I must .d-{ mit, everybody else must, that the law is onpopular. Men make no bones about telling me, the prohibition di- rector, that they drink more now than they éver did; and that they get it by ‘means that are illegal under the Volstead act. They &re proud of it Good Natured and Kind Hearted, But These " Attributes Do Not Extend to Gentry Who Rob United States Mails. P ‘ Will H. Hays, human dynamo! The people of the country have come to know him pretty well as & wolitical organizer who landed Hard- ing in the White House. They are coming to know him better as a big business man who is humanizing the biggest business in the world, who is cutting the red tape that has hereto- fore bound administrative officers of the government to precedents, doing many things in a progressive way. Will S. Hays is a little fellow with an interesting updrawing of one side of his face as he talks, but he is a compact bundle of energy directed by a quick-grasping mind. His con- ception of a new propusition comes like a flash and his decisions are about as quick. “Good—let's do | 1s the way he initistes some activity. ury Department of all except its necessary and proper fiscal functions. “Fourth, the transfer of all non- military work from the War Depart- ment and the Navy Department to the regular civillan departments of the| government. “Fifth, the .enlargement of the De- partment of Commerce and the trans- fer to that department of all agen- cies which have to do with the prow: motion of ctommerce and the pro- tection of navigation. “Sixth, the establishment of a cen- tralized purchasing agency to do the buying for zll branches of -the- ex- ecutive establishment. 3 “Seventh (which has already been accomplished), the creation of a bud- get bureau, to aid the President in the direction ard control of the work of all executive departments and in- NITMfl“ chxmu.

Not quite satisfied that his job is big enough as it is, Mr. Hays has pre- pared for the organization of a divi- sion of communications in his depart- ment, to include all the government used telegraph lines, by which he has figured that he can effect an annual saving of $250,000, and it will also in- clude the development of radio com- mmunication. _Anticipating this, he has Started a wireless telegraph news broadcasting service, particularly for western farmers, which since ~April 15 has beén sending market and weather Bulletins from the air mail radio stations, which cover an aggre- gate area equal to more than half of the-United States. “The bigness of his job is one thing that is appreciated and which appeals strongly to Will H. Hays, the little follow who just itches to do blg things. Here is his own concept of it: “The postal ‘service is generally taken for granted like the sequence of the seasons. Men forget that the T. S. postal service is the biggest dis- tinct business in the world. "We have 300,000 employes immediately con- hected with the operation, with 100,- / 000,000 customers.

Nothing daunted by the stupendous size: of his own job and the reforms and innovations and new progressive services which he is instituting, Will H. Hays Is one of the most active members of the cabinet in studying the problem of reorganization of the administrative branch of the govern- ment. _In fact, he has done what no other cabinet member has done. He has boiled his study of the situation down to seven definite recommenda- tions, as follows: “First, the change of the name of the 'Department of the Interior to TDepartment of Public Works, and the concentration in that department of alk cvil public works of the govern- ment. as well as all those services which have to do with the adminis- . tration and utilization of the public domain. 2 “Second, the establishment of a new department, the Department of Public ‘Welfare, to have charge of all bureaus and offices which handle relief work T the veterans of the war with Ger- : any, including the Bureau of War |4 2 B P s P il £ T 2 G 3 e i i Ttisk Insurance, the Federal Bureau |} ; ; ) A : : ; g 30 : ; ; : _ of Votational Education, and the hos- .
