Official Washington as Franklin K. Lane Sees It
WASHINGTON.—Official Washington, “a combination of political caucus,
drawing-room and civil service bureaus,” containing “statesmen who are
politicians and politicians who are not statesmen,” is poorly organized for
" its task, which “fewer men of larger
I w nhcp capacity would do better.”
Mlo Such is an epitome of the views
(vi Nn Franklin K. Lane, retiring secret
n qirui- tary of the interior, expressed in a
characteristic parting report to the
president on the occasion of leaving
public life after more than twenty
years’ service1—the last seven in the
cabinet.
“Washington,” says the retiring
secretary, “is rich in brains and char
acter. It is honest beyond any com
mercial standard. It wishes to do everything that will promote the public
good. But it is poorly organized for the task that belongk to it.
“Fewer men of larger capacity would do the task better. Ability is not
lacking, but it is pressed to the point of paralysis because of an infinitude,
of details and an unwillingness on the part of the great body of the public
servants to take responsibility. Everyone seems to be afraid of everyone.
“We could save money for the government if we had more discretion as
to how we should use that given us. For the body of the civil servants there
ghould be quicker promotion or discharge and a sure insurance when disa
Jdlity comes. For the high administrative officers there should be salaries
twice as high as those now given, and they should be made to feel that they
are the- department; the head being merely an adviser and a constructor of
policies.”
Goodness! How Department Employees Do Count Up
THE city of Washington, capital of the nation, has a population of 437,414,
according to the first returns of the 1920 census made public, an increase
of 106.345 since 1910.
More important than this increase, —
however, in the minds of patriotic
Washingtonians is the fact that SjkjfjJomiHfi
Washington passed Cincinnati in pop- HQyy
ulatioii, the new population figures for
the Ohio city given out simultaneous
ly being 401,158. o
In 1910 Cincinnati Was the -thir- Jl^j'Vdsz,
teenth American city and Washington
ranked sixteenth. Of course the nu
merical rank of cities cannot be 0 j . /
known until all the returns are in. -o>a^K
The war has been largely respon
- sible for Washington’s increase, which is generally regarded as permanent, it
having been estimated in 1918 rhat the war-time population of the capital had
passed the half-million mark. The present figure, it is believed by experts,
represents permanent growth.
In 1916 the census estimate for Washington was 363,980 and for Cincin
nati 410.476. For Cincinnati, therefore, the cotint shows a falling off of 9,000
since 1916, while Washington shows a gain over the estimate of 73,434.
Cincinnati’s population, according to the 1919 census, was 363,591, the
population gain according to the figures of 1920 being only 37.567.
Washington—which territorially is the same thing as the District of Co
iumbia—in 1917 had 26&.881 whites and 100,601 negroes.
Whaddymean by Saying "Maple Sugar^ These Days?
THE sugar shortage and the approach of “sugar weather” led department
of agriculture experts to make the statement that many thousands of
American farmers throughout a region comprising more than a score of
states in the eastern and northeastern
part of the United States, are over
looking opportunities to get maple su
gar and sirup for home use, as well, as
for sale, at very little cost.
While Americans commonly think
of the maple sugar industry as eon
» fined largely to circumscribed areas
I in New England and New York, there
j are, as a matter of fact, mafty po
! tential “sugar bushes” in the region
extending as far south as North Carolina and 'Tennessee and westward to
northern Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota, as well as in Oregon and Washington.
In a good Season a tree 15 inches in diameter will yield sufficient sap to
make from one to six quarts of sirup, which in turn can be concentrated into
two to ten pounds of sugar.
Discovery was made by government investigators of many groves of sugar
maples in North Carolina, one of which is probably larger than any now to
be found in New England. The owners, being unaware of the value of the
trees from the maple sugar standpoint, had begun cutting them for lumber at
an average return of less than $1 a tree.
Last season, upon suggestion of government experts, these groves were
tapped and yielded sirup that sold for $4 a gallon. Revelation of the potential
value of the groves induced the owners to plan more extensive operations for
