Mr.. Ricketts, here asked the commit
tee If 1t thought Government officials
should be allowed to exploit themselves
by placing their names conspicuously
on the title pages of Government publi-

Chairman Lands said he thought this,
as a rule, not a good thing. He added
he knew that some officials ecstacy
existed In proportion to the size of the

publications.
Asked by Senator Perkins what cost
was entailed by people correcting and
rewriting proofsheets, Ricketts, said

Bindery Costly.


Ricketts, said there are 1,40o people
employed at the printery in bool1binding
alone. In great many cases, he said,
the Government is at greater expense in
binding books than private institutions
would be.
I'VE pay higher wages" said the wit
ness. For one thing, the boys get thirty
days annual leave, all legal holidays, and
half-holiday on Saturday in the sum-
mer."
Ricketts, explained that there are sew
eral branch printing offices in the Gov
ernment departments over which the
Government Printing Office has no su-
pervision whatever.

Is 1t not true" asked the chairman
that you have some trouble In salts
tying the somewhat fastidious taste OF
these authors as to how the title pages
OF their works are TO be set up and
printed?'
Vain Authors Nuisance.
Sometimes" assented Mr.. Ricketts,.
they want. and do have. these title
pages changed twelve or fourteen
times
Who are these fastidious uttera-
teurs?' asked Mr.. Perkins.
Il beg TO be excused from answering
that" laughed Mr.. Ricketts,.
