NUMBER B 99,
TO CHANGE
PRINTING Law.
Proposition to Abolish Institution of State
Official Journal Being Discussed
Statewide Competition for
Legislative Printing
Would Result.


| Legislative Printing
Would Result.
The following appears in the news
columns of the Baton Rouge Daily States
| Times:
Radical changes in the existing state
printing law will be proposed at the COM
ing session of the Louisiana general as
sembiy, judging from recent uttegances ON
the part OF number of assemblymen who
have expressed themselves on the subject.
At the last session the law, which had
IN the past by its provisions tied all state
printing, averging over 100000 every
TWO years, to Baton Rouge newspaper,
was SO altered that all save the legislative
printing was thrown open to statewide
competition. This has resulted in a saw
ing OF many thousands of dollars in ali
| the departmental printing.
The law presently provides for an
official journal which shall be located in
Baton Rouge and to which is given all the
legislative printing which amounts to
over 900 for each session.
1T is now proposed to abolish the Off
clal journal arrangement, and thus throw
the legislative printing open to statewide
competition.
1T IS contended that an official journal,
as that institution is conducted in Iouisi-
ana, serves no purpose of any benefit to
the commonwealth. and that its sole ex-
euse Tor existence is the party necessity
for maintaining a mouthpiece for the adj
ministration.
"Of the forty-six states in the union,
only four, including Louisiana, maintain
any such thing as an official journal. and
IN none of these is the official journal used
as a peg on which to hang carefully
guarded extra mass of legislative print
ing,
THE four states possessing official
journals are Mississippi, Kentucky, Wis
consin and Louisiana.
In only one of these. Kentucky. does
the state print (and pay foro in the col
unlns Of the official journal the journals Of
the house and senate.
In Mississippi the official journal only
carries fas laws and certain proeianla
tons Of the governor
In Wisconsin the same condition ex-
lists.
Louisiana usually pays for this pub
lication Of the house and senate journals
about $4,000, according to the volume of
business transacted
In great many states OF the union
the proclamations of a local nature are
printed in the county affected. That is, if
an election is called in a county in the
northwestern portion of the state, or
reward is offered for the arrest of a mur-
derer. the proclamation is printed in the
county in which the election is to be held
or the murder committed-not in the off
cial journal at the state capital.
in several of the states the governor
designates a paper in which advertise
ments for bids are printed In about
three states the governor designates pa
pers for the publication Of small amounts
of official matter.
No state in the union has such a
printing law as Louisiana hasa law
which practically limits competition on a
great contract to maintain one newspa-

VXTHAT is considered a real step to-
w ward greater economy and more
efficiency in the management of the
governments business was taken
when President Taft appointed DR..
Frederick A. Cleveland, director of
the bureau of municipal research in
New York city, as the head of a cen
tral staff that will work on the econ
omy and efficiency problem under the
direction of the president. Announce
ment was also made that each of the
cabinet officers will organize in his
department a committee or commits
sion to be known as an economy and
efficiency organization.
These steps were taken under the
law passed at the last session of con-
gress directing the president to con-
duct an investigation into the busi-
ness methods of the several executive
departments, and giving him 100000
with which to carry forward the in
uuiry. The final plans were not ap-
proved by the president until he had
consulted with a large number Of
business men and had received writ
ten suggestions from numerous audit
companies.

NEW NOSE MADE FOR WOMAN

A woman recently left the London
hospital with a new nose made from
a flap of skin taken from her own
forehead. The operation was rendered
necessary on account of an ulcer of
years growth, which had gradually
eaten away all the tissues Of the nose.
A racquet-shaped flap of skin about
two inches in length and an inch and
a quarter wide was cut, extending up
wards, from the bridge of the nose,
the beginning of the handle" of the
racquet being the only point Of at
tachment. The skin was very care
fully detached from the underlying
bone, and, being swung round with its
attachment at the base Of the nose,
was made to cover the previously de-
nuded nose area. The new nose was
stitched into place at the sides, open
ings being left for the womans nos
trils. The denuded space on the fore
head was then covered in with skin
gratis. The patient, a woman of fifty
years, who was only three weeks in
the hospital, left well pleased with
her artificial features.

