higher than what they should have
been.
He said there were five bidders fpr
the contract, four Of which were
virtually the same. The four averaged
about $1.60 a pound. His bid was
$1.20.
In explanation. he said. he was In

against his product. Dickson added
that he had never paid any gratuities
and had never been asked to do SO.

In preparing for the committee the

Continued from First paee.)

S.y
the problems they are to tackle later.
The incumbent administration would
have no objection to opening all
files and furnishing all data. In
fact. in good many cases the inter-
ests of the United States government
abroad would be better protected II
two American administrations. In
several cases foreigners have at
tempted to take advantage of the
transition period to further their own
interests.
The whole thing is purely a matter
Of courtesy and Is not covered by any
particular precedent. In some cases
cabinet officers have stayed on efter
their successors were appointed, but
while assistance has been helpful, the
responsibility of the new official dates
from the moment he takes the oath
of Office and hs has no time for re-
search or Investigation. A month or
two before the Inauguration affords
q better opportunity to get hold Of
routine questions because 1t 10 q sort

Avalaschs PreciDitatea
When once q new administration is
installed the avalanche begins. Omce-
seekers and political friends consume
time that should otherwise be de.
voted to learning the ropes. Many a.
cabinet official has been in a>daze for
weeks after he took Office simply be-
cause he has no time to get his bear
ings. but must take immediate re-
sponsibility for everything in his own
department.
1t also is suggested that President
elect Harding would be materially as
sfstei IL his ten cabinet officers were
already familiar with the details Of
pending questions when the first cab-
met meeting is called. There 10 no
political disadvantage In the scheme,
as the democratic administration is
responsible for everything that is
done in the name of the United States
government until noon Of March 1.
but there is a decided Advantage to
the public at large. because the trans
Ter OF government nowadays will not be
as simple as 1t was before the war
Unless some such. plan is adopted
the government departments practi-
cally will stand still for many weeks
while the new cabinet officers try to ac-
custom themselves TO their new SUR
foundings and master the compfexi.
