through his Influence an appropriation
Of $1,000 was made for the purpose OF
procuring and distributing seeds of
rev plants, carrying agricultural In
yestigations and collecting agricultural
statistics This was the historic be-
ginning of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. free
seed distribution.
By an act Of congress In May, 1862,
since generally called the organic act,
the activities Of the government affect
ing agriculture were placed under a
separate and distinct organization
known as the Department of Agricul-
ture, in charge of a commissioner of
ever, with the other executive depart
ments, and tfe commissioner was not
entitled TO seat In the Presidents
cabinet. Isaac Newton. chief of the
agricultural section In the pasent office,
was appointed the first commissioner
Of agriculture. Other officers provided
by the organic act included statis-
tician, chemist, an entomoiogist and
superintendent of the propagating
garden and experimental farm.
The chrysalis was now ready to be
broken. In 1889 the Department of Ag-
rieulture was elevated to the rank Of
the other executive departments and
its commissioner was made secretary
of agriculture with seat In the Presi-
dents cabinet This was in Grover
Cleveland's administration. In honor
of its new rank few more functions
were taken on.
But that's enough detail. II kept on
growing. Beginning with an appro-
priation of $1,000 and two or three
clerks, the department had, In 1910,
employees to the number of IL, 4S0, and
an appropriation of S12,995. 036. Five
sears later the appropriation had
grown to S19.865,S32 and the en-
nloyees to 1928. The employees In
May. 1920, numbered 1908 and the
appropriation given by congress for
the fiscal year 1921 was $31. ATE, 1868.
The department has increased its
cost of living in 50 years from mere
81 ,0O0-that is, $83.33 a month-to
more than $31,000,O00 years., e22,-
947.3S every month. That shows as
clearly and as sharply as it can be
shown how the high cost of govern
ment living affects your own cost of
living
We. you and /, paid out of our saw
ings and earnings every red cent OF
that increase from LOCO year to more
than S31.o00,0o0. 1t may have been
well spent. We probably got a run
for our money; but nobody knows, ex-
cept in a general way. We have
right to know. 1t is simply fatheaded-
ness on our part not to find out.

, biological stations had an aggregate
area of over $4,000 acres, with value
of $4,000. The improvements and
equipment at these stations repre-
sented an investment of more than
$1,000.000. Other property of the bu-
reau at that time included four sea-
going steam and sail vessels, 20 steam
launches and $50 small sail, power and
roWboats, which with equipment had
value of 100000, Its six fish-trans-
portatton cars were valued at $4,000.
Indeed, the total investment of the
government in tishery-service property
ran to about $1,5S5,o00. That was
back in 1909.
Well, 1t hasn't stopped growing;
bigger and buster than ever, as the adj
vertisements say The appropriation by
congress for the fiscal year 1919 was
s1.1S3, 40, and for 1921, $1,207, 40.
Besides what congress gave, the Pres
ident allotted in 1918 and 1919, out of
his private fund "for the national Sc
curity and Defense" 100000. With the
years of its growth and increasing
funds the bureau had taken on many
new functions and activities
Until recently the bureau was adj
ministering to the best of its ability
the laws relating to the terrestrial and
arboreal fur bearers of Alaska, but
the duty was incongruous to Its legiti-
mate functions. Congress finally con-
ceded that the pursuit of foxes does
not constitute a fishery. The cultiva-
tion of minks cannot be successfully
conducted In fish hatchery.
Apparently as so many other estab-
lishments- under the executive branch
have. the fisheries service had become
all cluttered up with duties and jobs
1t is not fitted or equipped to handle.
All of which is a long. long way
from an investigation of the possible
diminution of food fish along the
coast.

JUST KEPT GROWING

The origins of these Anticipated, cum
bersome, costly, inefficient pieces of the
national machinery that we call the
executive departments show how any
establishment If well watered with
government money will expand and
hold together, no matter how conflict
Ing and incongruous its functions.
Hardly one of these great business es-
tabiishments--for that is what they
are-was planned. AS they are today
they just happened
Take the Department of Agriculture,
for example, one of the greatest and
most complex and widespreading Of all
the departments. It is In closer touch
and more directly affects the greatest
number Of people in the United States
than any other branch of the govern
inent with the possible exception of
the post office It began In 1880 with
an appropriation of $1,000, taken from
the patent funds for the distribu-
ton of free seeds and the collection
OF agricultural statistics by the patent
office, then bureau In the State de-
partment. Now look at the darned
thing. 1t is all over the place.
The title OF the department indicates
Its most important field of activities. but
its functions have been extended to in
ciude the whole range of rural indus
try and some branches of admInistra-
tion only very Indirectly related to
agricultural interests. For about 90
years subsequent to the Revolution the
general interests of agriculture were
left almost entirely to individual initia-
tive. Federal activity was confined to
relatively narrow limits and was mere
ly sporadic. Soon after the national
government was organized some at
tempts were made to establish board
of agriculture; but neither the first
proposal In 1896 nor second effort In
1877 was successful.
Shortly after the Revolution, follow
ing the example of Benjamin Frank
lin while in England, as agent of the
colony of Pennsylvania during the
years 1854 to IT'S, American consuls
and naval officers began the practice
of sending home foreign seeds and cut
tIngs for new crops, and of aiding In
the introduction into the United States
of new breeds of domestic animals.
Even such small governmental partici-
patton was, in the beginning, rather
extra-official.
In 1886 the commissioner of pat
ents, one FL. L. Ellsworth, began the
distribution of considerable quantities
of seeds and plants received from gov
eminent representatives in foreign
countries; and three years later

The Department of Agriculture is
one instance of how governmental es-
adjustments grow and spread and ex-
tend their activities, once they get
started. The bureau of fisheries in
the Department of Commerce, is an
other. 1t had a modest beginning, and
not so very long ago. Prior TO 1871
there was no branch of the federal
government especially charged with
the consideration of fishery affairs.
Several Of the states had established
fish commissions and these state au-
thorities, supported by private inter-
ests, began to agitate for national
bureau devoted to fishery interests.
So 1t came about that by 1871 con-
gress was ready to yield and begin to
make appropriations. Tie first one
was for $1,000 and provided for
commissioner of fish and fisheries to
prosecute investigations and inquiries
with the view of ascertaining wheth-
er any and what diminution in the
number of food fishes of the coast
and in the lakes of the United States
has taken place; and also whether
any and what protective, prohibitory
or precautionary measures should be
adopted In the premises; and shall re
port upon the same to congress"
The commissioner was to draw no
pay, for 1t was provided by congress
In the same joint resolution that he
should be a civil Officer of the govern
oF
tlcal acquaintance with the fishes of
tile coast, who should serve without
additional compensation. The then as
sistant secretary of the Smithsonian In
stjtution, by name Spencer Fullerton
Baird, was chosen as the best man for
the job, and so he proved to be. He
made the little acorn grow. He was
Industrious and competent and knew
how 70 get along with congress. He
was diligent and he stood before kings.
See what happened.
Remember, he started out with
$1,000 to discover whether there had
hcru any diminution of the supply of
food fishes along the coasts or In the
lakes. He was at the head of an in
dependent Investigation and reported
directly to congress. The thing was
kept alive by annual appropriations
as an independent Institution until
1908, when it was Incorporated into
the newly formed Department of Com
merce and Labor as the bureau of
fisheries.
BY 1909 the annual appropriation had
grown TO SS03,920, and the bureau had
permanent personnel of 325. Al
that time the land owned and occupied
