Washington News
By O. H. TAVKNKKB special Washington
correspondent. ;
Washington , Oct. 21 , Tariff
isn't the only thing- the republi
cans are afraid of in the coming
campaign. There is another item
that is giving them worry. They
are wondering how they are to
give an answer to the charges of
corruption incompetency and
maladministration that have been
brought out and proven by the
various democratic investigating
committees. Republican leaders
realize that this problem is going
to present exceptional difficulties
by the fact tiat } when the Demo
crats * started investigating they ,
the Republicans , shouted in de
rision of such tactics , declaring
there was nothing to investigate ;
that under the Republican rule
the affairs of government had
been conducted in the only per
fect manner , and that the whole
purpose of the Democrats was to
make political thunder.
That there was really need of
some investigating in and around
Washington was amply proven
before the probes of Republican
rule had well begun , and despite
all of the revelations of extrava
gance and maladministration that
have come to light , many of thp
investigating committees are just
getting ready to go to work. So
far they have but scratched the
surface.
The Moss committee brought to
light the shameful manner in
which the plotters in the pure
food bureau had stripped Dr. Wi
ley of all power , and made a farce
of the law designed to protect the
public from the greed of unscru
pulous food dogers.
The Stanley committee learned
that the steel trust for years paid
tremendous profits on a capitali
zation represented largely by wa
ter and blue air , and that the trust
gobbled up the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company , its principal rival ,
with the aid and connivance of a
republican administration , osten
sibly to prevent a panic , but ac
tually to stifle its main competitor.
It was further brought out that
men were acting as counsel for
the steel trust while receiving
money from the government as
special "trust busters. " The
probe of the state department re
vealed that money was expended
for one thing , and charged to an
other , while the committee on ex
penditures in the navy depart
ment discovered that more than
§ 3,000,000 worth of supplies had
I been taken from the Washington
navy yard without an accounting ,
and that the bookkeeping system
in use there is absolutely ridicu
lous. These are but a few of. the
many illustrations that could be
given to show the value of honest
investigations. More than a doz
en other committees have turned
up equally important evidence.
