Wants Authority
To Cut Red Tape

There arc u thousand such questions.
Of which these are the leading ones.
There is. besides, much red tape about
the way things are donc--red tape es-
tablshcd by law. The President wants
authority to do away with this red
tape by a stroke of the pen. 1t would
not be possible to go to Congress each
time one of these detailed changes in
organization is required. That would be
cumbersome and impracticable. There
fore the President wants blanket au-
thority.
There arc two theories of rcorgani-
zation held here: one concerns a re-
organization at the centre. the other a
reorganization in the periphery One
has to do with the substance of the
government, tho other with its details.
Nj. Wilson. like Mr. Baker. believes
1t is enough TO improve the details.
il YOU accep. this view the War De-
partment has gone wrong, so far as it
has gone wrong. because blueprint
OF It's bureaus. depending from the Sec
rotary of War extended too far later
ally and not far enough perpcndicu-
larry.
One Of these charts, which may be
seen everywhere in these days of pro-
posed reorganizations looks like q
genealogical tree upside down.
The old War Department was all in
the second generation. The rcwly ar
hanged War Department has more gen
erations. A bureau is now two or
thsne removes from the Secretary
where formerly it was one remove
And all bureaus are grouped together

Goethals After Results
In Most Direct Way

From we'll informed source l learn
mat the strengthening Of the purchas-
ing departments of the army has weak
ened the influence of the War Indus
,rles Board. General Gocthals and
.olonel McRoberts are men accustomed
70 seeking results in the most direct
way. 1t is said by persons in contact
WIN SNh the War Industries Board that
ooth of them. in their zeal to make a
.ecoro, are adopting more or less the
attltude Of Admiral MCGOWAN, the pur-
i;naSer OF the navy, who has gone out
n.o tne market to buy, with little re-
gard for the wants of other connecting
departments of the government.
s me result is that the congestion of
war; war; orders IN certain sections of the
houhtry has been increased. One mem

Those who hold to the opinion that
what is the matter here is solely that
there have been to many Shapes and
Croziers think that a functional" re-
organization like this one, accompanied
by lovelier and more convincing dia-
grams and by an improved personnel in
subordinate positions, viii serve to
make us efficient. Others. such as Sem
ators Chamberlain, Hitchcock, Wads-
worth and Weeks, believe that while
there is trouble at the bottom there is
greater and more serious trouble at the
top. They believe that the country has
not yet developed a proper working ex-
ecutlvc. adequate to the strain of con-
Quoting great war. The President
may bet is likely he will be-per-
mltted, even encouraged, TO remodel the
details of the government And then
If his "functional' scheme fails, with
all its symmetrical blueprints, the eye
OF tho nation cannot fail to be directed

The need of centralized oreaniza-
ton IS becoming apparent to business
men. The War Industries Board has
broken down. Howard Coffin told the
chamberlain committee that no atten-
ton was being paid to the efforts of
thus board to protect the industrial or
sanlzation of the country from the
shock of an irregular and unplanncd
conversion to war work

Chamber of Commerce or at the
Office of Attorney Frank c. Owings
in the Funk Volland building, under
the Public Service Reserve plan out
lined by Secretary of Labor Wilson,
who is a member of President Will
sons cabinet.
All laborers as we'll as the skilled
workmen are urged to register, so
that the federal government may
have complete census of the man
power of each community without
going to the expense of having the
census taken, the men being request
ed to come in of their own accord
and set forth their qualifications.
They may register at the Chamber
of Commerce from 9 o'clock in the
morning until 9 o'clock at night,
every day.
At the present time the United
States is interested particularly in
shipbuilding. Later it will be inter-
ested in other lines of war activities.
1t is estimated that 10000 more
men are needed for the shipyards in
the Northwest. Therefore the gov
eminent is anxious to have all men
register so that when men are want
ed for certain work the government
can get in direct communication
with them.
The local labor union officials, fol-
lowing the lead of the state and ma
tional leaders, are urging the men
to supply the information desired by
the government.
When a man signs up there Is no
compulsion about taking job If one
is offered, but the names of men who
never have any intention of answer
ing if called are not wanted. The
men now working in the shipyards
are also wanted to register, as the
government wishes to get in touch
with them IL for any reason they
change their line of work.
All of the work being done under
the registration plan is purely vol
untary, the same as the men giving
the information do it voluntarily.
There is no charge of any kind and
when the new membership cards and
buttons are sent by the government,
they will be distributed among the
members so each may have one.
