Office Some Months Ago.

h H. Rand, who, since July 1, 1902, has
held the position of assistant superinten-
dent of salaries and allowances in the
Post Office Department has resigned, the
place to be made vacant Immediately.
He was appointed by Postmaster Gen

Milwaukee. and during the investigation
of the Post Office Department was
charged with using his official position
for the promotion of several speculative
schemes by inducing employees of the de-
partment to invest in the stock of the
concerns.
These companies were generally min
ing corporations and the charges against
Rand were Investigated by the inspec-
tors of the department Nothing tangible
upon which to hang an indictment could
be found and he was never prosecuted
for the alleged violation of the postal
laws and regulations. He at that time
however, was relieved from his duties
and never after returned officially to the
department.

GOVERNMENT PRINTING.
Representative Perkins of New York
Declares That There is Extravaganza

During the general debate on the sundry
civil bill in the House yesterday afternoon
Representative Perkins of New York criti-
cised the expense of government printing
and said it cost % per cent more than
the same work done in private offices. The
government printing Office, he maintained.
should be operated on a business basis and
he called attention to the fact that that
Office was without typesettng machines. In
the last few years, he said, the government
departments have more than doubled their
demand on the treasury for printing and
he argued 1t was not necessary. He ia
vored a considerable curtailment in the
appropriation for printing.
Messrs. Mahon tPa) and Gaines (Tenn.)
agreed with Mr.. Perkins that there was
extravaganza in government printing.
Representing South Trimble of Kentucky
spoke in behalf of the tobacco growers of
the country, asking that the tax be so
modified as to allow the growers to sell
direct to consumers.
