RETIREMENT OF WILEY REEVES
AGITATION TO REoRoANlzE
DEPARTMENT.
MACHINERY OF ADMINISTRATION
PROVES TOO COMPLICATED
Too Many Boards and Officials to Make
enforcement Of Laws Effective
Present System Tends to Trouble
Secretary Of Agriculture May Be
Shorn Of Some Of His Powers.
Especial Correspondence

| Washington, March 21.-With the
resignation Of DR.. Harvey w. Wiley as
chief Of the bureau of chemistry. talk
is beginning to be heard Of a reorgan-
ization of the pure food and drugs act
for the purpose of simplifying it, max
; ing it more workable and making 1t
; less easy for the food and drug manu-
featuring interests to slip stones into
the machinery.
Everybody who has looked into the
system of enforcement If the pure food
law knows that it is complicated and
| cum bersome one. Thus far, no very
definite suggestions are made as to the
best way of remedying the matter, save
that there is strong feeling that the
Remsen board which helped bolster up
the use Of benzoate Of soda and the
food and drug board ought to be put
out Of business. In a general way,
however. 1t is clearly perceived by
many of the friends of an effective pure
food law administration that until the
machinery Of administration is made
less complicated there Will always be
trouble.
Mechanism Complicated.
The administration Of the pure food
and drugs act is now carried out by
this Ions train of mechanism:
The bureau Of chemistry.
The board OF food and drug inspec-
ton.
The solicitor Of the department Of
agriculture.
The secretary Of agriculture.
The Remsen board.
The three secretaries Of agriculture,
treasury and commerce and labor.
The department of justice.
. The courts.
To these, may be added the president
of the United States. who in contro-
yerted cases yields a tremendous in
fuence.
UseIes. Boards and Officials.
AS matter of fact. there is no
question that the law would be more
effectively carried out if the board OF
food and drug inspection were abol-
ished, the Remsen board done away
with, ard the method Of appeal to the
three secretaries in controverted cases
was stopped. Strong feeling exists in
congress that the bureau Of chemistry
Is able to administer the law in most
respects and that it should be handi-
capped as little as possible by lumber
ing up the vicinity with useless boards
and officials. DR.. Wiley at one time
said that he could administer the law
with the aid OF law clerk. The food
manufacturing interests have found
that the complication Of machinery is
a great source of protection to them.
In case congress goes seriously
about the business of overhauling the
law. as efforts will be made to have
it, not only will attention be directed
to the surplus machinery already al
luded to but to the evolution OF some
plan that will make it impossible for
an unfriendly solicitor and the head OF
the department of agriculture, who:
whether he be Secretary Wilson or
some one else, will always be amen
able to political pressure and influence,
to have so large a say as to pure food
law enforcement.
