EMPLOYMENT HERE IS AIM In Reviewing Work Accomplished In Xew York, Speaker Tells of Ex travagance and Graft T-n-covered by Probers. It used to cost the City of New Tork $2.21 to buy and install an iron coat hook the kind, that the ordinary cm sen can buy for 6 cents then the Bu reau of Municipal Research got busy and the cost was cut down to a. rea sonable fiifuro. Whether or not similar economies tan be effected here in Portland was the subject that received serious con sideration from 42 leading citizens of the city after listening to an address on "How We Did It In New York," by W. H. Allen, famous efficiency expert and director of the bureau, at the Com mercial Club last night. The leading citisens thought so well of the plan outlined by Mr. Allen that a committee was appointed to confer with him on the proposal of keeping him here until after the municipal pri mary election on May 3. This commit tee is composed of W. B. Ayer, chair man: A. H. Devers, C. 8. Jackson, James B. Kerr, A. Feldenhelmer and Kingman Brewster. Mr. Allen made it plain from the start that he doesn't want the people ' of Portland to confuse his efforts with the proposed commission government charter which will be submitted to the voters at the election on May S. Sev eral of those present tried to draw him out on this subject, but he refused to commit himself. Proof of Efficiency Aim. "What we propose to show," he de clared, "is how greater efficiency can be accomplished. Whether you want to accomplish It under your present gov ernment or whether you want to change your form of government is for you to decide. We only show you the facts. The people themselves will do the thinking. We will present the facts to the people in concrete form so that they can understand them and apply them to every day life." In New York, he explained, the suc cess of the bureau was due almost en tirely to the fact that the affairs of government were presented to the people in such manner that the man of only ordinary education could grasp and comprehend them. That la how the purchase of the coat hangers came to be presented In such a prominent way. But the coat hanger item was only - one of many hundreds that the bureau used to impress upon the people that there was great extravagance if not graft In the affairs of thlir municipal government. At first the city officials were in clined to scoff at and to obstruct the efforts of the bureau. Then they be pan to take a more kindly attitude. - Finally came co-operation, then so- . licitation. "Good results started to come at soon as we entered the field," he said. "The very fact that we were active had a tendency to stir up the city of lictals. They became eager to have us investigate. Soon they were ready to present the facts themselves. Machine-Controlled Ctty. "For a long time the privilege of do ing business with the City of Now York was controlled by a machine. They naa lb amerent ways of diverting a legitimate bidder from securing busi ness. Then, if a man secured business In spite of such system thejs. had eight miierent ways ot preventing a man from getting his money. Hundreds of , thousands of dollars remained in the city treasury because the people to whom it was due didn't know how to overcome the obstacles In the way of getting it. "After we entered the field we in troduced a method ot standardising salaries, ot standardising supplies, of standardizing contracts and specifica tions, of studying the administration of the police department which had In vited favoritism." For a long time, and until a few years ago. explained Mr. Allen, the : people of New York didn't know what their municipal debt was. The bureau 1 Instituted a research and presented the - figures. They found that an item ot . $10,000,000 which was being carried as . a debt really had been paid. The money that had been appropriated for paying this supposed debt was diverted back to public use. Support Given Good Officials. "You can't measure a public official, lie continued, "by what he is or what lie says he is going to do. The prin cipal difference between a good of ' flcial and a bad one is in the thing done. If we find that a man Is making soon we must give mm our support ; so that it will be worth while." ; Publicity, he asserted, is a great factor in promoting municipal eftici- vncy. The public must be Informed of ' the facts by a non-partisan press. The ' newspapers of the City of New York first were apathetic toward the re search work. Now they are giving; it ' merited attention. The work in New York is supported , by public contributions. The big bank ing houses, such as Morgan's, the Na tional City. First National. Kuhn-Loeb and others are among the principal supporters. About 16 men pay nine tenths of the cost. The city itself has contributed at various times, but Mr. Alien discourages publio support. "You can't maintain your impersonal relations." he asserted, "when you ac cept money from the source of your In vestigation," But this rule doesn't apply to actual contributors to the fund in New York. A contributor once wanted a report suppressed, but he was reminded that he couldn't "swap suppression for fi nancial support."

TACOMA, March 11. -Conservative Socialists representing more than 100 state locals and about 1000 of the (700 dues-paying members of the Socialist party in Washington tonight formed a separate political organization. This action ended the final session of the state convention here today when the radical organization which, throughout had demonstrated it had the upper hand, denounced as a "dues-paying or ganization to maintain the I. W. W. in its wild theories," and its leaders branded as anarchists. The new party styles itself simply the Socialist party of the State of ashington. The radicals, knowing that the con servatives were seeking to precipitate a bolt, declined to recognize H. B. Mar tin, of Spokane, a former minister, who had been assigned to bring on the split. Crista la Precipitated. Another conservative, F. A. Sherman, of Mason County, gained a hearing, however, and brought -on the crisis, de claring that a small faction of anaroh ists would make the qualifications for the party such that no self-respecting man would enter it," and adding: "If I've got to make myself ashamed of myself to vote, I won't vote In the party. I'll get out." Millard Price, of Seattle, chairman of the afternoon, took up the gage. am a Socialist," he shouted. "I be lieve in economic revolution.

All laws are made by the dominant class for the purpose of oppressing the working class. The true Socialist will only obey as many laws as will be sufficient to keep him out of Jail." The platform approved by the new party asserts that "class struggle does not mean class hatred," and centers in the fact of exploitation and not in the mere possession of a little party."
