make: The message is now practically
complete II will be taken up by the
Cabinet on Tuesday and submitted to
Congress week from that date.
In its report the committee shows that
the work of different bureaus overlap
each other and produce duplication OF
edort that will amaze Congress when the
concrete facts are laid before IT, As
basis for its labors. the commission has
made a map OF the business affairs of
the government In every department,
showing even down to the Individual the.
amount Of work he does, how it is done,
and what il costs. BY rearranging the
work according to subject matter. as a
private corporation would handle its af-
fairs, the commission has found way TO
eliminate duplication.
Some Minor Items.
In the report smaller incidents are used
10 illustrate the bigger and more impor-
tant ones. For instance, the commission
has found that in the purchase of drink
ing glasses. pens, pencils, typewriter and
other supplies used in enormous quant-
ties by this vast army of clerks the prices
paid vary according to the department
making the purchase, the prices being
four to five times greater in one depart
ment than another.
In the matter Of copying correspond
ence, entering it in records, and in filing
documents, the cost Is five times greater
in some departments than in others.
The commission recommends that all
supplies shall be obtained through a
central office; that where sufficient are
used to justify it, the supplies shall be
made according to the government
standard and bought at the smallest
possible margin OF profit for the man

saving or 20 per cent on this would be
made. That seems like a small matter,
but II amounts 10 Ss.4O0.OOO year.
