TWO FACTS.

Two facts before the American
people are worthy of consideration
at this time.
First, this is the year for holding
congressional elections-for return
ing some of our solons to Washing
ton and leaving others at home to
repent of their shortcomings.
Second, congress has suddenly
come to life on the subject of SOL
der bonus law.
Nearly four years after the close
of the war, when all other nations
have enacted readjusted compensa-
ton legislation in favor of their ex-
service men, we are still at sea, hag-
Cling; and scrapping over ways and
means, with thousands and thousands
Of veterans destitute and out Of en-
ployment.
If congress ever intends to do JUS
tice to these men it should be done
now, when they are still alive and
most need it.
It would be only an insult to their
memory to pay it to their descend
ants after they are dead and gone.
1t would seem that congress has
one eye on the approaching elections
and the other on the American Leg
ion vote, but even that is better than
the utter callousness that has exist
ed heretofore.
The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1922-02-04

It can be predicted with considerable
assurance that nothing will come of
this proposed voyage of discovery I'M
less we, the shareholders in the enter
prise, maintain an active, lively, suS-
tanned interest in it. One thing Is al
WAYS true of the house of repre-
Sentatives-it is representative. If
we breathe warmly upon it, it glows.
If we are Indifferent it becomes cold.
This isn't the frst time that plan
has been set in motion to find out
something about how the governments
business is conducted.
The earliest inquiry into the ad-
ministrative methods of the executive
departments was made by the Cockrel
commission in 1887. Six years later,
in 1893, joint commission, of which
Representative Dockery was chairman.
was appointed to examine the status
of the laws organizing the depart
ments. President Roosevelt in 1905
named an interdepartmental committee,
of which c. Fl. 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 1t.
But just now, at this moment, we
have the best chance we ever had to
find out about our common 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. It is so large and so
formless, and its parts so unrelated
that exact and precise information
about the whole is virtually unob-
tainable.
1t is Of the greatest urgency and
need that the people shall know
about their government, but they will
find it difficult to learn until the gov
eminent knows about itself.

SPECIAL ELECTIONS 20 BE
HELD.

Governor Parker issued a procla-
nation on Tuesday of this week, set
ting April 18th as the day for hold
ing the six special elections that are
now necessary in different parts of
Louisiana.
In this city and parish we are di-
rectly interested in but one, that
made necessary by the resignation of
State Senator DomengeauX, of La
fayette, who resigned to accept the
position of Post Master in our neigh
boring city.
Due to the recent death of Mr.
John T. Michel, it will be necessary
for the First District to elect his
successor to the State Public Service
Commission.
Mr.. Michel was one Of the two
commissioners who decided against
the public in the matter Of the Tele-
phone Rate Increase case. His death
leaves Mr.. Shelby Taylor and Mr. :.
Huey Long on that body, they being
divided in the matter of phone rate
increase. The choice of Mr.. Michel's
successor therefore involves the in
terests of every one in the state, re-
CARELESS of whether they vote in that
District or not, as which ever side
he joins with will finally win out in
the matter. 1t will be a fight of the
Interests against the People, and
will no doubt be watched with much
interest.
Democratic primaries will be ne
cessary, and the date for these will
be set by the various Executive
Committees.

CHANCE TO FIND OUT

Just now a belated effort is under
way to find out some of the facts
about government business and gov
eminent employment. The Bureau OF
the Budget has been organized ana
Is In operation under the direction OF
Charles G. Dawes.
Both houses of congress are work
ing on the problem Of Redistribution
Of government positions and salaries.
The Veterans bGreau has been Or
ganized and has taken over the bureau
Of war risk insurance, that part OF
the public health service which had
to do with veterans, and all OF the
work of the federal board for voca-
tional education except that part
which had to do with the treatment or
persons injured in the industries.
There Is also the inquiry being made
BY the joint committee on the re-
organization Of the administrative
branch Of the government OF the Two
house OF congress, Of which nave
spoken. Walter f. Brown Of ONO is
chairman Of this committee, represent
ing President Harding. The members
OF the committee are, on the part OF
the senate, Senators Smoot of titan,
Harrison Of Mississippi and Wads-
worth Of New York. The members on
the part of the house are Repre-
sentatives Reavis Of Nebraska, Temple
OF Pennsylvania and Moore of Virginia.
The Job Of this joint committee is
to make a survey of the administra-
tive services of the government for the
purpose of securing all pertinent facts
regarding their powers and duties,
their distribution among the several
executive departments, and the over
tapping and duplication of authority
In reporting the resolution from the
judiciary committee to the house the
members were told:
It II q matter of common knowledge
that millions Of dollars are wasted by
the government by the almost endless
duplication of activities. There has been.
no fundamental change in the admins
trative activities since the organization
was devised by Alexander Hamilton, and
the result is that activities entirely out
OF harmony with the functions Of depart
ments have grown with the passing years
until the government Of the United States
has become not only the biggest business
In the world. but the worlds worst man
aged business.
The purpose Of the resolution is to
ascertain SO far rs possible the extent
OF the overlapping and duplication Of &C
tivities, with the view that numerous
commissions and bureaus may be elimi-
mated and q great saving effected in the
governmental expenditures. The commit
tee feels that no more constructive legis-
lation 10 possible under existing condi-
lions than the legislation proposed by
the resolution. With the present condi-
ton Of the nations finances and the bur-
dens the people suffer because of excess
-aive taxation, any legislative measure
looking to real economy should commend
itself to the sympathetic attention of the
house, and we feel that the passage of
this resolution and the work of the COM
mittee which will be done under its au-
thority will result in the saving of mil
lions annually.

COMMUNITY CHORUS TO BE
ORGANIZED.

For the past few weeks number
of New Iberia's ladies and gentlemen
have been planning to organize Il
Community Chorus and it had been
intended to have the first practice on
next Tuesday evening.
We understand now, however, that
due to delay in securing the books
from New Orleans, that the date OF
the first meeting has been postponed
until one week from Tuesday, or Feb
ruary IA. The High School auditori
UNI has been secured for the place
of meeting and everything will be
ready to start off full swing on the
date above mentioned.
Quite large number of lovers of
music have already stated that they
want to join in the movement, and
it is probable that there will be fully
half hundred present the first night.
This is strictly a community ent-
erprise, and anybody who likes music
is invited to join. There are no dues,
and it will cost absolutely nothing to
any Individual as the song books
have been purchased with money
given by the Community Library.
1t is simply an informal associa-
ton of people who love music and
like to sing, and everybody is well
come. For a time at least, mostly old
familiar songs will be used, new ones
being gradually learned and added to
the list Of numbers. When the mem
bers get well organized and able to
sing together well, it is probable
that a public entertainment will be
given for the benefit Of some local
charity.
Don't forget the date, Tuesday,
February 14th, in the High School
auditorium

THE WEEKLY IBERIAN
SENATOR BROUSSARD'S SONS
HAVE NARROW ESCAPE.

When the citizens of Iberia Par
ish read of the terrible accident IN
Washington, D. c., when the roof OF
a theatre building caved in under
the weight of snow and ice that was
heaped upon it, we little thought
that only Fate had interviewed to
prevent some of our own people from
being caught in the crash that cost
over hundred lives.
Word received from Washington
states that Felix and Edwin Brous-
sard, sons of Senator Edwin 5.
Broussard, had been in that theatre
and had just left, after the first
show, when the crash came.
The boys state that they had gone
but short distance. and were still
so close that they heard the noise
when the roof collapsed.
