SAVES STATE $4,000
BY CONDENSING COPY
Bobbitt's Report Shows Editing
Department Reports Cut
the Cost.
From a stsHf Correspondent.

TRENTON, Jan. 22.-BenJamin 3.
Bobbitt, of Long Branch, commits
sioner of the department Of public re
ports, today forwarded to Governor
Fielder a report showing that his de-
partment has saved $4,000 in the edit
Ing of State documents.
Most of the saving was accom-
plished by editing and condensng re
ports of departments and conferences
with State officials as to just what
material might be eliminated in the
printing of reports without detriment
TO the informative value of the docu-
n1ents.
Mr.. Bobbltt praises the checklist
of state publications, compiled under
she direction of State Librarian John
P. Dullard Upon the initiative OF
the commi ssioner q. number of pub
lications this year will be printed In
separate phamphlets, dealing with
certain bureaus or divisions, which
will lower the cost of both printing
and distribution.
Extension of the State use system
In the penal institutions by which
several State reports were printed Is
recommended by commissioner bop-
bitt.
Mr.. Bobbitt said:
"I am oxerting every effort both to
reduce printing costs by curbing pro
lixity, sliding superhuous matter, and
otherwise, and to make State publica-
tions, wherever possible, more attrac-
tive and accurate. 1t is difficult 10
establish uniform standards. The
Ill, - RI fvT
and discretion. Supervision becomes
more necessary all of the time be-
cause as there Is expansion OF the
functions of the State government
the advisability of condensing the
story thereof to the point of making
reference easy increases. To con-
dense intelligently requires investiga-
ton and study of the subjects dealt
with. This I am engaging in, with
hope of further beneficial results TO
the State"

Some Overlooked Information.

Altogether pitiable the plight of those Dis
trict officials and citizens who floundered so help
lessly at the hearing on the school question yes
terday when innocent members of Congress de-
manded to know whether Congressman ever
sought places for their constituents and friends on
the Districts pay roll. Nobody had answer
ready though District Commissioner Newman, to
his credit expressed a willingness to discuss the
subject at length if the statesmen did not object
However, he did not avail himself of the perms-
sion given him to talk about the Congressional de-
mands for District jobs if he did it good natured-
ly" In the midst of the excitement the various
witnesses who were heckled on the subject of
their fears that politics would creep into the school
system under the proposed plan, completely
overlooked the fact that exact information on the
subject was furnished very recently from a high
official source. Only day or two ago Corporation
Counsel Syme, authority close to the Commits
sioners said in addressing meeting of citizens: 81
will say for the present Board of Commissioners
that they have not permitted politics to change the
personnel Of the District service despite the great
pressure which is continually being brought on
them by Senators and Representatives"
This illuminating statement surely should have
been placed before the committee OF, distinguished
Representatives, by the citizens as showing the
pressure and the possibilities or by the Commits,
sioners to show how fearlessly they have resisted
The Washington herald., 1916-01-21
If Villa Is a Prisoner! |!

Numerous reports Of the capture the killing
of Pancho Villa, of the most industrious of
Mexico's many murderers, have come to the
United States, only to be denied later, unhappily.
This latest report that he has been taken prisoner
has however, stronger claims to crcdence than
any of the others. If it proves to be true there
will be dissipation of the present surcharged at
mospherc of the Senate and the President will tide
over the crisis that threatened to take the coun-
try's Mexican policy from his hands and seriously
impair the peoples confidence in his administra-
tion
Even if Villa has been captured it will be too
early to predict the speedy redemption of Mexico
from bandit control the success of the Car
rama government in restoring peace and industry.
Others will no doubt aspire to Villas place as
leader OF butchers and robbers, but they arc likely
