Concludes that the fact that a de-

GRAFTON new scales OF charges which in
nearly every instance are in advance.
and frequently greatly In advance. of
those which had been in use for many
years. As a result mere Is an IN
creased cost to each of the departments
for its printing. AS TO whether there
has been a corresponding increase in
the cost OF production, there is "a dif-
ference of opinion, and I'm this connec-
ton attention is called 10 The statement
OF the Public Printer appended that the
increase in the cost of printing, which
would be inferred from the increased
charge TO the departments, is only aP-
parent, and that it is due largely TO the
fact that under the new cost-keeping
system in the Government Printing Of
fee the actual cost or printing is as
certained and charged, while formerly
the charge WIS at best only approx
mate. 1t should be borne in mind also
that the Government Printing Office
IS in the travail of reorganization, and
that so broad a subject can be touch
ed but superficially by one man, no
matter how experienced, in so short
a time as has elapsed since December
"A, 1907.
Giving due weight to these consid-
erations il is my opinion that The cost
Of printing has increased both appar-
emily and actually within the past few
months. without a corresponding increase

standing that the tendency, owing TO

Charged More for Enclosing.
In the exhibits submitted by the de-
partments, Department OF state shows
that the Government Printing once
charged $40 per thousand for enclosing
PAPER that had in other cases been
bought by the department under con-
tract for s. per thousand. For enve-
iopes the once charged So per thousand
for embossing, as compared 20 s. con-
tract price.
Another illustration from the state
Department shows that for certain work
the Government Printing Office charged
S2Ig 50 per thousand in 1900, S27s IS IN
1907, and S2S3-73 IN 1908. For a job OF
fifty books printed in August, 1905, the
department was charged S1O215, and the
same number Of books IN July, 1907, cost
the department Sl53.
The Treasury Department submits q
number OF examples showing an increase
IN cost ranging from > per cent 10 III
per cent.
The Postofdce Department finds that
the average increase to them is between
ciudes that as this state OF affairs was
not contemplated by the present aIlot-
ment Of appropriation 10 the department
for its printing, II produces a condition
likely 10 lead TO a deficiency.
Indeed" continues the statement
from the Postofice Department, from
statements made by the Public Printer

all departments. met at his office on his
invitation in July last, a reduction IN
cost was to be anticipated in the near
future"
Composition Jumps 4s Per Cent.
The Postofice Department further
states that a jump in the charges for
composition from 20 cents to 81 per
hour has recently been made. This
makes an increase continues the re-
port, of IS per cent in cost of compost
ton, and as this item constitutes prob
ably 3 per cent or more OF all jobs.
it will account for an increase in cost
OF completed work about II per cent"
Altogether the POstofice Department
submits between forty and fifty st-ik-
ing examples of increased charges for
printing.
The Department OF the Interior sub
nits q table showing that there has
been an increase Of 81 per cent in the
cost of printing specifications Of patents
In the first six months OF this fiscal
year, while there is an increase Of only
Is per cent in the number Of patents
issued for the same period. A Job Of
10000 pamphlets that cost the depart
ment sS77.d IN February, 1905. cost ST.
1886 IN October. 1907.
The Department of Agriculture states
that there has been an increase of about
21s per cent in the cost Of reprints Of
Farmers Bulletins and certain other
bulletins, but taking the publication
work as a whole, It is believed the de
partment is receiving as much for the
money expended as heretofore"
The Department of Agriculture. it is
stated, has a. branch printing office in
which most OF the small work is dore
and that the increased cost Of Job print
ing does not affect the department. The
department enjoys some more distinc-
ton is that no embossed Ietterheads
are used. the officials contenting them
selves with letterheads printed I'm the
usual way.

StiIlings Explains Figures.
Public Printer Sullings in statement

public printing and binding is costing
the departments more money than It
has in past years. but he claims that

that the Government Printing Office is
