The government printing office Is
q Frankenstein's monster which no
body has yet found an effective man
ner Of bringing fully under control
Since 1910 1t has been investigated
seventeen times by Congress and -four
times by executive order, but each
time 1t has managed to break away
on its own course as soon as the
watchful eye has been taken off II.
President Rooseve1t's occasional prod
dings with the big stick have hardly
disturbed it at all.
Last week, however, the latest OF
the investigators, the Printing In
vestigation Commission" appointed
Jointly by Senate and House three or
four years ago. made it's report, and
the prospect of real lasting refor-
nation is said to be good. Some OF
the provisional steps which have beer
taken well illustrate the need OF re-
forms. For example. in gathering TO-
eether the surplus printing which
has been piling up in warehouses and
now has no future except to be sold
as waste the commission has elmm-
ated 27s ,5ss, 1877 printed pages, includ-

commission found in storage over g.
800 tons, enough to fill a railroad
train three miles long. Besides the
waste Of government building space
the government was paying $l3,5OO
a year for storage room elsewhere.
Before condemning this accumulation
every effort has been made to place
part of 1t in government offices or In
public libraries. without success
Since 1910 the cost Of public print
ing has grown from 100000 a year
to 100000. In 1905 it was found
that the growth had been 1O2 per
cent in the preceding ten years. Sine
then. however, there has been, by
vigorous effort, an average annual re-
duction of 10 per cent.
In the past new set of laws for
the conduct of the office no soon er
has been codified than the office has
begun to develop so rapidly that the
laws have been useless for its needs,
and the old confusion and waste has
reappeared. Despite all this, the
commission hopes that the new cert
ficate which 1t Is engaged on will
answer for a considerable time to
come. 1t is greatly to be hoped that
the forecast is not too optimistic
