Radical steps looking to a more.efficient ad ministration of public affairs art being consid ered in Washington. The setting up of a com prehensive budget plan to deal with revenues and expenditures is all but assured. It has the endorsement of both parties in congress, and in some form will be adopted. When put into effect, its operations will necessitate certain changes in administration. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler advocates re moval of all bureaus and commissions save those having to do exclusively with collection and disbursement of revenues from the Treasury department, making , it exclusively a financial branch of the general government. Repre sentative Reavis.of Nebraska has a plan which will carry the Work of reforming the govern ment a little further. It is proposed by him that a Department of Public Works be estab lished, under which will be grouped all the bu reaus that have to do with the forwarding of the great projects the government undertakes continually. These bureaus are now scattered among the different departments, some of them being almost entirely foreign to the purpose for which the department itself was set up. Careful persons have long observed that the growth of our government has entailed a very unsatisfactory arrangement of duties and func tions at Washington. A readjustment is needed, and for the good of the public should be brought about. When a comprehensive budget plan is adopted, its working out will be facilita ted by a better location of the bureaus that spend the money. Some of the existing de partments may lose a little in importance and prestige by a .more appropriate and efficient distribution of their subdivisions, but if such a move will help out in transactions of public business, cut out duplication and overlaps, and minimize waste, it should be adopted without regard to the fe!ings of any cabinet officer. Omaha's Sturdy Financial Growth. Retirement of the active heads of three 1 of the leading banks of Omaha must naturally draw attention to the city's financial institu tions. That these have kept in line with the progress of the region they serve is evident. They have expanded as the monetary needs of the country around have increased, always maintaining a forward position but on a solidly conservative, basis. Shocks that have racked the country in times gene by have scarcely produced a tremor in the Omaha banks, so safely have they been conducted. . Yet, with all the security of sound business principles and careful management, these great agents of com mercial and industrial service have so func tioned as to efficiently aid in the marvellous growth of the empire of which they are part. Messrs. Barlow and Millard, who have just laid off the strenuous duties that come to the executive head of a great modern bank, have been financial advisers to two generations of business men. They have seen faith redeemed and well directed energy rewarded. Mr. Bost wick has been identified closely with the de velopment of the live stock industry in the west, and through his bank has assisted in bringing Omaha to its prominent place in the world as a packing center. ' These gentlemen have 'sur- rendered to Time, wisely providing for the continuance of the work they so well begun. As veterans in business they have earned a chance to rest ; Omaha's financial importance is a source of marvel to any who but studies the clearing house reports,, but to one who. is better acquainted with the city and its institutions, the fact contains no mystery. The banks here serve a wide territory, peopled -with pushing, energetic men, who are daily creating more ma terial wealth from raw material. It is the natural result of properly directed enterprise. United States and Scapa Flow. When Ambassador Wallace, on behalf of the United States and under instructions from the State department, declined to accept any part of the German shipping exacted as repara tion for the ships destroyed at Scapa Flow, he opened a new chapter in the settlement of the war. The German admiral who ordered the scuttling of the war ships held as hostages, al though he acted without orders, bound his country by his act. On this principle indemnity is demanded for the tonnage destroyed and Germany is required to surrender a consider able amount of material and equipment sorely needed at home. As to the justice of the pro ceedings no question is made. The final settlement is to be made by a commission now engaged in determining what the Germans can spare, but the allocation of the award between the victors is already made, the United States being allowed 2 per cent. This is respectfully declined. Reasons are not yet given out by the State department, but may be made known later. It is kaown, though, that the United States from the first favored the de struction of the surrendered naval vessels, re fusing to accept any of them as additions to the