Shake-up in Washington
New York Timesl

According to washington dispatches, the
President is expected to propose to the Congress
la thoroughgong reorganization of the administra
machinery of the Government but he has put out of
his mind the thought that any great reduction OF
expenditures will automatically from it. This
is probably realistic appraisal of the situation Des
pite all that the President himself said in 1882 about
saving large sums of money by eliminating over
tapping bureaus and retiring unnecessary bureau
Gratis and despite all that the Republicans said this
year the subject, mere reShuffng of the
Federal departments will not in itself bring budget
much more closely into balance To do that it will
be necessary not only to cut down governmental
head but to curta the vast amounts which now
being paid in the form of bounties subsidies pen
sons' ETC., to large and increasing army of farmers
relief workers veterans whose disabilities have no
connection with service and other recipients OF
Federal argess.
/ This does not mean that moderate saving
cannot be achieved through reorganization of the
Government departments that such reorganization
is not well worth undertaking for its sake and
the interest of more efficient handling of the public
BUSINESS no matter how modest may be the resultant
economy A large element of slapdash marks
the arrangement of many of the regular bureaus OF
the Government There is, for example no good rea-
son why the Treasury should administer the Public
Health Service why the Philippines should be under
the war Department, while Guam and Samoa are
under the Navy, and Puerto Rico and Alaska under
interior; or why national parks should be admins
tered by Interior and national forests by Agriculture
OF why agriculture rather than Justice, should
force the Food and Drug Acts; why the Geological
Survey should be under Interior while the Coast and
Geodetc Survey is under Commerce; or why various
other bureaus should be precisely where they are
Nor is there any good reason why some of the new
emergency offices should not be amalgamated with
the regular departments the highly desirable pur-
pose OF eliminating large amount of duplica ting
effort II the President can devise more orderly
plan OF government and persuade Congress to accept
IT, he VIII perform service valuable in itself no
matter how great or small the incidental economies
achieved
