A Business Administration

Somewhat obscured in the rush of
many important happenings was the
sixth regular meeting Of the business
organization of the government last
Monday afternoon. There are two
phrases in this statement that are
worthy Of particular note, the "busi-
ness organization of the government"
and the "sixth regular meeting"
Though the government of the United
States under the present organization
is 134 years old, it has been only with
in three years that the administrative
organization has been rated as a
business" Early in President Hard
sng's administration, in consequence
OF the adoption of the budget system,
a start was made to coordinate the
finances of government, and meet
ing was called Of all the executive
heads and active higher subordinates
to consider ways and means Of effect
ing higher efficiency and lower ex-
penditures. The results have been
shown In the lessened costs Of govern
mont operation.
Last Mondays meeting was ad.
dressed by President Coolidge in terms
that will reach the national under

The Teachers Paw Bill.

Rejection by the budget bureau of
both the Commissioners and the
school boards teachers salary bill
ton at the present session upon this
vitality important matter. The bureau
takes the position that the bills as
drawn are TOO liberal in the scales Of
pay, and that there are too broad dis
crepancies in the salaries of different
grades. 1t calls for the framing of a
new bill, which will follow as closely
as possible the provisions of the Cap
per pay bill, which failed Of passage
at the last session.
To revise these measures to con-
solidate their provisions 10 the point
of agreement. to conform to the meas
ure which has already at least com
mittee sanction in Congress, should
not be a difficult and time-consuming
task. II is true that in the framing
OF Il general salary scale there are
many divergent views to meet. many
conflicting interests TO adjust. But the
major purpose is to get a fundamental
salary scale established, based upon
equity, with consideration for duties
and responsibilities, to replace the
present patchwork system of salaries
that prevails.
Considerations Of economy in the
present are not so important as con-
siderations Of fundamental equity.
Proportion is the main factor. Dis
proportion is to be avoided. There is
no implacable conflict Of views be-
tween the District building and school
headquarters. The budget bureau
merely requires that the total of eX-
pense under the revised scale be kept
down to certain limits. II is for the
biIl-framerS now TO work out a meas
ure that will satisfy the budget bu-
reau and will gain the approval of
the District committees of Congress
and of the two houses of Congress.
Promptness of action is essential.
Harmony is required. The teacl n's
must be given basic salary scale
that meets their needs and that has a
chance of adoption. To this end let
everybody now work vigorously.

Underwood Speaks Up.

Senator Underwood of Alabama. in
a speech in Cleveland last night, laid
his cards on the table, face up. show.
ing his stand on important issues con.
fronting presidential candidates, whose
views upon them the country is en-
titled to know. The Alabama senator
has well defined opinions and is not
afraid to express them.
He devoted a considerable portion
of his speech to deprecating the Ku
Klux Klan, likening its activities to
the know-nothing party of 1856. He
has been consistently opposed to the
klan from the outset, but last night
went further in his structures upon
it than ever before.
Senator Underwood has no patience
with those who insist upon the miracle
of granting a soldier bonus and ef-
fecting tax reduction at the same time.
He says he cannot understand the
mental acrobats who claim that such
u thing is possible. The senator drove
straight and true at the necessity for
Sht1tAhc toA iNui1tAoi. iiS tfliiCu Ll-
tention to the rapidly growing burden
of taxation and it's appalling increase.
Nothing, he thinks, is paramount
to this issue, and everything should
give way before it. Law enforcement,
he insists, should prevail. He stands
four square to the world on the i'm
portant questions OF the hour. and
whether he secures the nomination or
not the whole world will know his at
titude.

New Theft.

There is certain amount of enter
prise among members of the robber
guild, and thieves often show inven.
tiveness and originality. 1t has been
said that many a thief would be sue.
cessful were he to apply his skill and
industry to honest work. The police
record chronicles a theft which,
though it may not be unprecedented,
seems to most persons who do not
study crime and criminals to be un-
usual. Two F street shops were ZEN
tered" the safes Cracked" and goods
and money carried off, That was bad
enough, but there was nothing orig
inal in 1t. Thieves have been "enter-
ing" stores ever since stores began,
and have been Cracking safes ever
since the first burglar proof and non.
crackable safe was invented. There
was also the record Of the attempted
robbery Of two grocery stores, but the
thieves were evidently frightened
off," Perhaps when some thieves saw
that account they smirked disdain-
fully and muttered, ''amateursg' or
''weak-kneed simps" or poor fsh"
or something Of that kind. The un-
usual note in the news account was
that thief had broken a public gaso-
line tank at Good Hope road and Ala

and had gone hiHway. Hero seems to
