impression that all private business

that all the efficient people are in pri-

UP TO YOU AND CONGRESS

At the present time it would be q
masnomer to speak of the national
government having a personnel sys-
tenn at all. The reform accomplished
by the establishment Of the civil serv-
Ice commission and the merit system
has touched but one phase Of the per-
sonnel problem, and that but partially
into the government serv-
Ice. Practically nothing has been done
In the way Of erecting the government
services into careers that will attract
and retain efficient men. Bad as con-
ditions were In this respect before the
war, they have become many times
worse during and since that event.
The correction of these evils pre-
sents problem Of great complexity.
1t cannot be achieved by half
hearted or halfway tlnkering with the
present system. Nothing but a thor.
ough overhauling of the whole person.
mel system and the establishment Of
new system covering all phases Of
the question and embodying the most
approved principles Of personnel ad-
ministration will meet the needs of
the situation. Fortunately begin
ming has been made in this direction.
It at least furnishes starting point
for action looking to the giving to the
government of the personnel system
that it must have If government work
is to be even measurably we'll done.
The situation now is that there is
an insistent demand on the part of
the public that the whole administra-
tion of the national government be put
upon more efficient basis, and that
the present waste of public funds, re-
sulting from present defective organ
ization and methods, shall cease; that
congress Is alive to this demand and
has made start toward meeting 1t;
that the fundamental defects in the
existing system are we'll known; and
that the direction efforts looking to
reform should take are clearly estnb-
lished. The responsibility is thus
squarely up to congress.
: If the problem that confronts con-
gress in securing this laudable end is
analyzed 1t will be found that the
fundamental reforms are: The re-
form by congress itself of it's own or
ganization and methods of procedure ;
the entire revision Of the present sys-
TEN under which the financial needs
Of the government are determined and
provided; the setting up Of an agency
and procedure through which the ex-
penditure Of public funds may be
properly controlled and congress be
given that information regarding such
expenditures which it must have If it

You may remember that back In the
time Of the first Cleveland admlnstra-
tion one Of the problems of public
discussion was: "What shall be done
with the surplus?" Then there was a
change of administration and Corporal
Tanner was made commissioner Of
pensions. The whole country was
amused and had hearty laugh when
he announced his policy: "God help
the surplus!" Them was the halcyon
days! ..
Mr.. Gilbert, the present undersecre-
tary Of the treasury, In an address
said:
1.-THE estimates for the year 1920
show that over billion dollars of ex-
penditures were authorized by the last
session Of congress in addition to the
amount shown in the usual compiled
statements Of appropriations. In fact,
the practice has reached such proper
tions as to be almost national
scandal, and 1t was, vigorously de-
nounced In the Presidents last annual
message.
1T has become the first principle
of strategy on the part of people In
terested in appropriations for various
special purposes to frame the matter
40 as to authorize the use of the
public funds indirectly, or in indefinite
terms. or by authorization for ex-
penditure of unexpended balances. per-
haps appropriated originally for other
purposes, or by authorizations to
divert government receipts before they
ever reach the treasury. Efforts are
made to hnd general words which do
not speak In terms of appropriations
and cannot be readily calculated.
'The last session Of the present
congress, for example, authorized ad-
ditional expenditures out Of balances
Of prior appropriations and frcm re-
ceipts to the amount Of over $5OO,OOO,
600, including over $4OO. 100000 for the
shipping board. The present ses-
sion Of congress by similar procedure
takes credit for refusing appropria.
tions for the shipping board, but, at
the same time, purposes to authorize
the expenditure Of receipts in amounts
that may reach as high as $500, ,OOO.-
600. BY the indefinite appropriation
for the railroad guaranty about $780,
100000 was in effect appropriated
without appearing in any Of the state;
ments Of appropriations"
You see how 1t goes.

BOrah Opposes Measure and Threat

The two United States senators
from Idaho disagree on the merits of
the proposed ship subsidy bill which
will more than likely come up during
h e special session which convened
Monday
Borah says that he will fight the
measure, lead filibuster against it if
need be, and that any attempt to re-
viye the bill is nothing short of party
suicide.
Gooding is for the bill, saying that
he believes that the helping of
American shipping will be benefit to

ure of the kind pass that will afford
financial relief to the farmer in times

WASHINGTON, d. C. - Japanese

The ruling is expected to attract

80 AMATEURS BOX
IN TOURNEY TONIGHT
Big Entry of Medal Chasers on
Velodrome Program
of A. A. u.
BY CHARLES r. MATHIsoN.

The amateur boxers. valiant athletes
who thump each other for glory and in
expensive medals and who seem quite
as we'll pleased with themselves as pro-
fessionals with bloated bank accounts
will get into the spotlight at tho New
York Velodrome tonight when they be.
gin two nights tourney.
All the best performers in the amateur
ranks will be on hand to struggle for the
trophies. and the swings and uppercuts
that will be aimed in the ring will cause
cooling breezes to circulate throughout
the arena.
The boxing department of the A. A. u.
announces that eighty of the Simon pure
boxers have entered. and that there will
be enough contests to fill the hours from
8 F. M. to A. NJ That is the only
drawback to amateur boxing. There Is
too much of 1t to suit even the most
rabid devotee of the stuffed mitt game.
All professional bouts end by IL p. M.
and that is late enough.
But the A. A. U. men are sticklers
for remaining till the last bout has been
contested. with the result that many of
the spectators get home about the time
the mflkman arrives.
The indoor boxing season will start a
week from Friday, when Joe Lynch.
worlds bantam champion. will jump out
OF his class and try for the junior
featherweight title. His opponent will
be Jack Wolfe. of Cleveland. who re-
Gently gave frankie Jerome a trouncing.
The limit of the class Is 1872 pounds at
2 p. NJ, and 1t will be the second junior
championship to be fought for. Dundee
is the holder Of the junior lightweight
title. w. A. Gavin, organizer of the In
ternational Sporting Club, who was re-
sponsible for the establishment of the
Junior championships. would, If in this
country, be gratifed. Lynch is not
selecting an easy mark for his first
flight in the new class, for Wolfe is a
resourceful and heady boxer.
Lew Tender Is In good condition for
his Is round bout with Pal Moran. of
New Orleans, at the New York Velo-
drome next Monday night. Moran
fought ten rounds with Champion Benny
Leonard at New Orleans several months
ago and held his own.
JACK Bernstein, the 1onkerS llgnt-
weight, has become ambitious and
threatens to file a challenge to Leonard
with the Boxing Commission. Might be
good idea for Bernstein to defeat
Archie Walker before posting $4,000
with the commission for a Leonard
contest.
Jack Kearns and Jack Dempsey may
go to Mexico to fight Jack Johnson.
That is to say. unless they go to Eu-
rope to matreat Joe Beckett. Then
again. they may not go to either place.

in danger of being kidnapped by Mexi-
can bandits. and If they went to Europe
no one might care to see them maui
