DISCOUNT SAVINGS
REACH S2,8l,5Q5
Government Now Taking Ad-
vantage of Cash Payments
on Wide Scale.

The Government has saved a total
of $2.3S1 505.33 by taking advantage
of discounts, a survey of the Bureau
Of the Budget discloses.
Discounts for the prompt payment
of bills, which is an important feature
in the business world, the survey
said, were almost unknown in Gov
eminent transactions until after the
World War" Since that time the
Budget Bureau has been checking up
the departments and ESTABLISHING nts,
urging them not only to take discounts
when offered, but TO invite discounts.
A table of answers from the depart.
ments and establishments discloses
that the total amount of discounts re-
ported for the fiscal years 1925 and
1926 was $685.. 1879 Prior to the
fiscal year 1925 the only discounts
taken were by the War Department,
Bureau of Supply of the Treasury
Department, Interior Department
Reclamation Service, and the Atlanta
Duck Mill under the auspices of the
Department of Justice. The total
amount saved by them during that
period amounted TO $l,696, 317.74.
Most Of the departmen and estab-
lshments reported this year that they
not only took discounts when offered,
but invited them. Among those who
did not invite discounts were the Com
mission of Fine Arts, Federal Board
for Vocational Education, Interstate
Commerce Commission, Smithsonian
Institution, Tariff Commission.
Steamboat Inspection Service, Bureau
of Fisheries. Patent Office, Geologi-
cal Survey, Supply Division, Depart
ment Of Commerce, Bureau of Stand
ards. Bureau of the Census, Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce. At
lanta, Leavenworth and McNeils Is
land prisons, Bureau Of immigration.
Bureau of Naturalization. Division of
Publications and Supplies Of the De-
partment of Labor. State Department.
Panama Canal.
The War Department is shown as
having the most distinguished record
in the matter, as it had been inviting
discounts since 1920. In military
phases of the War Department aCtiv
itv there was realized q total of dis
counts for the fiscal years 1925 and
1925 of S345,S7S.S1.
