PRESIDENT GETS PLEA OF FRUIT PRODUCERS Protest of Acid Wash Used on Ap- ples, Held Detrimental, Sponsor- ed by Growers. That made jury compulsory By the Associated Press. Letters asserting that the present Department of Agriculture regulation requiring acid washing of apples is proving extremely detrimental to western fruit growers and undermin- ing administration support in that section, have been presented to Presi- dent Coolidge by Senator Waterman, Republican, Colorado. One of the Jetters, which came from Senator Waterman's constituents, said that *“contrary to Secretary Jardine's insistent statements that acid does not harm apples, it is an indisputable fact that shipments * * ¢ are being rejected at markets daily be- cause the acid accelerates deteriora- tion and the apples arrive unfit for sale. “And that “resentment against the administration amounts to politi- cal insurrection.” ““This order,” another sald, “had al- ready cost apple growers millions of dollars, and if continued through an- other season would seem practically to ruin the apple industry in the West.” Increased grazing fees and “failure to provide a sufficient onion tariff” also were cited as making for politi- ca) dissatisfaction in the Western section.

And it is learned on good authority at the Bureau of Efficiency that those of its recom- | mendations which are not adopted by the Commissioners and which are he- lieved important w1l be brought be fora the appropriation committees of Congress and urged for adoption there. Naturally, this procedure has not awakened any keen enthusiasm at the District Building. Instead of working with the bureau to corvect any faults found, the city government necessarily has been placed in a defensive mood. The Commissioners want to know what is wrong in an establishment for which they are responsible, but the only in timation they have that something might be wrong is afforded by the tales which reach their ears that the hureau's investigators this day ap peared in the depirtment of Mr. So and-8o and proceeded to ‘g thror his papers. erossexamine his assist ants and jot down mysterious nota- tions in their notebooks.

Mr. John Doe, for in stance, head of a di ion of the Jo- cal government, has for vears heen perfecting himself on the details of its routine and feels that he knaws his office like a book. Suddenly he is appraised of the fact that two young men from the Bureau of F ciency have appeared, and meet them, he is informed that he is to lay all his office machinery open for their inspection, while he himseif and his assistants are put through a series of questions concerning their work. | Then the experts withdraw and with. | out further ado make up their report the substance of which s unknown to Mr. John Doe. Mr. John Doe nat- urally lies awake at night and won- ders whether he is as good as he thought he was and whether the rveport will disclose that he is an in- | competent official who is nothing but a drone in the heehive of govern. ment. When the report is delivered he is naturally antagonistic, for he is human. He feels that anythin found wrong in his office is a rvflo(‘-‘ ome, the Commis: interest for they they ners wait the outcome. know will receive the investi learn for the tors tion on himself. and his chief desire is to re-establi of his superiors was right and the hureau wrong. On the other hand. a Mr. John Smith, a subordinate in the office of Mr. John Doe, has always had ideas that he could run the office much bet- ter than can Mr. Doe. Mr. John Smith is chronically afflicted with | ideas. some of which may be very sound, hut he has never been able to impress their merit ‘upon Mr. Doe When the Bureau of Efficiency inves. tigators appear, however, he sees the chance for a long-lost opportunity, and he spills his ideas into the ears of | the Bureau of Efficiency investigators. | In the first place, it must he borne in mind that an investigator who investi- | Rates an office and finds nothing | wrong is not such a whale of an in- | vestigator, and the investigators of | the Bureau of Efficiency are only hu man. Therefore, they are willing and | anxious to receive suggestions from anyhody who ean point to something wrong. or that looks wrong.

This may result, in many instances, in bringing into effact some changes which Mr. John Doe should long ago have recognized as being worth while. | At the same time it is not designed as | an effective method of upholding dis- | cipline or of building an esprit de corps | among the workers in Mr. Doe's office. But there is another : ngle from the Bureau of Efficiency’s viewpojnt which should receive attention.

The Bureau of Efficiency was called upon to investigate the Traftic rean.

Whether there is an implied threat in this statement depends upon the point of view But discounting altogether the harm or the good that will come to the Dis- trict as a result of the Bureau of Efficiency’s widespread activities, there is no doubt that the bureau's procedure has differed from that con- templated at first at the District Whether it has differed from that planned at the Capitol re mains to be seen. The Commissioners ant Summer devoted to ma selves more thcroughly with their tasks, of the machinery under their care and of improving it if they found it in need of improvement. They ex pected that the bureau would stand by as an able and willing ally, to he called in when needed for consulta tion or specizl investigation for which the bureau might be bette: equipped than are the Commissioners. Instead, they have witnessed the Bureau of Efficlency darting abont hére and there in the Distriet Building, making its investigations and drawing up its and at time maintaining a sort of secrecy about the whole thing that places the Commissioners and their government in the position of being guilty until proved innocent. Instead of a co operative endeavor to right any wrongs that might be found, the Com missioners and the Bureau of Ef ciency working hand in hand to that end, the real condition today is that the bureau has taken over the job of reorganizing the District ment and of forcing their recommenda tions upon the Commissioners. In stead of occupying the role of assist ants to the District Commissioner: the authorized heads of the District government, the Burean of Efficiency investigators have taken it upon them selves to tell the Commissioners what to do. In effect, there comes into ex istence another city governing agency Writes to Bureau. Some citizen is mot pleased with the Distriet government and feels that he has a grievance.
