PUBLIC FUNDS WASTED

A classic illustration of the habitual
waste of public funds at the behest of
bureaucrats and their congressional sup
porters was presented by Senator Fess of
Ohio, in referring to the valuation bureau
of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
This bureau was organized in pur-
suance of an act of Congress approved
March /, 1913, for the avowed purpose of
determining the value of all railroad prop
erty in the United States, in order that
such valuation might be used for rate
making purposes; also to disclose whether
the railroads were paying dividends on
Watered stock.
Referring to this 21-year-old bureau,
Senator Fess said: ITO date the bureau
has accomplished almost nothing and the
cost has been upwards of 500, 100000. 1t
is true that the bureau has placed valua-
tions on many Of the railroads as of the
year 1914, but what good does that do us
in 1894. when so many changes have taken
place that the old valuations are useless?"
The hundred million of expense noted
by the senator refers only to the cost to the
government. Even greater expense has
been placed upon the railroad lines them
selves, through requiring them to furnish
massive volumes of data which were OBJ
soIete almost before they could be finally
compiled. All Of this expense was ulti-
mately borne by the public, of course.
either through taxation or railroad rates.
Still new bureaus are created and the
old ones are extended by every Congress,
TO keep pace with the Unsuitable demand of
certain groups for more regulation. inspec-
ton and investigation of the harassed citi-
zen and taxpayer. And no end to this sort
Of thing appears 10 be in sight.

The native of this day is suave

no sleep will be lost because of

reports that tell stories of distress
and decay. Of closed schools, of
bankrupt school districts, Of falling
revenues and increasing enroll
ments, are on the desks Of state di-
rectors OF educations almost from
coast to coast in the United States.
Concern Of professional educators
has grown into alarm. Calls for help
have been met only in part or have
been unheard of IN the general eco
nomic turmoil.
In desperation, an effort will be
made to bring the tell-tale facts to
wider attention of laymen, of par
ents and of citizens in a conference
at Ohio university April 5 and 6.
The citizens conference on the
crisis in education" is a laymens
conference to seek means to give
at least as effective educational ad-
vantages as present-day adults
have had" to children now deprived
of schooling.
Figures Tell Sad Story
Statistics gathered by educational
leaders show q.
Five thousand or more schools are
closed. More than 100000 children
of public schools are entirely with
out educational opportunity or have
only limited school terms. Enroll
ments have increased 100000 in
three years and revenues have
dropped more than 100000.
New and improved school methods
can not be instituted, old and tat
tered books are used, buildings are
falling in disrepair, school debts are
mounting European schools excel
those of America,
Governor George White will open
the conference, sponsors Of which
have remained virtually anonymous
so that the clear-cut issues involved
may not be obscured by thoughts of
personal credit.
Governor Paul V. McNutt Of In
diana will discuss the obligation Of
the state. George F. Zook, federal
education commissioner, will present
the picture from national view
point.