inavy. This may seem strange, when it is recalled that certain Spanish war vessels were added to the American navy in 1898. Those were ships taken in battle. The German war ships were abjectly surrendered. Perhaps the government feels such vessels would not form an honorable part of its sea defense. At any rate, the United States asked no part of the German navy at the beginning, and now seeks no part of the in demnity exacted for foolishness at Scapa Flow. Backward People Coining Forward. . Very few have ever thought of Morocco other than, in terms of romance. It is the land of the Moor, fierce warriors, burning suns, des ert wastes, and hinterlands from which come tales set in frames of arabesque, hidden courts, housetops, mosques and wadys. A few years ago William, lately the Sudden and now the Subdued, shot Morocco across the screen by using it as a stage for one of his prewar dra matic outbursts. Then it subsided into the mystery that has surrounded it so long. Now an American consul drags it forth again to ex hibit the fact that Morocco -is building up an industry and an export trade. Goods to the value of almost $100,000,000 were shipped out of the country in 1918, and $62,000,000 worth imported-. The Moor is finally become a useful member of the great family of nations. Among the stuff sent out is enumerated 6,913 hogs and 832 metric tons of salt pork. Shades of the Ptophetl But, if the infidel Giaours will eat pork, why should not a faithful Mussulman pro vide it, especially when it is so easily produced and so profitable to sell? One of the interest ing features is the purchase of American farm machinery for agricultural operations. 'Morocco is OA the cup it last, For a Budget System Statement by Nicholas Murray Butler before senate committee for consideration of a national budget January 12. The argument for a national budget system framed in accordance with the best modern theory and practice is unanswerable. It is gen-, erally understood that nothing now stands in the way of the speedy adoption of such a sysr tetn save a difference of opinion as to how a budget may be best prepared for submission to the congress. The real point is to make the president responsible for the budget, and whether his agency in its preparation be a bureau in the Treasury department or an inde pendent bureau, is a matter of subordinate im portance. Personally, I prefer a bureau in the Treausury department. The budget, however, is not an end in itself, but a means to a farther end. That end I conceive to be the establishment of a more complete understanding and co-operation be tween the executive and the legislative depart ments of'the government in the formulation of national policy and in the transaction of public business. During the paM 100 years we have frequently patched out, system of "governmental administration to meet emergencies, but w'e have never reconstructed it to meet our modern needs. The first essential is that the, important gov ernmental work of each year be regarded in and through a carefully classified budget. The pres ident should present his plans and recom mendations to the congress as a unit, and the congress should debate and pass upon them as part of a single well thought out plan. The chief political event of each year should be the presentation and adoption of the annual budget. Upon this the interest of the people and of the press, as well as of the congress, should and might be concentrated. There has been some argument of the point that the preparation of the budget should be a matter apart from poli tics. This could never happen in a democratic form of government. A budget is nothing but politics; itsis all politics. It is indeed the is sues of the last preceding campaign reduced to practice. Legislation for an adequate budget system will, I think, contain three distinct sets of provision first, those relating to the prepa ration and submission of the budget itself; second, those requiring the presence, of the heads of executive departments on the floor of congress at stated times to answer questions and give explanations relative to budget items falling within the scope of their several depart ments, and third, provision far an independent audit of all government expenditures, not only as to the correctness of their form, but as to their economic value, by a public auditor directly responsible to the legislative department of the government. ,. y In my. judgment, these three steps would es tablish the proper relation between the executive and the legislature. The legislature would be the responsible critic of the executive and would express its criticism through its control of the purse strings and of the methods of raising revenue. It would not deal with the executive departments at haphazard, on hearsay, or on the basis of newspaper paragraphs, but at first hand and face to face. Finally, it would have its own independent audit. My