M. Bennington, - - Editor A. G. Hinckley, Business Manager WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1906. Washington Chat. That there is a woeful lack of system and considerable waste of money in the purchasing of supplies for the var ious government departments in Wash ington, is shown by the facts brought to light in the investigations of the committee appointed by the president to lriok into such affairs. For years it has been the custom for each of the several government bureaus to Six its own standard of quality in the different articles used and to make its own purchase of such articles, en tirely independent of all other depart ments. By this method the govern ment has been buying 28 different kinds of ink, 279 different kinds of pens, 12 different makes of typewriter ribbons and 123 different kinds of pencils. In some cases one department pays more than another for one and the same article. For instance, one bureau pays $1.70 for a dozen quarts of ink while another pays $3.00 per dozen quarts and similar conditions prevail as to many other articles. To overcome this evil and to save Uncle Sam some money, it is now proposed to appoint a general supply board to be under the control and supervision of the Secretary of Com merce and Labor. The head of each government department is to designate one expert employe to serve as a mem ber of the board which will prepare a schedule of the various supplies needed for all of the bureaus, advertise for proposals and then make proper award of contracts. This system would bring matters down to a strictly business basis and is something that should have been done long ago. The most carelessly managed private business concern would hardly permit such a wasteful system as that which has so long prevailed in the big offices of Uncle Sam. Not in many a day has there been witnessed in Washington such a pat riotic spectacle as that which took place at one of the leading theaters on Monday night. On that occasion, one hundred and eighty sailors of the American navy, dressed in uniform and from vessels stationed at the Washing ton Navy Yard, witnessed a perform ance of a popular play. They were seated all through the auditorium and here and there throughout the assem blage, sat their superior officers, many of them accompanied by their wives. Just as the overture ended there was a stir in one of the boxes nearest the stage. It was caused by the entrance of the President of the United States, the Commander-in-Chief of the navy. Every "Jackie" arose from his seat instantly and his hand went to his temple. The President smiled and bowed, the orchestra played the Nation al air and the notable gathering set tled itself to enjoy the play. The invitation to the bluejackets was extended through the Secretary of the Navy and in accepting it from the management of the theater the Secre tary characterized the courtesy as "a practical demonstration of appreciation of the services rendered to the country by all persons belong'ng to the navy, and a recognition of the fact that the uniform they wear is a badgeof honor." The convening of Congress never fails to bring the usual number of cranks to Washington but this time they seem to be here in greater num bers than ever and the Capitol police force is having a time of it to lay hold of the more violent ones in order to place them out of harm's way in the Government Hospital for the Insane. One fellow has a scheme for bottling sunshine, another wants Congress to appropriate a million dollars to build a railroad to the Moon, while a soldierly looking man asserts that he is the com mander of all the armies of the world. He endeavors to interview Senators to ask their assistance in securing several billion dollars to feed, clothe and in struct his gigantic army. So far, all the cranks have centered their attentions at the Capitol for few have made their appearance at the White House, much to the relief of the alert officers at that place who have become so expert in spotting these un fortunates that they are taken in charge almost the instant they enter the gates of the White House grounds. The people all over the country are evidently awakening to the fact that the government is paying exhorbitant sums annually to the railroads for the hauling of the mails, judging from the pressure that is being brought to bear on congress to investigate the cost of transportation. Strange to say, con gress has very little knowledge of how the money for this purpose is spent, but it proposes to know more about the matter than it does now, since the claim is made that $4,000,000 can be saved «ach year. The total appropriation for the haul ingjjoffthe mails is $45,000,000 annually, quitejan item tin the earnings of the railroads. The basis for this enormous outlay is the average daily weight of the mails, but it is declared by same representatives who have investigated the matter, that such an average is a false one and that if payment was made on h true average, the saving would amount to the four millions, perhaps more. It is likely a resolution will shortly bejntroduced in the house calling on the postofiice department for complete and detailed information, with refer ence as to how the mails are weighed, where the money appropriated by con gress goes, and various other phases of the subject. The railroad interests are already worried over the prospects and now have a lobby here to prevent any cut in their compensation. It is expected that early considera tion will be given by the senate to the general service pension bill, if the plans of the committee on pensions go through. The bill has already been passed |by the house but parts of it did not meet with the approval of the sen ate, which amended it in several par ticulars, one amendment providing that any soldier of the Civil war who has served for ninety days, has been hon orably discharged, and who shall have reached the age of sixty-two years, 1 shall receive a pension of $12 a month, to be increased to $15 a month when he shall have reached the age of seventy five years. It is estimated that an ad- . ditional appropriation of $10,714,000 annually would be required to pay the j increased rate provided by the bill to the soldiers now on the pension rolls. It is probable that the bill as amended will come up shortly after the Christ mas recess, and if indications count for anything, favorable action will result. When the bill passes, the pension office is in excellent condition to handle the work promptly, which would mean that all soldiers coming under the provision of the amendment would derive benefit without delay. One by one the old landmarks around Washington are giving way to the march of progress. The latest to go, or one nearly gone, is the old long bridge, that famous structure across the Potomac which for years has served as the "gateway to the south." Built in 1812,'. it was fired by the British when' they attacked the Capital in 1814. Dur ing the 60's it figured in the Civil war, and in '98 several companies of soldiers in the Spanish war crossed it to reach Washington from their camps in the south. When the federal troops in 1861 set out to invade Virginia they crossed the Potomac by means of this bridge, and after the battle of Bull Run they re-crossed it in panic. The name of the Long bridge become na tionally familiar in connection with that disaster. During recent years this bridge has been a menace to Washing ton, its reinforced tiers choking the the channel in times of Hood, and its low-lying superstructure checking the outflow of ice and drift-wood. It has been replaced by two iron bridges, one for railways and the other for ordinary traffic. The old bridge is a historic relic that will not be mourned. The United States has ceased paying the expenses of the American troops now stationed in Cuba, the government authorities deciding that the present costs be paid directly out of the Cuban treasury. Such is the information given • to congress by the secretary of war. ' Congress is keeping a close watch on the Cuban financial situation with the idea of curtailing further expenses in that direction. Already something more than $2,0W.000 has been spent and the time is drawing near when steps will be taken to secure a reim bursement of this amount. An item ized account has been kept of all ex penditures, and while the claim is not to be pressed at present, it is believed that an order may shortly be made by the president to the provisional gover nor of the island to transfer a monthly sum from the Cuban to the United States treasury as payment on this claim. It is the idea of the committee on appropriutions of the house to square things financially with the Cu bans and do it as quickly as the rev enues of the island will permit. When the president was away the past summer and the changes were made in and around the White House, the tile roofing of the building connect ing the White House proper to the ex ecutive offices, was replaced by a con crete roofing as smooth and level as a hardwood floor. The president soon found that when he wanted to take a stroll in the open air, where he could exercise and work out some of the problems that confronted him, and in a place free from the public gaze, the new roof was just the thing as it was of ample size and was walled in by a coping upon which was placed shrubs and plants. Of late, however, the president has had little chance to en joy his roof garden a-* it has been turned into a roller skating rink by his two sons, Archie and Quentin, who with their boy friends, hold high car nival each week day after school is out. Not infrequently the president goes up on the roof to watch the sport and ap parently he enjoys it as much as the youngsters. He is satisfied that the skating should take place on the roof instead of on the concrete streets around the White House, where there has always been danger of accident from automobiles and other vehicles.
