Recent rulings of the controller

forcibiy to the administrative Off
GERS of many of the Government
departments the necessity for a
r,ore liberal int expectation of the
limits paced on travelling allow
ances. So rigidly bound are the
raj les governing travelling allow
arRceS that even cabinet officers, on
offh.ial tours of dusty, inspection
tours and other Government busiY
ness have had to pay large sums
of rrHoney out of their own pockets
to aua.ment the travelling allowance
of s. a day granted by the Gov"
ernmext.

assistant secretary of ONE of the

upward of $50 out of hts own pocket

The Secretary of War is granted

Government employees have found
that even by patronizing hotels eof

their bills for meals down to the
minimum il has been very diff

The executive council of the. Ma

hind a move to liberafize the
travel allowance provision and
bring it up to modern standards of
living, declaring the present S5-a-

war standards and altogether too

ment in New York, seven million

Normally Rus-ia is IA large grain
exporter, her annual crop being about
six hundred million bushels, more
han 80 per cent of which is exported.

failure of this crop. however, the
Russian government has been forced
TO meet the resulting situation by
the establishment of an office in New
York for the purpose of buying and
shipping grain to the mother country.
Record for Baltimore:
This shipment of rye viii be the
largest ever TO be exported through
Baltimore in a. like period, and will
require about 2S fun cargo ships to

Waterman and Wall Street.
To make it doubly clear that the
municipal administration will con-
tinue to faithfully serve the proper
tied classes, both capitalist parties
have nominated frank and open serv-
ants of big business. Mr.. Waterman
Is no mere hired servant of Wall
Street. He is one of the Wall Street
crowd. He is a millionaire in his
own right, having enriched himself by
the exploitation of labor He may be
counted upon to faithfully serve him
self and his friends, by making the
city government more obedient than
ever to Wall Street
Walker, the Traction Tool.
Walker is hired tool Of big bust
ness. He has already demonstrated
that his loyalty to capitalism may
always be depended upon in return
for moderate fees, by his acceptance
of payments from the meat trust at
the same time that he was a mem
Der Of the senate committee on agri-
culture which prepared measures
dealing with the sale of food stuffs.
1t was as the servant of big business
and the traction interests that he
made his campaign to replace Hylan.
This does not mean that Hylan was
less faithful servant OF the bosses,
but he represented not only the in
terests of property in general, but
more specifically interests of smaller
business and OF the suburban real es-
tate ring that was fighting the trac-
ton trust because Ave cent fare is
necessary for speculation in suburban
real estate. For the rest. Hylan has
