Abolition of the departments of In- terior and Commerce is recommended to the joint comgressional committee on reorganization of the administra- In @ general way it may be said| that it has been the policy in the past to attach to the Department of the extent to. the ‘e all services which did not seem to find a place in one of the other departments. Both consequently now have a more or less polyglot character, comprehending same general fleld nor are of a nature No proper organization of the de- can therefore be effected without the elimination of these departments, the institutd argues. It should be noted that, while this action is called abo- lition, it really consists in the con- version of the Department of the In- terior into a department of public ment of maritime affairs (and trans. portation). o Propesals for Changes. ‘The institute proposes to dispose of the services of the Department of the Interior as follows: (1) That the returns office be abol- ished. (2) That the bureau of mines parate service and its duties assigned to ecertain other services. ((3) That there be transferred to Congress the office of architect of the Capitol. (4) That there be transferred to the proposed department of public works and pub- lc domain: (a) The United States reclamation service; (b) the Alaskan engineering commission; (c) the gzn-t eral land office; (d) the board of ap peals; (e) the national parks service; (f) the United States geological sur- vey; (g) the United States bureau of ! mines. (5) That there be transferred to | the proposed department of education | and science: (a) the bureau of edu- cation and (b) the patent office.

In _recommending the abolition of ||} the returns office the institute says: “It represents a service which, what. ever may have been the justification for its creation, now furnishes a strik- ing example of the maintenance of a service which no longer serves any useful purpose.” In recommending the abolition of the bureau of mines the, institute says that “a careful study of its activities show that there is nothing done by it which cannot be done by other serv- ices, and particularly the bureau of standards and the geologicatsurvey. This being so, it is believed to be in the interests of economy and effi- ciency that it should be discontinued and the duties taken over by the other services.” In a general way the activities of the bureau of mines may be said to fall into two clas: (a) Those of a SPECIAL NOTICES.
