Government Printing in ^ Washington's Time am row JPa^inir tho Union Station in Wash-1 the lowest bidder, and for five years m-. ington is a great brick building which most take the eye of every visitor to the national capitol. If the visitor inquires what it is, he will be told that it is the Government Printing Office, that here is printed the Congressional Record, all public documents, stationery for all the Government Departments and for Members of Congress. As befits a work so important, this printing is done in the largest _ and best equipped establishment and with the largest number of linotype and monotype machines in the world. That is Government printing as it is done today. With the nation's celebration of George Washington's Two Hundredth Birthday imminent, it becomes of interest to inquire how the Government got its printing done during Washington's Administration when the United States began its career as a republic. On the authority of the Public Printer, George H. Carter, the Division of Information and Publication of the George Washington Bicentennial Commission is able to present some interesting facts on the origin and growth of Government publication and printing. The first mention of printing for the Government of the United States occurs in the very first session of Congress in 1789, in the form of recommendations to Congress that proposals be invited "for printing the laws and other proceedings of congress," both Houses having entered into an agreement to,have their journals and acts printed. But not until 1794 do we find Congress ordering an expenditure of $i0,000 for "firewood, stationery, and printing." Prior to this act, the cost of printing was paid oat of the general contingent fund. In 1804 we find Congress instructing the clerk to advertise for its this contract system prevailed, withe no fa.iisfactioii, however. In 1818 the Senate and House appointed a joint committee to inquire into a better method. This committee reported unanimously and emphatically in favor of a governmental printing establishment, as the most economical and satisfactory, yet for more than forty years the report was ignored and Senate and House ballotted each year (Hi the choice of a printer to handle its work. Finally the expense and impractiicality of this policy led to an Act of Congress on June 23, 1860, which authorized governmental printing under a "Superintendent of Public Printing." In 1861, $135,000 was Appropriated for the purchase of an established printery. Evidently this was, for the time, a modern plant, employing 350 people, and there for the first time the Government became its own publisher. President Lincoln appointed John D. Defrees of Indiana as Superintendent, who promptly reported decreasing the cost of national printing at least 15 per cent below the old contract price. As the business of governing the nation grew, the government printery was enlarged, until 1899, when the present great building, to cost $2,430,- 000 was authorized. In the meantime the "Superintendent of Public Printing" had been named simply the Public Printer. Now this model' plant employs 4,000 people, with an annual payroll of $7,647,000 and a total yearly expenditure of $11,834,000. Surely George Washington would approve the growth and efficiency of this institution and the immense advance it represents over the primitive methods of printing and handling Government documents in use during the First K. e stfphbnson printing and to award the contract to j Presidency. ,-v H4' • SLOCUM'S LAKE ayne Bacon was a caller at ttctfenry Saturday. v Mr. and Mrs. Ray Dowell were Millers at Lake Zurich Saturday. * Mrs. Henry Geary is ill at this writteg.

By BOMB C STEPHENSON President Amtricmm Bmktrt Atfcimtitt ALARGE portion of the funds re* quired in home building always has been furnished by banks. They have shown constantly a deep interest in the performance of this feature of national development. Upon it rests much of our country's f a t u r e stability, and any contribution to its adv a n c e m e n t redounds to the advantage of all. So banking has never permitted its co-operative attitude toward home building to lessen. Practically all banks now accept savings deposits which can well be turned to the advantage of the home builders. The construction o! Individual dwellings requires a large amount of financing and is a thoroughly commendable enterprise. Necessarily, the aid given to home builders is governed by the sound banking rules which have grown out of the years of experience and the constant studies of bank practices. All of the efforts made to secure broader real estate loan privileges, to adjust resources to make it possible to lend larger sums for long terms, the standardization of mortgage loan formulas,, and the actual lending of vast sums on mortgage notes evidence the desire of banks to contribute a full measurft of support to the home-building movement. This is true of all classes of banks, but even in a more marked degree of those whose deposits are largely in the form of savings and whose loans are primarily for building or home purchasing purposes. Both Side* Protected The process through which hank loans are made on real estate is as simple as the nature of such an important transaction will permit. When money is advanced the lender must know that repayment will be made the specified time. Likewise the borrower wants to be assured that, after he has figured the loan on the basis of his conservatively anticipated ability to pay, he will not be required to do more, that he will not be disturbed in his efforts to work out of his obligations under those terms. Whether his agreement is to repay the entire loan in three or five years, or on a monthly or yearly basis, he wants the assurance that no additional burdens will be imposed upon him. All of this is settled definitely in advance. There is no mystery about any of the details, and when the negotiations are complete the borrower knows just what he may expect and what he will be required to do to meet his obligations. Loans made to persons who wish to acquire homes are not necessarily building loans. One may wish to purchase a home already constructed. In this form of transaction bank loans are used very freely because it is the only kind of a real 'estate loan some classes of banks may make. Others of course, may lend upon real estate with improvements uncompleted and advance funds as the construction progresses. Different styles in home financing have .developed in the varlbus states, and banks have tried to adapt their facilities to the needs. Whatever character of assistance is required in any particular instance usually can be found in some bank in the local community. Among banks and borrowers for home acquisition purposes a long established and thoroughly tested relationship exists. Banks are not the only agencies through which such funds are available; they do not embody all the spirit of helpfulness which abounds. However, through the years of their co-operation their aid has been of unquestioned value to the home builders whose efforts to establish a permanence for themselves have received constant encouragement. Bankers everywhere are ready to counsel with their customers about their home-building plans and to assist to the extent of their ability. This is being done constantly and the many advantages of it are not without recognition. '^Washington --by-- National Editorial Association Washington, April 29--It may afford the humble workers in the political vineyards satisfaction to learn that they have suddenly assumed merited importance in the eyes of the grand command of the major political parties.

This condition is due to the failure of the State Department to take the citizens injo their confidences.

Considering the importance of the oil industry in these commonwealths, their concern over the identity of a Speaker can be readily understood.. . On the other hand, representation has j n,£«t, been made by legislators from the thickly populated eastern states where consumption is heaviest that a tax on oil would mean increased costs for petroleum products. With the Republicans divided into hostile camps as to whether the new JJpeaker will be favorable to protective oil legislation the Democrats may find the control of the House wished on them without their bidding for the job. This same issue may have much to do with the selection of a Vice Presidential candidate on the Republican ticket in 1932. The subject is not stressed publicly but provokes concern in private chats of legislators. Just where President Hoover will establish the summer White House is a question that has not been settled.
