WASTING THE TAX MONEY.


FOR seven years bill has been
pending in congress to reform the
work of the public printing office.
Nothing definite has been done. In
one year the public printer sold L.
1929 publications for waste paper
because they were obsolete of shelf
worn. The price received by the gov
eminent for these publications for
eight-tenths of a cent pound. An
other official report says that prac-
tically 100000 public documents
are sold for junk each year.
Each senator and representative
receives copies of nearly all govern
ment publications, whether he wants
them or not. Some of the congress-
men have sold them for junk and
Kept the money. Men employed in a
government printing office in Wash
ing are shown to have sent letters to
members of the graft. urging them to
apply for government publications,
thereby making business better for
the employees. In the matter of
ranked envelopes alone Mr.. West
estimates that 30,000.000 were used in
1915. Many congressman are said to
permit private organizations to take
large supplies of franked envelopes
and send out matter that has been
read into the Record. not because it
was of any public value, but because
1t was possible to get the government
to pay for something that later could
be used to further some private
scheme.
Not long ago a bulletin dealing
with grass hoppers in Indiana was re-
ceived here 1t was timely enough
for Indiana. and the presumption was
that its circulation was confined to
this state. Eastern papers, however,
complain that they have been bur-
dened with the same bulletin. South
ern newspapers have received bulle-
TINS telling how to put up natural ice
for the winter. Northern papers are
in receipt of bulletins about southern
crops.
