BUREAU ORGANIZATION
PLANNED BY CONGRESS

Washington, Nov. 11-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 abolition of the De-
partment of the Interior and the crea-
ton of a Department of Public Works
and Department of Public Welfare.
For this great change Senator Medili
Mccormick, of Illinois, will introduce a
bill at the beginning of the final ses-
sion of the present Congress next
month. He has worked out a compre-
hensive plan.
The functions of the Interior Depart
ment have become somewhat minimi-
zed if not obsolete. With the develop

ment of the West, the General Land
Office is not what it used to be. Nor is
the Office of Indian Affairs. The Bu-
reau of Pensions has been somewhat
superseded by the War Risk.
1t is believed by Mccormick that the
Geological Survey, the Reclamation
Service and the Bureau of Mines
should be transferred to Department
of Public Works. To this he would add
the river and harbor work now done
by the War Department, and such 9TH
er bureaus as would fit in.
To the Department of Public We'll
fare he would give the Bureau of Edu-
cation, the functions of which would
be greatly enlarged; the Women's
Bureau in the Department of Labor,
all units which touch upon the condi-
tion 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 suberve the pub
lie welfare, and while the suggested
name of the Department of Public
Welfare may be different when the
law is finally enacted by Congress this
Department will take over all the So
cial work of the Government, includ-
ing the Bureau of War Risk.

ty 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

Indiana, had in mind for the develop
