If It Is not to be doubted that where no

"The commission's report recommends
that tha lite savins service of the De
partment of tha Treasury ha discontinued

maintenance and operation of tha lite

one of the duties of tha bureau of light
nouses of tha Department of Commerce

dation and urge that the necessary legis

Tha report of the commission on tha

tailed Investigation of the history, or
ganisnUsa, and aeUvtUas at that branch
of tho government service and Ita rela

la reached that all of tha duties now be
ing performed with equal efficiency by
other services and that a great aoonomy
will result by having these dulls so per
formed.' Tha commlsetoa accordingly rec
ommends that tha service be abolished

services requiting . the use of matin

tho performance of the work now being
dona by It by such other aervicea.

'The handling and flung of eorrea

piunsms of th government to which,
as pointed out In my messsge of January
IT. th commission has paid especial at
tention. Tha investigations of exlstimr
conditions have brought out eJearty that.
In many cases, present method are In
efficient and entail large, unnecessary
costs. The feature of present practices
which stand out most prominently aa
entailing large, unnecessary labor and
expense pertain to th briefing, press
copying, and recording and indexing of
communications. It Is the opinion of the
commission that the operation of brief
ing snd press-copying letters can be en
tirely eliminated, and that th record
ing and Indexing of Incoming and out
going letters can be reduced at least 9
per cent.
."Th flat-fillnr system has been sub
stituted for Us old cumbrous folded aad

"AUsntlon la called to the report of
the commission, transmitted to th con-
areas with my message of February f.
and to tho supplementary statement sent
herewith on th centralisation of dis
tribution of government publications. By
adopting this recommendation it la con
asrvatlvely estimated that 1241,00 caa be
saved. This la sxclustv sf th savins
which could be mad by handling th
congressional documents In th name man
ner. An account kept for thirty-one days
with th volume of this huatneaa of

an avsrag of twenty-one ton par day.
These deuimenta war flrat taken from
ths printing fflce In tb capllol. then
from th capital ta th postoffte, thaa
hauled hack to tha Union Station, tha
latter being but a abort distance from
tha printing office. An up-to-dat plant
at tho printing offlc which could handle
all thla would entail an Increased cap
ital outlay for permanent equipment of
only about ITS, an. Th recommendation
for centralising th distribution of Beeu
msnta from th departments, If acted
will affect th appropriation of seven

ments, and th Washington postofflc.
"I may say In connection with this re
port and recommendation that tha house
of repreaentatlvee. In passing th agrl
oultural appropriation bill for th fiscal
ysar IM, instead sf reducing th coat
of distributing government publication
In th Department of Agrlcaltnr by
HR.ona, ha Increased ta the extent of
111.31 tha amount appropriated for sal
aries for division at publication over
th uroprtsUon for th current year.
Will save Mlllteae.
''ta submitting that reports, with
recommendations, will state that ta my
opinion each at tb foregoing reooea
mendailon, If acted on, will contribute
largely to increase efficiency. Dtraetty
and indirectly the changes proposed will
reeult In th saving of many- millions
ef do I bare of public funds. This will
leave tha oongrass free to determine
whether th amount thus saved ah all
be utilised to reduce taxation or ta pro

not be undertaken tor lack of funds
"Again I urge upon tha naaavas th
desirability of providing whatever fans
can be used effectively ta carry forward
with all possible vigor tha wark now
