bate, appeared upon the scene

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
REORGANIZATION NEXT
(By Congressman Knute Hill)

(By Congressman Knute HID
Washington. D. c. March s.
The next thing on the Congression-
al bill Of fare, after the Judiciary
problem has been settled, is eSpec-
ted to be the reorganization g. the
executive departments.
Like the judicial problem. this
reorganization Is Let Aew, tut Aa.s
bee1 attempted and proposed by
Presidents Theodore Roosevelt,
William II. Taft, Woodrow Wilson
and Herbert Hoover.
The need for this reorganization
is clear. There are now about $780,
900 Gillian employees Of the govern
ment working in about 100 odd a.
gencies. services. bureaus, admins
tration and authorities. Standards
OF employment and compensation
may differ, depending on which of
the 100 agencies the employee is
under. The SO years of Civil Ser
vice has raised many problems
which have not been answered be-
cause Of the inadeQuadies OF Its or
iginal conception.
Five-Point Plan
The President has proposed a
five-point reorganization plan.
which he will ask Congress to con-
slider this session. The reorganiza-
ton calls for much intensified
work and promises to keep Con-
gress in session throughout most
Of the summer.
Noteworthy among the propos.
ale is the suggested creation OF
two new departments: The Depart
ment OF Social Welfare and the De.
partment of Public Works. Both
are New Deal creations and fulfill
needed public wants. The two new
departments would be added to the
present ten executive branches
The non-departmental units would
then lbe classified under one Oh
these twelve departments. Thu
name 0f the Department OF Intsri'
or would be changed to the Dc
partment Of Conservation.
Single Executive Officer
Heading the Civil Service Com
mission under the new plan woule
be single executive officer
called the Civil Service Admins
! traitor. A seven-man non-salaried
board with staggered terms of ser
vice would work with the Admins
TRAITOR as safeguardians Of the mer
1t system. Members of the Commits
sion would be appointed by the
President with the advice and con
sent Of the Senate.
The President contends that tn,
Government deserves workmen al
skilled as those employed by pri
vate concerns and intends to rails,
salories so as to attract the Ma
tons best minds into public ser
vice. All persons not holding poll
cy-determining Jobs will be placed
under Civil Service II the extension
of the merit system follows tn,
Chief Executives suggestion.
The program Is designed in gen
eral to eliminate the spoils system
of patronage as much as possible
Jobs neccessitating permanent
| personnel should not be subject t.
term appointments. Government
careers are to be encouraged so al
| to attract and retain the serices o
men and women OF outstanding
| ability.

Marlin 3S, Hartline "a.
Neppel 81, Quincy FL.
Coulee City played their best
game of the season when they beat
Marlin in their first encounter. 1t
was the worst defeat Marlin had
suffered all season, and the many
Coulee City fans ait this game felt
certain the Giants would win next
day.
Coulee's second game was with
Quincy, the only county team the
Giants didn't tumble during the
season. Quincy lost only one con-
test during the regular season, de-
feating Coulee City by one point.
The locals played listless
brand of ball and the first quar-
found Quincy out in front eight to
three. At halftime Coulee was be-
hind by 1913 count
In the third frame Visnaw drop
ped in three baskets, two of them
being very freaky shots. On one
occasion he merely threw the ball
back over his head and scored, The
third quarter ended 10 to II and
the final count was 80 to 10.
Visnaw and Harold Craig tied
for Quincy with 10 points each,
Coulee with six markers.
In the championship game Nep-
pei started out in high gear and
had amassed Is to three lead by
tie end of the first\ quarter. In
the last three quarters Quincy
scored Is points and Neppel IS
the final score being 81 to Fl. The

ty at the Wenatchee district meet

ing in the tourney.

ors by trimming Hartline 3S to
"a.

quintet won 16 games and lost g.
They averaged better than 20
points per game.

Woodhouse the Giants have won
"a and lost So games during the
past seven seasons. Their tourna-
ment record:
In 1881, second place; 1882,
fourth; 1888, first; 1884, third;
