NEW SYSTEM ADVANTAGEOUS
Keep Commission Makes Report on
Cost Keeping in the
Public Service.

Washington. Jan. 13.-President
Roosevelt today made public report
on cost keeping in the government
service" prepared by the Keep COM
mission A cost system, if properly
devised and operated, the report says.
will furnish information enabling the
responsible head of the organization
to estimate more intelligently the prob
able cost of future operations along
similar lines, and to fix proper selling
prices on products transferred to other
government organizations, or sold to
foreign governments or TO private in
Ciividuals. The recommendations have
the cordial Endorsement of Secretary
Shaw.
Cost keeping as branch of account
ing is a comparatively modern devel-
opment, the report says, and has not
been introduced TO any considerable ex-
tent in the government service. In
this matter the government has much
TO learn from private business. In
work of this character the institution
of a thorough cost keeping system
would make intelligent comparisons
possible and would tend to bring the
less effectively conducted establish
,nents up to the standard of the best.
The report recommends that cost
keeping systems be installed 5 in all
branches of the government service
where il is possible to do so.
The public printer is working out the
details of an elaborate cost keeping
system which he Is about to install in
the government printing office, and the
mint bureau has put new system in
effect AT the various mints.

JERONE's new CAMPAIGN
New York District Attorney Will
Try to Stop Betting on
the Races.

New York. Jan. 13.-Distriet Attorney
Jerome has started a campaign TO elimi-
nate race betting i'm this state. He will
go TO Albany tomorrow and ask the leg
islature to wipe out certain sections OF
the Percy-Gray law. In one bill he seeks
to deliver q death blow to that section
which says that the only penalty for
bookmaking at the track shall be re-
covery of the bet by a civil suit. In an
other bill he proposes to amend the pc
nal code so as TO make DoOKmaking at
the track or at any other place a mis-
demeanor instead of felony, the pun
ishment to be not more than one year
in the penitentiary, or q fine Of $500. or
both.
Relating to these two bills. the district
attorney has drawn a bill to provide for
the income which agricultural societies
throughout the state receive through the
provisions OF the Percy-Gray law. In
stead of getting a per cent of the receipts
of the racing associations. he provides
that a certain fixed sum. not designated
in the bill as drawn up. shall be appro-
priated out Of the state treasury for ag-
ricultural purposes.
