J ust before President HooNjer went out of office he said that eithlk “con- greitei must keep its hands off n^, or they must give to my successor n^h larger powers of independent acticm than have been given to any pfesi^ dent.” The' response of congress wwm to enact a law, before Mr. Roosevelt’s inauguration, vesting in the president broad and sweeping authority to con solidate, eliminate and rearrange ex ecutive bureaus. — LiftSit MAPch the president named a committee to study and report to him which of the new agencies should be sertfpj[>ed or reduced and how the sur vivors could be consolidated. Commit tees of the house and senate also be gan to rttudy the subject. The outlook now is for a pretty general rearrange ment of governmental departments, .with greater efficiency and simplifi cation as the main objective.* The main obstacle to a logical re grouping of administraitve functions may be found in congress Itself, for the element of political patronage cannot be overlooked. Moreover, most of the government departments and bureaus have well-organized methods of putting "pressure” On congress to Increase rather than cut down, their iwwers and jierquisites. Mr, Roosevelt stands a better chance of gz^ting congressional sup- port in the lace of thesenpoi^rfol “pressure blocs” than any previous president ever had. tTolial amendment fixing the presi-' dential term of six years and no re- election.' While the general idea is favor^ by many members of both houses, it would stand a better chance of se-! rious consideration, no doubt, if it' came from a Democratic member in- j stead of it Republican. 1 SN %oiiii sweet HOIIIC fCWlB DUnh i2ig .* « tt’e too Itte to hay adequate Fke Insurance^ •' ThackMi is NOW. plsos it WITH is thai . tbls Autocnobtls Insunutoa Conmany of Hartford, Coon., whkaihli AfMSQ' sepMsaata. ^W.
