The first detail disposed of by Mrs

Mr.. Davis after a hasty breakfast, was
to acquiese partly to the requests OF

WORK CONSIDERING
NEW AL|GNMENTS
Favors Abolition of Some
Bureaus, Giving States
More Activities.

Returning to Washington only 4
little more than a week ago, Secre-
tary of the Interior Work has turned
to consideration anew of one OF the
major problems of the administration
in the solution OF which he has taken
a leading part. While the two major
changes in the Interior Department
recommended by the joint committee
on reorganization of the executive de
partments-transfer of the Patent Of
fee and the Bureau of Mines from the
Interior Department 70 the Commerce
Department-have been effected in the
past four months, Secretary Work IS
continuing with his survey Of the gen
eral situation. working out on paper
new alignments which may bring
about reductions in Federal expendf-
lures and result in more efficient ad
ministration.
So far his investigations haven't re.
suited in anything more definite than
paper lineup Of possible changes.
But he is working along concrete lines
in the interest of better administration
and new alignments may come out of
his survey. Secretary Work is a good
soldier, however, and doesn't care 10
reveal his intentions on reorRaniZa-
ton until his boss, the President Of
the United States, has been acquaint-
ed with the lineup. So, although he
Is quietly continuing his inquiries, he

Could Give States Work.
His studies have convinced him that
part OF the activities now conducted
by the Federal Government can be
better handled by the State admins
trations. Many Of the activities now
engaged in by. the Government could
be wholly done by. the State admins
trations, IN Mr.. Works opinion, with
authority centralized in Washington,
but responsibility for operation decen.
tralized to States wherever possible.
Different bureaus Of the Govern
ment performing the same or similar
functions has long been a source OF
unnecessary waste, in the operation
of our Government" he said The
situation has largely developed through
creating Independent establishments in
Government instead of delegating new
activities 70 established departments
and bureaus. There should be more
latitude allowed by law in the admin
istration OF the department bureaus
TO insure the highest efficiency"
Secretary Work sees as conserva-
tive the saving of $500, 600 600 sug-
gested by Senator Curtis and Secre-
tary Hoover as possible under the
proposed legislative program for elm
ination OF waste and duplication in
the various Government bureaus Saw
ings consider ably IN excess of this
amount can be effected, he believes.
by permitting the States to take over
administration of many of the projects
now done by the Government.

great time and was delighted to meet
so many OF his old political friends,

There We're more than 1000 Repub-
iican leaders and workers on hand,
and the occasion was strictly of the
nature of the old-time political outing,
such as is rapidly passing out with
the advent of women in politics and

siderable significance attached to the
gathering and the nature of the ad-
dresses made. 1t ts looked upon as
an early call to party victory in 1926,
as well as the informal opening of
Senator Buffers campaign for re-elec-
ton to the Senate next year from
Massachusetts.
The President followed his ironclad

Among the suggestions contained in
the letter from the board of gov

1t is the opinion of the board that
snow removal should start just as
soon as any snowstorm begins. The
first consideration should be the cross
walks in the downtown and other
densely settled business sections
where most of the people congregate.
secondly, there should be the
cleaning of the cross walks leading to
street car and bus lines. Third, the
arterial roadways in the city should
at the same time be made clear for
vehicular traffic. first with motor
driven brooms and then scrapers.
Then the piled up snow should be
