II was going you a different

looking into the waste OF paper and

our government.
"What committee is that9" asked

Thai committee Is called the
Joint Committee on Printing, and is
made up Of men belonging TO both
the Senate and the House OF Repre-
sentatives Senator Reed SmOot OF
Utah, is chairman OF this committee
and Representative Edgar n. Kiess, OF
PENNSYLVANIA, is Vlce-chairman. This
committee has been investigating or
looking into the way in which the
various branches OF our government
have been spending money for print
7g. They found that there have
N 266 journals, magazines and
her kinds Of printed matter printed
by the government, and that this
printing has been costing the govern
mcnt about S2.500,000 every year. To
show you that this Investigation as

read you something from the report
OF this committee which was read
IN the House OF Representative a few
days ago by representative kiess. AS
Is well Known reads the report. the
scarcity OF paper and its abnormal
price have vitality affected the print
ing business during the war. Many
times II has been almost impossible
to get paper at any price. This situa-
ton. coupled with The enormous re.
quirements for paper ~ the war ac-
tivities, OF the government and its ex-
travagant use by the various pub
licity and propaganda bureaus, has
made the work OF the committee most
dlf1cult and trying, but 1t is believed

Another thing this committee
found was The great waste shown In

government departments, such as the
Department OF Agriculture. From
January D 1918. 10 February 10, 1920.
over i,3i9,OO0 pieces OF government
