com commission comm leaon misson expressed him belf very freely today to day on the subject of he the report made to congress Con gresa by cand lers ers sub co emitte in a which an effort is made to denationalize the fair mr do ae Yon nse idea ides met with the hearty approbation of other gentlemen con necked with the commie commission sion and it t looks as though the effort efort of the sul committee to thru hrast attile the national commission into be the background will stir up rip each suchs hornets best nest as will make theaon the congressmen tired of their ungracious task in an interview with a reporter tor for a local paper mr deyoung de young eaid said in ia he the beginning ef the gaudier candler report they tell a falsehood to sustain A conclusion cl they state that the national commission commie sion has caused unnecessary expenditure of public money which was intended tended io by congress to pay the expenses of the government exhibit now that is not true in section 18 of an act of congress it is stated that tho the eum sum of waa was appropriated tor for the expenses expense a of the commission ati and other dother contingent expenses to be a approved by the secretary of the treasury this section provides that the total expenditure shall be a million and a half of dollars which include all expenses for or the care and nd custody of the government exhibit now this biased committee because the national commission has created four salaried officers the eala ries of which are no more then than the responsibility and importance of their positions would warrant call this an unnecessary expense the total amount of excessive expense in accordance cor dance with their suggestion would cut down this terrible expenditure on the president on the vice chairman and on the secretary A total excessive expenditure of that is excessive in the judgment of these three petty men but not excessive in the judgment of of the most prominent public spirited citizens of the united states their next point of attack is on the lady managers the fault finders critic criticize iza the calling together of of the tho prominent women of this nation at the enormous expense of so as to enlist the women of this ration nation it iti the above great exposition this being done under the law which they helped to pass themselves them selvas which w h ach authorized the commission to ap appoint p 0 int lady managers ma their carping seems hypocritical the law which these gentlemen participated in passing to make thie this national oat ional exposition created I 1 a commission to represent the LC jt j t composed of two prominent citizens from each rach state these gentlemen desire to do aay with tha the national commission commis eion awan and an leave eave the management to a beard board composed entirely of re residents 8 identa of the city of chicago such a position as that is ia untenable if it is the nation that is holding tho the exposition then every section of this nation must have representation representation in its management but 11 t the objection to the I 1 I 1 national commission is 13 based principally on oil the prejudice of mr flower because new york does not get the exposition and mr franks ia is opposed on the same ground because st louis was w as left out these would be statesmen trying to clothe theirly tle minds in a seeming cloak of impartiality attack the national commission their solo sole and only object being to injure as much as possible po sibie the exposition by sensationalizing sensAtional izing it and leaving it aft t be ruled by a local locia committee they insult a boily bocy 0 0 ot men 1 ii national dional commission composed 0 I 1 most representative citizens of I 1 republic the majority ot of whom the peers of any one oa on this clr 6 cittee intellectually or otherwise to vent their spleen aganet Chi cagos I 1 success they simply declare themselves be ives unworthy of the position they hold As the national commissioners do not receive sav any salary and are working for tha the good of the nation at large their remarks are in in very bad taste these would be critics state that the comm commission lesion hag has exceeded its power I 1 by the adeol ao n talent of officers and commit committees t ees to conduct the ment of its affairs in its executive details I 1 would like to ask this committee if they eer ever read the law if not I 1 mould would like to call their attention to section 0 which is is mandatory mandi tory and says that the commission shall a allot hot space paca tor for exhibits prepare classification of exhibits determine the tile plan and scope of the exposition and shall 11 appoint all judges and examiners fur for the exposition award all premiums calums it any tiny and generally havo have charge of all intercourse ter course courso with the exhibitors and the representatives of foreign nations now then how bow can con the national commission perform the duties placed upon their shoulders aers without the appointment ol 01 officers and committees to carry out the above duties placed upon them by this very congressional committee and their fellow of congress there are passages in the report that aro are absolutely ridiculous in fact fa t it has made the majority of the laugh at the assumed importance ot of this committee when they state that they tried to impress upon the organization while in I 1 chicago their views in the matter of J jurisdiction and they were pleased to report that their efforts met with bome m e success I 1 am an i very sore sure that as far as a the national commission is concerned they did not pay the slightest attention to them or their suggestions in fact I 1 think the t lie majority of the tile commissioners ners are too tco well informed to listen t ta suggestions from men of the caliber tr composing the majority of this subcommittee sub committee tor for they certainly must bo be small men tojiro to propose pose and report such an untruth untruthful criticism of a body like the national commission associated CuicA ao jan 21 1 the worlds fair directors have instructed the b buildings ail dings and ground 19 round comm committee attee to take ake posses possession eion of the lake front fron t and begin egin at once the erection of five building i rigs to which ch the property owners have lave con consented dented in the event of 0 objection of individual le recourse will be had to the right of eminent domain it is not probable that all of the lake front buildings may ba so constructed as to be he permanent but on this point the officials decline to talk and tho liberals liberals had a great time last night il 11 I 1 I 1 I 1 V L 11 1 1 |
