FOR JUVENILE COURT

by Glover Park Citizens-Na.
tional Representation Asked.

MISS Eta L. Taggart, prominent local
attorney and civic worker, last night
was lndorsed again for appointment as
Judge OF Juvenile Court at a meeting
OF the Glover Park Citizens Associa-
ton. The association previously took
this action and adopted reafirmation
upon motion Of William D. Harris. local
attorney. Action was taken unani-
mously.
An address upon national represen-
tation for the District was delivered at
tne meeting by Miss Taggart, who
urged her hearers to take an active in
terest in civic affairs to bring this about.
These associations are a great fac.
tor in the life Of any CITY," she said.
and they likewise are an important
factor and 1t follows that membership
becomes a duty for that person who
would not shirk his or her share in
community and city development.
we must not be satisfied TO sit and
let others do the work, but we must
participate in and instill in others the
desire to participate in our home affairs.
so that in the end by our efforts we can
ooast OF the most beautiful city in the
world and as natural result accom-
pllsh national representation"
MISS Taggart sketched the demand of
tne district Tor more adequate repre-
sentatlon In the Nations councils and
outlined the work the Citizens Joint
committee OF the District Of Columbia
Is doing to achieve this. In the courts
she said, the rights of the resident OF
the District are jeopardized, because of
the disability placed by law upon him
In not being able to sue and be sued
as are citizens in the States And so
she maintained, in this wise, the rights
OF the District resident are In reality
less than those of an alien.

Geographic Society.

Striking views of the Grand Teton

and present almost a sheer wall to the
beholder. They soar from 1000 to
5000 feet above the floor of the Jack
son Hole country and are covered with
perpetual snow. They form the most
recent National Park set aside by the
United States Government and beside
them now leads a good automobile road
which forms a southern entrance to
Yellowstone National Park. The two
Federal reservations are only about I2
miles apart.
In his other views Of Western sub-

was under consideration when Wood
made a strong plea in its behalf.
This report" he declared, 'abolishes
the Bureau of Efficiency. I do not un-
derstand why either the membership of
the House or the membership of the
Senate should subscribe to such a prop
osition. We have just two agencies that
are peculiarly advantageous to the Con-
gress of the Uaited States. One is the
Bureau Of Efficiency, established under
a Democratic administration. The other
is the controller generals office.
Aided Appropriations Study.
Both Of them are answerable to the
bidding Of this House and the Senate.
Each of them in my opinion has been
doing splendid service. That they have
created animosity, that they have
created bitterness on the part of those
upon whose Offices they have encroached
is perfectly natural, and because of that
poison has been dropped in the minds
of members Of this House and members
of the other house, possibly against the
chief Of the Bureau of Efficiency more
than anything else. He is an individ-
ual.
I'VE should not destroy this agency
II it Is good one, and it Is, because we
do not like the man at the head OF it.
Get rid of him and put some one else in
If you do not like him. There has not
Committee since the creation of this
Bureau of Efficiency but will subscribe
to the fact that it has been Of the ut
most advantage to the Committee on
Appropriations in saving millions Of
dollars to the United States Treasury.
IF time permitted could recite many
of these incidents that are beyond dis
pute. Martin Madden-peace to his
memory-said that without the Bureau
of Efficiency he did not know how we
could conduct the appropriation bills
and present them as they should be
presented to this House. know by rea-
son of my experience as chairman, and
Mr.. Byrns knows by reason Of his ex-
perience as chairman, that that bureau
has been Of the greatest aid to us, as
1t had been to Mr.. Madden"
Just how the work Of the Bureau OF
Efficiency can be performed by the
Budget Bureau Is question which puz-
zleS the efficiency experts. In the first
place, it was pointed out, the work Of
the Budget Bureau relates to the prep
aration Of the financial statements Of
receipts and expenditures and of annual
appropriation estimates. It's attention
Is given principally to studies and an
alysis Of the appropriation estimates
of the various Government establish
ments.
The major activity of the Efficiency
Bureau has to do with the organization
and procedure to be followed In accom-
plishing the work decided upon and ap-
proved by Congress in such way as to
achieve the greatest possible results with
the least expenditure of appropriations.
So with the transfer Of the Efficiency
Bureaus work to the Budget Bureau
without the transfer of its appropria-
tions and force, the Budget Bureau, it
was explained, will have neither the
personnel nor the means of employing
persons with the requisite training and
experience tn carry on the activities.
Especially at this time are such activ-
tiles regarded as Of utmost importance
to President Roosevelt In his reorganiza-
ton Of the Government establishments.

In Washington, as well as in yir-