Has Plan to Care for Ex-Presidents

ganized sentiment, 10 adopt the same
method with the president Of the
United States, make him, for life, an
advisory member of the presidents
cabinet and give him a competence
sufFicieat to make him independent
Speaking OF this proposal, Mr.. Baker
said that 4 was really surprising how
many men there were in the west wno
thought that this method furnished
the solution of the perpetual perplex
ing question as to what disposition tc
make of our ex-presidents.
"On its face the proposition is GER
tainly a plausible one. 1t stands to
reason that after man has been
president for four or eight years he
knows the problems and difficulties
which confront the man at the helm
of the ship of state better than does
his successor. If the ex-presidents
could be made advisory members Of
the cabinet of the president, the lat
ter would get the benefit of the ad'
vice of the former. No matter If
there should be a change in the ad'
ministration, this would make no diff
ference to broad-minded men.
"Of course, there would have to be
legislation providing that when man
is elected to the presidency his sue
cession to the cabinet position neces
sarlly follows. All this is not mere
theory. It is indorsed by some Of the
political thinkers of the country"

Expert to Head the Economy Bureau

The central STAFF, Of which Mr.
Cleveland is to be the chief, will be
composed of four men IN addition to
the chief. It's function will be to keep
the president informed as to condi
tions in the several departments II
might properly be called a bureau OF
inspection. The economy and eff
cheney commissions to be organized
in each department will undertake to
ascertain II greater efficiency can be
obtained without increasing the cost
of the service.
1t is explained at the White House
that the general movement does not
contemplate the dismissal Of govern.
ment clerks, but the gaining Of great
er efficiency The president has come
to believe that the departments work
at cross purposes in some instances
and that 1t is frequently the case that
in a particular department money ia
wasted because the service is not or
ganized or centered as 1t should be.
One of the first reforms contem.
plated has to do with the making OF
the appropriations bills by congress-
on estimates submitted by the several
cabinet officers, 1t is the hope and
expectation that Mr.. Cleveland and
his staff will be able to prepare new
form of estimates that will appeal tc
the appropriation committees Of con
gress. The executive department, Of
course, has nothing to do with the
making Of appropriation bills, but II
is responsible for the estimates or
which the bills are based.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1910-11-18

UTASHINGToN.-The estimates OF
w Postmaster General Hitchcock
for next year show that the postofiioe
department promises fair TO pay It's
own way. The mail service comes
nearer to the people than any other
branch of the government, for It
reaches every home as well as shops
and Offices. II costs a lot Of money.
Mr.. Hitchcock asks for S250,7S3,943,
and the appropriation for the depart
ment always is set forth in the ex'
penditures for each year, but the earn
ings from the mails bring back the
outlay to the treasury This business
is not reported In the current daily
statement Of the treasury which set
forth only the deficit paid This
amounted last year to $17000,O00, and
win be $6,OO0,00O less for the current
twelve months, while It is predicted
that II will disappear in the next
fiscal year. The department gets no
pay for tho vast tons Of matter which
1t carries f9r other branches Of the

been made to the civil authorities.
Just how general the use Of the
poppy juice has become is not esti
mated, but it is admitted to be more
alarming than ever before in the his
tory of the army. Acting Commander
Col. G. Deems said that in all his
career he had never encountered such
a general addiction to the drug, and
that at worst his observation had
never disclosed a higher percentage
of opium using than two to three pei
cent 1t was at first estimated that
forty per cent. of the men at he
Presidio were using the drug, but this
was declared excessive, a more prob
able figure after company and hos
pital statistics had been compiled, be
ing ten per cent.
Alarmed at this high percentage
appeals were directed by Colonel
Lundeen, commandant at the post, to
the district attorneys Office and to
the office of the chief Of police, With
the result that raids on opium dens
by the civil authorities are being
made.
