She fell TO the pavement

The facts revealed by The Washington
Herald that Public Printer Charles A.
stillings has, in many instances. let con-
tracts for material and supplies to The
Audit System. which he put in the Gov
ernment Printing Office. to install and
instruct in cost, audit, and inventory
system, have been the subject of much
comment
People engaged in business enterprises
In Washington, who have properly sought
TO furnish the Government Printing Of
ice with supplies and seldom succeeded.
are especially interested.
The feeling is not confined to business
men or to employees of the Government
Printing Office. Members of Congress
have been thoroughly aroused in several
Instances.
Mr.. suIIings, It has already been shown,
has on many occasions let contracts to
The Audit System for material which a
thousand other firms throughout the
country could no doubt furnish just as
well. or possibly better as the system. -
lie has let so many such contracts that
it would be wearying to set them all
forth.
But il has never before been stated
mat in some instances Mr.. StilIings let
contracts TO The Audit System when
other firms bid less for the material
which the specifications in question called
for. Mr. Sullings. no doubt. is the final
arbiter Of who shall get contracts But
it is regarded as strange that he should
so favor a system" which he put in
his Office TO do audit and cost work. when
Il becomes a matter Of placing orders
for desks, cabinets. binders chairs &c
In one instance Mr.. StHings let con-
tract to The Audit System for desks
when another firm bid a considerable
amount lower Il is not known that The
Audit System ever changed its bid. Nor
is this all. MT. StiHings. The Washing
ton Herald knows. has let contracts to
The Audit System when there was no
competition. Perhaps Mr. Stllings has
the power to let contracts without com
petition; possibly he has not.
Mr.. Stillings in one instance let con-
tracts TO The Audit System for binders.
The instances in which The Audit Sys-
tenn has furnished binders We're, no doubt,
many, but in the one referred to there
was no competition, and where there
was a large amount involved
In the matter of OIL MIR. Stillings did
not sign contracts with The Audit Sys-
TEN, but possibly with it's agent. who
Is also the agent, il is alleged Of the
Suffolk Distributing Company In other
instances Mr.. Stillings, it is alleged
signed contracts for other kinds of sup
plies through either The Audit System or
the agent Of both that System" and
