This is his polemic on travel expense allowances for Presidents, Congressmen and Senators. He names names, and has the facts and figures. Helm boasted that he was the only Washington correspondent who did not pal around with these elected officials, that he was not friends with any of them, so his attacks are impersonal. " The recital palls. The record for every Senator, in detail, is shown in Appendix A to this volume. Every member of the august Senate without exception found thus far dips into the public purse, year after years, and withdraws his hand with about four times as many dollars sticking to it as are really needed to transport him in comfort from his home to Washington and back. . Every Representative, too. . and the taxpayers pay it. Is it to be wondered, then, that Mr. Taxpayer is universally cartooned as a cock-eyed boob? ".
