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.

dential term of six years and no re-

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

Snuff Boxes Filled
Preparations for ithe opening of
congress were completed by tWb fill
ing of the two snuff^xes which
stand on either side of tlm door to the
senate chamber. This is- an ancient
custom, dating from GeorgeWTashing-
t< n’s time. There are still four or five
senators who are regular snuff-takers,
and many more who take an occasion
al pinch from the senatorial snuff-
boxe.s, on the theory that a good
sneeze helps to ward off an impend
ing cold and clears, the senatorial
head for debate. —^
Holt Disciplined
The “baby” of the senate, 30-year-
