PUTTING HIS FOOT DOWN. It is only what should be expected when President Harding lets it be un- derstood that he is in no frame of mind to tolerate a determined imterference with the plans of reorganizing the de- partments of the government for the purpose of producing greater efficiency and economy in administering the af- fairs of the government. Those Wwho have taken a selfish position in the mat- ter and undertaken to obstruct instead of help, should have been engaged in better business. If their acts have been such as to cause their removal they have no one to blame but themseives, | while their cases should not be lost upon any others who are similarly engaged. The need of reorganization has been recognized for a long time. Serious ef- forts have been made to bring it about. The budget tem promises to be a in one direction but thers are ways {in which the machinery of the govern- ment can be shifted about and placed in position to do business more effective- Attention was called to the fact only n the number of government employes, but at the same time it was maintained that only a start had been made, and thousands of unnecessary employes kept but in all respects the reorganization is No| ge kes with a full 21l involved coming, or p are { only struc ‘When that when natural department heads makes that plain t | Sbionnis o et the cooperation | that is callea for.

In June, 1777, its legislature assumed power to prepare a constitution, but on a refer- ence to the people thé act was disavow- ed.
