CHIEF WOODWARD
 ENGINEER RESIGNS FUR OTHER WORK
Edward J. Best Sewers Pres ent Connection With Ems
 ley Plant
ENSLEY BUREAU l THE AGE-HERALD


 Edward J. Best, chief engineer for the Woodward Iron company, has re- signed. effective September 1. An nouncement to this effect was ru- mored In Ensley Saturday and con- firmed by Frank H. Crockard, pres- ident of the company, to The Age- Herald. No reason was given for the severance of relations between the Woodward company and MT. Best. This announcement will oc- casion profound surprise in industrial circles by reason of the prominence of Mir. Best and the fact that 1t was believed the Woodward company had found one of the best engineers in this country to handle some of its proposed betterment. At this time MT. Crockard said no successor had been selected and that no announce ment could be made as to who will bo asked to take over the work. Mir. Best said he did not have any state ment to make at this time as to where he would go or what work he intended to take up. He only re- turned Saturday from vacation of two weeks and as he stated has scarcely gotten his bearings just pow.
 MT. Best came to the Birmingham district several years ago to become chief engineer of the Tennessee company at the Ensley steel plant. He was engaged In much of the lar ger developments there, which were directly under Frank H. Crockard. Later he was given larger assign ments and left the Tennessee com pany only to accept a position as chief engineer for one Cf the lar best steel plants In Canada. He re- turned to the Tennessee company during the war and while 1t was ru- mored that he would design some of the new additions. 1t was officially announced that he was engaged on some metalurgical investigationse for the Tennessee company" Mir. Best left the latter company to accept the position at Woodward, which he sur rendered September 1.
 He Is perhaps one of the most amiable men engaged in industrials in this district. He has an engaging way of making friends and inva- rlably holds them. His resignation is all the more surprising in view of the friendship that has existed for years between MT. Crockard and the raf frIv nff to1

LEST We Forget"
"a Communication

To the Editor of THE ToMAHAwK:
A guest in the home of one of
your residents this last week, my
first visit was to the little cemetery
over the bill where lie so many
loved and revered by US aud those
who have been so much to US as a
people. And as l wandered thru
the narrow paths of the dead l
looked for a grave-a grave in
which lay one whose life had been
spent in effort for those he loved.
The grave Of one whose generous
big-heartedness was such that
when he passed away all be had
had been spent or given for others,
and little, if anything, left for his
very own. Rich in poverty he
was, for riches is counted not in
money but in deeds, and of these
there were many to his credit. He
had ALWAYS given-from of his
time, his effort, his advice and,
too, of his money. "Generous,"
some say, to a fault" tho there
is ONE who would not say that.
Yet l could not find the grave.
There was no stone to mark It's
place-IT WAS LOST. The shock
was great to me, and thot, DO
his people know this9" The answer
was as quick, "Of course not"
And 80 l write this, to let all those
whom he has 10 any way helped or
who care to SHOW their appreciation
of his worth as man know they
may aid in raising a monument to
the memory of Gus. H. Beaulieu.

NSouCluucu lTOlu ISL page.)
of Wolf Point, Mont, a member
of the Sioux tribe who volunteered
in the World war, served his ma
tive land over seas as a member of
the 1st division, was decorated and
marched in the honor battalion in
Paris, London, New York and
Washington, and one gets fair
idea of the exploitation of our
people. While he was over seas
an agent leased his land to a Mon
tana farming corporation for an
inadequate sum. This was with.
out his knowledge or consent.
The farming corporation took
possession and used the land.
After his return from overseas
and while stationed near Chicago
he obtained a furlough and per.
mission to return to his home at
Fort Peck reservation. When his
furlough was about to expire a
per capita payment was to be
made by the United States TO
members of the Sioux tribe at
Fort Peck. The agent had ad-
vanced toe allotment of some of
some of the Indians for their con-
venience and Steele sought the
same accommodation. The agent
in question, according to our in.
formation, refused to pay him and
insisted that he should sign a lease
made to the farming corporation
which the agent had previously
entered into with it. Meade Steele
was without any other means,
needed money and had his money
under the arbitrary control of this
agent. Thus, we charge, he was
forced through the coercion to
submit and to sign the lease and
was in a position known in law as
duress.
Now, the agent in question was
paid by the government solely to
protect the Indian. He was sup
posed to be in fact the guardian
of Steele, the ex.service man, in
this matter. Instead of fulfilling
the duties of his trust, we charge
he used his position against Steele
to the detriment of his ward.
This instance is by no means an
exception, but is quite typical.
Charges Petty Graft Also.
There are places where our
Indions are used to advertise hotels
and enterprises without practically
any compensation to them because
such service is under the direction
ard by arrangement of some of
the agents. )
In presenting these few facts
we ask the American citizens how
long will they permit this to 60 on
and will they not take an interest
and 3 hand in our affairs? Surely
when they know the facts they
cannot stand idly by. What we
complain of and what we charge
we stand ready to prove before
any tribunal, government body or
any set of fair men,"

Of Bureaucracy

ing evils of bureaucracy at Wash

o. Lowden of Illinois, in speaking
before the National Tax associa-
ton, did we'll to urge centraliza-
ton of executive functions in the
federal government and the definite
placing of responsibility for each
well organized department in an
official appointed by the president.
Mr.. Lowden finds that the ten
departments Under the control and
direction of the chief executive by
no means embraces all the agencies
of government. There are," he
said, many times ten independ-
ent and practically unrelated agen-
cies of government there" The
president cannot possibly exercise
effective supervision of all these
agencies, and no one else can or
does. The departmental form Of
organization is a mere fiction. 1t
was Abandoned long since, and
rigidity, red tape and waste are
the rule rather than the exception.
Lawyers and business men who

important matters always tell the
same story-and it is the story
told by Mr.. Lowden. Government
by bureaucracy or by ali inert,
almost lifeless mass has superseded
government by living organism.
The results in every direction
are lamcntable. Public money is
squandered and time and energy
are wasted on futile activities
Nowhere is there a responsible
head to give orders and introduce
business methods. The most prac-
tical and nseful improvements in
structure or form Of operation
have to wait indefinitely for q fair
trial.
Concentration and reorganiza

by students of the problem. Re-
ports have been made to Congress,

eaucracy resists constructive re.
form. Efficiency involves the
discharge of superfuous function.

among the lawmakers and former
lawmakers working as lobbyists.
Champions of tax reduction and
public economy should pay partic
uIar attention to the issue that Mr..
Lowden has so carefully studied
and made his own. What he &C
complishtd IN Illinois when chief
executive of that state, and what
Governor Pinchot has just accom-
plished in Pennsylvania, can be
achieved at Washington, but pres

The board was first conceived in 1909,
