Commissions Final Word.
In summing up its report the Keep
Commission makes this observation:
I'VE desire to emphaize as strongly as
possible a point Of vital Importance. The
public printing Is done at a public es-
tablishment. The appropriation therefor
is a lump-sum appropriation. Two
thirds Of this appropriation Is expended
for compensation Of employees. and the
greater part of the remainder for sup
plies. No matter how much the depart
ments or Congress may do in reducing
the volume of printing ordered and ex-
ecuted. the reduction in actual eXpendi-
tHre must be made at the Printing
ONCE. To obtain practical results. the
reduced amount OF printing ordered
must be attended by prompt lasting,
and commensurate reduction in the pay
rolls and supply bills Of the Public
Printer