preference is to have all bureaus and activities not directly concerned with finance that may now, be in the Treasury department, transferred to other executive departments. The Treasury department should then be oonfined to the collection of the revenue, to its activities in connection with banking and currency, and to the preparation of the annual budget. I do Wot think any estimates whatever should be excluded from the budget, either those for the War and Navy departments, for pub lic buildings and grounds, for- the library of congress, for the supreme court, or for the legislative branch of the government. It is doubtless true that in practice, some, at least, of these estimates will not be treated in just the same way as those for other purposes, but it certainly will be a grave error to seem to divide the activities of the government, so far as the budget is. concerned, into two separate groups. Moreover, it may well be that at some given time the policy of a president or that of the party to which he belongs will largely turn upon questions of appropriations for the mili tary and naval establishments. I should omit nothing from the scope of the budget. Hold the president responsible, not for part of the ad ministration of the government, but for all of it When the budget has been submitted to the congress, I hope very much that the senate and the house will both provide for its detailed con sideration and examination by a single budget committee large enough to be representative of the whole house and of the whole senate without being so large as to become a town meeting. When the budget has been reported to the house or to the senate, I would then require the attendance of the heads of the sev eral executive departments at stated times, with the right to participate in debate on matters relating to the business of their departments under such rules as the senate and house re spectively may prescribe. I regard this as one of the most important steps to be taken in order to make budget legislation really effective and to bring the appropriations still more completely within the knowledge and under the control of the congress. As senators know,, this is an old proposal. The classic document on the subject is report No. 837, submitted to the 46th congress, third session, on February 4, 1881, by Senator Pendleton of Ohio, chairman of a select com mittee appointed to consider a bill (S. 227) to provide that the principal officer of each execu tive department may occupy.a seat on, the floor of the senate and house of representatives. This report, a most able and convincing document, was signed by Senators Pendleton of Ohio, Al lison of Iowa, Voorhees of Indiana, Blaine of Maine, Butler of South Carolina, Ingalls of Kansas, Piatt of Connecticut and Farley of California. There is about it no shadow of partisanship. It simply expresses a strong de sire to improve the practical working of our government in the way suggested. This report deals exhaustively with the constitutional, theoretical and practical objections that might be made to this departure. I cannot do better than ask senators to study that report. It is doubtful whether anyone could add to the force of its arguments. Coming at the close of a legislative session, it was never acted upon. This same proposal, when brought forward by Mr. Pendleton of Ohio 'in 1864, at which time he was a member of congress, was vigorously supported then by Mr. Garfield and Mr. Blaine." It was renewed by the late John D. Long of Massachusetts when he was a member of the house of representatives in 1886. It has several times been publicly supported by President Taft An independent audit under control of the congress. Provision for an independent audit complete the scheme of budget legislation which commends itself to my judgment. Care must be taken not to let the public audit develop . into a source of purely political criticism and at tack.' It should be strictly a business office to inform the congress as to whether the moneys that had been appropriated had' been expended not only in accordance with law, but wisely and well. Waste and extravagance which might es cape detection at the time when appropriations are made would almost certainly be detected in the ' public audit. It would be a great step forward if in con nection with the establishment of the budget system congress were to continue the provisions of the Overman act approved May 20, 1918, "authorizing the president to co-ordinate or consolidate the executive bureaus, agenctes and offices, and for other purposes, in the interest of economy and the more efficient concentration of the government" and would strike out the two limitations now contained in the act so that the president would be free to propose in his budget a complete, an effective and a modern reorganization of the machinery for conducting ths goy.erumeflt'a businey, t , Word for General Wood.

