Public Printing and Binding

Under legislation enacted at the last
session of the General Assembly the dis
tribution of public documents Is now per-
formed in a businesslike way. The crea-
ton of the Division for the Distribution
of Public Documents will result In dis
continuance of the wasteful method that
existed prior to its establishment. The
editions of certain reports can be greatly
reduced, and it is suggested that legisla-
ton be enacted with that end in view,
in order that 1t may be in force when the
next contract for printing is awarded
in 1917.
Attention is called to the expense OF
printing pink bills used by the Legisla-
ture. The cost of printing these bills for
the session of 1918 was S42,SiSS5 Unless
this printing be essential to the proper
administration of the business OF the
General Assembly, they should be discon-
tinued; at any event, the number OF these
hills should be very much reduced as
a large portion of the waste paper sold
nv the Superintendent of Public GROUNDS
and Buildings represents surplus OF
these bills. .,ol
Acts of Assembly authorizing special
publications should contain an item ap-
nronriating the money necessary to cover
the cost of printing, binding. etc,' mus
enabling the legislators to arrive at some
reasonable estimate of the cost OF sueh
publications.

FItieth AnniOersary of the
Battle of Getfwbnr0

Tho act of May 10, 1909, provided for
the appointment of a commission OF nine
persons to arrange for the proper OBJ
servance at Gettysburg Of the 5Oth an
niversary of the battle at that place. and
to invite the cooperation of other States
and of the United States, and made an
appropriation of S5OOO The act OF June
H. 1911, increased this appropriation to
$4,000.
The act of April II, 1918 provided for
uhe transportation TO and from Gettys-
burg of every surviving Pennsylvania
soldier who participated in the battle, and
set apart Sl65,000 for this object, The
Congress Of the United States directed
the Secretary of War to create and main
tain great camp of visiting veterans
during the celebration, on condition that
Pennsylvania should bear half the eS-
pense, and by act of April II, 1918, the
State appropriated S195,0O0 for the purpose.
The event proved to be a great success
and in every way worthy of the Common
wealth. For the first time since the close
of the Civil War there was a general re-
union of the veterans OF the Union and
Confederate armies, both of which were
represented by large numbers, and the
celebration did much to create good feel
ing all over the country. The President
of the United States and the Secretary
of War made addresses. The Governors
of many of the States and other dis
tinguished guests participated.
The members of this commission are
entitled to the thanks of all the people
