Washington, February 15.-tspeeial.)-
Washington business people are preparing
for their quadrennial "hog killing" This
joyful occasion comes on hnd around
March of the years when a President
is inaugurated, and from it dates most
of the happiness and prosperity of those
whose chief industry is the milking OF
the stranger within the gates of the ma
tonal capital.
The extraction of money from visitors
has been brought to the highest state of
the art in washington, and it is practiced
every day in the year. But the ordinary
processes are abandoned during inaugura-
ton time. This period is recognized as
the truly golden opportunity, when
enough extra money can be made to iusti-
fly any sort of undertaking. Then the
town is full of people who have money
in their pockets and most of whom will
never come to Washington again. Realiz-
ing this, the central idea of those who

Inaugural Committees Work

1 Even the lnduSuTdi d DOuE
composed of prominent citizens of the
town, has a scheme for the bleeding
ofNthe people from outside" One would
suppose such a committee to act dis
Iinterestedly for the comfort and wei
fare of the strangers attending the in
auguration, and that for the good name
| of Washington this committee, at least |,
would seek to protect visitors. But
such a hospitable idea does not enter
| Into the project from any angle. Here
=, tofore an inaugural fund was raised by
Subscription, all of the Washington bus
mess folks coming forward handsomely
| to sign their names for varying amounts
and to take the advertising consequent
thereto Then the inaugural bali and
concerts were held and enough money
collected through them to pay back all
! that had been subscribed and sometimes
TO have quite little pot left over as
a dividend.
| But since Mr.. Wilson has knocked the
| inaugural ball into cooked hat this
prolific source of revenue has been lost
to the inaugural committee and so this
| year the committee has turned in an
other direction. Its aim now appears
to be to make up as much as possible
of the expenses by the sale of seats in
the grandstands erected along the liue
of the parade. That it's energies are
directed toward the innocent visitor is
shown by the fact that all out of town
applicants for seats are informed that
"all seats will be S. apiece" whereas
local people are receiving letters stat
ing that they can have seats at 50, 81
and s.. according to location. The cut
rates are also made to members of Con-
gress.
Pawn Shops to Close
The saddest feature of this entire
f-rlr- = H.
Gently passed by Congress all OF the
pawnshops in Washington will go ont
of business March 6. 1t seems to have
been timed with deliberation to pro-
duce the greatest amount of suffering
This will throw upon the members of
the House and Senate practically the
entire responsibility of caring for those
Who go broke The older members of
Congress remember that even with the
pawn shops in running order many peo-
pie have come TO them for relief at
previous inaugurations.a,a and. good peo-
pie who were strapped by the unex-
pected size Of the extortlons practiced
upon them and who simply had to be
helped out So apprehensive are the
members that bill has been introduced
in the House by Mr.. Cary of Wiscon-
sin to annul the license of any place
of entertainment which increases its
prices during an inaugural or any other
public event in Washington drawing
here an unusual number of people. The
bill is thoroughly appreciated by all
the older members of Congress whose
constituents have been robbed here. but
it is a question whether there will be
time to pass II at this session.
In the meantime the only step taken
by the local inaugural committees Is
to cause the publication in the Wash
lngfon papers of a warning for the peo-
Pile to beware Of ticket scalpers. The

Other Lines of Graft

But it must not be assumed that the
hotels are the only J. Rufus Walllng-
fords who make a cleanup out of the
advent of a new President. The lines of
graft are almost without number. One
of the best of them is the renting of win
dows along the line of the inaugural pa
rade to the willing sucker. This business
consists in letting, sub-letting and some-
times sub-sub-letting, depending upon the
activity of the market and the state
of the weather. In the oldest and most
broken-down buildings near the capitol
windows three feet wide are offered for
S25. Spectators have taken some of these
and if Wilson should be greeted by such
blizzard as welcomed Taft to the White
House the price will jump far sl<yward.
In the better buildings the prices quoted
today arc much more than $25 a window.
a saloon with a balcony ornamenting
it's second story offers the balcony and
the room behind it for $1,000. One pair
of windows each about four feet wide
are on the market for $500. Some of
the prices paid in the past by visitors
have been SO high as to be almost un-
believable. But it is not at all unusual
to hear of $500 and $4,000 paid for a
good point from which to see the goyer-
nors and their staffs cavort about the
streets on their hired charges. One
thing Is certain about this end of the
game, and that is that the Washing
ton people will get the last possible
cent for every perch along the line of
march. They have had experience and
know to the exact fraction how to
do if
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-02-16

are after the money is TO get it all. and
he who let's a visitor escape the town with
any on his person is regarded as an ex
ecrable traitor aud misereant.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-02-16
Hotels in an Agreement

All of the hotels appear to be in an
agreement to make guests pay for a
stated period Some of the hotels insist
upon seven days and some of the So
called cheaper places demand pay for not
less than five days. The five-day period
is the shortest any of them will stand
for. One hotel of 400 rooms starts its
gouge at $56 and rises seven grades to
$3.50. The average price demanded by this
hotel is S13S. or a total gross income from
rooms for the seven days of So5,2O0. The
restaurant prices i'm this hotel are guaran-
teed to make the hardest stranger faint
the first time they are thrust before him.
The management of the hotel frankly ad-
mits II has boosted prices all along the
line for Inauguration exactly 100 per cent
One hotel demands $l2 and s14 day for
rooms accommodating two persons, and
SAYS it has none for less than $l2. This
hotel also admits doubling prices for in
auguration and 1t likewise stipulates that
guests must pay for seven full days, no
matter how brief the stay Among the
American plan hotels the inauguration
rates run from 81 day to $40, and some
of them will be satisfied il the guest
pays for five days. But I'll of them say
they expect to place two or more persons
in each room, the Initiation being that
they will pile them in as long as there
is space to place a cot. One hotel on
Pennsylvania avenue. which ordinarily
makes speciality of caring for persons
of moderate means and has rooms from
81 up, is asking for Inauguration from S25
to 500 for five-day period.

vanished truth Actually. a few days
ago some creditors asked the court to
appoint receiver for a new hotel here,
on d showing that the building had been
erected and furnished on little more than
a shoestring, and the court listened sob
erly and calmly while assurance was
given that If the hotel could be kept rum
ning without interruption until after in
auguration. large profits would then be
realized and the difficulties of the prop
erty eased up. The court named receiV-
ers and ordered the hotel TO be kept rum
ming, although It was shown that it stag
gered under an Indebtedness, by mort
gage and otherwise of SSs2, 600.
