Hard Winter Ahead for Bureau Heads

NOTWITHSTANDING President
IN ,Harding's warning that propa-
ganda by government officials against
department reOrganizations will not
be tolerated, members Of the SEN
ate and house are being flooded with
protests against the proposed rear
rangement Of government bureaus in
the interest Of greater efficiency and
decreased expense. t....
Every mail is filled with such pro-
tests, directed not only to the men,
bers of the congressional joint COM
mittee on reorganization, but also
those legislators whose only part in
the scheme will be to approve the final
recommendations The object. officials
insist, is to poison the minds of legis-
lators generally against any changes
which might cost bureau chiefs and
others their jobs.
Investigation shows the most insid-
ious propaganda Is afoot In other ways
to damage the program of reOrganiza-
ton, although there has been abate-
ment since the vigorous statement of
President Harding that all federal en-

MAS highway system. The federal
bureau reports that only 1875 per cent
of California's highway concrete Is
inferior
CALIFORNIA; concrete pavement Is
practically all four inches thick The
use of this thin slab. which came in
for so much condemnation in the first
report, made Ii possible to give large
part of the state good highway serv-
ice at a reasonable cost. The design
was determined nearly ten years be-
fore the heavy traffic came, SO that,
measured by results, the California
commissions work appears to have
been a success. Seventy per cent of
the defective pavement occurs on clay
and adobe soils, but large mileage of
the same thin pavement on these ad-
verse soils still remains In good condi-
ton
The bureau found the four-inch slab
inadequate (the commission itself has
abandoned 1t in favor of a five-inch
reinfaced concrete design and ad-
vises that experimental sections be
made on the unfavorable soils. 1t
also finds that the three eighths-inch
carpet coat, famous In California, does
not give a service commensurate with
It's cost.
OF interest in all parts of the coun-
try is the bureaus finding that there
is nothing presented by the entire
California study which indicates that
concrete Is not a successful pavement.
Simple, satisfactory methods for class
flying the conditions of concrete
roads have been developed from this
study which will be found invaluable
in classifying roads in other states.

CONSTRUCTION OF GOOD ROAD
Careful Design and Best Of Workman

Every element Of q modern road re-
quires careful design and the best Of
workmanship. The foundation es-
pecially must be deep and substantial,
and for this 1t would seem that the
usual layer of crushed stone is entirely
inadequate and unsuited. Underdrain-
ing Is also very important, but usually
is laid out on theory rather than a con-
sideration of actual conditions that
vary every few yards. The surface Is
vitality important, for II should be alb
solutely smooth, as any initial ir-
regularity forms a starting point for
disintegration under the trip hammer
blows Of a heavy truck wheel.

There is apparently no way to con-

curb the activities OF the government

ton would be within the limits OF the
Yellowstone National Park.
Il can not favor the enactment Of
the measure. do not believe 1t would
be advisable for congress to permit
private interests to develop irrigation
or power sites within the limits of
existing national parks. These parks
were created by congress for. the
preservation of the scenery, forests,
and other objects of beauty and in
terest in their natural condition, and
they are created and maintained for
general and national purposes as con
tradistinguished from local develop
ment.
IF cases be found where 1t is nee
essary and advisable in the public
interest to develop power and irri-
cation possibilities in national parks.
and it can be done without interior
ence with the purposes OF their crea-
ton, am of the opinion that 1t should
only be permitted to be done. whether
through the use OF private or public
funds, on specific authorization by
congress, the works to be constructed
and controlled by the Federal Govern
ment. Sincerely,

1t is probable that few statements
issued by the Department OF the In

many people in so many states. Ma
