tee feels that no more constructive legis-
lation is possible under existing condi-
lions than the legislation oppose by
the resolution. With the present condi-
ton of the nations finances and the bur
dens the people suffer because of excess
sive taxation, any legislative measure
looking to real economy should ommen
itself to the sympathetic attention of the
house. and we feel thai the passage of
this resolution and the work of the COM
mittee which will be done under its au-
thority will result Vim the saving of mil
lions annually.
1t can be predicted with considerable
assurance that nothing will come Of
kthis proposed voyage of discovery I'M
less we, the shareholders in the enter
prise, maintain an active, lively, sus-
tanned interest in II. One thing is al
ways true of the house of repre-
sentatives-it is representative. If
we breathe warmly upon it, ii CLOVIS.
If we are Indifferent it becomes cold.
. This isn't the first time that a plan
has been set in motion TO find out
something about how the governments
business is conducted.
The earliest inquiry into the adj
minlstratiye methods of the executive
departments was made by the Coekrell
commission in 1887. Six wears later,
In 1893, n joint commission. of which
Representative Dockery was chairman,
was appointed TO examine the status
of the laws organizing the depart
ments. President Roosevelt in 1903
named an nterdepartmental committee,
Of which C. IL. Keep, assistant secre-
tary Of the treasury, was chairman, to
consider department methods. presi-
dent Taft in turn, in 1910, named a
commission on economy and efficiency
Of which Frederick Cleveland was
chairman.
Broadly and generally speaking,
nothing came of these enterprises,
You and commonly and vaguely
known as the public-were not in
terested, and neither was congress.
That ended ii.
But just now, at this moment, we
have the best chance we ever had to
find out about our ommon business
and how to improve it and lessen its
cost to us. The burden of supporting
it is heavier than ever before.
You will perhaps notice all through
these articles that the information
supplied me about the general facts
Of government employment and govern
ment business are in terms of
estimates and approximations. This
IS one of the defects of government
organization. 1t is so large and so
rormless. and its parts 50 unrelated,
that exact and precise information
about the whole IS virtually unob-
tainable.
1t is-Qf the greatest urgency ane
iced that the people shall know
about their government, but they Will
ind it difficult to learn until the gov
eminent knows about itself.

When a young man, his hair was de
cidedly red, AT the age of fifty he
was quite gray, and On occasions of
ceremony his locks (done up in a
queue) were freely powdered, as was
the custom of the day.
His teeth from early manhood gave
him a great deal of trouble. They were,
in fact, badly decayed-dentistry at
that period being an undeveloped art
and this circumstance rather married
his good looks when he smiled or
laughed.
He was also considerably peck
marked, having suffered an attack of
smallpox at nineteen years of age.

Il false set of hippopotamus ivory,

admiral Coontz, have the honor,
sir, to hand to you on behalf OF the
National Organization of the Near
East Relief this medal which our or
ganization is pleased to have you pre-
sent to Mrs. Nettie Hall Austin, one of
our most faithful and devoted work
ers. The service which Mrs. Austin has
rendered to suffering humanity over
seas is the kind above price. The work
which she has done has been made
possible by her devotion and self-sac-
rificing spirit, and has required courage
and the highest efficiency. In one in
stance up in the Caucasus she saved
the Near East Relief ten thousand dol
lars month in one station alone. She
brought into the service such high
efficiency, loyalty and faithfulness un-
der hard trial that the Administrative
Committee Of Constantinople conveyed
to her the special commendation OF
that body for her work. This is an
honor accorded to few. / consider 1t
a privilege to represent our national
office in the presentation of this dis
tinguished service medal to one Of our
most highly esteemed workers as a
recognition of her bravery, efficiency
and unselfish devotion
Mrs. Austin accepted the honor with
dignity and feeling and stated that ii
was quite fitting that it should be pre-
sented under the auspices of the En-
NETT J. Shields Post, American Le-
z gion, Of which she is member and
which was named after d brave lad
who gave his life for his country; and
that It was gratifying to her that the
honor should be conferred on her by
Admiral Coontz, a Hannibal friend
and co-worker in the navy during the
war and the man who stands, at the
helm Of the most splendid organization
In the world, the United States Navy.
5 And what could be more fitting
than to be surrounded by sbuddies'
from all Missouri, said Mrs. Austin,

come to me surrounded by Missourians,
the best people in the world"
Mrs. Austin is one of the best known
women in Missouri. She was born and
reared in. Hannibal and for the past
fifteen years has spent her time in her
native town, st. Louis and Jefferson
City. Mrs. Austin was prominently
connected with politics Of the State,
being the associate of the late Hon.
John A. Knot, editor and owner of the
Hannibal Journal. She served in sew
eral capacities at a number of the ses-
sions of the legislature and was secre-
tary in number of political cam
paigns. Among which she was secre-
tary to Joseph Shannon, James A.
Houchin and former Governor Joseph
w. Folk. During the war Mrs. Austin
was in charge of the stenographic
force Of the food administration. Re
signing that position to go with the
publicity department of the United
States Navy, which position she re-
signed three years ago to go overseas
with the Near East Relief.
During her leave Of absence, Mrs.
Austin is telling the story of the Near
East, illustrating her talk with slides
made from pictures which she took
with her kodak.
Mrs. Austin expects to return over
seas the latter part Of October or the
first Of November. During her stay
in her native state, she will assist the
Near East Relief in telling the people
Of Missouri the story first hand. Mrs.
Austin is pointing out the necessity Of
food supplies and clothing for the Near
East Relief work, prior to the first Of
December, as it is impossible to get
supplies in after December, as the
SHOWS close all traffic and it remains
CLOSED until the first Of March. The
Near East Relief has 10000 children
under its care who are wholly depend,
ent upon America for food, clothing
and shelter.
Rev. M. Edwin Johnson, newly ap.
pointed State Director for Eastern
Missouri, offices 1406 Chemical Build
ing, st. Louis, reports that the worf
in Missouri is progressing, and that
Mrs. Austin will visit every county ia
