.S5OO,OOO STATE
| LOSS LAID TO
/ BUYING 'SNUBS'
Several Government Units
in Indiana Hit for Plan
! of Purchasing.

!, Charges that approximately $780,
900 is lost to the State annually
through failure of various units of
township, county, municipal and
State government institutions to
purchase products manufactured by
State penal institutions, are made
by Henry Roberts, State sales agent.
Instead of purchasing Indiana
prison-made products at a great
saving, these various units are buy
ing State manufactured goods.
r. IF the institutions used our goods
they would pay indirectly into the
Golfers of the State $676,021.
" S476,621 to Outside" Firms
Records show that these units of
State government at the present
time, are only purchasing approx
mately 100000 worth of these prod
nctS annually from the penal insti-
buttons. This amount, deducted from
the $676,621 spent on the purchase
of staples each year, leaves a total
of $476,621 of merchandise patron
age which unlawfully goes to outside
sources" Roberts charges.
Indiana prison-made products
are at least 25 per cent cheaper than
any other merchandise sold in the
State, the amount that the units
lose in not taking advantage of this
low priced merchandise is approx
fmately $119,155, which excess is
naturally borne by the taxpayer.
" Prison Also Loses Profit
'"The three penal institutions also
lose their small profit which would
be applied to keep them on a self
sustaining basis, and which would
also tend to relieve the taxpayer OF
the burden, which, by strict enforce
inent of the law requiring purchase
of prison made goods, would be less
ened materially.
= IF the twenty State institutions,
with their 1879 inmates, the
ninety-two county poor asylums
with 1885 inmates; ninety-two jails
with 1858 inmates; twenty-eight
county hospitals, twenty three coun-
ty orphans homes, more than 5000
schools; four colleges, 100 city gov
eminent buildings, ninety-two court
houses, State capitol and annex;
ninety-six school buildings, erected
each year, would purchase necessary
commodities from the State penal
institutions, the State would receive
approximately one-half million dol
lars yearly and would keep the penal
Institution factories operating at
capacity.
Wide Range of Products
3" mo State, county or municipal
unit need purchase brooms, mops,
busketS, coal hods, rugs, waste and
laundry baskets, furniture, mat
tresses, pillows, toweling, flags and
banners, shoes, work shirts, under
wear, brick or building tile and even
tobacco from outside sources when
they are all provided by the penal
institutions.
Officials are not obeying the law
as the records show and the prose-
cutors must not permit such laxity,"
Roberts said,

California has been launched bJ'
the Automobile Club of southern
California. Civic organizations,
women's clubs, newspapers and city
officials are cooperating.
A new type of metal has been
produced to replace the present use
of cast iron for automotive engines.
It is called "Meehanite,' and is
merely cast iron made four times
it's original strength, noncorrosive
and acid-proof.
Twenty auto trucks and cars
toured France for over 1000 miles
in a demonstration of the economy
of using French fuels as against
imported gasoline. Only gases pro-
duced by French firms were used.
The export of automotive prod
ucts from this country is exceeded
only by the export of two other
products, cotton goods and petro-
leum.
