Heads of scientific bureaus write
articles for the popular magazines,
using government time and material
for the purpose. In some of the de-
partments there is q considerable
traffic by subordinates in "informa-
ton"
The departments are honeycombed
with petty jealousies, and many of
the small chiefs spend the greater
part of their energies scheming with
the politicians for their own prefer
ment and the downfall of others who
seem to trespass on their little do
mains.
If President Roosevelt unwinds all
the red tape of the Washington de-
partments he will do a bigger stunt
than lassoing all the trusts.

Then the letter goes to the COM
missioner of the general land office,
where 1t is taken to the mailing di-
vision. From here it is referred to
the surveying, mining, mineral or
other division, as the subject mat
ter seems to warrant.
If 1t Is a complex subject matter
1t Is likely to be referred consecu-
lively to all these divisions in turn.
BY them it Is also likely to be re-
ferred to the office Of the assistant
attorney general for the interior de-
partment, where 1t is sifted for pos
sible legal questions. Any legal ques-
ton has to be passed upon by that
division.
Finally a reply Is framed up, and
this Is returned to the commissioner
of the land Office for his signature.
If the letter is regarded as Of suf-
ficient Importance, it is then referred
to the Office of the secretary of the
interior, whose clerks and private
secretary take few cracks at 1t.
Then 1t is ready for the sender.

The above rigamarole, which Is
literally true, accounts for the delay
in hearing from the departments.
The business of the interior depart
ment, for example, in many of it's
bureaus, Is over a year behind, and
some departments are over two years
back.
Representative James Tawney has
constituent who tried for three
months to get simple matter of
business through the interior depart
ment He failed to get any salts
faction, and finally hired lawyer in
Washington to go and look 1t UP. 1t
was transacted in 10 minutes.
A special class of quasi-lawyers
has grown up about the big govern
ment departments. whose entire bust
ness is practice before the depart
ments." In simple terms, this means
getting through the red tape bar
riers."
For the man who has any real
business of Importance to transact
with the government department it
is cheaper in the long run to pay one
of these alleged experts to go and do
it for him.
The principal asset of the man who
practices before the departments is
knowing the man to see. In addition,
he may also have an acquaintance
with a few chiefs or heads of bu-
reaus, and it is not impossible that
he divides the spoils with somebody.
1t is the business of the chief to
make things difficult, and of the de-
partment attorney to use his pull to
ease them up again.

from the clerks that the device was

Then the electric connections got

down. He supplied an electrician
