WHAT'S An Augmentation For?

legatee Of Morton, Secretary VIII

Morton WAS thrifty; the zeal with
which he Laid the axe To the root Of the
free-seed eNil is not forgotten. He
Topped eff salaries, stopped sinecures,
curtailed and saved. Ills ambition was
to show that he could make a saving
out Of the appropriation voted by con-
gfess for the running Of the farmers

Morton retired his books showed that
during his eight months of the fiscal
year ending July |. 1897, he had spent

larry Wilson Of 81, 100000.
On the Morton plan this balance
would have carried the department Of
