Davey said:
The President of the United States
has earnestly, consistently and prop
eriy pleaded for economy in Govern
ment. His hands are tied by existing
laws, regulations, customs and red
tape. The result of this situation is
that there are. now more than 10000
more civilian employees on the pay roll
of the Government than there were a
few months after President Coolidge
took office. | want to cooperate in
giving him the opportunity and power
to do a thorough going job, and once
for all to get the business structure of
the Government down to a common
sense, economical, efficient basis.
For a considerable period of years
much has been said and written about
the urgent necessity of reorga niZing
the Government Of the United States
on a business basis. The great need
of such reorga niZation is obvious to
all students of Government. Recent
Presidents of the United States and
several of their spokesmen have urged
and pleaded the necessity OF reorgani
zation, with the result that reorgani.
zation bill is now pending, which Is
the product of the labors of the spe-
cial Joint committee on reorganization
created under the joint resolution
adopted December II, 1920, and amend.
ed by another joint resolution ap-
proved May 5, 1921.
I'm 1910 the annual appropriations
were S7S6, 94,797, whereas the appro-
priations for the fiscal year 1925, ex-
elusive of the amounts appropriated
for principal and interest of the war
bonds, amounted to S2,615, 5,871 791 .55.
In other words, the appropriations
for the conduct of the Government
for the past year were considerably
more than three times as much as
they were Is years ago.
Some Measure Of Economy.
''In the last several years we have
had some measure of economy in a

this country was laboring under the
peak load Of high war taxes and the
consequent revenue from these war
taxes after the termination of the
war was greatly in excess Of the re-
quirements of a peace-time basis. Jr
addition to this, we have had the
heneft of large amounts of money
received from the sale of surplus war
material, plus other large amounts
received in payment of principal and
, interest from the debtor nations. 1t
Is perfectly obvious, therefore, that
large tax reduction has been not only
possible, but logical and inevitab ble

easily rid the Government Of at lea st

make an annual saving for the over
| taxed American people that will be
an outstanding achievement of our
peace-time history.
There is one important phase of
this bill that deserves emphasis. While
there are a hundred or a hundred and
nifty thousand unnecessary and use
[ less employees, there are several
hundred thousand faithful, meritorious
ones, many of whom are decidedly
underpaid. When a person enters
the employ Of the Government of the
United States he leaves all hope be-
hind. There is little or no chance for
advancement on merit and almost no
chance to receive salary increases that
have been earned by honest. efficient
service. There Is no incentive, no
hope, with a result that many natural
ly good workers are made to feel, oh
what is the use? The fact that there
are a hundred thousand or more un-
necessary and useless employees is a
milestone around the necks of the
efficient and meritorious employees.
This bill authorizes the President to
use 10 per cent of the annual saving
under it's provisions to increase the
salaries OF those remaining employees
who are efficient and underpaid, .
