LACK OF SECURITY.
/ System of Bonding Government Officials
Needs Looking After.

System of Bonding Governments Officials
Needs Looking After.
WASHINGTON, Jan 3a.-The bonding
of public officials is a subject which has
been under discussion by the house COM
mittee on appropriations for several days,
and the committee has concluded that it
is q field in which there is great room for
reform.
The irregularities and lack of system
governing the securities taken by the
government for the performance of Off
cial duties were first inquired into by the
experts of the Dockery commission
and brought to the attention of the COM
mittee. Recently the heads of several
departments and bureaus have been be-
fore the subcommittee on appropria-
tions which is framing the legislative
bill, and it has been shown that the
surety system is probably more lax than
that of any other government.
Many officers are bonded for term of
four years, and If, as often happens, there
Is delay in the appointment of the sue
cessors and they continue to otficiate. the
government is left without any guarantee
or means of making good losses if any
are incurred through their acts
This lapse is frequent in the cases of
first class postmasters, but the assistant
treasurers of the United States present
the most conspicuous examples since
their bondsmen, according to decisions
by the courts, cease to be responsible at
the end of four years, and the govern
ment is left with no recourse in case of
default in the interim until the appoint
ment of their successors
1t is apparent. however. that there will
be no time TO adopt any new plan at this
session of congress, so the committee
will leave that work for the next con-
gress- Some necessary reforms to go into
immediate effect and act as safeguards
until general system shall be estab-
lished are embodied in a bill introduced
by Representative Dockery
It provides that all bonds of United
States officials shall be examined at
least every two years by the officials re-
CURED by law to take and approve them,
for the purpose of ascertaining the suf-
hciency of the amount and the sureties
Also requiring the same officers to cause
bonds to be renewed four years after
their date. strengthened or renewed
oftener if thought necessary, with dis
erection. however, to waive the require
ment of a new bond for the period of
service of bonded officer after the ex-
piration of his term, and pending the
appointment of his successor, the Iiabili-
ty of principal sureties on the original
bond to continue during this period.
The house has authorized the appro-
priation committee to attach the bill to

CHANDLER ALARMED.
He Sees Wonderful Possibilities in tn
Pooling Bill.

Pooling BILL
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 80. In the
senate today Mr.. Chandler introduced
the following resolution:
Resolved, hat the interstate commerce
commission be directed to send to the
senate a statement prepared from the
later returns to the office of the commits
sion showing the capitalization of all and
each of the eight principal railway lines
transporting passengers and merchan-
disc between Chicago and the Atlantic
seaboard, showing also the proportion
which such capitalization bears to the
total capitalization of railroads of the
United States, and including also, the
last years statement of the aggreg gate
gross and net income of said lines, also
compared with the gross and net income
of all the railroads of the United States.
Mr.. Chandler said this information
was necessary to understand the effect of
the bill recently reported from the COM
mittee on interstate commerce. He
quoted the section of the bill allowing
pooling, and continued:
1.-The authority given by the paragraph
is stupendous. Under such authority all
railroads of the country may pool all
their gross earnings from all sources.
They may virtually unite or
form one company or part
ACISA1k Will CdDILdl1ZaL1Ol
equal to that existing June 30. 1898, of
81, 506. 235, 410; the gross earnings of
which were for the year then ending
81, 22U, ISL ,s74; and the net income, after
paying fixed charges, was $111, 058,03
They may agree to commit agreement
and disposition OF this gross, or net, in
come to a managing board of ten, or even
of three, officers of the various roads
"Ihis board can be given authority and
discretion to pay out for the purpose
of controlling legislatures. state or
national, or other public officers or for
any other purposes such portions as they
may see lit, of the gross or net earn
ings of this gigantic partnership. and
afterwards to divide the remand
er of the net earnings among the various
companies according to arbitrary fixed
! portions of 100 per cent of the whole.
THE profits of railroad management
depend largely upon the rate of the
wages paid. The companies may en-
| body in their partnership agreement a
schedule of wages for alt the classes of
railroad operatives to be maintained on
all the railroads of the company"
| The senator then read the amendment
| he offered in committee, and said he
/ could see no reason for the rel ection of
| the amendment, holding that if it is not
! intended that the interstate commerce
commission shall make an investigation,
then the promise is fraud and decep-
! ton On the people.

Opponents of the Reilly Refunding Bill

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30-The western
representatives who are working against
the Reilly Pacific railroad bill, have
practically come to an understanding
that they will support Representative
Boatner's bill for a Pacific rail-
road commission, provided he
will amend it in one important particular.
The feature which they oppose is that
which provides that the purchasers. in
case the roads are sold under foreclosure,
shall assume all the debts of the old
companies and shall give the United
States mortgage on the property, paya-
bic in fifty years at 3 per cent
They object to the road bearing so
large capitalization. as they say
the western states will have to bear the
burden in high traffic rates
