bathers are concerned, but to let the
people of Washington use them free of

This, he believes, will be carried out, if
Congress will appropriate small sum of

their especial privilege to ride the

up what they call information"
and dope it out to the papers with
the expectation of the papers us
ing their space and paying their
employees to print the stuff Of which
nine-tenths is not fit for the
waste basket. The illiteracy com
mission, the tuberculosis commits
sions, the farm departments and
innumerable other departments,
pay out large salaries for clerk
hire. But here the paying out
stops. Then they expect to run
it over the newspapers. IL il is
true that the public will be bene-
flied by the publication of the mat
tiers thus prepared, the pay enve-
lope need not stop just as it
reaches the print shop. But
there is where it is stopping under
the present order Of things. They

up his stuff, use his space for the

for so doing"
