TfiE GARDEN ISLAND (TUESDAY, DECrfSf&ER 5, 192'i
Wio Gof fAe Money?
By MARQUIS JAMES
t (From American
(Continuod from last wcok)
For the benefit ot thoso who are re
taining their sweet dispositions by
letting golf alone a few words of
explanation regarding "bogoy" may
servo to throw now light upon the
matter. Bogoy Is one of the most
significant and annoying terms In
golf. Every courso has Us bogey,
which Is an Imaginary score which
none but the most expert can hopo
to equal or beat. Tho object of golf
Is not to cultivate profanity or to
establish that woman's place Is In
the home, ns has been charged, but
golf. Every courso has its bagey,
of miles of course In as few strokes
as possible Tho supreme object In
every game Is to approach as near
ly as posslblo tho fixed bogey score.
To achieve bogey 13 a thrill that
comes onco In a life timo or a
season at least. It is about like
holding four aces. Every stroke un
der bogoy brings rare honor indeed
and, it it is that kind of game,
raro financial emolument to the
player.
So a golfer looking over this
contract which fixed the Packard
company's profits at 15 per cent
of "bogey" or $G,087, it ho consid
ered the anology a correct one,
would probably conclude that the
government had driven n shrewd
bargain. He would conclude, based
on golf experience, that tho con
tractor would have his work cut
out for him if ho woro to keep the
production cost per engine within
$1,000 as low as bogey. Dut tho
framers of tho contract must havo
had something in mind that was
different from golf. Shortly after
the agreement was signed it became
apparent that the government had
driven anything but a shrewd bar
gain. Bogey price accordingly was
cut to $5000 and the percentage of
profit based on 12 1-2. This would
yield the Packard company $625 on
each engine, provided each engine
cost $5,000 to manufacture. In case
the company could beat bogey it
was to receive a bonus of 25 per
cent of tho saving.
It may do 30ino golfers good to
learn that once in his life-time old
Colonel Bogey got a heating that
made him look like a .nickel's worth
or radium. The Packard people sent
him to tho club house talking to him
self. On the first six hundred en
gines turned out. Packard smashed
thru that bogoy $5000 and turned in
an average of $3,573 on the cost
of thoso engines. For this feat of
prowess the company collected $G25
on each engine, or 12 1-2 percent
of $5000 and not $3,873, which
each engine actually cost, plus a
bonus of 25 percent ot the saving
of $1,127 on each motor, or $281.75.
Thus their profits per engine were
$95G, or nearer 25 percent than 12 1-2
percent of the cost price.
This was pretty good, but better
things wero yet in store for the
Packard Motor Car Co. The motors
became cheaper and cheaper to
make, bogey easier and easier to
beat. When 1,200 had been
turned out tho averago cost had
been scaled down to $3,413 per en
gine, and subsequent production
lowered the cost of tho whole to
about $3,200 each, so It appears
that towards tho end of tho con
tract the engines wero being made
for loss than $2,500 each, including
overhead. When the production av
erago dropped to $3,200 per engine
tho Packard company was still mak
ing its guarantee of $625 plus a
bonus which now amounted to $150,
or a total of $1,075 per engine. On
tho 3.GG0 motors dolivered before
tho armlstico tho company there
fore received, In addition to Its
fixed profits of $2,287,500, bonuses
running up into tho neighborhood
of $1,G47,000 a total ot $3,934,500,
which for 15 months' work was not
so bad.
It is not known what stops, If any,
havo been taken to nscortain wheth
er tho government can recover any
of tho money it paid the Packard
company, but suit for tho return
of $0,188,000 has already been
brought against anothor of Liberty
motors, the Lincoln Motor Co.,
which was recently acquired by
Henry Ford.
No such vigorous action seems to
havo been taken In the case of the
Wright-Martin Aircraft corporation
which owes the government $5,
2G7.47G, according to Investigator
Scalfo, who says In an official re
port: It was found that the minutes
of this company at the time It
was negotiating for a govern
ment contract stated that an "8
per cent profit was tho proper
profit to the company on gov
Legion Weekly)
ornmont contracts." Tho report
of tho government audit states
that tho profits actually charfl
cd and collected amounted to
270 per cent.
