Saving Dominican, Sqaundering
American, Dollars.

American administration in the
Island Of Santo Domingo has resulted
in no ineonsiderable saving of Do
minican money. The payroll has been
purged of unnecessary and incompe-
tent officials, positions have been
abolished Wholesale and reductions
have been made in salaries. The re-
suit is saving of about ten per cent
of the entire Dominican budget, with
no loss of efficiency. All this has
been accomplished by the officers Of
the United States navy who are ad-
ministering Dominican affairs-and it
suggests the great pity of situation
at home where extravagant Southern
politicians are multiplying jobs for
:" deserving Democrats and squan-
dering the public money as if there
were no end to it.
