Instances of Waste Cited.

The waste of public documents was por-
trayed by Senator Smoot. Besides citing
MANY instances to show the waste he
said:
Before it undertook to revise the laws
relating to the distribution of govern
ment publications the commission made a
most thorough investigation of that sub
ject. The commission was aStounded 10
discover that since the act OF 1880 the
excess accumulation of documents in
Washington, which neither Congress nor
the departments had been able to distrib-
ute. amounted, in round numbers. to ~,
OOOOUo publications. This number, the
commission believes, Is really hagateile
compared with the vast amount OF gov
eminent publications that have been
wasted by improper distribution and of
which the commission could find no trace.
1t is conservative to estimate that the
10 600 600 practically worthless documents
the last seventeen years cost the govern
ment an average of 80 cents each for
their printing, binding, handling and sto-
rage which would indicate a net loss OF
S5.OOOOCO on these publications OF which
the commission had definite reports.
II believe that it. is safe estimate
that the actual loss due to defective dis
tribution methods has been at least five
times this sum, or not less than $2o,OOO,-
Geo in seventeen years.

Documents From Two Sources.
Inquiries made of Libraries to which
public documents are sent developed the
fact that many of them had not the shell
room for the publications. and that the,
were receiving many documents from two
sources-Congress and departments. Thi:
has been remedied In part already, II wal

Further Saving Predicted.

Re!terating that the present bill is es-
tmated to save 100000 a year, he con-
tinued:
I'm addition to this amount, the govern
ment would save thousands of dollars
that it now has to expend IN transporting
through the mails millions of publications
that are of no use to the persons to
whom they are sent and serve only to fill
the wastebaskets of the nation. The In
vestigation Of the printing commission
developed the fact that the depository Ii
braries of the country alone are sending
back to the superintendent of documents
an average of 100000 publications year,
| for which the government has TO pay the
cost of transportation from Washington
| to the library and again from the library
back to Washington Most of these pub.
| locations have to eventually be disposed
of as waste paper.
| Regarding the provision of the bill CIV
| ing the authority of the printing investi-
| cation commission to the joint committee
on printing, Senator Smoot said:
| There are two important changes in
/ the bill now before the Senate 1t re-
| Iates to the joint committee on printing.
| One of these changes confers on the joint
! committee the authority now possessed
| by the printing investigation commission.
| The fact that during the existence OF the
/ printing investigation commission the ex-
/ penditures for the government printing
| office have been diminished fully mil
| lion dollars a year seems to me SUFFICIENT
/ argument for a continuation of this
| supervision over the public printing and
/ binding especially when it is recalled
/ that i'm the ten-year period from 1898 to
1865, during which Congress refrained

bill
Senator Smoot spoke strongly in favor
of the valuation plan for the allotment or
public documents to members Of Con-
gress. The present system, which allots
as many agricultural yearbooks to the
member from New York as to the mem
her from Kansas. and as many irrigation
publications to the senator from MassaS
chusetts as to the senator from Idaho, he
said has resulted in the waste of many
documents. 1t is proposed in the Dill TO
give every member an account with the
government printing office of credit OF
So, 800 for each senator and $l,sO0 to each
representative, so that he can draw on
this account at cost prices for just the
documents he wants.

Necessity for Supervision.

| Senator Smoot declared that there
should be some supervision over the pub
| lie printers They have expended as
much as S1,OOO,Go0 for machinery and
material in single year, he said, with
| out the advice or consent of any one
The bill proposes to specify that for pur-
chases involving more than $500 the pub
lie printer must receive the approval OF
the joint committee on printing.
| Regarding useless positions in the gov
ernment printing Office. in connection
| with the bilrs provision fixing a def
| mite organization for the shop, senator
Smoot commented:
| Since 1888 there have been four pub
| lie printers and two acting public print
ers in charge of the government print
ing office. Each one had his own views
Of the proper organization for that es-
tablishment, but each in turn seemed
| more inclined to create new POSITIONS
| rather than abolish useless ones esta1-
lished by his predecessor. AS a result
there are now a number of useless posi-
| tons in the government printing once,
| which, l believe the public printer would
be glad to have abolished, but he seems
| to fear taking the initiative in TINS econ
omy. owing to the political inhYence
| which some of the persons holding these
| high-salaried positions have sought to
| exert in their behalf.
/ 1.-The time has come, / believe, for Con-
L
government printing office and to protect
| the government from any further extraV-
agances in that regard Under the pres
ent law and method of making apprOpria-
| tons for the government printing office
the public printer has a fund of approx
| imately 81 SOC, 600 at his command annu-
ally, out of which he can pay unlimited
salaries for such positions as he may
| choose to create at any time There is
not another officer in the government who
has the power TO create and maintain
such high positions as has the public
printer.

MANUFACTURE OF JEWElRY IN
 GERRMANY

After the disturbances of 1S4S bus mess in Pforzheim again increased rapidly Severa local banks were es- tablished. which are of great impor- tance today. as they furnish gold to the manufacturers on credit. In 1868 there were 6745 workmen, more than engaged in the trade. In 1873, 591 factories were in operation. Then the Vienna panic came and the Pforz- helm industry suffered considerably.
 The upward movement was resum- ed in 1885. in which year there were 661 factores manufacturing plated goods to great extent, in addition to highErade jewelry. The plated goods industry developed very rapid ly. Cheap silverware was also taken up. and reached very strong posi- ton. In 1900 there were SS6 factor ies and 16.2O1 workmen were em- I,loyed. In 1907 there were 109S fac- tories. of which 572 made silvcrwaro and small articles of jewelry, em- blowing 24.O00 workinSmen and about one half of the poulation of the city The panic in the United States in 1907 hurt the Pforzheim trade sc verely. In the autumn of 1910 the first great strike among the work men took place. enforced by the workmen's organization. but the en- 1 ployers were victorious and formed strong association among themselves Nearly $7.17S,536 is annually pait | in wages to the workmen. The turn over through the local branch of tho
 Reichsbank in 1910 was S9I,35I.332
 There were 16.420 men and 94O:
