During brief discussion on Offers for
printing paper for the Government Printing
bureau, Mr.. Rice, of Mss, said that there
was no evidence to show that paper manu-
! facturers have combined to advance the
price of paper. He had heard it charged
| but had never got at substantiatiye facts.
| One reason for the high price was the
scarcity and tax on raw material. -r.
Mr.. Washburn said that the duty on pa