Among tho Items this firm col
lected from tho government Mr.
Scalfo cites accountants' fees total
ing $101,047 work of "no concern to
tho government." Stranger yet ap
pears a paymont of $14,864 "capi
tal stock tax." Tho company paid
its income tax, howovor, and a tidy
sum It must havo been In those
fat war years. It was somo Job fig
uring up these profits; In fact, cler
ical hlro alono amounts to $922
and tho government paid this hill!
Liberty bonds or other public funds
went to pay for $995 worth of cig
ars and $S4S worth of dinners giv
en by tho hospitable roprcscntativos
ot the company. It only took the
amount of a few war savings stamps
however, to tako care of tho item
which is entitled, "a box of La
Corona cigars for Mr. C. II. Hous
ton, $3.25."
Notwithstanding tho government
maintained a corps of guards at tho
company's plant, tho corporation cre
ated a secret sorvlco of Its own,
sparing no oxpenso becauso Undo
Sam met the payroll to tho tune
of $91,925. At ono timo thore wore
195 men In this mysterious organiz
ation ot which Mr. Scalfo charges
was "counter espionage against the
government." An oxample of the
wages paid appears in tbo case of
J. W. Wheatley, formor government
secret service agent, drawing $4,
420 a year. The "Wright-Martin peo
ple handed him a rotatner of $10,
000 and a yearly salary of $12,000,
with a $25,000 bonus for cancella
tion of this contract with tho treas
ury department. Sleuth Wheatley
compromised this last Item for $17,
500, so his first year's work nette
him only $39,500, notes Mr. Scalfo.
The company's original contracts
were on a fixed price basis but
later wero changed to cost-plus by
which operation the profits were in
creased. The fees to tho lawyers
who arranged this detail for tho
company were paid by the govern
ment, Mr. Scaife asserts.
After the armistice the company
bought up for $24,379 a quantity of
semifinished tools and work in
process involving material which
cost tho government $792,865. A bet
ter bargain, however, appears In
the sale of $1,000,000 worth of spe
cial tools and patterns to tho com
pany for $10,642. Tho company's ar
rangements In this deal wero In the
competent hands of G. H. Houston,
who smokes La Corona cigars.
Mr. Scaife reports that tho Wright-
Martin case was brought to tho
attention of tho attorney general
In October, 1921. Tho papers neeos
sary for suit for recovery of money
alleged to bo due tho United States
wero placed in tho hands of the
United States attorney in New York.
Mr. Scaife continues:
Thru tho activities of Charles
Hayden, a director of the Wright
Martin aircraft corporation, tho
secretary of war attempted to
dolay action in the case. Later
at the request of tho secretary
of war, tho case was withdrawn
from tho United States attorney
(at New York) and no
suit has been brought.
The presence ot enemy aliens In
factories turning out pianos and
equipment was a scandal in itself.
Frequently these artisans roso to
positions of responsibility, and tho
charge has been mado that the Ger
man government thru its spies,
sought to crlpplo our air production
effort. Japaneso capitalists openly
participated in our manufacturing
program, and in connection with
some of their operations. Investiga
tor Scalfo roports "the fraud on tho
government is apparent at a glance."
Tho Standard Aircraft Corpora
tion and tho Standard Aero Co. wero
owned by tho great Mitsui & Co.
The Mitsui family aro called tho
Rothchllds of Japan. In the United
States no single banking houso ex
orcises a domination which can bo
compared with the grip in which
the Mitsuls hold the financial af
fairs ot tho 'Japanese empire. In
addition to their vast private hold
ings Mitsui & Co. are tho fiscal
agents ot tho Japanese government.
They are the Mikado's paymasters
thruout tho world, and before the
war they ncted as paymasters for
tho great German International se
cret service.
Mr. Scalfo says a government au
dit of tho Standards transactions re
veals tho companies were overpaid
$6,500,000.

