Proposed Reorganization of

ton.

Washington, Feb. 2l.-Reorganiza-
ton of the executive machinery of the
Federal Government-one of the burn
ing issues of the early days of the
present Administration, is about to be
shelved for an indefinite time.
The enormous saving in money
through the promised elimination Of
red tape and overlapping of depart
mental and bureau activities, the
further rehabilitation of the civil
army of the Government and through
a wholesale reduction in the overhead
expenses, must wait.
Complications, both executive and
Legislative, have arisen. The enthusl-
asm for reorganization, as sweeping
at the outset of this regime as 1t was
at the outset of others that have
gone before, has waned. The zeal
for reform has cooled.
1t would be premature to say tina.
the enterprise has been abandoned. 1t
is still alive, but it is in reserve, and
it will remain in reserve for many
months to come, if not for all time.
In the first place, the President
who was the leading champion OF a
complete overhauling Of the machine
which he operates, has found it next to
impossible to reconcile his Cabinet to
the various projects which have beer
recommended to him. There is back
| firing all along the line. There IS re-
volt further back in the trenches where
the bureau. the division and section
chiefs are fighting grimly for their
jobs and their small prestige.
lE the next place, Congress has nc
/ time for an unlimited debate upon a
Reorganization plan. 1t would probably
take longer to bring the two houses
into an accord on this question than
to ratify a series of disarmament

The association this afternoon
adopted the plans for the temple
without change. A date for the iay
ing of the cornerstone was lett TO 'he
board of directors of the association. :
The twelfth annual meeting N OF
the George Washington Masonic Ma
tional Memorial Association con
yened shortly before 10 o'clock TINS TN;
morning in the Masonic Temple with
delegates from practically every
state in the union in attendance ne
morning session was given over TO
hearing addresses and receiving re-
ports from various committees.
The model of the proposed temple,
was submitted to the ASSOCIATION ana
this afternoon it was viewed by city
officials and members of the Guy
council and others at the Masonic
Temple.
It is expected that the design will
be adopted by the association. both
the architects and consulting archl-
tects and the landscape architects
are here and all went over the plans
with the members Of the building
committe and the attending dele
gates.
One of the most important mat
ters which will be heard this after
noon will be the report Of the treas,
urer. This report it is understood
will show that cash on hand amounts
to about 100000, and i'm addition
that the pledges received wall bring
the grand total to about a. million
and a half dollars.
As heretofore stated in these col
umns the association proposes to
raise a grand total of approximately
s2,5OO,O00 the temple proper TO cost
81 100000, the landscape gardening
to cost 100000 and to provide an
endowment fund of at least $500, O,00U.
If present plans are adopted TINS
afternoon it is regarded as highly
probable that the work will be start
ed without delay and the foundation
of the handsome Masonic memorial
temple will be probably laid early IN
April
The sessions of the association are
being presided over by Louis A.
Watres, of Pennsylvania, The open
ing prayer this morning was deiiv-
cred by Rev. William J. Morton, rec
tor of Christ Church, chaplain of the

Afterward came reports and ADJ
dresses from number of the visi-
tors.

Republican members of the Ways
and Means Committee wrestled with
the soldier bonus problem for three
hours today but at the end OF that
time they were no nearer solution
than they were on the day the Presi-
dent advocated either delay in enact
ment of the law or adoption of the
sales tax method of raising revenue.
Chairman Fordney of the committee
admitted after today's session that he
did not know where the money to pay
for the bonus was to come from, but It
was intimated strongly that the
committee had been considering re-
vision of the eighteen taxation
scheme, despite the announced oppo-
sition Of the President to this propo-
sition.
The sales tax method, it was
learned, mas been almost definitely
discarded by the committee, since it is
evident that this tax can not pass the
House. However. Chairman Fordney
was still insistcnt that a bonus bill
would be passed.
Republican Floor Leader Mondell
said he believed bonus bill would be
passed.
~ think some kind of bonus bill
will be passed" he said. "You have
got to remember that a great MANY
/ members OF the House made their
campaigns on promises to support n
bonus bill. Others have since pledged
| themselves to vote for it. They can
not simply disregard their pledges.
| Thnv, have got to vote for a bonus"
"How can the money be raised?"
Nondell was asked
"That's for the Committee on Ways
and Means to decide" he replied.

President Harding is being urged
to fill the three highest Offices in the
Postofice Department because OF the
steady decrease in the efficiency of the
department and the posto!lices
throughout the country since the an
nouncen,ent OF the resignation of
Postmaster General Will H. Hays, eff
fective March a. Officials of the de-
partment said today that the depart
ment has been going steadily down hill
in the last few weeks and much time
will be required to build up the morale
of the service unless the successors to
Postmaster General Hays and his as
sistants are selected with the least
possible delay. 1t is known that the
actin" officials who have been running
the department during the last month
have merely been working time, be.
cause of lack cf authority. 1t has
been years since any department. has
been without so many ranking officials
as the Postoffice Department is to-
day.

WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY

Washington, Feb. 21.-Announce-
ment that four Democratic Senator'S,
always known heretofore as followers
of former President Wilson, will take
part in the campaign of Senator Reed
of Missouri foD denomination, has
stirred up good deal of comment
and speculation at the National Capt.
tai. Reed announced his candidacy
for denomination only last week after
trip over his State to sound out SEN
t.iment. He is being opposed by
Breckenridge Long, who was Third
Assistant Secretary of State under
Wilson and who is running against
Reed on a platform Of support for the
League of Nations and the Wilson pol
icies in general. Reed, as is well
known, was one Of the irreconsilable
opponents Of the League, and bitter
opponent of Wilson, who Reed said
was traitor to his country.
Quite confident of the support of all
Democrats who were friends Of Will
son and the League. Long has been
much surprised to learn that Senators
Stanley of Kentucky, Simmons and
Overman of North Carolina and
Hitchcock of Nebraska will probably
take the stump for Reed in his cam
paign for reelection.

The long-awaited investigation of
the lobby on the dyestuffs bill was
scheduled to start today and large
number of witnesses appeared at the
hearing in response to summonses.
But when the hearing was about to
start, Senator Shortridge of Califor-
MIA found he had been deserted by the
two other members of the lnvesti-
eating committee, and as he did not
care to undertake the investigation By
himself, he adjourned the meeting
until the Senate can provide him with
assistants. Senator Ernst of Ken
tucliy, one Of the members of the
subcommittee, resigned because his
law firm is council for dye company,
and Senator Reed of Missouri, another
member resigned to devote himself to
his campaign for denomination in
Missouri.
