PRINTING BILL AMOUNTS
TO EIGHT MILLION YEARLY
Uncle Sam Uses More Printers
Ink Than Anyone Else in
the World.

Uncle Sam is the greatest user OF
printers ink in the world. In fact
he uses so much that his annual prlhr
ing bill amounts TO some eight million
dollars year More than three-fourths
OF this is expended in Washington.
while the balance represents printing
done for the courts and other bran1 hes
OF the national establishment outside
OF the capital city,
No one ever has undertaken TO es'
innate what IL costs 10 prepare the
manuscripts from which Uncle Sam }
printers set their type. This would
prove a difficult task since these map
uscripts are almost wholly the by
product of the task of expending near
~ billion dollars year. Nearly all
OF them are incidental; but II enc
were TO consider only such activities
as are made primarily for the purpose
OF publishing information, II Is prob.
able that the government pays fifteen
million dollars for its manuscripts.
II has been suggested that one oil
the greatest needs of Uncle Sam Is
an efficient corps Of blue pencil wicld-
ers. II is asserted that IL all OF the
useless and unnecessary matter we're
cut out OF the government manu-
scripts II would not only make them
more readable, but would cut In two
the great national printing bill.
The story of the government print
