Internal Revenue Office Life and Lapses in Washington
A Washington World feature explores the Treasury Department’s Internal Revenue Office. It details Hon. John William Mason’s leadership, office layout, and clerical staff, noting large receipts for 1887 and 1888, the role of women under civil service, and the impact of tobacco and oleomargarine taxes on revenue. It highlights a witty entry on agency staff, including stenographer John T. Bivins, and ends with a humorous Pension Office quip about travel on bit uppers.
