AIMED AT CONGRESSIONAL
GRAFT*
Representative Cox of Indiana
has introduced a bill in Cougress,
says the Tacorna Tribune, reduc
ing the mileage allowance of mem
bers from 20 cents a mile to 5
cents a mile and has presented fig
ures to show tHat the adoption of
his bill would mean a saving of
$200,000 a year to the taxpayers.
We have no idea that Mr. Cox's bill
will be adopted. Congressmen are
always loth to cut do.»vn their per
quisites, but publicity of the meas
ure and its purpose will hasten
the day when this petty graft will
be abolished.
The allowance of 20 tents a mile
for travel expenses was made in
th© early days, when Congress
men traveled by stage coach or on
horseback to the national capital
Under present day conditions an al
lowance of 5 cents a mile would
cover the cost of railroad transpor
tation, sleeping car accommodations
and meais. Everything above that
is a perquisite, which is a polite
name for graft. A Congressman
living In Tacoma, for instance, is
jllowed $600 for trawling expens
es to Washington, a distance of
about 3,000 miles. The ordinary
traveler can make the trip, enjoying
all the luxuries and accommodations
offered by railroad companies, for
less than $150. Tlie Congress
man pockets $450 "easy money"
above expenses. Mr. Cox's bill is
a move for honesty. We predict
that it will not even be reported
from the comfnittee In order that
members of Congress may be plac
ed on record as opposing or favor
ing a warranted interference with
their graft.
MISSOURI DIVISION.
The special work o' the Missouri
division for 1914 will be to pre
sent the Blind Babies' bill for the
care, maintenance and education
of blind children under school age
in Missouri. Mrs. F. \Y. Baum
hoff, honorary state president, who
has been working for the passage
oi this measure for years, is ask
ing the co-operation of every hu
mane person In the stute. As state
chairman of the Blind Babies Com
mittee, Mrs. Baumhoff will visit
the principal cities of tiie state with
a sterecpticon lecture on the care
of blind babies, their education and
maintenance. The lit 10 census
shows Missouri leads in the number
of blind in the state. Effort is be
ing made to secure the name of ev
ery known blind or partially blind
.child in the state, irrespective of
station in life.
