CORDOVA, ALASKA, SUNDAY* JANUARY 30, 1916.
ANOTHER LITTLE GRAFT GOES.
“No more social stationery at government expense,” is
tlit- edict that lias been issued to members of the Congress b\
Representative Barnhart, chairman of the committee on print
ing, and thus another delighful congressional “perk has been
cut off.
Barnhart, who never lias posed as a noisy uplifter, but
-who knows an ugly little graft when he sees it. lias instmeted
Jerry South, clerk of the House, that his (Barnhart’s) < *. K.
will not he given to society purposes. In order to give the
perquisite a double knockout dose Barnhart has slipped
through the House a resolution which empowers the chairman
of each committee to have such printing and binding done “as
is actually necessary in the official transaction of the commit
tee’s business.
Nowadays, when a committee chairman makes a requisi
tion for handsomely embossed society paper South lias only to
pull on him the resolution which provides that nereatter com
mittees are entitled to stationery only for the transaction of
official business.
The custom of leaning on l nde Sam for stationery of a
higher artistic character to he used in social correspondence
lias been carried to a ridiculous extent. At the beginning o!
the present congress the chairman of one of the big committees
with 21 members sent m a requisition ior a oeaumui emuus&eo
vellum stationery, 1,000 envelopes and 1,000 sheets of paper to
match for each member of the committee, and 2,000 for him
self. This one job would have cost the government about $500.
The law alb \vs each member $125 in money each year,
which is t uppost d to cover his stationery bills. Ho is allowed,
in addition, to procure stationery through the committee to
which he belongs, free of charge. A habit has grown up of the
committee chairmen ordering all sorts of stationery supplies,
paper, ink, pens, etc., for the committee members, and thus the
$125 a year, in some instances at least, becomes “pure velvet.”
“It all goes to show,” said Barnhart, “that the late Sen
ator Aldrich was right when In* declared that the government
could' be run at a saving of $2.00,000,000 a year if conducted on
business principles.”
--:o:
Egotism wouldn’t be half bad it it could be found without
vanity.
-:o:-——
Most liars lie merely to tickle their own ears; and wise men
close theirs.
-— :o:
In time of war get ready for peace is a timely caution to
American business.
-:o:-—
Many a man who condemns his neighbor has not become
acquainted with himself.
--—:o:
.Japan is vigorously planning big increases to her navy.
The cry for preparedness lias been heard across the Pacific.
---- :o:
Great Britain will give the whole game away unless she
proceeds more quietly in her efforts to destroy commercial
Germany.
- —;u .—---—
The author of “Grandfather’s Clock’’ is dead, but his
tune will g<» marching on as long as the parlor organ remains
in our midst.
--— :o:
The Dardanelles exploit cost the entente powers $1,250,
000,000, not including losses in warships, says the Germans, it
is a bill for a bitter pill.
-—-:o:
Secretary Lane evidently expects not to be a candidate for
elective office. His report severely arraigns the “little red
school house’’ as an archaic has-been.
It remains to be seen whether General ( arranza will be so
zealous as he once was tor Mexican sovereignty it the United
States proposes to help him clean up the Villa outlaws.
»-——-:o:
Austro-Hungarian soldiers are going to school in the
trenches. They probably didn’t imagine when they were dig
ging them that they would be delving for knowledge in the
same place.
-:o:
When a man with such a peace loving nature as Major
General Scott says we must have 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 men
under arms or be ready to accept direful consequences Uncle
Sam is likely to be impressed.
---:o:
The London Spectator very sharply warns the people ot
the United States to choke their gab regarding a possible em
bargo on munitions of war now being shipped to the allies, as
if there were any probability that a great and virtuous nation
seriously would consider a deprivation of profits so enormous.
No, no, Spectator, we well know the penalties of a strict neu
trality.
