The Importance of
Healthy Kidneys
In the removal of waste material
from the body, the kidneys are
called upon to perform a very important-duty.
The failure of these
marvelous and delicately construct
ed organs to properly do their work
means retention in the system of
poisonous matter. This poisons the
system, and if permitted to remain
results in severe backache, headache,
torpid liver, constipation and other
serious ills. Warner's Safe Kidney
and Liver Remedy, a combination
of herbs and other healthful in
gredients, was discovered about 50
years ago, and its value in strength
ening the kidneys mid liver was at
once appreciated. Today it stands
as one of the standard remedies in
the treatment of disease of the kid
neys and liver. Many persons suf
fer from diseases of the kidneys un
knowingly. The use of Warner's
Safe Kidney and Liver Remedy will
invariably improve your health, and
make you feel that life is really
worth the living.

By PAUL GREER,
Lincoln, Aug. 2J. A firm of ef
ficiency engineer was engaged to
make a survey of the state admin
juration of Jowa in 191.1. The gov
ernment was to be considered as a
business enterprise in which each
citizen was a stockholder. The prob
lem to be worked out was how the
stockholders were to obtain the larg
est possible dividends in terms of ef
ficiency and economy.
When the final report came out. it
wa found to call for the consolida
tion of administrative duties under
seven departments. These efficiency
KUKiii-1 t ........7, .
a plan similar to that w hich was to be
adopted in Nebraska six years later.
Nothing came of the investigation
in Iowa, for the idea of simplifying
and systematizing government did
not appeal to the politicians in the
legislature. In the same year, how
ever, Illinois appointed a committee
on efficiency and economy which
came to the 6ame general conclusions

perts in Iowa.
Finds Inefficiency.
It found duplication in positions
and salaries, lack of correlation ana
co-operation between offices, failure
to fix responsiDiiuy, im w"
whieh to base appropriations and
general inefficiency which cost the
taxpayers dearly.
When Frank O. Lowdcn, a suc
cessful business man, came out for
governor of Illionis, he ran on a
platform calling for consolidation
and a budget system. "We have ac
quired the habit of late years of
creating a board or commission to
take care of government work," he
said. "We have assumed that it
something important was to be done
it would be best done by a body of
men, and not an individual. The fact
is as all who have had experience
in business of any kind know that
it is the individual who does things
and not a board or commission
There is no commission anywhere,
there is no board anywhere, that
does things affirmatively unless it is
dominated by one man, and the
only benefit of the other men is in
an advisory capacity.
Governor Lowdcn got results, lfe
abolished 125 boards and estab
lished nine departments instead. This
was the first civil administrative
code, and served as the model when
Nebraska started houseclcaning in
its state capitol.
Learn Folly of System.
In the same year that Iowa and
Illinois began their investigations, the
state legislature of Nebraska au
thorized a joint committee to find out
what was wrong with the administra
tive organization of this state, the
report, which was made the follow
ing vear. m 1914. recommended i
survey to work out a plan of consoli
dating offices and duties.
No immediate result followed, but
both Governors Moorehead and he-
ville, in their messages, urged the
adoption of a plan to wipe out the
innumerable boards that were clut
tering up public business. These two
were democrats, but hard experience
in office had taught them the folly
of thc system of boards and commis
sions that the democratic party is
endeavoring to force back on thc
state.
Under Governor McKelvie the re
form which Neville and Morehead
bad. urged was carried out. The re
publican platform of 1918 pledged
a simplified and consolidated govern
mcnt and a budget system, lnjis
was the civil administrative code es
tablished in Nebraska July 1, 1919.
Other States Follow.
Many other states since that time
have sought to get out from under
the burden of the political spoils sys
tem and put business methods in
government. Ohio, Idaho and Wash-

ington have succeeded in establishing
the code system. Massachusetts ha
a modified form by which the elec
tive constitutional officers act as the
bead of consolidated department.
'I his, however, has not worked satis
factorily, since one of the advantagts
of the real code system is that the
governor appoint the head of de
partments and is held responsible
for their conduct. New York, South
)).ikola, Missouri and South Carolina
are considering the code plan. Mary
land has a modified form.
Before the itate of Washington
conolidated its government, an ex
amination was made of the success
of the plan in Nebraska. Governor
L. Ilart claim that the code plan
saved $I,(XH),IMK) in it first year in
hi state. In addition there has been
increased efficiency, "l'ullv one-half
by time wa taken up with detail
matters that are now handled bv
clerks in the various departments,"
he says, "anil I am now free to de-
vote myself to a general supervision
of the state's business."
Many Inquiries.
Nebraska has attracted a great deal
of attention from officials and stu
dents of government all over the
United States. The governor of Vir
ginia writes to inquire about the op
eration of the budget system. Gov

few of the letter that come to thc

and interest in what Nebraska ha
accomplished in putting its govern

The same spirit lint is stirring in
state matters i to be seen in the
adoption of commission government

Lest Duplication.
A a result of the code system,
there is lets duplication and waste
in the government of Nebraska than
ever before. Laws are better enforc
ed, accounts are better kept and the
people know more about their gov
ernment than formerly.

necessary to understand the duties
performed by each code department
in order to realize the chaos that
would strike the state if the demo
cratic party should have it way and
