LAWMAKERS ARE
Fault for Waste of U. S. Funds
Said to Lie in Red Tape
and Lack of System.
Washington. May 21. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.)
Jn previous articles in this Beries deal
ing with national waste in government,
which was estimated by the late Senator
Aldrich several years ago at $300,000,000.
and is now regarded by many-as having
doubled or trebled, attention has been
given mainly - to leaks and extrava
gances in the doings and non-doings of
the legislative branch.
The fault for not finding a remedy lies
heavily upon the lawmakers, for Pres
ident Taft and President Wilson have
each asked for relief, but it should not
be assumed that corrections could not
- be made . in the executive, or depart
mental branch.
Here the faults of the human element
are encountered with the greatest force
In the common abuses of bureaus overladen-
with clerks, the law evaded by
carrying employes upon the rolls at
employments not shown to be author
ised, tendencies to constantly expand
and not- to save, continuation of waste
ful practices, employment of clerks upon
red tape formalities and statistical pro
duction which interest no one. retention
of persons who are not efficient, and
profligate use of public money In penny
wise tasks. !
These faults are more easy to observe
than they are to prove. They are gen
erally admitted, and Just as readily de
nted when any particular spot Is bit. In
the aggregate the loss in unrequited pay
runs into millions.

As a result of the recent cam

condemned by the municipality. The
city council this morning referred
five cases of condemned property
in Marquam gulch to Commissioner
Bigelow and the city attorney with
instructions to appeal the decision
of the condemnation jury.
"I was under the impression that con
demnation was the fair way for the city
to secure property for . playground pur

posing the issuance of warrants to cover
the cost of the condemned tracts as fixed
by the Jury. "Recent articles in The
Journal called my attention to prices
paid in the Marquam gulch transactions
that appear to be high in several cases.

'"The council should proceed carefully
in these matters and where the price set
by the jury is deemed excessive we

Senator Lewis Declares No Man
Has Ever Faced Such Mis
representation. Chicago, May 21. I. N. S.)
That Woodrow JWllson can be
driven to seek'the presidency a
third time-"by the organized con
spiracyto prevent the truth -of his
work for the people from becoming
known to them, was the statement
made by former United States Sen
ator James Hamilton Lewis at a
"welcome home" reception given in
his honor at the Iroquois club this
afternoon.
No other man at the head of the
government, asserted Mr. Lewis,
has "ever faced such an organized
effort to deliberately misrepresent
his official acts."
The president, he further declared,
will not alJow the conspiracy to suc
ceed but will go direct to the American
people with a full revelation of the
truth.
"Certain sections of one political
party and offended individuals of an
other party." Said Senator Lewis, "have
joined common cause, to dishonor their
own land and descredit their own
countrymen by denying to their rep
resentatives abroad any credit for suc
cess, ani honor for achievements and
all glory for the honor he has earned
merely because he is .Woodrow Wilson
or that he is a Democrat.
"President Wilson will not allow this
conspiracy to succeed. If there will
arise a reason for President Wilson
asking a third term that will be found
In the demand the country will 'make
on Wilson to remain in power to execute
by his voice and hand the new work
his mind has devised for man and -his
heart conceived for the welfare - of
America."
Senator Lewis declared the west and
the Pacific coast have been - educated
to oppose the League of Nations and
that the people have been frightened by
assertions of ' power . In the league : to
destroy American rights. . " He asserted
that every charge that the covenant
endangers American rights or policies
has been disproved by the i document
itself. ,

COMPLAINT MADE
TO CITY COUNCIL
Washington Street Merchants
Assert Traffic Rules Aid,
Morrison Street.
Because Washington and Alder street
merchants believe they are at a disad
vantage over Morrison street under the
terms of the present city traffic rules,
a delegation of business men from the
former streets waited upon the city
council at Its session this morning with
a protest.
Autos may be parked on Morrison
street for a 30 minute period. It was
pointed out, and the fact that only a
momentary stop is allowed on Washing
ton street is naturally driving much
business to Morrison street that would
otherwise go either to Washington or
Alder, the council was told.
The council took the matter , 'under
consideration and .between the plan of
reducing the law to permit parking on
the objecting streets or eliminate park
ing on Morrison street, is said to be
inclined toward the latter proposal. If
adopted, - such a plan would do away
with parking on either of the three main
streets between the river and Tenth
street. - - . - n '
Mayor Baker declared at the bearing
that one-way traffic on the three streets
would prove the . only source - of relief
from traffic, conditions downtown and
that a plan providing this would un
doubtedly have to be worked out soon.
