commission. made up Of excellent men,
suggested that the revenue-cutter sery-
Ice be abolished and its activities be
taken over by other services. 1t was
estimated that by so doing saving
of not less than $1,0O0,OOO could be
made.
Another report recommended that
the lighthouse and life-suving services
be administered by single bureau in
stead of as at that time, by two bu-
reaus located in different departments.
1t was estimated that this consollda-
ton would result in Il 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 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

least $135, 900 yearly.

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: l made an offer one
spring to the appropriations committees
of both house and senate. telling them
that / would tomorrow discharge 10 per
cent of the employees of the Navy de-
partment II they. the committees, would
give me complete authority to take one
half of the salaries of the employees
discharged and add It to the salaries OF
the other s. per cent of the employees
still left in the department. or
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
cretion in the fundamental questions of
employment My own wonder is
that considering the existing ctrcum-
stances. the employees of the govern
ment are efficient as they actually are.
| Congress legislates for every minute item
| of employment. There Is a lot
| of work being done In other departments
which ought properly to be under the
| Navy department, and in the same way
| there is a 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-
| ecutive position . / cannot help the
| conclusion that our governmental meth
| ods 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.
| This must come from congress. We need
also a reclasslfcation 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
piecemeal.
Well, there you are! A Republican
who has been in the legislative branch
of the government for seventeen years,
and 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 1t is that our
agents and representatives at Wash
ipgton 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 real roar about
it. Congress increasingly shakes its
head over the situation and brings in
various proposals of reform, and says
how wrong 1t all is; but lacking a
lively, infiamed public pressure, moth.
ing gets done.

OUR COSTLY NEGLIGENCE

"Co-ordination" Is tired, haggard,
nervous wreck Of word that was
nearly worked to death at Washington
during the early days of the war. 1t
was the first Of the dollar-a-year words
to come forward to do war work, and
it was worn to a. FRAGILE. 1 hate to
drag the poor wan thing out from the
quiet retreat in my dictionary where
it has been resting and recuperating,
but l must say that this lack of Co
ordination, lack of organization, du-
plicatiOn, inefiiciency, waste, and hap
hazard hodge-podge structure of the
national governmental machine Is no
secret to those at Washington, who
run and manage 1t for us, and who are
even more directly responsible than
we are for the condition into which
ii has fallen.
1 submit pleas of avoidance and
confession from both Democrats and
Republicans. 1t is not a matter of
politics. 1t Is a matter of proved and
confessed negligence on the part of
the men we have hired to run the ma
chine. and have kept year after year
in places of trust and power and re-
sponsibility. They haven't kept up
the plant. The form of organization
is grotesquely inadequate. The NOR.
ale of the working force is badly i'm.
paired, as l have set forth at length
in previous articles. We have paid
the price for this, grossly and hugely
in money and in poor service. This
has been costly negligence on our part
said had confessions. Here they
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 wastefu
methods of administration. We have beer
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 committee of mer
willing to recognize that 1t is task OF
day and night for year, and very likely
two years.
There is endless duplication of work
among different departments. and ever
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 1t consideration.
When he said these things, Mr.
Smoot was urging concrete propose
