BUREAU REORGANIZATION
PLANNED BY CONGRESS
* Departments of Public Works and
Public Welfare May Be Created
In Place of Interior.
Washington, Nov. 14.—Complete re
organization of the Government execu
tive departments is contemplated by
the incoming Republican administra
tion as among its first moves for-bet
terment.
Among the chief moves in bringing
this about are the aboliton, of the De
partment of the Interior and the crea
tion of a Department of Public Works
and a Department of Public Welfare,
with the head of each in the cabinet.
For this great change Senator
Medill McCormick, of Illinois, will in
troduce a bill at the beginning of the
final session of the present Congress
next month. He has worked out a
comprehensive plan.
The functions of the Interior De
partment have become somewhat mini
mized if not obsolute. With the de
velopment of the W.est, the General
Land Office is not what it used to be.
Nor is the Office of Indian Affairs. The
Bureau of Pensions has been some
what superseded by the War Risk.
It is believed by McCormick that the
Geological Survey, the Reclamation
Service and the Bureau of Mines
should be transferred to a Department
“* of Public Works. To this he would
add the river and harbor work now
^ dpne by the War Department, and
such other bureaus as would fit in.
To the Department of Public Wel
fare he would give the Bureau of
Education, the functions of which
would be greatly enlargedthe Wo
men’s Bureau in the Department of
Labor, all units which touch upon the
condition of women and children, and
other and newer functions.
While it is true that all bureaus and
departments of the Federal Govern
ment are supposed to subserve the
public welfare, and while the suggest
ed name of Department of Public Wel
fare may be different when the law is
finally enacted by Congress, this De
partment will take over all the social
work of the Government, including the
Bureau of War Risk.
It is the idea of the Republican
party leaders to develop good roads as
much as possible, and this would be
one of the chief duties of the Depart
ment of Public Works. The depart
ment which Senator Harry New, of
Indiana, had in mind for the develop
ment of aircraft, would probably be
carried out in the Public Works end,
though probably reduced to a bureau.
With full power in the House, Senate
and presidency, the Republicans in
Congress are looking forward to a con
structive program. During the past
year and a half they have been handi
capped by a majority of only two in
the Senate, an* by a President and
cabinet wholly at variance with them.
But after the 4th of March they will
be able to carry their views into full
effect. Thus one of the first measures
to go through, and probably without
change, will be the budget bill. This
was vetoed by President Wilson be
cause it slightly diminished his power;
that is it made subject to the will of
Congress the taxing and appropriat
ing power of the Government, the
auditor general who would see to the
prevention of waste through overlap
ping estimates.
It is likely, too, that now that the
Republicans ‘are coming into full
power they will see that there will be
an entire reclassification of the Gov
ernment departmental clerks, and in
fact of all employees of the Govern
ment. Some of -the salaries paid are
at the same rate as in 1890. Then,
too, the departments are notoriously
out of date in many of their methods.
This fact, together with the incom
petency, waste and high-handedness
of the Wilson administration from top
to bottom, has made necessary a com
plete reorganization, which will be
forthcoming after March 4.
EXPENSE OF CANDIDATES.
(Continued from page four.)
S. S. Riley, petition candidate, who
made a successful race for supervisor
in the Sixth district, expended $15.50.
This was expended for cards, adver
tising and hotel expenses.
R. R. Dickson, in making his win
ning race for dstrict judge, expended
nothing, except money for personal ex
penses, for stationary and postage, for
writing and printing and distributing
letters, circulars and posters; these
items not required to be listed as cam
paign expenses.
II. M. Uttley expended $60.00 for
hotel expenses in making his race for
district judge.
Judge C. J. Malone spent $49.71 in
making his race for re-election as
county judge of Holt county. The
money was spent for advertising.
The Butler’s Complaint.
“There would be fewer divorces,”
said Gen. Baxter Sweeney at a Knox
ville luncheon, “if discipline were ob
served in marriage—if the rules of
politeness held them as elsewhere.
