WRITE TO THESE MEN. The chief ileucts, or places where waste is apparei. t in the conduct of the business of the government, that 1 have pointed out in these articles, have lieen, first, the excessive propor tion of the government income that went for military expenditures; sec ond, the chaotic condition and lack of adequate supervision and control of expenditures, which have been in part remedied by the introduction of the budget system ; and third, the hap hazard organization of the govern ment departments and the unorgan ized condition that prevailed in gov ernment employment. ' The remedy for two of these condi tions I have treated briefly In the two immediately preceding articles. 1 come now to the matter of reorganiza tion of the departments and the re classification of government em ployees. A beginning has been made on both of these matters. A joint committee of the two houses of congress, with Walter F. Brown as chairman, is studying the whole ques tion of organization of the government and the function of the various de partments and bureaus and Independ ent establishments. I cannot too strongly advise you to keep yourself In contact with the work that joint committee is doing. I have given you the names of the members of the committee in another article but I will repeat them here. They are Senators Smoot of Utah, Wadsworth of New York and Harrison of Mississippi; Representatives Reavis of Nebraska, Temple of Pennsylvania and Moore of Virginia. Write to any of them or to Mr. Brown, the chair man of the committee, who represents the President, with headquarters In the house olllce building here at Wash ington. This Is the third or fourth attempt that has been made to effect a general reorganization of the conduct of the business of the executive departments. They have all failed through lack of Interest. There was lack of public in terest, and consequently lack of inter est in congress. 1 This joint committee Is at work now. It Is collecting facts. It Is finding out the actual condition. It is studying the departments. Presently It will make a report to congress. If you will show an active, insistent interest In the work that it is doing, congress will take action. If you do not show this Interest, there is every chance In the world that no action will be taken, and that things will remain much as ever. Hundreds of special Interests are clamoring for the attention of con gress. All of them are organized. Most of them keep representatives here at Washington. They present to individual members of congress In a hundred skillful, shrewd, subtle ways arguments to support the legislation they are seeking to advance. It would take two or three columns of this newspaper merely to print a list of the organizations and associations that are here to keep congress mindful of their interests. In this great clamor the common public Interest Is likely to be sub merged. In fact, too often it has been submerged. Tlds matter of economies anil reorganizing the business tf the government and taking up the tedious details of administration Is n dull busi ness. It has been neglected and put off time after time because of a lack of public interest and driving fore behind It. If you will supply this driving force now and display a sustained interest, you can at least put the business of government of the United States on an efficient basis. Congress has been negligent because you have been negli gent, but now at last the thing has run along so far that something must be done about It. DR. A. D.
