 The City of Graft

A New York Contractor, in Harper's Weekly.
 That graft pervades public employment in New York city to a large extent, I know to be a fact. It is no guessworlS with me. Probably I should still holt that view if it were not that have since engaged in many contracts for the United States government. I have discovered that graft does not exist in connection with these federal contracts. The econo-
 mist or the psychologist may devise an explanation for the difference in this ro- spect between the city and the nation.
 merely state the facts, as shown in the
 course of my work, representing hundreds of thousands of dollars
 When I first started in business, on small scale years ago, I learned that no city job under any department could be
 finished profitably without the payment
 of secret money to somebody. Not every one was dishonest, by any means; but sooner or later hand was extended Tor improper prequisites. Several times re- fused to pay The invariable outcome was
 delay, involving loss of my time and con- seouently loss of money. In one or two instances persisted in fighting to tho end. That meant profits wiped out. It was not long before I realized that suc- cess in my business was impossible un- less I was willing to pay. I found that every contractor who made a living was 1 charging the city much more than the
 jobs were worth. in order to have sur plus graft fund; in short. that the munic- | ipal treasury was being indirectly loot cd to satisfy the continuous greediness of
 public employees That showed me the
 cause of the city's big debt
 | I recall a certain inspector whose pet | expression has become byword among | city contractors. 'Nothing like having | 1t in the hand" Is what this fellow says when you give him a ten-dolar note
 rarely does he get larger sum at one l time. All the contractors know him. He
 is a bluff hammered, good natured person. | of foreign birth. He makes no bones of telling you what he wants, and he wastes
 no time at 1t. When he is inspecting a
 job, the contractor or his representative
 starts out by asking what is to be the tax.
 The inspector replies, perhaps, that he ex- poets S75. The contractor, if he is wise,
 cuts 1t to $50 or s25 then pays sIo In cash,
 and withholds the rest until the work is
 done. No contractor unless he is an
 easy mark gives up the amount first
 asked. Any one who did that would be
 stripped bare and sent speedily to the
 bankruptcy court
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-06-25

The bltterest invective against hu- manity that ever was uttered came from Jonathan Swift when he wrote his story of "Gulliver's Voyage to the Land of the Houyhnhnms.' That con tempt. scorn and loathing for his fel- low man which finally brought the great brain of the Dean to wreck was poured out by him in this account of the last of Gullivers travels as if he were pouring phials of vitriol into open sores. Diogenes in his tub and Timon in his retirement were mild critics of their kind compared with the Dean of ST. Patrick's when he chose to spit forth the venom of his morbid hostility to his species. In the other stories of Gulliver the Dean satirized and casti- gated political parties and certain statesmen. In the Voyage to the Land of Houyhnhnms" he swept his scourge over all mankind. And no one can read this production without feeling the sting of the whip -eords-eyen to this day.

killed. sixty were seriously injured ana
