President knew officially he might be
called upon to pay tor every mile he
travelled out of his own pocket. He
had been given assurances, however,
that the urgent deficiency bill would
carry the item, and that it would be
passed at the earliest possible moment
So he went ahead and made his New
England trip ION tick"
The railroads did not feel that they
were running much risk to trust him;
when all is said and done the President
of the United States is good for quite
a sizeable bill in any store, and their
confidence was shown to be justified
by the speedy passage of the deficiency
measure. The money was appropriate
ed in the face of mild Democratic
opposition, and it is more than likely
that before this time all the bills for
the journey have been paid.
With so many miles of travel ahead
of him this year Mr.. Taft cannot hope
to turn back to the Treasury sum
even fractionally as large as he re-
linquished on June 80. He will con-
slider himself fortunate if he gees
through the year without spending
little of his own salary on railroad
fares and Pullman service. At the
least computation the coming trip will
cost him $4,000, even though he
breaks all records for economical go
ing Add the $1,000 that the New Eng
land trip doubtless cost him to the
$1o, 900 that he will spend going West
and South, and you see that $4,000 of
his twelve months allowance is burn
ed up before the middle of November.
mis- will leave him only $4,000 for
the remaining seven and a half months
of the business year.
AS soon as he gets back from the
West, Mr. Taft is planning to visit
Connecticut to attend the installation
, of a college president and after that
trip he will take a run out to his old
home in Cincinnati. These little
jaunts will eat up another thousand
or so of the fast vanishing appropria-
! ton.

Taft Will Economic
On Travel Allowance

WASHINGTON August 15.-In a
few days-on September Is, to be exact
President Taft will start out on
trip to the West and South that will
break all records of Executive travel.
Few, however who do not know the
Presidents plans would be able to
guess how this projected tour will
make history for itself. Three other
Presidents of the United States have
journeyed to the far Pacific Coast and
it would seem, established a few re-
cords OF their own. Harrison, Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt all went on
handshaking and speechmaking jaunts
and if they left anything undone in
either line the newspapers of their day
failed to record thief act Every mile
stone along the transcontinental lines
was harangued and every coyote and
prairie dog between the Mississippi
and the Great Divide got a view of at
least one of the three perambulating
Presidents.
In the matter of miles to be covered
Taft will not wobble the Roosevelt re-
cord of 1908, for he expects to travel
only little more than $1,000 miles
this fall When his predecessor went
to the coast 6 years ago he reeled or
1900 miles before his return to Wasn-
ington. 1t Is in the line of economy
that Taft will leave his predecessors
hopelessly behind. In the tour he is
planning he will be accompanied all
the way by his old friend Democratic
simplicity.
Those registering fellows, Vain Show
and Needless Expense, who were on
the Harrison, Mckinley and Roosevelt
trips to the coast will be left behind.
No matter how strenuously they may
endeaotoyr
endeavor to climb aboard when the
President isn't looking they will not
be permitted under any circumstances
to set foot on the Executives car. This
is official and also remarkable, for
who on earth ever heard of a public
official travelling before at the public
expense without taking one or both
of these old fayorites along? Quite
often, it is true, Vain Show has been
left off of junkets planned and eXecut-
ed on the quiet, but never in history
has Needless Expense been given such
a cruel blow by public servant.
PRESIDENT TAFT'S ECONOMY.
One paragraph will convince the
most skeptical of Mr.. Taft's intention
to hold expenses down to bed rock
The trip he is planning will cost the
Treasury no more than $4,000; the
Roosevelt coast trip burned up $50,OOI
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-09-04

