With Passion for Anonymity

story of the farmer at his wits end
because he was doing so much and
getting so little done.
The farmer had 10 outbuildings,
several chicken coops, tool sheds and
what not. On expert advice he built
an addition to his barn.
But, said the President, he had room
for all the poultry, equipment, etc.. In
the barn, so that he had less walking
to do, more time to work and the sun
shone again.
Establishing two new departments
and consolidating all administrative
agencies under the departments will
mean efficiency in the Government as
1t did on that farm, in the Presidents
view
Illustrating why he wants an execu-
tive check on the administrative ex-
penditures of now-independent agen-
cies, like the Federal Trade Commis-
sion or the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, the President spoke of one
unnamed agency which had asked him
about getting 100000 more than he
considered necessary for certain job.
He suggested q reduction, he said,
only to have the agency in question
ask Congress directly for $500,000
more than the figure he had proposed.

six assistants of such caliber be

President gravely disclosed he had
only two choices in mind so far.
Shush, it's secret, he said-they
are the well known John Doe and
Richard Roe. So confidential would
be their duties that persons asking how

Text of Message
President Calls for U. S.
to Overhaul It's
Management.

The text Of the Presidents message
to Congress, transmitting the report
on administrative management, fol-
lows:
To the Congress of the United
States:
address this message to the Con-
gress as one who has had experience
as legislator, as subordinate in an
executive department, as the CHIEF
executive of State and as one on
whom, as President. the constitutional
responsibility for the whole of the
executive branch of the Government
has lain for four years.
Now that we are out of the trough
of the depression, the time has come
to set our house in order. The ad-
ministrative management of the Gov
ernment needs overhauling. We are
confronted not alone by new activi-
ties, some of them temporary in
character, but also by the growth OF
the work Of the Government match
ing the growth Of the Nation over
more than generation.
Except for the enactment of the
budget and accounting act of 1921, NO
extensive change in management has
occurred since 1918, when the De-
partment of Labor was established.
The executive structure of the Gov
ernment is sadly out of date. I am
not the first President to report to
the Congress that antiquated ma
chinery stands in the way of effective
administration and of adequate con-
troll by the Congress. Theodor,
