
