Brady has utterly failed TO explain the system
he employed for expedition AMI increase of pay of
star routes upon any theory consistent with just
regard for the interests OF the government. He
first said that he accepted the statements OF mem
bers OF Congress and OF petitioners as represent
Ing the wants and necessities OF the different
tlSnS OF the country, and made them the basis of
h's orders; but when he was confronted with the
TACT that he had gOn" beyond the requests thus
presented to him, in ordering expedition, ami In
some cases had eX )edItei routes TO much
faster schedule than had been petti0uad for, he
fell back upon his moods" Sometimes he was in
a fast mood, ard he ordered fast time routes,
but ii appears that his 'mOods" were invariably
beneficial TO the contractors ana detrimental to
the government lie never had economical moods.
