all industry, or. If not, how much
industry, should be publicly owned
and operated. 1t is but just, how
ever, to call attention to the case
above cited as evidence that, in one
! respect, the great philosopher was
in error. The time made by the
publicly owned and operated print
ing ONCE was, in this instance, eX-
traordinary Nor is this case iso-
lated. It is we'll known that the
facilities and organization Of the
great Government Printing Office are
such that not only small jobs, but
large. can be turned out with light
ming speed.
Another striking instance is offer
ed by the War Department. In the
report of the Secretary for 1904 (page
23) occurs the following;
The celebrity with which the Sitka-
Valdes (AlGskaJ cable WIS installed
illustrates the possibilities of Am
/ erican achievement in this direction,
Congress appropriated the money on
/ April p, 1904; the contract was
awarded, and the cable manufactured
in New Jersey. transported 1880
miles by rail and sea, installed be-
tween Valdes and Sitka, and thrown
open to commercial business in five
months and twelve days"
Other questions, TO be sure. arise
in connection with that of efficiency.
It is argued by opponents of public
Industry that this gorm or admins
tration costs more than privately
owned and operated industries. The
high annual expense of operating
the Government Printing Office itself
has been freely discussed within
recent months. 1t must be remem-
bered, however. that a part OF this
/ expense has the form of higher pay
with shorter hours and better condi-
tiOns TO the operatives of the plant:
and. since the United States has
definitely adopted the policy of pro-
| tecung its labor, this direct and Ger
tain method Of protecting the labor
employed in lis own industries is not
open to much criticism.
Again, a portion of the high cost
Of operating the printing office is
due 10 excessive and, perhaps, in
cases. actually unnecessary printing
ordered by Congress There is no
evident reason for believing that
much less of this printing would be
ordered from a private contractor
than from a publicly owned plant.
State Legislatures often employ
private printers; but the graft" in
some, at least, of such cases-in Kan
sas. for instance-has led TO vigOr-
Gus demand for a State printing Office
for reasons of economy.
With respect TO efficiency. however,
and this is the point here under con-
sideratiop, the instances cited prove
that publicly owned and operated
industry can perform work not only
we'll but with a speed difficult, if not
! impossible. to surpass.
