MR JOHNSON TAKES WEEK SIGHTSEEING lins Been on the Go Since Monday Will Leave for Home to Spend Christmas Reeess. Washington, Dec. 20.?Represent ative Johnson is "seeing Washington" this week. Early Monday morning he started out, and has been going steadily ever since, and expects to leave for Spartanburg for the Christ mas recess as soon as he finishes his visits to the various parts of the city. Mr. Johnson has been in Washing ton for some time and knows some thing about the "points of interest" that are so numerous in the capital. Rut there are other tilings in Wash ington that arc interesting him this week. He is sightseeing, but he is tiding it officially, for the purpose of securing information with respect to the items of the $35,000,000 appro-1 priation bill of which he will be in charge on the lloor of the house soon after the reconvening of congress in January. The object of this visit is to Inspect the various buildings which the gov ernment is renting from private own ers in Washington. He wishes to In vestigate for himself the character of the quarters for which the public Is paying, the condition In which they are kein, and such things as that. I.t is customary for the Republican members of the committee?:-who have controlled it for 16 years?to approve the rents wlthou'l any ac curate investigation, but this doe:; not satisfy Mr. Johnson, Xctirl) $?00,000 in Rent. Visitors to Washington sometimes '.under how the government oi* the United States manages to make use of all the handsome buildings that are to bo found here. As a matter of fact, use is made of them, and in ad dition the various bureaus of the government service which are operat ing In rented quarters are expending annually rentals of nearly $600,000. At f. per cent, which is a good rate of interest in Washington, the capital invested in the property so rented by the government would he worth $lu. 000,000. As a matter of fact, it is highly improbable that its real value with reach one-fifth that figure. In other words, the government is prob ably paying each year as rent in Washington something like one-third of the value of the property ronted, and has been doing so for years. This is the sort of sight-seeing that Mr. Johnson is doing. He ex pects to know what rents are to he paid, and whether or not the esti mates made for such rents sire rea sonable. He does not believe that Washington property exists for the purpose of earning hig rentals at the expense of the rest of the country.? Spartanburg Herald.
