GOVERNMENTAL EXTRAVACANCE;; MANY
THOUSAND DOLLARS RENTAL EXCESS

, times as much rent for buildings
as was paid when the buildings were
occupied by private business con-
Germs.
Senator Galllnger of New Hamp-
shire says that there is a building
recently rented by the District OF
Columbia for $4,000 a year, for which
the government department now Oc-
cupying it pays fully double that
amount. Senator Gallinger says tina,
II there was an investigation OF
the rentals paid in this city by the
government, the results would as
tonish everybody.
Senator Williams declares he
knows of one instance where the
government has rented building
for four times the annual rental
which was paid by its former occu-
pant, private individual, and this
in section where there has not
been any unusual increase in the
value of property or advance in the
average results. Senator Williams
suggests an investigation to find
not only what department or bureau
is responsible for hiring this place
at a quadrupled rental but what
flesh and blood man is directly re-
sponsible and tShy he agreed to
pay so much more than was pre-
viously paid.
The annual amount paid for rem
tails in this city by the government
is almost $600,000 and if, as sew
eral senators claim. the government
pays double and more than double
the rental it should pay the waste
in this item alone is 100000 and
probably more each year.
Instances of many other unbusi-
ness like methods which are being
discussed are about to be investiga-
ted or are now under investigation
could be quoted by the column. and
the reports on most of the inquiries
under way are expected to be sur
prsing, and to result perhaps in
radical reforms and the introduce
ton, into government business OF
methods and systems which make
private business successful.

the effort to compel business like
economy in the government depart
ments. and save hundreds OF thou
sands. if not millions of dollars a
year for the people, number o,
senator's and representatives, as in
dividuals and as members OF yariou
committees, are investigating ex-
penditures and attacking those in
which it is evident that there is a
large waste of money.
Thep are showing by their argu-
ments, and also by comparisons, the
wide difference between the method
by which the government conducts
business, and the manner in which
the same business would be trans.
acted by any successful private bus
mess. incidentally they are furnish =
ing an exceedingly strong argument
against government ownership OF
various utilities which is urged from
time to time by various interests,
and indicating that If the government
has never been able to conduct its
various departments upon an eco
nomical basis that government own
ership would likely result in fur
ther reckless and wasteful expend
iture of the public money in addi-
ton to inefficient service.
Senator John Sharp Williams de-
clares that it costs the government
practically six dollars for every bath
senator takes in the luxurious
senate office baths. This is small
item, but it is one OF the evidences
of the unnecessary and altogether
wasteful means of spending the pub
lie money. Despite the fact that
Senator Williams insisted that the
baths be removed and the space they
occupy used for the storage of pub
lie documents. for which there is a
lack of room, the senate has recent
ly appropriated $4,000 year addi-
tional for renting place to store
public documents.
Senators cite instances of the gov
ernment paying twice and even four

Frank Players Good.

Last night the John e. Frank play
ers presented for the first time ar
Lake park their side-spiitting com
edy entitled, Don't Tell My Wife.
The attendance at the dome was the
largest this season, and the entire
performance from the rising of the
curtain until the end of the third act
was one round of applause.
The cllmaXes came so fast one up
on another that before the mirth of
the audience had subsidized after one
episode, another had happened that
was even more ludicrous, bringing
forth another storm of applause.
Between the acts catchy specialt'es
that were both new and novel were
presented and each came in for its
share of applause.
This company will appear at the
airdome every night this week and
will be at Lake park again next Sum
day night.
Tonight they present Love Pr
ates" ard there will be an entire
change of program every night and
new specialties.
Those patrons from the east end
who cannot visit the airdome during
the week, were highly elated when
a return engagement was announced
for next Sunday.-McAlester News.

Where a cake OF soap is used by