MOVIES TRANSLATED
FOR THE JAPANESE
(From Ma'kawell Plantation News)
Tho plantation Welfare Depart
ment tried out something now last
month In tho way ot movie shows,
and it proved quite successful. In
order to give tho Japaue.so on the
plantation, who do not read Eng
lish, the bonefit of a real fiist
class English movie show, a Jap
anese translator v.v.s engaged und
shows given nt tho Community
House, Camp 5 and Camp 2, with
the main feauro translated. Judg
ing from tho turnout It was a de
cided success and will bo repeated
again this month. If thuso shows
provo popular tho- will bo given
regularly which will enahlo tho
Japaneso of tho community to sea
tho best movies at tho prices ot
the regular plantation shows.
Honolulu, Nov. 29. A program
of more concerted cooperation be
tween federal officials and local
enforcement agencies is planned for
tho coming year, federal prohibition
commissioner, It. A. Hnvnes. udvls-
es Director John F. Colburn III, of
this territory.
Section 2, of tho enforcement net
divides tho responsibility between
iuq government nnd tho states.
radically all ot the states havo
enacted legislation to this end. the -
various state agencies report increas
ing evidenco of co-operation.
Commissioner Hnynes anys that
every stato, county nnd city hns
tne initial responsibility of cleaning
up its own conditions thru locallv
selected officials, before the feder
al machinery should bo expected to
tako charge. Hence, tho necessity
of close co-operation between tho
states and federnl agencies.
Director John F. Colburn III, Is
greatly pleased with the progress
that Jias been made in enforcement
in this territory und is most optim
istic in regards to tho future, in
view of the spirit of co-operation
In evidenco proctically everywhere.
More and more is tho public con
vinced that tho success of enforce
ment lies as much with the pooplo
themselves ns with tho officers who
nre designated to enforce tho law.
In spite of the obstacles nnd many
complications prohibition is show
ing itself as a means of pronounced
public betterment, of improved liv
ing conditions, and healthier, Imp
pier human beings. There is evi
dence everywhere of marked pro
gress in the way ot enforcement.
This is not the time to be impa
tient nor discouraged, for tho friends
of tho law are truly in action, as
shown b yreports which Commis
sioner Haynes has received from tho
various states, justifying tho optim
ism which ho entertains.
Reducing tho source of supply,
thru concerted nction, in Commis
sioner Haynes' opinion, will aid ma
terially in enforcement and also
make for economy, for, as he says,
economy has been tho watchword
of tho administration. Concentration
of bonded whiskey in a smaller
number of bonded warehouses will
result in tho saving of at least $300,
000 per annum. A saving of $250,
000 has been effected thru reduc
tions secured in rental of office and
storago space and the disposition
of seized property. A further saving
of $1GG,900 annually has been ef
fected by tho readjusting of salaries.
Tho greater efficiency of admin
istration is clearly reflected In the
reduction of taxnald. withdrawals
of alcohol as measured in tax gal
lons. In tho year ended Junu 30,
1921, these withdrawals aggregated
2G,27G,G0G and in 1922 only 1C,
390,003. Referring to the cry that prohi
bition Is a failure, Commissioner
Hayues says that In his judgment,
ono of the most remarkable suc
cesses ever nttaincd in tho enforce
ment of a new and drastic law has
been recorded In the present status
of enforcement of the national pro
hibition act.
A completo reorganization hns
been effected in the Inst fifteen
months. Fifty-one director's offices
have been established in each stato,
and Hawaii, Porto Rico nnd Alas
ka. These complete changes In tho
reorganization of the work have re
sulted in tho elimination of dupli
cation of work and a greater effi
ciency. Experienced men of un
doubted integrity havo been called
into service. The Washington offico
ot over COO employees and all the.
field forces have become enthused
with tho greatness of the tnsk. Thirty-two
hundred and one temporary
an permanent appointments havo
been made during this 15-month per
iod.
A new foaturo of tho organization
Is tho general agents' force operat
ing independent of tho director's
forces. To date this force has re
ported 3,231 cases, and recommend
ed taxes in tho amount ot $24,103,-824.62.
The narcotic forces, which also
operato under tho prohibition unit.
havo also been' reorganized. Tharo
has resulted such an increase of
efficiency that with no lnrger ap
propriation or appreciable incronso
In field force, there has been an
increaso of C5 per cent In the num
ber ot violations roportcd in tho
period ot one year, and nn Increaso
of 100 per cent in tho convlctloua
secured,
