GOVERNMENT PRINTING WASTE

Fresh demands for economy from high officials at Washington and recently issued report of the public printer have stimulated fresh criticisms of the governments printing bills Anmadversions versions against the conduct of public business not infrequently indict the waste in the governments printing ohHce the waste of the printed matter itself It is the later phase that is stressed in the Wall Street Journals comment:
 "At least three-fourths of the stun sent
 through the mail without payment of post
 age by the departments at Washington"
 AS an example of the appalling waste, the ed itorial cites the case of Brooklyn man who wrote to his Congressman asking for a copy of the Con gressonal Directory and has since been receiving, through error the part of the congressman's stenographer. daily copy of the Congressional rec ord. "An the Departments less doing the thing. and the taxpayer pays.''
 While there is considerable waste this indict- ment of government departments is too sweeping. In the first place the departments not con- cerned the issue of the Congressional Record. It is published by and for Congress Nor is 1t dis tributed free to all applicants. Each Senator is entitled ss copies. which may. course, be to any address that he indicates. Each Repres- entative is entitled to 60 copies. There is some further provision for the press. What the print ing office the departments send in response to orders from congressman who in turn have re- ceived requests from their constituents, is not to be confounded with the unsolicited lterature-us- ually their speeches-dstributed only lib- orally under the frankng privilege by the congress- themselves.
 When congressman procures government pub 'jcation request for constituent, the presump- ton is that the constituent has a for it just the Brooklyn has for the Congressional Directory. While not all departmental publica- tions prove of intrinsic value get into the righ. hands it is probable that they are not crcu- lated widely enough than that 75 per cent of those circulated represent waste.
 It is easy matter. for thing to order from the government printing ofhce. In the ond place. adequate supply of publication is not always available. When the National Auto mobile Chamber of Commerce desired 100 copies of departmental periodical containing an important federal report the of highways in New Eng land. the government printer could supply only 10. so close to known demand was the number of cop ies regularly printed.
