WHY GOOD MEN QUIT
Go today Into the Treasury depart
ment, the Department of Agriculture,
the Department of Commerce, or into
any other establishment of the govern
ment doing important technical work,
and they will tell you that their chief
difficulty Is to retain competent em
ployees in the supervisory and tech
nical positions. Their turnover is ab
normally high in those positions.
Every day men leave tiie service
to accept private employment at ma
terially increased salaries, so that the
departments are continuously going
through a process of selecting and
training executives and technical em
ployees, only to lose them, as they be
come really valuable, on account of
the inadequacy of their compensation.
The second factor which contrib
utes to the present ineffectiveness of
the government as a business estab
lishment is found In the improper or
ganization of the executive branch of
the government for effective service.
You are familiar, at least in a general
way, with the defects of the present
administrative machinery.
You know for example, that the In
terior department now has jurisdiction
over a great number of bureaus of a
miscellaneous character that have
nothing to do with each other or with
the functions which the Interior de
partment was originally established to
perform.
You know that many agencies have"1
been located in the Treasury depart
ment, the great fiscal department of
the government, which are purely non
fiscal in character, such as the coast
guard, the public health service, the
supervising architect's office and the
bureau of war risk insurance.
You know that the great bulk of
the civil public works of the govern
ment are executed under the super
vision of the War department, although
the bureau of public roads is located
In the Department of Agriculture, and
the reclamation service in the Depart
ment of the Interior.
You know, furthermore, of the in
dependent existence outside the juris
diction of any of the great executive
departments of some 40-odd boards,
commissions, ollices and bureaus.
These are merely examples of a con
dition that would require volumes to
describe fully, but it is generally
known that the executive brunch of the
government is at the present time 11
logically and uncconomically organ
ized in many important particulars.
It should be remembered, however,
that even with an ideal personnel and
a' perfect organization it is doubtful
if the high degree of economy and
elliciency that characterizes .private
business can ever be attained in the
government ollices. This is so because
economies made by government ofli
cials are not transformed into divi
dends for themselves as they are in
private business.
There is an impression, in congress
and throughout the country that men
of great ability are not found in gov
ernment service; that the salaries are
not sutlicient to attract and hold them.
On the contrary, there are a great
many people of distinguished ability
In the government service. One is
more and more impressed by that fact,
especially since the war sent to Wash
ington so many men of large means
and famous names with whom the
government employees could be com
pared. The comparison was time and
again to the advantage of the govern
ment employee. Iiut the salaries are
not the attraction ; It is the work it
self. Tills is well understood by some
eminent observers of public life. Sec
retary of Stale Hughes declared him
self as follows before the advisory
Committees of the war risk insurance
bureau :
It has been my experience t Im t with

partment finally depends Tt,ene men are
little known. The public haun t tune even
to learn their names. They are interested
In work to a deijree of beiritf willing to
make sacrifices.
There is active competition for men of
brains and isn-at ability of that sort, and i
the government will never b! served un
less it pays the price for thoiw men. Now
I think that Is a plain situation. You