of good money. Taft will have only
one and one-half cars at his disposal
Roosevelt had train of five. Taft
will travel on regular trains; Roose-
welt ran special from Washington
to Bellingham, from Belingham to Los
Angeles and from Los Angeles back to
Washington again. Taft will be ac-
companied by only his secretary and
one or two White House attaches;
Roosevelt had a retinue of 20 in his
wake.
Still, frugally as Taft will proceed to
the Golden Gate and back, his going
and coming will cost the United States
Treasury more than the journey of his
predecessor six years ago. This
sounds like a paradox or as though the
writer of these lines was qualifying
to take Thaw's place in Hatteawan,
but, nevertheless, it is a sober, sane
and plain matter of fact.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
paid the bill for the entire Journey
made by Roosevelt-for the Pullman
cars, for the porters, walters and train
crews, for the food eaten, the cigars
smoked and the cheering beverages
consumed during all the &C days that
the Presidential party was on wheels,
So, too, did the railroads settle the
bills for the Harrison and Mckinley
tours to the coast.
But, you remark, if the roads were
SO generous to Harrison, Mckinley anC
Roosevelt, why not to Taft? Why
should they not swing him around the
circle, too, for a handshake with the
great American voter and his wife?
THE LAW LIMITS RAILROAD
HOSPITALITY.
The answer is easy to find. The
former Presidents travelled West be-
fore the railroad rate law went into
effect If Mr.. Taft were to accept free
transportation at the HANDS of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company OF
any other concern carrying passengers
across the boundaries of any of thu
sovereign States of the Union, or o.
the Territories, or of the District O.
Columbia, he would be liable to flint
and sentence to the penitentiary. So
too, would the men who gave him tn,
free ride across the sacred borde
lines.
But while we are discussing the sub
ject we should not forget that wheI
Mr.. Roosevelt rode at the expense o
the railroad companies it was no
against the law. In fact, the publ
at large held a deep-seated notion tina
any one who could do" rallroa
company was entitled to all he got
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-09-04

and ought to receive the public thanks
as well. 1t should also be remem-
bered that in the case of Roosevelt,
Mckinley, and Harrison, the railroads
were not done" in any sense of the
word, even though they did contribute
handsomely to the gayety of the Ma
tion.
Every line that handled the Presl
dents trains or paid for provender
aboard their cars got back the money
five for one. Crowds of thousands up
on thousands flocked to the towns
appear, and the crowds had to be
hauled from their home and back
again. The extra business thus hand
led by the roads repaid them many
times over for the money they ex
pended on the Presidential travellers.
But this year it may be guessed, if
the roads can get the boom in business
without contributing as in days gone
by, they will accept with alacrity.
TAFT'S TRAVELLING FUND.
President Taft has at his disposal
$4,000 for travelling expenses during
the present fiscal or Governmental
year, which runs from July 1 to July
l. President Roosevelt, who was the
first Executive to be given a travel
fund by Congress, had a similar
amount to spend at his discretion, and
when he left office on March 4 turned
over to Mr.. TAFT about $4,000 of the
fund untouched.
Up to the close of the year on July
1, Mr.. Taft spent about $1,000 of this
amount, and then turned back to the
Treasury the remainder, something
like $4,000. OF course, strictly speak
ing, neither President ever fingered a
dollar of the money, and never a cent
of the fund ever left the Treasury I'M
till after it was spent for travelling.
Then it was disbursed by warrant
drawn upon the Treasury of the Unit
! ed States
AS soon as the year for which the
appropriation was made had ended,
with midnight of June 80, the fund was
no longer available; it was swallowed
up in the General Fund" of the Treas
ury, and might be used by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury for any purpose
for which cash was needed
If the President, therefore, had $751;
S95 of this travel fund left on the
morning of June 80, he might, had
he been so disposed, have handed it all
over to, some railroad or steamship
company for "joy rides" But on the
stroke of midnight the fund was
snatched from him, and on July !
he was absolutely broke as far as
travel money was concerned.
When Mr.. Roosevelt made his trip
to Beverley, Norwich and Lake Cham
plain, beginning July and ending
July 8, he had nothing to travel on
except his face" Congress had not
yet appropriated the $4,000 for the
present fiscal year, and, as far as the
