An ef- fort will be made to check the abuse by means of an amendment to the general printing laws, The brokers have taken advantage of the law which requires the gove einment printing oflice to sell at cost all of the publications issucd by the government. This list of pub- lications covers a wide range of sub jects, and many valuable books are issued at a remarkable small cost. Among other things, scores ol legal wolks relating to federal court practices, dealing with federal laws, opinions of the federal courts and constitutional questions, are pub= lithed at the big government prin- tery. 7They are bound in paper, and tlie most expensive work rarely costs over 20 cents. The general public is not familiar with the law requiring that these government publications shall be digtributed at cost, and, singularly enough, comparatively few lawyers throughout the country are aware of this provision. The book brokers have capitalized the ignorance of the public, more es- pecially the lawyers, who are anx- icus to stock their law libraries with the latest works issued by the gov- ernment, The brokers secure from the gov- ernment printing office bullcting of the late publications. Then they circularize the country with their “bargaing” in books. Ior the sum o? one dollar, they will send to any o-ldress, postpaid, the United States bankruptey laws, or the offlicial edi- tion of the New Rulcs of Practice the Courts of Equity of the United States, as promulgated bythe United States Supreme Court; for filty cents they will send an indexed pocket cdition of (he United States cousti- tution, or for $5 they will send that most valuable publication—-the In- dian Hand Dook, an encyclopedia of Indian affairs, The prices seem alluring the They jun at the *“bargains,” and thoy et what they pay for, and get it without delay. Few of the buyers cover that they been “stuns,” and more often than not they have boosted the ganmie of the Woohington book brok The extent of the ! profits will be appreciated when it is un- derstool that the United & Bankruptey Laws may be pur postpaid, direetly frem the govern- ment printing oflice for 20 couts; that the New Rules of Practice in the Courts of Equityof the United States may be had at the printing oflice for 10 cents, and t! like amount the pocket edi indexed constitution may teined.
