"Ouick improvement in the methods cf operating the National Government arc necessary, for the situation is bad now and is rapidly growing worse," .-aid Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, New York, as he spoke yesterday noon before the Progressive Business Men's Club at the Oi'cpron grill. Mr. Butler's talk was a business one, Ftraigrht from the shoulder to the young business men of Portland on The Relation of Business to Govern ment." "The time has come when a change is necessary. We have got to have ef ficiency, economy and business respon sibility in the operation of our Na tional Government," continued Mr. Butler. Aldrleh Statement Recalled. "When the late Senator Aldrich de clared one time in the Senate that along business lines and under business methods, if he had full control of the operation of the American Government lie could save yearly $300,000,000, we were all astounded, and I asked him later if he meant that statement mere ly as a figure of speech. He said em phatically 'No.' And he went on to explain and showed where the Na tional Government is spending mil lions where a business man would save. It's like overhead expense, and every business man is watching that, you know. "Continually new demands are being made on our Government and more still will be made. This means greater taxation to cover these new demands. There must be a solution somewhere, but the only proposals we ever hear about are 'economize, economize, and this cry is generally heard about the month of November. "You business men of Portland must use your influence collectively to bring about a change in our Government. This holds true with state, county and city government. Iludgct Syntena NcceMItT. "The budget system is a necessity. The- question is, are the sums appro priated and used in efficient, econom ical ways, without overlapping? "We have agents galore and commis sions and bar boards too numerous to mention. Why, do you know that at the recent New York Constitutional convention it was revealed that there were 160 boards, commissions and de partments, each a center of dispensing moneys, each with its corps of clerks and whatnots, and it was the conven tion aim to reorganize these 160 dis tinct bodies under one head with a commissioner appointed by the Gov ernor, and thus organize the people's business as a personal business. "The tyranny of a balance jheet stares many a business man in the face. America's Greatest Needs Told. "What we need here in America im mediately is a higher standard in the conscientious expenditure of the pub lic funds; a higher standard in pro posals for friends and for locations when it all should be done for the public good and a higher understand ing of what the words 'public in terests' really mean. These are America's greatest needs. Reed Episode Cited. "I'll right here cite a little episode which took place in the rooms of the late Speaker of the House, Thomas B. Reed. I was calling when it was announced that three prominent busi-r-esa men from Reed's district in Muine uished to see him. I started to leave, tut he waved rr.e to my seat again nnd the three men were ushered in. They sal 3 they looked to him to see that the bill passed the House which would give Portland, Me., port an other lightship, incurring an expense of $300,000. Mr. Reed told them they already had so many lights in the port, that every shir was in danger of going ashore to avoid them. 'Why. but don't you understand, Mr. Reed,' they said, 'this bill has passed the Senate due entirely to the efforts of Senator Frye?' 'Yes, I understand,' yald Reed, but that i3 one of Frye's little ways. He knew you wouldn't get it here.' "o. gentlemen, that is the situation which, as I say, has been growing worse .instcni of better. Of course, we will meet with the eynlc who will say this scheme is all right in theory, but won't work out in practice. Of V course, it won't if we don't try. We've sot to make the change and it is the business man on whom the task rests. Even the name oC the Progressive Business Men's Club is a good omen." Following the address, Frank H. Hilton, on behalf f the club, pre sented a book on the Columbia Highway and several photograpns of the high way to Mr. Butler, after which a rising vote of thanks was given. Harry Scougall, basso cantante, sang two solos, accompanied at the piano by Harold Hurlburt. Jacob Kanzler, secretary of th civic bureau of the Chamber of Commerce and a graduate of the Columbia Tjfxw Schooi, was chairman of the day. Mr. Butler took a trip over the Co lumbia Highway yesterday morning. Taeoma Will Welcome Iieader. T A COM A. March 16. (Special. ) Members of the Young Men's Republi can Club are planning a rousing wel come for Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler when he speaks at the Commercial Club here tomorrow noon. CITY TO TEST CONCRETE Ciioiuists Will Try Out Samples From Bridge Work. To guarantee the proper mixing of concrete in municipal construction work. City Chemist Dulin has arranged a system of tests of a nature not heretofore attempted. On the concrete viaducts to be built next Summer samples of the concrete as it is being used will be taken and compressed into cubes. Samples of properly mixed con crete will be prepared in the city laboratories and the two samples will be allowed to set, and will then be tested together. In this way, Mr. Du lin says, it will be possible to deter mine whether or not the concrete used on the job was properly prepared. Tests will also be made to determine the comparative strength of concrete made with crushed rock and that made with .gravel. Waists $l-25 As Illustrated.
