comes from Greek word that means
good news or glad tidings. Any good
news is gospel but not the gospel Of

A State Purchasing Bureau

At the instance Of Controller Travis a
bill has been presented at Albany provid-
ing for a commission, composed of various
heads of departments, to investigate and
report on the method of purchasing sup
plies for state departments. The purpose
is to work out some kind of central pur-
chasing bureau, which shall give to the
state the advantage of buying in large
quantities at low rates, thereby eliminat-
ing present methods, which the states
auditing officer characterizes as "abso-
lutely wasteful and inefficient"
There is need for such system, beyond
a peradventure. Various previous inves-
legations Of departments, even the imper-
tecJ and more or less partisan work of the
defunct Department of Efficiency and
Economy, have demonstrated that. State
departments now make their purchases
without regard to what other departments
may be doing, with consequent profit and
advantage to the supply men but with no
particular consideration of the taxpayers.
What this means is that the state pays
retail prices-fancy prices, in many cases
for millions of dollars worth of material
annually. The wastefulness of such meth
DDS can be seen easily by slight study of
the savings made for New York City by
Mayor Mitchel's purchasing committee,
which, under present arrangements, can
not do business for all the city depart
ments as it ought to do, and therefore can
not make as large showing Of savings as
application of this plan to all departments
would produce.
1t is well that state of1icialdom is at last
taking note of a preposterous situation.
State finances are in no condition to De
subjected to unnecessary drains. Analysis
of income and outgo indicates practically
constant necessity for direct tax to make
up for the falling short of the proceeds Of
indirect taxation, however they be aug
mented. The wise plan, obviously, is to
cut down the outgo wherever it may be
done. and in the case in point it undoubted-
" may be done simply and easily, with no
harm. but with decided benefit, to the state.