To the Kditor of The Bee: Max Scott writes against the candidacy of General Wood for president on the reDUbllrnn tirknt. anil libo manv on. other, bases his objection to the nenerai on ma ract that he- is a military man. Now ifGeneral Wood is a military mad, then almost any man that could be nominated would be a military man. President Me- Kinlev was then n mlHtnru ,ndn e also was the greatest president this couniry nas Known Tor many, many years, Theodore Roosevelt. Gen eral Wood began ' his career as a practicing physician, and in that he made a great success. He began his military career aa a medical officer in the army, and his ability was soon recognized by Roosevelt, and he was advanced rapidly. - General Wood has shown his administrative ability in Cuba, and if he is nomina ted for the presidency, which I sin cerely hope he will be, he will be elected by a great majority and the country will then have a man at It? head who is A. 00 per cent American and a man who .will consider Amer ican interests above all others. In fact, we will have a man similar in every respect to Roosevelt, and one who will fear n man and who can not be dictated to by any group of politicians. W. M. PURCE. Does Not Ajreo With' Mr. Baker. Edgar, Neb.. Jan. 13, 1919. To the Editor of the Bee: I have been read ing an article In The Bee written by Ray Stannard Baker, headed. "Un healthy Condition Among Workmen the Real Cause for Unrest." Now it looks to me that Mr. Baker Is writ ing more in the Interest of the sa loon and the liquor interests than to better the condition of the laboring man, and his article has the tone of a radical, for he says deportation of the radicals is not a cure, I suppose he would leave them here to work up a conspiracy to overthrow the government. I say if these ignorant foreigners cannot live here and be peaceable they should every one "of tnem ne sent DacK where they came from. ! Speaking of the workmen at Gary he says a few are Americans, highly skilled and well paid, own ing their houses and have a few shares of stock In the corporation, but the majority are unskilled for eigners there are 42 different, na tionalities, speaking 20 or 80 dif ferent languages. The majority of them work 12 hours a day and seven days in a week. I awould ask Mr. Baker how many successful farmers there are In this country that does not work 12 hours a day and seven days in a week? Ha says the work in the steel industr is hard and they cannot stand it to work so many hours a day. Well, If after they find that the work is harder than they can stand let them quit and get out In the country where work is easy and be a producer in stead of a consumer. I know of poor foreigners who have come to this state with no money and In a few years have got to own 80 acres of land and were well fixed. But they made It by hard work and economy, not by laying around sa loons spending their money during the days when they were not - at work. Mr. Baker says prohibition Is a cause of 'unrest. Here is where he gets In his work for the liquor In terest. He would have plenty of saloons in these . manufacturing towns, so the workrjan would have a place to spend their money and drown their trouble and their chil dren go In rags. He says alcohol is. the great deadener of human trouble and human ambition. - I agree with him on this one point, but the workman that gets soused with It Is not In shape for the next day's work.

' odds' (OT7l&r Sports that Make Men P Athletics ' Basket Ball Team Play. By H. O. (PAT) PAGE. Team work is the cornerstone of success in basket ball, as in every other game. It means the working out of the best system of play for the whole team. It means that every man must fit himself into that sys tem. The team must think and move as one man. Several systems of play have been worked out. . The lone star system is built upon the speed, endurance and all-round brilliance of one man. He plays the floor and works the ball into his op ponent's territory, where either, he or one of the forwards who stay near their opponent's basket can get a shot. To do this he must be very good at dribbling. The other four men play territory, two as station ary forwards and two as rough guards who lay back and fight all opposition. The drawback to this system is that if the star is stopped the' whole team is stopped. The two-pivot man system uses three speedy floor men who play the ball rather than territory, two rangy, The .All Round Girl Rtd Ghttkt and Pep . IH Say So.

The stationary forward is fed the ball at every op portunity. This system of play usu ally calls for a pretty extensive use of the long pass. In the short pass system four or five men play the ball. This system requires the quick, stocky, shifty type of player with tremendous, en durance. One tall, rangy guard usu ally plays under the basket to break up opponents play and dig out the ball. Then his four teammates by a series of short, fast passes work it back up the floor. This short pass game must be fast to be successful! The five-man defense system uses the whole team as a defensive combi nation. It goes on the theory that if your opponents can't get any bas kets they can't win, while you may be able to put in a lucky basket or two. Men play territory. Quick moving and ability to intercept the ball without fouling is necessary. The presence of five men in guard territory makes it necessary for the opponents to take long shots. The danger of this sort of game is the tendency to play the man and not the ball. This results in a great number of fouls. (Next week begins a series of ac robatic stunts.) Copyright, 1820, by" J. H.
