Special to Daily Leader.
Washington, Mar. 1e-The new
Democratic broom is to have its
bristles tried first on the seven GOV.
ernmental departments, according to
plans being made by the leaders of
the next house. 1t can be stated on
authority that departmental investi.
cations are to be among the irst
activities of the new majority. and
me preparations for them are even
now being made in the meetings of
the ways and means committee,
Inc primary reason for the gener.
al character of the investigations is
that reports may be made TO the
mousse OF useless Offices In the depart
ments and recommendation be made
for the exercise OF economy.
In several OF the departments, how.
ever while economy will be looked
INTO, q rigorous search will be made
Tor expected irregularities as re.
suit Of the sixteen years during
which the Republicans have been IN
power. The postofllce department.
the department of justice and the

subjected TO the FIRST of the inquiries,
and these will be searching. The
trail of Former Secretary Balllnger
Is to be closely followed.
The Democrats expect to substan.
iiate their contentious during the
past two decades-that billion-dollar
sessions are guilty of needless ex-
travagance, to report facts and to
find means of cutting down the cost
OF running the government. A mem
Der OF the new ways and means eom-
mi!tee said today that in the econ
omy Investigations the hitherto use
less committees on expenditures in
the departments will be used. This
means that all the committees Of the
house are to be selected by the com.
mittee now in session, and that, IN
stead of putting wooden men at the
head of the expenditure committees,
the Democrats will select keen busi-
ness men as chairmen that their IN.
vestigations may be conducted with
skill and may accomplish real re-
suits.
