REORGANIzING THE GOVERNMENT.

The new administration faces a hard task t.
ATTEMPT to reorganize the government departments
at a time when the discharge of superfluous helr
means so much addition to unemployment. 1t would
have been far easier to accomplish such changes
last wear when general business was rushing.
1t seems strange that the democratic party has
made no effort to put the federal departments
or an efficient business basis and cut out red tape
II may be said in defence of the administration that
inefficiency had existed for many years, and no
one party can be blamed for it. But such condi-
lions grew up in a period when the modern science
of efficiency had not developed In those easy go
ing times when cost of living and taxes were low,
all enterprises ran in a less systematic way -
About fifteen years ago, the modern science of
efficiency management began to shape itself. Pri-
yate corporations reorganized their operations to
conform to the new standards. President Taft then
the chief magistrate, caught the idea, and urged
that the government departments be reorganzed to
fit the trend of the times But he left office be-
fore he had time to carry out his suggestions.
When .hc democrats came in many of them
seemed never to have heard of efficiency ideas.
While the private business of the country was re-
organized in the interests of production, the
federal business grew more and more slack, until
now it probably employs twice as many people
as a private corporation would need to do the
work.
The republican executive faces hard task to
shake M all these dry bones But it will be under
taken with the same spirit and determination in
which good business man brings order and sys-
tenn out of any rundown and slipshop organiza-
ton,

And some of the hot soup
splashed on the Fox, and burned
his nose so that he, also, howled
and ran away. But Uncle Wiggily
wasn't burned at all. He picked
himself up, as the Fox and Bear
ran away to cool their burns, and
then the bunny took his pail and
went back to his bungalow for
more soup.
"1'll go around the other way

out again. And he safely reached
