WISCONSIN SAVES
MONEY ON FOOD
Plan Of State To Be Presented
to Secretaries of Various
American States.

MADISON, Wis, Aug S.-How Wis
consin saved more than a million and
a hRif dollars, despite high prices OF
lood ~ the last four years will be- ex-
r,.Ntnod at a meeting OF the secretaries
OF state or ell Che American common
w%taltitn. fney have been invited hero
Aug, n and 2S to discuss the advis-
ability Of a state purchasing agent.
Wisconsin having been one OF the
pioneers In the employment of such a
state official and with results consid-
cred SO gratifying, has been asked to
explain TO the officials Of other states
the details of the accomplishment. Gov.
manuel l.. Philip, VITO conceived and
put through the efficiency program
IN the purchase Of state supplies, and
M, f. Blumenfeld, the purchasing
agent he appointed and who actually
carried out the plan, will be among the
speakers, together with other state Of
ficials and business men yet to be an
nounced.
Gov. Philip was elected to office in
1914 on a platform that included a
business efficiency plank. A success
full man himself, he selected Mr.. Blum
enfield as state purchasing agent be-
cause of the latte!'s having been a buy
er for various large corporations for a
number of yeate. Then began the at
tempt to demonstrate what could be
accomplished for a state through up-tor
date business methods, an undertaking
the administration claims has amply
justified the continuance OF the plan
and Its adoption by other states.
A mimeograph and multigraph de-
partment, used by all the state depart
ments, was installed, with 4 resulting
saving Of 3 1900 claimed. Careful buy
ing at the right time and place with
OF +. o. B. Madison, is declared to
have saved $685. In carta8e alone.
Other accomplishments Of the pur-
chasing agent to which the governor
and his friends point include a saving
Of S4,732, claimed to be the result Of
employing skilled painters to do all the
refinishing and sign work, and an item,
through placing the gardening work
Of the capitol grounds on h capitol
labor force. Then came an alleged
saving Of $220,420 in the printing and
paper used by the various state depart
ments, including the state university
schools, and at a time when prices OF
papers and all office supplies were rap.
idly advancing, and the attention OF
other states was attracted.
1t Is claimed that when Mr.. Blum
enfield took office the purchasing de.
cents a pair for automobile plates when
! steA prices were low but that he sue
ceeded in buying the plates at from .
to II cents a pair in the face of the
advancing steel prices, with a further
entry In the saving fund of $10l, 200.
| Tho present purchasing agent also
| claims credit fort having moro than
trebled the states Insured property

equal to hat before he took office by
demonstrating to the legislature that.
although the state carries Its W in
surance, the premiums were too high,
