The Wasteful Renting Policy

The chairman of the Senate committee
on public buildings and grounds has late
~ been doing some figuring on the sub
ject of the cost of housing the govern
ment's detached bureaus in rented quar-
tiers in Washington, with a result that
may be surprising to many legislators
and consistent advocates of economy in
the public administration. 1t is, how
ever, not at all surprising to those who
have been for years urging Congress to
adopt a businesslike policy in providing
for its own building needs. The Star has
repeatedly noted the large sums paid an
nually in rentals for an inadequate ac-
commodation for several thousand of the
public service employees and the insecure
housing of valuable records.
Chairmafs Scott learns that the govern
ment is now paying from 10 to IL per
cent annually on the cost of the build
ings which IL occupies, not owned by
itself. He suggests that TO provide. ade-
auate modern structures TO replace these

Roosevelt and the Interviewers

A brisk young reporter met distin-
guished Englishman on shipboard down
New York bay, and asked him as the boat
neared the dock what he thought of
America. II hope to think we'll of it after
seeing a little of it." replied the visitor.
Gould L trouble you to call with your
question at the end of my stay, say q
month from now?'
Promptly upon arriving at Gondokoro
Mr. Roosevelt was interrogated about
politics. He had been out of touch with
politics for full ten months, chasing the
antelope over the plain, and making life
uncertain for many of the beasts of
Africa, but here was a request for an
opinion right away about all that had
taken place in the world at large during
his absence. Mr.. Roosevelt must have
said to himself. This. indeed. is like old
times. l am again within the bounds of
civilization
The mighty hunter asked for an oppor-
tunity to read up" He had no informa-
ton upon which to base an opinion.
Clearly, then. the reporter must see him
later After he has shed his hunting
toggery. laid aside his gun, washed up.'
and consulted the newspaper files, he will
be In position to talk politics But not
before
Here is a small sample of the impa-
thence Mr. Roosevelt will meet with as he
approaches home. A hundred fnquisitors
with pads and pencils in hand, will sur
round him and demand, Your opinion. or
your life! What do you think of the Taft
administration? What about your fu-
ture? Are you going back at once into
politics? If so, shall we enter you as
candidate for President two years hence
II not. then what? Shall you write his
tory, or biography? Become the head Of
an institution of learning. or a lecturer
at such place? Supervise the closing
work at Panama, or take charge of a big
show for celebrating the opening of the
canal? Let US have an answer at once
please, as the country is impatient"
Again Mr.. Roosevelt will have to ask
for time. He will not be ready for the i'm
Fortunate interviewers. He will probably
have heard in general terms about how
this American world has been wapsfne in
his absence, but will not be prepared at
that time to go on record as to his plans
He will want fuller particulars as to poll
tics in particular before discussing men
and measures up to date
But who believes that Mr.. Roosevelt is
going to fall under the spell of fiatterers
and undertake to play the game of the
anti-Taft republicans? What warrant is
there either in his past, or in what has
taken place since he left home for the
assumption that he can be used to make
war on man for whom he has expressed
the highest admiration and whose polit
ical fortunes he has vigorously supported?

The Cheap Excursion Swindle.

II is of course easy to see a fraud after
1t is exposed and now that the BLUE Star
cheap excursion to Paris swindle has
been uncovered 1t is not difficult to point
out ways and means whereby the victims
might have saved their money and hu-
initiation. They could, for example, have
ascertained that the palatial steamships
advertised for the low rate summer trips
existed only in the imagination of the
persuasive promoter of the scheme and
that the company itself had no corporate
being. Shipping agencies and consuls
could have given this information upon
application. But people are not natural
~ suspicious and few take the precaution
to inquire into the solidity of business
which boasts OF elaborate stationery and
shows other supposedly certain signs of
prosperous existence. 1t is the old story
of the good front and the easy mark and
it is no reflection whatever upon those

The Jail APPROXIMATION.

Attorney General Wickersham's recon-
mendation for an appropriation of $685.
600 to remodel the District Jail should be
granted promptly. SO that work can be
begun as quickly as possible to cure the
evil conditions at that institution. 1t will
probably be necessary to enlarge the Jail
greatly in order to provide accommoda-
fions for the prisoners. even without con-
sidering the prospective increase in the
number commensurate with the growth
of the city. There is not room at present
there for the prisoners now in custody a
condition which seriously reflects upon
the foresight of the United States gov
eminent in caring for those whom it
takes in charge for violations of the
law.
Everything that is done in this direction
should be in accordance with some sys-
tematic plan. such as that recommended
by the prison commission whose report
was submitted at the closing session of
the last Congress. Work on the new Jail
should be prosecuted no more and no less
vigorously than that upon the proposed
new workhouse and reformatory for
which land has been acquired down the
river. All of these institutions should be
brought into service at the earliest pos
slDie TIME, With PROBATION and parole
law enacted meanwhile. so that in a short
period the District can be given a model
penal and corrective system, at the same
time safeguarding the community from
the activities of those who are evilly dis
posed and conserving the civic energies
and industrial activities of those who are
chiefly in need OF warnings and who can
be safely restored to their wage earning
pursuits.
]. Whether the remodelng of the Jail
should be undertaken on the basis of us
ing the prisoners is question to be de-
cided by Congress after consideration
The Attorney General recommends that
the work be thus prosecuted. and it is
certain that protest will be entered
promptly. But the determination of this
point should not involve a delay in the
passage of the appropriation. The issue
can be promptly met and decision
reached, SO that the necessary work can
begin promptly upon the opening of the
new fiscal year. This should be regarded
as an urgent case requiring immediate
decision.

Business Methods for Government.

Mr.. Aldrichs proposition to put the
governments business upon basis OF
everyday business-that is, TO stop waste
and extravagance-passed the Senate yes
terday, and there is assurance of House
approval. A committee of five senators
and five representatives will investigate
the subject, and report. The President
sympathizes, and in every way possible
will cooperate.
1t is most meritorious undertaking.
Mr.. Aldrich's figures are large. One
hesitates to believe that we have been
spending-are now spending-three nun
dred millions year more than necessary
TO insure a satisfactory conduct of the
government. But the Rhode Island sena-
tor speaks from an experience of thirty
years with government estimates and ap-
preparations. and his statements on all
such subjects carry much weight.
What is wanted. however, is not a. veri
fication to the dollar of Mr.. Aldrich's
statement in this matter as knowledge of
just what savings may be made without
impairing the public service Ii the
amount is but a. half or a third of three
hundred millions it is highly important
Uncle Sam is rich. and can afford, and
should support, generous establishment
but If there is waste either above or be-
low stairs-in big or in little things-it
should be stopped. Nobody can defend
waste, or slipshod methods.
In a large measure. every Congress, in
the matter of appropriations, is its own
master. Continuing contracts must of
course be provided for. But no Congress
can speak about sums total beyond the
period of its own existence. 1t is charged
with responsibility for two years, and no
longer. 1t is to decide during that time
what in its opinion is necessary for the
governments proper support.
The advantage Of a thorough investi-
CATION will be to inform public opinion as
to details Details on this matter are to
the average voter unknown. He has been
reared on round numbers and generali-
ties. Conscious of the fact that we have
a large country, and being proud of it,
he has accepted the bills presented for
his approval with small If any informa-
ton as to why's or wherefores. But put
an itemized statement into his hands, and
give him time to study it. and he will
vote at the next election instructed by it.
Mr.. Aldrich, it is stated, is too busy to
accept a place on the investigating COM
1nittee. But of course he will give the
committee the benefit of all he knows of
value to 1t, and in that way assist in the
valuable work he has set on foot.
