GRAFT IN PUBLIC WORK.

VAI HILE rendering a decision cutting down
w the pay of some Ashokan Dam Com
mssoners, at Troy N. Y, Justice Wesley O.
Howard, a learned jurst remarked that in his
opinion at least forty per cent of all money APP
propriated for public work goes in graft.
The court did not attempt to say what per-
centage of the money expended in the dam con-
demnation proceedings went in graft but the
figure is much higher than forty per cent if the
stories they telling about the scandalous pill
ing up of expenses by commissioners and others
who have finger in the pie are to be believed. 1t
has been said that many of the well-paid COM
missioners holding other positions, private or
public, so arrange matters that they give a little
time to their work commissioners and charge
for full day. This is simply method OF plum
dering like the committee meetings OF Whining
ton Counclmen, years ago
If the New York Judge should investigate the
work of each commissioner and make him de-
tail what services he has rendered, there would
be a saving of considerable money to the tax
payers. Commissioners not only in New York
but in other places are always well paid for
their work.
The greatest graft seems to be in the construc-
ton of public buildings and public works. Most
of the large cities complain of it. Debt piles up
in cities and a great share of the debt must be
due to graft and extravaganza.
What commentary this is on our capacity to
manage public affairs. Men who should man
age their private affairs as they often conduct
public business would soon go into bankruptcy.
Careful expenditures OF money would enable us
to do much more than we do in municipal mat
ters. A municipal corporation should conduct its
business as private corporation does If pri-
vate corporation has a charter that is not suited
to its conditions it gets new one in short or
der that is if the members of She corporation are
capable men. If a city has charter that is an
tiquated and not fitted to its needs, it should get
a new one

too frequently passed over in favor Of the
consultant. and so he finds 1t harder and
harder to make a living.
The passing Of the general practitioner
into the limbo of forgotten things would
be an irretrievable loss to the profession
and the public at large In the sick
rom, in the family, in tho everyday life
of his puatients the general practitioner
of the past has been power for good at
least equal to that Of the pastor or minis
ter, and his moral influence has been a
national asset. There is no thoughtful
member Of the profession of the widest
experience who can quietly contemplate
the threatened extinction of the general
practitioner without serious apprehension.
The general practitioner, by his knowl-
edge OF the patient and his history, was
led to an accurate study OF the nature Of
each case, which he was able to pass on
to the consultant, whose trusted colleague
and representative he thus became when a
second opinion became desirable. 1t is not
too much to say that the passing Of the
general practitioner will mean the practi-
cal extinction OF the physician.
