WASHINGTON = Amt government
wonderful?
This story is about government. a
spur, mule and an estimable lady
doctor, one Frances Rothert.
DR.. Rothert is one of the physicians
of the children's bureau OF the de-
partment of labor, which works for
better health among babies, children
and prospective mothers and for
fewer deaths among mothers and
infants.
Kentucky had asked the bureau to
study maternal mortality rates, and
some of the most important studies
had to be made away up in the
mountains.
DR.. Rothert had to climb up into
and out of such places as Wooten
Hayden, Obed, Red Bird Greek and
Cedar Branch, and the time came
when she could no longer travel on
the mail wagon. Probably the mail
wagon didn't go any further
Anyway, DR.. Rothert had to hire
a mule. But the mule wouldn't go
without artificial stimulation.
DR.. Rothert bought spur, just
one spur, mind you, not a pair
Before buying the spur, DR.. Rothert
must have given the matter serious
consideration. When government
workers go out travelling the auditing
department generally takes them off
to one side for a heart to heart
talk and lists the many things the
government won't pay for on expense
accounts.
But DR.. Rothert concluded that
here was surely an exigency, for if
the mule wouldn't proceed the gov
ernment would be out so mich mule
hire and the state of kentucky out
so many mortality statistics.
Recently in came DR.. Rothert's
Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-01-26

expense account to the bureau. zone
spur-50 cents" This gave the
bureau pause. Never before had any
one charged up one spur. Here was
an item that must be checked with
the statutes at large, the revised
statutes, the controllers decisions and
the organic act of 1924, with especial
reference to the controllers decisions
on travelling expenses.
The question. was. Did DR.. Rothert
use the right way to start the mule.
Wouldn't pen knife, or fires built
now and then underneath the animal
have done the business?
Finally, on the theory that it is
always safe to disalloW such an item,
the bureau disallowed it.
Now all this may be considered
pretty small potatoes but it is only
a part of the governmental red tape
which is imposed on all bureaus
from higher up, ultimate authority
on expenses resting with Comptroller
General j. R. McCarl. If the so
cent spur had been allowed to remain
on DR.. Rothert's account, the whole
thing might have been held up and
all other expense money she had
taken from her own pocket, which
she might need badly, might have
been held up for months.
If DR.. Rothert enters the spur
again as separate item, and gets
her so cents, she will have to send
the spur into the bureau, where it
will become government property
with all of lis owning part interest
1t must be accounted for from year
to year and anyone else VINO rides
into the mountains on mule back
may write for it, but may not buy
a spur at government expense, The
spur will remain government property
forever unless the bureau can get it
condemned or will swear to its loss.
