National Department of Public Works"

At present these functions are per-
formed by 80 separate and distinct
agencies in nine out of the ten de-
partments, which in many cases do ex-
actly the same kind of work and are
not correlated and co-Ordinated except
through congress.
In the regrOupinG of functions
among the departments the interior
department would transfer the patent
office to the department of commerce;
the bureau of pensions to the treasury
department; the bureau Of education
to tie department of labor the Freed
mans hospital TO the public health
service, and so on.
Into the new department of public
works would be taken the supervising
architects office from the treasury de-
partment; the corps of engineers, riv-
ers and harbOrs, from the war depart
ment: the coast and geUdetic survey
from the department Of commerce; the
bureaus of good roads and of forest
service from the agricultural depart
ment, and so on.
OF course every department-except
perhaps the interiOr-will fight the bill

Tries to Give Away Plat National Park

tains but S4S acres. 1t has sulphur
and bromide springs of medical value.
Last year It attracted about $4,000 WIS.,

city Of Sulphur. So Plat is hardly
up to the standard of the national
parks. 1t is slated to be reduced to
national monument.
In 1913 Plat got an appropriation
Of $1,000 which has gradually been
decreased to $4,000 for fiscal year
1920. While the national park items
in the sundry civil bin were being con-
sidered In the house just before ad-
jOurnment. Harre4d of Oklahoma Of
fered an amendment increasing the
appropriation from Sc 600 to $4,000.
Then Good of Iowa, chairman of the
appropriations committee, offered a
substitute amendment which provided
for transfer of the park to the state
Of Oklahoma and, In case Of the failure
or refusal of Oklahoma to accept the
park, for the sale of the park either
by sealed proposals or by public auc-
ton, the proceeds to go to the treas