“A Knoxville butler the other day
resigned his job.
“ ‘Why are you quitting, Hallibur
ton?’ a brother butler asked him.
“ ‘Because they treat one so badly,’
was the answer. Why, they treat me
as one of the family! The mistress
calls me an old fool as often as she
does her husband.’ ”
Boston Transcript: “So Helen
Strongminded is to be married to Mr.
Wurm.”
“Not exactly. Helen says he is to
be married to her.”
“Oh, yes, of course. She’s asked
you to be her bridesmaid, hasn’t she?”
“No, she asked me to be her besf
woman.”
Not Timet Enough.
Sir Thomas Lipton told at a New
York luncheon party about a profiteer:
“A profiteer,” he said, “bought a
magnificent steam yacht and went
yachting in the Mediterranean. Off
the Spanish coast the yacht hft a rock
and sank. The profiteer had a very
narrow escape from drownnig.
“ ‘Yes,’ he said, afterward, ‘I had a
narrow escape. I thought I was done
for. However, some Spanish fisher
men rescued me at last, and I was put
ashore at Alicante.’
“ ‘Tradition has it,’ said the profi
teer’s companion, ‘that when a man is
straggling hopelessly in the water for
his life he remembers every single
evil deed he ever committed. Was
this so in your case?’
“ ‘Well, not altogether,’ said the
profiteer. ‘You see I war. only strug
gling about eleven hours.’ ”
Gross Ignorance.
Boston Transcript: A Pittsburg
lawyer was conducting a case in court
not long agro and one of the witnesses,
a burly negro, confessed that at the
time of his arrest he was engaged in
a crap game. Immediately the lawyer
said: “Now, sir, I want you to tell
the jury just how you deal craps.”
“Wass dat?” asked the witness,
rolling his eyes.
“Address the jury, sir,” thundered
the lawyer, “and tell them just how
you deal craps.”
"Lemme outen lieah!” cried the wit
ness uneasily. “Fust thing I know this
gemman gwin to ask me how to drink
a sandwitch.”
No News In It.
Titus Titmouse was infuriated, but
the editor of the Western Wind shut
him up in two seconds. “Is this the
% •
newspaper office?” inquired Mr. Tit
mouse. “It is,” responded the man at
the desk. “Didn’t this paper say I
was a liar?” “It did not.” “Didn’t
it say I was a scoundrel?” “It did
not.” “Well, some paper said it.”
“Possibly it was our contemporary
down the street,” suggested the editor,
as he picked up a paper weight. “This
paper never prints stale news.”
Junior the Joker.
Youngstown Telegram: “Pop?”
“Well, Junior—”
“Got a silver dollar in your pocket?”
“Yes, but—”
“Lend it to me a little while; I’ll
give it back.”
“But why do you want a silver dol
lar?”
“I want to try it in my slingshot."
“Shoot it?”
“Yep.”
“What for?”
“Oh, just for* the novelty of seeing
a dollar go a long way.”

Set thie doum, too!
Spurs are crimped
—not pasted. You'll
see it in the seam of
every Spur. You’ll
find it means better
taste, easier draw
ing, slower burning.
Q
What Do We Mean ||
aSmjjk Awnt atm^. I
We put Spurs on the market with our J
eyes open. We knew “There was Room
at the Top—for highest possible quality \
9at lowest possible price”—and we said so \
in print. !
And now Spurs are perched at the top— j
but we didn’t put them there. Smokers
jb did it themselves. You can’t keep a good i
thing down—and it didn’t take smokers j
^ long to discover that Spur had something, j
J they wanted. I
' What was it? Just that good old [
► tobacco taste—that quality of bygone j
9 days. Spur’s blend is choicest Turkish,
Sfine Burley and other home-grown tobac
cos—and it’s some blend. j
Now—how about smoking a top-notch
cigarette? *
