Saving a Hundred Million

Senator Curtis suggests to Presi-
dent Coolidge the chopping off Of
about 20 "useless" boards and COM
missions, and the onsolidation of
others in existing executive depart
ments. He estimates that a hum
dred million dollars could be saved.
If a hundred million is the total
present cost of these commissions.
then the estimate of saving is doubt
less too high. For most of these
boards are not useless"
Their work ought to be done. and
it will cost money for some one to
40 it, under any system. But there
is no question that the present meth
cd of doing it is needlessly extrav-
agant, and, what is worse, ineffici-
ent.
The situation in most states is
worse than that of the federal gov
eminent, but the cause is the same
in all. New functions have been
added to government, one at a time,
and the instrumentalities to handle
them have been added without sys-

Now the time has come when, in
private business, thorough re-
organization would be in order. The

1t has taken place, to some degree
in city governments. A few states
notably Illinois, have made begin

has nowhere been done as thorough

If some governor, in some state,
can set the, example of doing it right.
or if some administration, in the
national government, will 90 to the
roots of things, the example will be
contagious, and the achievement will
be historic.
The reforms of the Roosevelt era
were moral, political and humani-
tartan. The reforms now due are
the more prosaic ones of business.
But there is idealism in these. too
The cost of government has reached
the point where it can go no higher.
Either the waste must be cut ont
or necessary services must be
omitted.
If we are to have economic, social
political, humanitarian, or other
idealistic progress, the first >step is
on the unpicturesque path of eff
