IN Etghty-Efght
When the Democrats came into
power they made great show of
economy by reducing the force in va
riOus offices under the pretense that
there were more persons employed and
higher salaries paid than there ought
to be- Now, nearly all of them are
asking for increased clerical force and
increased salaries. The law requires
the Secretary of the Treasury to sub
NIT to Congress, every two years. a
book of estimates of Government ex-
penditures for the next two years.
This is based on the requests and rec
concentrations of the heads of depart
ments. The estimates submitted to
this Congress show that nearly every
department official is asking for an i'm
crease of force and salaries The Post
master-General says: The salaries of
many officers of the department are
grossly inadequate and unfair" He
asks for several new officials and an
crease of salaries amounting TO
$3.50 a year. The Secretary of the
Treasury. the different auditors, the
COmptrO Ter Of the Currency. the Chief
of the Bureau of Statistics. the Com
missioner of Agriculture. and nearly
all the other heads of bureaus ask for
an increase. In every case the salaries
are the same as those paid to Republican
officials which. for campaign effect,
were charged to be excessive. Where
additional clerks are asked for il is to
