CUTS TRAVEL ABUSES Mo More Jaunts in Vacation at Expense of Government Uncle 8am Clamp# Down the Lid on Government Railroad Travel Voucher*?Saving of Many Million* Being Effected. Washington.?There will bo uo mer ry skylarking this summer by Undo Saui's uriny of worker? 'at seashore and mountain tops at government ex pense. your Undo Sum has put a crimp free travel abuges. The lid has been Jumped on government railroad travel vouchers. In other years thoushuda have flocked* to the summer resorts on the easily procured travel slips. 1 The young "swell" or "pretty doll" on the government payroll in the old days ran the gamut of "business" ex* cuses, and drew free travel checks besides the usual per diem allowance for subsistence while absent from Washington. Later on the usual thirty days an nual vacation 'tenvf with pay allowed government workers was utilized to drive dull care away. NoW* however, under a rigid econ omy drive, useless travel by govern* went officials or employees of any ? rank is forbidden. r.wroau chiefs are held responsible strictly for abuses of the free travel privilege. It is effecting a saving to the treasury of mnny millions of dol lars annually. Treasury experts declare that ip preceding years the government out lay for this purpose was something in tin? nature oi^ a scandal. Every government department has its corps of special Investigators and experts, many- of whom want to gallop at will at government expense, i ? Until recently officials complained tlyit the hardest work performed by some of this class was that of draw ing their semi-monthly pay. The efficiency and ? economy pro gram has done much to speed up work, and to eliminate waste time and waste motfon. Under reorganization plans government workers do not find idleness such a joy as In the days of old. This has come through the program of reducing the bureaus to normal strength. - It has meant a lot of trim ming In personnel. Still a lot more will he done before peace time basis is reached.
