CHANCE TO FIND OUT

sive 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.
1t 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 1t, 1t glows.
If we are Indifferent it becomes cold.
This isn't the first 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-
m!nistratiye methods of the executive
departments was made by the Cockrell
commission in 1887. Six years later.
in 1898, joint commission, of which
Representative Dockery was chairman,
was appointed to examine the status
of the laws organizing the depart.
ments. President Roosevelt in 1908
named an interdepartmental committee,
Of which c. H. Keep, assistant secre-
tary of the treasury, was chairman. to
consider department methods. Presl-
dent Taft in turn, In 1910, named
commission on economy and efficiency
of which Frederick Cleveland was
chairman.
Broadly and generally speaking
nothing came Gf these enterprises
You and 1--coIumonly and vaguely
known as TIE puhlic--were NOT in
terested. and neither was congress
That ended it.
But just row, at this moment, we
have the hest chance we ever had to
find out about orr 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 aad approximations. This
Is one Of the defects of government
organization II is so large aud so
formless. ard Its PARTS so unrelated.
TINT exact ard precise information
about the whole is virtually unob-
talnable.
II is of the greatest urgency and
need that the people shall know
about their government. hut they viii
find II difficult ia learn until the g,,y,
eminent knows about Itself.

OUT-oF-DATE MACHINE

A committee made up of three mem
Gers of the senate and three members
Of the mouse Is now considering the
whole problem Of the organization of
the executive departments of the gov
arnment with view to finding out
how to reorganize them so as to in
grease their efficiency and decrease
their cost of operation. 1t is about
time. The great executive depart
ments of the government have not
been reorganlzed or greatly modern
szed since Alexander Ham lions day.
!, Representative Reavis of Nebra .ka
is enc Of the members Of this joint
congressional committee that is rr,k-
Ing the present Investigation. lie put
the resolution through the house that
brought about the appointment O. the
committee. He Is part Of tie ma
tional government machine and he
ought to know what he Is talking about
when he says that "wlIile the gov
eminent of the United Ststes is tie
worlds biggest business, Il is likewise

That is an Indictment and a stale
ment of fact that will stand the closest
scrutiny and the most unsparlng
analysis. But listen to Mr.. Reayis:
"Why should the Interior department
run an Insane asylum and college for
negroes and school for the deaf?
How did 1t get that way Why should
one personnel in the pension bureau
in the Interior department he caring
for the disabled soldiers of the Civil
war and the Spanish American war,
while another personnel In the bureau

ury is caring for the veterans of the
World war? Why this hodgepodge If
totally unrelated purposes which is re-
sulting in end 'ess duplication and APP
palling eXpense?"
l will let Mr.. Reavis so on without
further interruption. As a member
of the house he has his share of the
responsible for the conditions he de-
scribes:
There are 80 separate governmental
agencies handling engineering, architec-
tural and public works functions. all of a
related kind. There is no good reason why
all these agencies should not be co-ordl-
mated in one department and about 3S of
the useless organizations done away with.
There are rs government agencies engaged
In surveying and mapping; there are Y

by doing away with useless bureaus and
duplication OF activities.
Some of the Implications are ridicu-
lous and absurd For instance. the gov
eminent seeks to protect the wild animals
In the national parks. II a brown kadiak
bear has twin cubs one brown and one
black, as often happens, and one should
shoot the brown cub he must make his
settlement with one department, but II
he shoots les full brother, the black cub,
he must settle with another department.
II you were to shoot fox in Alaska your
settlement would be with the Department
of Agriculture. while If you trapped the
same fox you must make your settlement
with the Department of Commerce.
The government issued last year
through It's several bureaus and depart
nents 16 cooltbooks The last one that
was issued was published by the board
of vocational education. This is a board
organized by the congress for the purpose
of rehabilitating crippled soldiers of the
World war, to prevent, as far as possible,
their becoming derelicts in life. 1t
may be of interest to state that while the
government has been issuing is cookbooks
and consuming vast quantities of print
cations, 1900 country town newspapers
have suspended in the last three months
because they could not secure print paper
Mr. Reayis and great many others
have sensed the feeling In the coun-
try and in congress that the time has
come to put an end to all this sort
Of thing. He gives reasons for his
belief:
/ One of the reasons Is that The people
demand that their taxation b. reduced.
For many years we have been collecting
the revenues of this government through
systems of indirect taxation. The reve-
nues have been collected through pro-
tective tariff and by excise taxation on
intoxicating liquors. Indirect taxation of
this kind prevents the people from reaIiz-
ing fully just who is paying the expenses
of the government. There was a time
when the expenses of the government
amounted to only IL cents per capita per
/ year. Today the annual per capita ex-
pense exceeds $40. This tremendous ex-
pense has made it necessary to resort to
direct taxation, and the people have sud
denly become painfully aware of who
pays the expenses of the government.
/ / am very certain that the elimination
of Implications and overlapping in the de-
| millions of dollars There is no reason
why it should not be done.
| There is every reason. in the presence
| of the strife and turmoil that prevail in
| this country and of the unrest occasioned
| by the high cost of the necessaries of life,
that the government should be put upon
a sane, efficient and economical basis
Whoever by public clamor or other
means can induce congress and the
executive departments to organize the

eminent will have performed great
public service. Note that I say "or-
ganize" and not ''reorganize," for in
no proper sense has the federal bust

II You Heed a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify,
No other l..dney remedy has SO large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who haze
used the preparation, the success OF DR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact
SO many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle Of
Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address

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 and
Is In operation under the direction Of

Both houses of congress are work

of war risk insurance, that part OF
the public health service which had
tn do with veterans, and all of the
work of the federal board for voca-

which had to do with the treatment OF
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 | hive
spoken. Walter f. Brown Of Ohio is
chairman of this committee. represent
ing President Harding. The members
of the committee are, on the part OF
the senate, Senators Smoot OF Utah,
Harrison of Mississippi and Wads-
worth Of New York. The members ON
the part of the house are Repre-
sentatives Reayis of Nebraska, Temple
of Pennsylvania and Moore of Virginia.
The Job of this joint committee Is
TO make a survey of the admllllstra-
five 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
lapping and duplication of authority.
In reporting the resolution from the
judiciary committee to the house the
members were told.
1t is a matter of common khoWieuse

SAN FRANCISCO, March 30
Harry Leon Wilson, nationally known
author and playwright. and Theodore
Criley, artist, fought duel last Sat.
urday, according to a story printed in
a San Francisco paper today.
There were no clashing blades
nor silver mounted pistols. 1t was
fought in sheltered glen near
Carmel, the artist colony seventy
miles south Of here on the Pacific
Coast, and at daylight, the tradi-

The feud was said to be OF long
standing, arising from u quarrel after
a New Years festivity. Criley said he
was attacked in letters which came
through the mails and by messenger,
but that he made efforts to meet VIII
son to discuss the situation.
When Wilson left for Honolulu
early in the year it was thought TO
mark an armistice in the lcud
