WASTE IN GOVERNMENT

The associates of President Cool
idge have ceased to smile when he
talks of Saving" This is because he
stands behind the different proposals
which tend to cut out waste in Gov
eminent. These proposals are old.
The difference is that they now have
a two-fisted champion. No one except
former President Taft has attempted
to make an issue within political
circles of inefficiency in Government.
Mr.. Taft induced Congress to author
ize Board, which he appointed, to
study the duplication of methods and
all features of administration in Gov
eminent affairs. That was fifteen
years ago Bulky reports were made
and printed and their contents show
ed very clearly that Mr.. Taft at
tempted to put the public business
on a more efficient basis.
The same kind of a study has been
going on for four years under the d.
rection of the Bureau of the Budget
Perhaps the radio has done good
deal to explain this question, as the
semi-annual meetings of department
heads have been broadcasting. Presi-
dent Coolidge and the Director Of
the Budget have been the principa
speakers at these gatherings. Cen
eral Lord, Director of the Budget
is a wizard at figures, and he ha.
been able, with the help Of radio, T.

It is unfortunate mistake for
any part Of the public to believe that

DEADWOOD

President Coolidge and his advisers
have found that the Government de-
partments are overloaded with dead
wood" The remedy unquestionably
lies in reorganizing the depart
ments. This will mean that most OF
the valuable employs will be kept but
transferred to places where they can
be more useful. 1t will also mean that
some of the useless employees will
lose their positions and that there will
be a slump in the business annually
adding thousands of new Government
clerks In short the whole plan con-
templates the same kind of organiz
alton methods that are used in earring
on the affairs of the large industrial
corporations of the country. Better
business methods, less politics, and less
deadwood, ought to save $780, 09,-
600 a year for the taxpayers. 1t sim
ply a question Of business efficiency.

Continued from PAGE One)

Lawrence, as a result of the regular

County Attorney Frank E. Southland
upon the charge of embeZzlement.
Mr.. Shepherd left the bank shortly

at his home according to answers to
queries from that quarter.
The bank commissioner issued the
following statement: IAN examina-
ton of the affairs of the Hallowell
Savings Institution shows that the
treasurer is short in his accounts to
an amount which cannot be deter
mined until a complete audit has
been made, but probably will not
exceed ten thousand dollars. We
have discovered nothing to cause
any uneasiness on the part of the
depositors as the treasurer is bond
ed in the sum of twenty thousand
dollars and the assets of the insti-
tuition are more than sufficient to
meet all liabilities. Pending a COM
ection of the bank commissioner are
Withdrawals by depositors.
The total deposits of the institu-
ton as of March 30th., 1925, were
sos ,370.9O and it's aggregate re-

day or two" was the statement, this
afternoon by President Frank S.
Wingate of the bank. There will be
no losses for anyone and the bank
will still do business. The bank is
protected by ample bonds to meet
any difficulties which might arise.

considerable experience in banking,
having been associated with banking
interests more or less good many
years. He has been somewhat in
terested in some real estate deals in
Hallowell and in dickering in Sec
ond hand automobiles.
The Hallowell Savings Institution
is one of the oldest savings banks
in the State, being almost 100 years
old. During its long career there
has never been any discrepancy to
cause alarm to it's depositors. The
story of the warrant for Shepherds
arrest spread like wild fire through
the quiet streets of Hallowell and a
number of depositors, sensing dan
ger called at the Bank and withdrew
their savings, entire amounts.
No definite length of time is re-
Quired for notification before de-
posits are withdrawn.
