Special Correspondence to The Press

WASHINGTON, April 3O.-The
perquisites Of the presidential Of
fee serve to increase the salary of
the chief executive by nearly a
third. There is difficulty in dis
tinguishing between perquisites and
departmental expenses, but that is
about the way it would work out
In addition to his salary of $780,
600 there is fund of $4,000 APP
propriated by congress to defray
travelling expenses. This fund is
not available for any purpose eX-
cept presidential trips, and if the
president does not travel it is not
used. During the past year Presi'
dent Roosevelt has not used a
tenth of THIS appropriation.
In addition to salary and travel
the president has the use of the
White House free of rent. This
includes furnishing, heat, light, and
the necessary service to keep the
building heated and busted and the
grounds, in proper condition. 1t
does not, however, include the reg
ular force of house servants. The
government provides steward at
81 800 year, and a few regular
house attendants. mostly cOlOred
men, who have been in the White
House for many years, some dating
from Lincoln's time.
The president pays his own cook
laundress, and all the house serv
ants who are employed in the liv'
ing part of the building. He also
pays for all food brought into the
White House, including all dinners
private or state.
In addition to salary, travel
money, and house rent, the presi
dent is supplied by congress with a
contingent fund" of $4,000, to be
used by the president at his discre
ton in hiring laborers, buying sta
tionary for the executive office, and
keeping up the stables connected
with the White House.
This does not mean that the gov
eminent pays for the keep OF
Roosevelt's private horses. AS a
matter of fact, his own horses are

vate stable, as the official stables
are located on low soggy ground
which has proved very unhealthy
for the horses. But it is the only
quarters furnished by congress for
the regular White House stock, the
horses which draw the official car
riage which takes the president to
the capitol when he goes once a
year to sign bills, or which takes
his secretary when the latter car

The White House is divided into
business and private departments.

House is treated much as a separ-
ate government department. If all

to the president, or to the White
House, they would make the total
far above 100000 year.
What the president costs in a
year depends on how much he
travels, and whether he draws all
the $4,000 for contingent expenses
like horse feed, new harness, paint
ing the White House hack, or buy
ing a new team.

COUNCIL NEEDS
BIG STICK
OBEDIENCE TO GREAT NORTH
ERN'S FLIMSY PROTESTS
AGAINST HONEST WEIGHT
ORDINANCE HARD TO UN-
DERCTANn Q

LEI . ANU
Inspector Powell fays the city
council this morning for allowing a
postponement of the weights and
measures ordinance on request of
Judge M. J. Gordon of the Great
Northern. He says that first the
wholesalers of the city caused the
postponement for two weeks. Then
Judge Gordon got it postponed for
another two weeks. Then the
wholesalers again.
Two weeks ago 1t was reported
out of the committee of the whole
for final passage and the whole
salers admitted that it was all
right.
Tuesday night Judge Gordon ap-
peared again and got it postponed
for another two weeks on a very
fiimsy excuse. Judge Gordon said
that the proposed charge of 3 cents
cord for the measurement of
wood was too much and would re-
suit in the city collecting enough
money OIL this work alone to hire
two inspectors at SIS each a month.
In reply Mr.. Powell says that in
the city of Washington they charge
8 cents cord ami do not consider
it too much. Regarding the sug-
gestion the Judge made that two
men at $i5 month could be en-
ployed off the earnings from inspec-
ton of cordwood, Powell says that
competent men could not be en-
ployei for that sum and adds that
the Judge bases his figures on the
wages of the Japs the Great North.
ern employs.
Another objection of Judge Cor
don was that it is impossible to
measure wood in boxcars. The in.
spector asks how the railroad meas
ures it and charges 81 a cord for
hauling from within radius of 100
miles Of Spokane. He says the
road complies the number of cubic
feet in car and tells the shippers
that hey can put SO many cords
into it, and they may put that
many in or not, but they will be
charged for it just the same.
A campaign to force dealers tC
sell 1913 cubic feet for cord is to
be begun within a few days. AT
present cordwood is shipped three
inches short on every stick, and
thus 1t is sold to the consumer. In.
spector Powell says that this
amounts to steal of one cord out
of every Is. Nevertheless, no mat
ter how the wood is shipped or how
much Is shipped for cord, dealers
will have to live up to the standard
cord of 1913 cubic feet when selling
to the consumer.
Nobody has attempted to account
for the councils Indifference to this
important measure It's time tC
make a search for the reason.
