WASHINGTON CHAT CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE As a result of the failure of congress to raise the salary of government clerks in Washington, and because it is claimed that the merchants of the capital city overcharge Uncle Sam’s employees for all the necessities of life, a movement is now on foot among several hundred clerks, to open a co-operative department store for the exclusive use of government employees and their families. Such a scheme has often been talked of but now that a thorough organization has been formed putting the plan into effect, it is quite likely the “Clerk’s Store,” as it is already called, will become a reality. The purpose of the store is not to antagonize the business interests of Washington by underselling the local merchants, as the prices asked at the co-operative store will be the same as those asked by the merchants, the saving to the clerks being realized in having returned to them a dividend from the profit of the store. It is the purpose at the start to establish a grocery and provision store, and if this proves a success, to enlarge the business until it covers all the necessities as well as a few of the luxuries of life. As a model the methods of the Army and Navy store of London will be followed, it being the largest co-operative store in the world, at which can be purchased anything from a pin to an elephant. Every employee of the govern- vision store, and if this proves a success, to enlarge the business until it covers all the necessities as well as a few of the luxuries of life. As a model the methods of the Army and Navy store of London will be followed, it being the largest co-operative store in the world, at which can be purchased anything from a pin to an elephant. Every employee of the government, white or colored, will be eligible to membership, and it is intended to be so arranged that each share-holder will be allowed a vote in the proceedings which govern the store. The "Clerk's Store" will be incorporated and capitalized at $100,000, much of this amount being paid in at the present time. Ten per cent of the net proceeds, after payment of all expenses, will be converted each year to enlarging the business, the remaining 90 per cent being divided among the stockholders according to the amount of their purchases made during the year. TREASURY DOCUMENTS. The question of what is to be done with the hundreds of tons of files and records that are rapidly accumulating at the treasury department is becoming a serious one. At intervals, seven or eight years apart, committees have been appointed to go among the old papers and select those that might be destroyed. This was found a rather difficult task, and only a few of the records were burned. Thousands of tons of the papers, some of them dating back to the beginning of the last century, are stored on the top floor of the treasury building. In fact, nearly the entire story is devoted to the storage of files and records of every kind that have passed through the hands of the officials during the last 107 Weak Lungs Weak Lungs NEED VINOL its cod liver oil elements heal and strengthen the lungs Many people inherit weak lungs which are likely to be attacked by consumption.

The quarters are becoming and the question as to what done is again confrontingials. Both sides of the halls entirely around the building filled with these records. Of every size, papers from department under the treasury many of them are from owner of the world. The very records were made out in 1800. With reference to the cusse reports, which came in years after the establishment service in this country. Many early-day records were de- Bay will be made, and then Washington will see no more of the president until late in the fall. One very serious question that arises in connection with the physical situation of the railroads by the government is whether or not they shall be given in the valuation the benefit of the unearned increment. This is a matter that is being seriously considered by the interstate commerce commission, though it has not yet said how its decision will go. But the case was brought up sharply in the recent investigation of the Hill lines, where the actual and careful valuation of the property including terminals and rights of way at the price of surrounding property footed up a total of about $390,000,000, while the officials of the road themselves confessed that the actual investment was not quite a tenth of that amount. The same question would arise in determining the valuation of a land-grant road as compared with a road built entirely by private purchase. The interstate commerce commission expresses a wish to be perfectly fair both to the roads and to the public when the question is finally settled, but it will be very hard to do complete justice to both sides. As appears at first glance, the real value of a road and the amount of money put into it are two very different things. Of course there is a compromise line somewhere, but it will take a Daniel to find it. Among the other signs of spring annual housecleaning has set the capitol and from now at December the big white will receive a thorough cleaning from top to bottom, in out. First to receive attention famous statuary hall contains statues representing favorite sons of each of these are now completely view under yards of canoeing the only way to promenade from dust and dirt, as too heavy to be moved cleaning and repairing are parts of the capitol have opened of carpets, paintings until the place looks like a barn, and quite uninvite thousands of visitors who visiting the city during the season.

As appears at first glance, the real value of a road and the amount of money put into it are two very different things. Of course there is a compromise line somewhere, but it will take a Daniel to find it. Among the other signs of spring are persistent reports of trouble in the Balkans. No one by this time remembers what Capt. Koehler’s offence originally was. But as he was on one of the 1700 islands in the Philippines, it probably was having trouble with Gen. Wood. What Senator Foraker would like to establish is that the men who shot up Brownsville are not as black as they have been painted. But we think Taft will take care of Foraker in Ohio all right. We do not know what grave error President Roosevelt may have committed, but the railroad comments are all ominously favorable. “Oh, that mine enemy would write a book,” said the Psalmist. And Senator Bailey threatens to do it. Senator Stone of Missouri says we ought to give the Philippines to Japan. This is the first pronounced evidence the senator has ever given of anti-Japanese tendencies. Grover Cleveland says he is still an ardent tariff reformer. That is just what is the matter with all the other tariff reformers too still. Uncle Joe Cannon reports that the only fault he has to find with the canal zone is that its quarrantine system works too well. That sound like a vacaum out Wisconsin way is Senator La Follette long on the cars without a drink. Still the railroad obey that law; and now that has gone after them bare-ting convictions against rate of twenty a day and maximum penalty of $500 There have been 400 case department of justice alreof these only four have been railroads are not paying any to the fines yet, but $10,000 sessed against them will be in time. The law is likely It is not a perfect law yet forcement will be something of cleaning, but nothing to being undertaken now. Dennis season at the White House opened this week, the first the president on the grounds in the rear since last fall. The past has been so wet and muddy that the first chance the president had to invite some of his friends to a combat. The lively one, and in addition president those who parled were Ambassador Jusserrance, Secretary of the Infield and Assistant Secretary Bacon. Much to the aid of the president, the most times were in favor of him is opponent. Congress adjourned Pressevelt has been devoting this time to clearing away that accumulated during new weeks of the session and things in shape to perennial summer vacation which is going one. He is looking forward with great eagerness and ready to that part which will be the Jamestown exposi- tion he will journey for the day on April 26th.

That sound like a vacum out Wisconsin way is Senator La Follette weeping over Senator Spooner's resignation. Dispatches announce that Missouri is to have an extraordinary session of the legislature. When Missouri has any other sort it is time to sit up and take notice. Railroads Must Obey the Law Whatever may be the ethical aspects of the cattle transportation question, there is no doubt whatever that the new law is being so administered by the department of agriculture that the railroads will be forced to obey it in the end, and the cattle sent to market will be much better off than they have been for many years past. The fight against the inhuman treatment of cattle on the railroads has been waged by the Humane Society for many years, and it was only after the society brought pressure to bear on the secretary of agriculture that the old "28-hour" law was really enforced. This led to the fight in congress last winter when the old law, after bitter opposition on the part of Humane Society was extended to 36 hours, meaning that livestock could be transported that B.
