CUTS TRAVEL ABUSES
No More Jaunts in Vacation at
Expense of Government.
Uncle Sam Clamps Down the Lid
on Government Railroad Travel
Misunderstanding of Many
Millions Being Effected.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Will be no mer-
~ skylarking this summer by Uncle
Sans army Of workers at seashore
and mountain tops at government ex-
pense.
Your Uncle Sam has put a crimp
in free travel abuses. The lid has been
clamped on government railroad travel
vouchers. In other years thousands
have fiocked to the summer resorts on
the easily procured travel slips.
The young swell or pretty doll
on the government payroll in the old
days ran the gamut of business" ex-
cuses and drew free travel checks
besides the usual per diem allowance
for subsistence while absent from
Washington.
Later on the usual thirty days an
nual vacation leave with pay allowed
government workers was utilized to
drive dull care away.
Now, however, under a rigid econ
omy drive, useless travel by govern
ment officials or employees of any
rank is forbidden.
Bureau chiefs are held responsible
strictly for abuses of the free travel
privilege. 1t is effecting a saving to
the treasury of many millions of dol
lars annually.
Treasury experts declare that in
preceding years the government out
lay for this purpose was something
in the nature of scandal. Every
government department has it's corps
of special Investigators and experts,
many of whom want to gallop at will
at government expense.
Until recently officials complained
that the hardest work performed by
some of this class was that of draw
ing their semi-monthly pay.
The efficiency and economy pro-
gram has done much to speed up work,
and to eliminate waste time and
waste motion. Under reorganization
CLANS government workers do not find
idleness such Joy as in the days of
old.
This has come through the program
of reducing the bureaus to normal
strength. 1t has meant lot of trim
| ming in personnel. Still a lot more
will be done before peace time basis
| is reached.
