Philadelphia Public Ledger. Last week they
ordered the abdication of that weaklng sultan,
Mohammed VI, abolishing the sultanate and an

world by stripping the Calphate of its temporal
power and by arrogating to the Assembly the
right of naming the Successor of the Prophet and
Defender of the Faithful.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 8.-The
recent publication by the Institute for
Government Research of bulletin en-
titled THE National Park Service, has
brought to the attention of congress
me and department executives IN
Washington an important activity now
going on in their midst. The executive
branch of the government for the first
time is being analyzed, inventoried,
and put down on paper. In few
months or years at most, this great
organization which we call the govern
ment, which employs directly the ser
vices of 100000 persons, and which is
so vast and intricate that even those
best acquainted with it are continual
ly being surprised by its activities,
will be an open book to those who
take the trouble to read this admirable
series of bulletins.
The Institute for Government Re
search is an outgrowth and further
development of President Taft's com
mmission on efficiency and economy
1t is, however, no longer an official
organization, but is supported wholly
by private contributions. The inst!
tute now consists of body of traine1
political scientists who as volunteer
agents for the public are studying tho
government with the view eventual!
of making it more efficient. The di
rector of this work, is w. F. Will
oughby, who was member of the Tai

| stitute is DR.. Robert S. Brookings

power as chairman of the Price Fixins

Government Activities Analysed
Institute Government Research Tells Exactly What the
Various Bureaus Are Trying to Do.

dent Taft's administration the COM
mission on efficiency and economy
discovered that no one knew what the
government was doing. The work was
too great and too ramified to be COM
passed by any one mind. Work was
being duplicated and Implicated in num-
erous instances because one branch
of the government was unaware that
some other branch was engaged in
the same line of research. Because Of
the size of the government and be-
cause of the way in which the various
departments had been built up, it was
impossible for any one directing head
to know the details of what was 60
ing on.
Consequently, it was decided that
the first step in reform must be an
inventory of all government activities.
This job the Institute for Government
Research tackled soon after it was or
ganized in 1916. 1t adopted the sim
pie plan of going into the various bu'
reaus one by one and showing the
work each was doing. When all
have been analysed in this way, the
Implications of effort will show UT
automatically. Two bureaus-the rec
lamation service and the geological
survey-were investigated in 1916 an1
1917. Then the war came along and
stopped the work for two years or so

| lowstone National Park was created
by an Act of Congress. Yet the latter
was the first true national park in the
sense that it was to be region devel-
oped for the pleasure Of the public.
Hot Springs was merely reserved to
prevent the medicinal waters from be-
ing exploited by private ownership.
The establishment of Yellowstone
National Park was a romantic cpl
sode. The marvels of that region were
discovered in 1907 by John Golfer. a
hunter who had been attached to the
Lewis and Clark expedition. 1t was
the fate of Golfer and other white
men who went into the Yellowstone
district during the next half century
to be disbelieved when they told their
! stories of the spouting water and mud
from the geysers. In fact, the region
was at first derisively called Col
| ter's He'll"
In 1869 a reliable expedition OF
Montanans explored the Yellowstone
verified the preceding reports of it
and published the discoveries. This
was followed the next year by the ex
! ploration made by the Washbur1l
Doane expedition, which took in a mill
tary escort detailed by the War de
! partment. This expedition brought
about the creation of the park, and
gave birth to the national park ides
which has since worked out in the ma
tional park system as we know it to
day.
When the members Of the Wash
burn-Doane expedition saw the won
ders of the Yellowstone, they dis
cussed among themselves the suggest
ion that it would be profitable to picl
up ownership to the land surround
ing the geysers and others phenomen!
and exploit the place as a commercial
venture. Such an act would not have
: been regarded SO reprehensible thel
as it would now. But one of the mem
: bers of the party expressed the opin
ion that such a wonderland ought nev
: er to be allowed to pass into privat,
ownership at all but should be helS
: in perpetuity for the whole population
: The others agreed to this at once, an,
: the members of the expedition late
: took the lead in the movement which
; resulted in the creation of the Yellow
, stone National Park in 1872.
No other parks were added to tn
system until 1890, when the Yosemite
Sequoia, and General Grant Parks il
i, California were taken over by tn
Government. Then followed the cre
alton of the Mount Rainier Park il
1899 Since the year 1900 the Govern
ment has created IA national parks
so that the total number of them i
now 10. The parks did not attain
great popularity with the travelling pub
; lie until after the outbreak of the wa
; in Europe. That fact, shutting off oceal
travel, added to the development 0
automobile roads in the West, an
turned a flood of tourists into tn
parks. Whereas before 1915 onl
about 100000 persons visited the park
each year, last year the tourists nun
bered 100000.
