WASHINGTON CHAT [CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE] Washington, D. C., Dec. 10. Much speculation is rife in all quarters as to what congress may do and may not do during the three months session just begun and which will be adjourned March 4, 1907. As there are many government supply bills to be passed it is unlikely that there will be much of a chance for general legislation. Possibly the river and harbor bill carrying about sixty million dollars, stands the best show. Next comes the Philippine tariff bill, and passage of general appropriation bills, both houses will be content to do little else than talk, thus sustaining the record established in the first half of the session in which it is estimated that "hot air" was let loose to the extent of fifty million words. Plenty of material is still awaiting discussion and it is probable that considerable talk will result from the recent dismissal by the president of a batallion of negro troops. The Smoot case is to be argued in the senate and a vote had if possible. The Santo Domingo treaty, which has been before the senate for two years, will receive attention, also the Isles of Pine treaty. The bill limiting the hours of continuous labor for railroad employees will come up early in the session. The question of bigger battleships will be one of the important subjects discussed and of course the Panama canal will al- The Santo Domingo treaty, which has been before the senate for two years, will receive attention, also the Isles of Pine treaty. The bill limiting the hours of continuous labor for railroad employees will come up early in the session. The question of bigger battleships will be one of the important subjects discussed and of course the Panama canal will always be a lively topic. It is hardly probable that much headway will be made in measures for reforming the currency and it is the consensus of opinion that neither the eight-hour law or the anti-injunction measure, both advocated by labor organizations, will become laws until late in the session, if at all. One thing is certain, congress is now open for business and it will speak for itself. The deplorable conditions long existing in the government printing office are far from being settled, and the public printer continues to be the target for all the criticism, with the result that he asks of congress a complete investigation of his management of the office since taking charge. The employees are in a state of unrest, spend much of their time in relating real or fancied grievances and most of them never know when they report for duty in the morning whether they will be discharged "without cause" before the day is over. In consequence of this long-drawn-out state of restlessness, the senate committee on printing will shortly take matters in its own hands. A bill will be devised abolishing the office of public printer and provide that the administration of affairs be vested in a resident committee of three, to be appointed by congress, and which will act as a last resort in the settling of differences. It is believed the establishment of such a board to take charge of the big plant will eliminate all personality Visitors at the White House days find their interest centered on Mrs. Roosevelt's collection of anese dolls which she has genealogically placed where the visiting public enjoy the sight of them. The—which were the gift of the esteemed ambassador, are kept under in a cabinet in the famous room. This unique collection, little Japs, dressed in the ancient tume of the country from which came, is superior in charm and to any collection in any museum in the United States. It is proof that later on the collection was placed in the national museum it will bear a tag reading "Lady by Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt." Our National Debt for a Century The public debt was almost three million dollars a century and we had been doing business independently national concern twenty-four years. Considering we started without any paid-up tal, perhaps that may be taken a dence of business ability. The amounted to more than $15 for inhabitant of the young republic economy was a national custom forty years the government owed bill will be devised abolishing the office of public printer and provide that the administration of affairs be vested in a resident committee of three, to be appointed by congress, and which will act as a last resort in the settling of differences. It is believed the establishment of such a board to take charge of the big plant will eliminate all personality and do away entirely with dissatisfaction, discontent and unrest among the several thousand employees. Grievances will go before the three heads and when decisions are rendered the employees will have no recourse and cannot resort to the plea of personal anamosity when ruled against, such as is now the case under the "one man power." Considerable interest is being manifested in the preservation of the Key mansion, located on Pennsylvania avenue in Georgetown and in which Francis Scott Key, the author of "The Star Spangled Banner" lived for many years. The idea to purchase the property by a memorial association was suggested by the fact that the legislature of Massachusetts appropriated a sum sufficient to preserve the home of Dr. Samuel Smith, the author of "America." The owners of the Key mansion were planning to tear it down and build small stores on the site, but local patriots were inspired to prevent what they felt would be a des- The public debt was almost even three million dollars a century ago, and we had been doing business independently national concern twenty-four years. Considering we started without any paid-up capital, perhaps that may be taken advantage of business ability. The amounted to more than $15 for each inhabitant of the young republic economy was a national custom forty years the government owed three and one-half millions, and divided up among the people represented a liability of only 21 cents. We were never nearer out of debt in that year, and it seems a pity that we did not somehow scrap together enough to balance the book. Before 1850 we had incurred the pense of the Mexican war, and debt per capita had run up to 70%. We had gained some energetic city and a lot of productive land, however, and by 1857 the national indebtedness had been cut down to 99 cents for each person. If everybody had sent in to the national treasury then the recent campaign fund plan would not only have been out of order but would have had something laid for a rainy day. In 1865 the water mark of national indebtedness was reached. At the end of the war we owed more than two and a half billions—to be exact, $2,674,856.76, or $76.98 per capita. From time to 1893 the big balance again was steadily reduced, coming down $839,000,000, or $12.64 for each inhabitant. There was another upward movement till 1899, then a decline to 1905 another raise is noted, because declined since, and now the deficit $964,435,686, or $11.41 apiece. Clearly the review of this portion of the statement, it may be said that no uneasy and prevailed upon the to suspend building operative six months, by which time ted to have the purchase by popular subscription. interest has been steadily in this historical old mansince President Roosevelt that the "Star Spangled was the national authem. ion was settled at the time of foreign governments rethe United States to furnish its national air. State deofficials were in a quandry. that "America" was the long, others claimed that cumbia" should be designthe president declared written by Key, and in received official recognind spelling, as advocated at Roosevelt, has received set-back in the house on appropriations. It is this committee to influress to refuse from the printing office all docureports in which the new spelling is used. The estithe cost of printing are to the committee in and it now appears that be considerable increase case of documents if they and printed with two disof spelling. This fact carry great weight with as each is determined st to reduce the cost of need be entertained concerning the indebtedness. We owe most of it to ourselves. We have other liabilities, however, besides the national debt. There are State, county, municipal, and school district debts, aggregating on June 30, 1905, the eminently respectable figure of $1,864,195,826. This, added to what the government owes, brings the total up to $35.49 per capita. There is, perhaps, more satisfaction in noting our growth in wealth as a nation, though the figures on this account do not reach back so far. We incurred debts long before we took an account of stock or even fairly realized what our resources were. Not a good example, by the way, for the young financiers now at their lessons, but there is extenuation in the circumstances. It is estimated that in 1850 there were a few more than twenty-three millions of us, and that all our property was worth $7,135,780,000, or $307.69 apiece. Notwithstanding the waste of the war, in the decade of 1860-70, the national wealth nearly doubled, rising from sixteen billions to thirty billions. In 1900 it was six times as great as in 1860, amounting to $1,235.86 for each man, woman, and child. The rapid increase continues. It will be noticed that six years ago we could pay off everything, clear the books from the national treasury down to and including the school houses, and still have $1200 apiece left, figuratively and collectively, if not individually.—Argonaut.
