Overcharges
John F. Barry, of State Board of
Control, Says Evil Lasted
Through Years x
° ■7^X:7:-7
Exaggerated labor charges in the
state printing office, combined with ex
cessive prices paid for every class of
materials used, have cost the school
children of California about $57,000 an
nually since State Printer W. W. Shan
non has been in office, according to
John F. Barry, expert accountant for
the state board of control, who testified
yesterday at the inquiry -now being
made by a senatorial, committee into
the cost of textbooks. : Barry presented
detailed statements of figures to sup
port his declaration.
The aggregate overcharge for the
years 1909-10 is estimated by Barry to
be $57,477.08. out of a total of $153,
--272.21; or 60 per cent more than the
books should actually have? cost. ;
COMMITTEE ASKS MORE POWER
Following the taking of evidence, the
committee adjourned at,the" call of the
chair, after passing a resolution calling
upon Governor Johnson to Include in
his call for an extra session of the leg
islature a recommendation that laws be
passed requiring the attendance of wit
nesses both during the session and
after it had adjourned, and providing
for the punishment of witnesses who
may be held in contempt of?a senate
committee. The refusal of Shannon to
answer questions has forced an earlier
adjournment than was expected.
FIGURES ARE ESTIMATED
The testimony given by-Barry was
based upon examinations-he has made
during the last two months. While his
general figures are only estimated, he
was able to show* in seven instances
that different books each cost the state
from 35 to 61 per cent more than is
necessary, and to point -the way to re
ducing the price to the school children
from 3 to 22 cents on each volume.
A book known as the "A Primer"-was
the first to be considered. The ac
countant had figures showing Shan
non's estimate of the work, which forms
the basis for the price fixed;by the text
book committee, and another Metalled
statement showing the actual amount
expended. Shannon* has charged the
state for labor at $1.25 an hour, when
the amount the printers and bindery
employes received averaged less than
half this amount.
Barry estimated the saving as fol
lows:
Excess wages ..$317.27
Saving of stock ............... 122.98
Total for 10,000 c0pie5....... .$440.25
Deducting this amount from $1,401.50,
the estimate. compiled by the state
printer before including the "overhead
expenses, there is left a total net cost
of $961.25. To this amount the expert
accountant said he had added 35 per
cent to cover all possible "overhead"
expense, which augmented. the net
cost by $336.43, making, the total cost
of 10,000 volumes at the state printing
office $1,297.68, or a little less than 13
cent* each. :-: ' ?;:• r.-yry ".Ay/A
DIFFERENCE BOUGHT SUPPLIES ~
It was shown that it has been the
custom for Shannon to? produce the
books and charge 17 2-10 cents each,
using the difference of 4 2-10 cents to
help buy thousands of dollars' worth
of. unnecessary supplies. ■ *•'
Barry gave it as his opinion that
from 15 to 17%? per ; cent of the net
cost of the textbooks would be an ex
cessive amount to charge to "over
head" expense at the state printing of
fice, but stated that, he- had figured on
35 per cent in order to give Shannon
the benefit of every doubt. ,? '."■ y-A:.
He cited similar overcharges in the
cases of all the other books • issued..-.
CONDITIONS SAME SINCE; 1903 * |
A At the close of his cross examination
by Attorney Roche Barry said: i
"My investigations have led me to
believe that \ this state |of affairs has
existed in the printing:office at Sacra-;
mento since. 1903, and perhaps earlier.
I say that out of justice to Mr. Shan
non." - ..*;■"■'■""'" 7*.' '•• ?
It was stated by members of the com
mittee that nothing can-.-be done
toward reducing the price of the books
for the present, as many dealers; have
supplies on hand? purchased at the old
figure. The matter -will probably be
left open for the legislature to settle.
"ROYALTIES" NEXT SUBJECT
The committee will'not-come to
gether again until the extra session of
the legislature convenes at the: gover
nor's call next -month. At that time
the hearing will be continued? and the
other phase of the problem. relating to
the cost of royalties and the? frequent
changes in textbooks,; will be taken up.
Chairman Strobridge. said that the
results of the hearing haye 1, been en
tirely satisfactory and : he -believes that
ahe committee's 7 report,; when X, com
pleted, will pave the way for the pass
age of a free textbook bill; %

Meaning of Advertising
The primary object of / the merchant ? who ad
vertises in today's newspaper is to sell the
goods that are now on his shelves and counters. ;
The secondary object is to : sell the goods that
will come into his store next week, next month,
7 next year. ■-". - tr ' ?xx ,- .x? : '?'v;7vv-?;7};7xxj;g*
The merchant should never • lose V sight of u thes
secondary object of his advertising. " Each day's
ad must be a substantia! addition to the foun
dation of his store's reputation. •
4 * The cumulative effect ?of daily advertising is •
to make such an impression upon every news--*
paper reader that if he does not want any of the
advertised? articles immediately, he will eventu
ally be made to want them, and will have his
-mind made up in advance :? as to where he ' had '
•■ better buy them. J;5Rx":-"v*?VT* — ~:r T'^T r~"7-p-
Frame your advertising with a view to instant
.results, but count confidently on an extra divi
