Washington. II. g.. Jan. 20.
Tho Governments printing bill every
6av ~ LbA year is s3S.s5o. This Is the
cost OF producing that sparkling publ
cation. the Congressional Record: the
tons and tons of Government documents,
executive. legislative and judicial
countless income tax and other forms
that are widely distributed the en-
veiopes needed to mail them and the
stacks OF other printed things required,
in the conduct of Federal business.
The United States Government is the
largest single user of printed matter in
the world. There is no other nation
where the consumption OF paper and ink
is so widespread as part of the adminis-
trative work. Continuing. for the in
stant, with superlatives, the most gigan-
tic printing establishment in existence
is located In Washington. the Govern
ment Printing Office.
That giant plant turns out printing at
the rate Of s12 900, 900 a year, but there
IS an overflow Of about S2,000.000 that
has to be done, for one reason or an
other, In outside shops.

At one time the Government printing
bill was bolstered by the publication of
266 journals. magazines and periodicals,
put out by various branches of the SER
vice. notably the army and the navy, to
the extent OF s2,500.000 a year. Those.
however, have been reduced to total
cost Of about $1.200.000 year, but the
figure goes into the lump sum Of s14,-
100000, which Is the estimated cost OF
Government printing from one calendars
end to the other
In addition to the Government Print
ing Office there are, or were at least
before a Congressional reorganization
now in progress was instituted, 2S7 gov
ernmental printing plants operating
about 500 presses and about forty type
setting machines scattered over the
United States and employing more than
500 men and women, with an annual
wage of approximately 100000. In New
York city alone there are half n dozen
printing plants in operation by the va
rious Government services.
The desire to save Government funds
has started an agitation in Congress to
maintain a greater supervision over
Government printing, with a view, If
possible, of reducing the volume and
doing away so much as possible with
needless plants. The work of reorgani-
zation is In the hands of the Joint Con-
gressional Committee on Printing, with
members from both the Senate and the
House serving as a sort of board of
directors OF the Government printing
business. The chairman of the COM
mittee Is Senator Reed Smoot (Utah)
it's members are Representative Edgar

broad powers IN eliminating waste in
Government printing.

services. Others will be dropped later.
IT has meant already a saving of half
the 900 cost to the Government.

system of Appropriations.

Much attention is being paid by the
committee to the abuses of certain
features OF the law which permit print
ing to be done outside the Government
Printing Office. This is made possible
by the system of Federal appropria-
tions making printing funds available
in two ways, one directly for the main
tenance of the Government Printing
Office. and, second. funds appropriated
outright to the various departments for
printing The theory of the appropria-
tlons to the departments has been that
they would repay the Government
Printing office for such printing as
they had done--Eeneral printing, the
need for which did not appear at the
time 81 the adoption OF the appropria-
tion bill In ordinary times the re-
pay printing has amounted to well In
excess Of 100000 a year.
The committee has insisted that all
the printing possible be turned over
10 the Governmtnt Printing Office and
that the private plants be dropped.
After careful examination II has
reached the decision. despite argu-
ments to the contrary. that the Gov
eminent Printing Office is able to do
it's work at less cost than private print
crs have to charge. An economy OF
not less than $500, 900 n year would re-

Revision of Mailing List.
There is a tremendous waste In Gov
ernment printing. due to the fact that
the various departmental mailing nsts
are not kept up to date. Once name

the flood OF printed matter grows and

The result has been that recently tne

MD. TOMATO
IS MENACED
California and Other West
ern States Threatens TO
Take Leadership
HARTFORD FARMERS
ON THE ALERT

BELAIR, Nd. May 24.--That
Maryland's supremacy as a tomato
producing state is seriously menaced
by a number Of other States is the
belief OF many Hartford county far
mers and canned goods brokers. Al
a meeting held in Belair recently by
the Farmers Federation a number OF
tomato growers admitted that several
western states, particularly Callfor-
MIA. are threatening Maryland's
leadership and quoted statistics to
prove their assertions. In 1913, II is
claimed. California packed fewer
than 100000 cases of tomatoes
Maryland packed more than three
times that number. Since then Cali
fornia packs have remained almost
stationary, while Maryland packs
have been decreasing.
The cause for the reduction IN
Maryland yield, according to those
who have made study OF the stu
ton. is that farmers in California,
Utah. Colorado and Othe, Western
States cultivate their soil more scien-
tsficailv. Western crops. statistics
show, average between seven and
nine tons to The acre Maryland
farms yield only about three and
one-qiiar.cr tons an acre. That this
is not due 10 natural inferlorlty OF
the soil is proved by several Hartford
farmers, who, by scientific methods,
have produced greater crops than
Western competitors. Tomato can
ners tell OF a farmer near Belair who
raised nearly 20 tons an acre, while
his neighbors were getting three and
one-half tons.
This season, Hartford countians
say. both growing and packing will
be almost at a standstill There will
be less action In the tomato market
than in any Of recent years. The
reason for this. il is pointed out, lies
rather in economic than agricultural
conditions. The price OF canned to-
matoes. because Of lack OF demand
and previous overproduction, is
greatly reduced. Wholesalers can
now buy tomatoes for 20 cents a
dozen cans. Despite this reduction
OF the finished product, elements en-
tering into its production and pack
ing have not dropped materially
Raw tomatoes are cheaper. but cans,
boxes. solder. labels and freight are
only slightly lower, II any.
Figures show that the cost OF can
ming and distributing, not including
cost Of raw tomatoes. is higher than
the market price Of canned tomatoes.
Consequently, Gamers cannot AFFORD
10 pay a price which would justify
the grower In planting. Neither can
they get a price which would justify
him in canning. This condition, IL
is felt. is only temporary. II can last
only until stocks on hand are de-
pieted-probabiy until next year
Even this seasons layoff. many
growers say, Is a blessing In disguise
II viii give the soil a rest or a chang,
and improve succeeding crops thus
helping 10 reduce gains OF Western
States
