Public Printing uId ESindiDg---An Ohcr

The legislature, we observe, has annuIIed the
contract entered into between the secretary oil
state and Walters and Weber, to do the public
binding, and have ordered the work to DO let to
the lowest bidder, The reasons assigned for this
proceeding are, that the contract was entered IN
10 ILLEGALLY, and that the prices were too high.
As tic contract between the same parties Tor
printing and binding the Revised Laws was en-
tered into At the same time, we presume that can
&c annulel on the same ground, and II It can, VIC
certainly think it ought to be- The prices allow
ed are 30 beyond oil reason, that our legislature
would be justly chargcable with gross negligence
Of the public interest, if they suffered them to be
pail. Walters aud Weber by this contract get
about 1926 per copy for printing aud binding
10000 copies of the Revised Laws, estimated to
make 1000 pages. Now, We are no, candidates
for public printer, and would not take the office If
offered us; but if the state will give us the naked
lob Of printing and binding these laws, We will
oJlisa,e ourselves, provided they DO not exceed
1900 pages, sic and type Of Gales Statutes to
print, bind, and deliver to the state, within ono
year from the time we commence he work, 10000
copies Of the Revised Laws, on as good paper and
in as good style as scammon's Reports or Gale, at
one dolar and tiny cts. acopg in cash. Ifpaid in
warrants, we would, Of course, wan. ten OF fifteen
per cent. more. This is no, intended for u mere
bhtSier. We have done work before now--we
have been employed at printing books since we
were boys-and know eraciiy what we are offer
ing to do. II the legislature suffer more 10 be
paid than our offer contemplate, the members
would not be guilty Of more iuexcusabIc proiliga'

wards beneficial. But let him be releas-
cd by legislative enactment, and he be-
comes idle, inactive, and if again involv-
ed, calls upon the government to help
him, instead Of making use of the means

All these laws are to certain ex,en,

Salaries Ofthe Luslgcs,

We have been favored by friend with manu-.
script copy of the answer of the supreme court
judges to the resolution of the legislature asking
them to submit to reduction Of their salaries,
and take the earliest opportunity to lay it before
our readers. The judges appear to incline strong
ly to the opinion that the public interests would
be best subserved if the Legislature minded their
own business and let other folks alone.
While we see and regret in common
with the members of the two houses of
the general assembly, the embarrassed
condition of the finances of the state, and
would, if in our power, most cordially CO.
operate with them, in promoting any Just
and reasonable measure, which might be
calculated in It's effects, TO accomplish so
desirable a result as that which seems to
be contemplated by your resolutions,
we nevertheless believe that our salaries
as now established by law, and the con-
stiution are not more than adequate to the
labor we perform, and as the sums which
would be saved to the people, would be
too inconsiderable in amount to effect any
valuable purpose in answering the large
demands, which in various other WAYS
may be made upon the treasury, thai,
public justice and public expedency
do not demand such sacrifve at
our hands, and that it is a duty we owe
to ourselves and the stations we occupy,
as a coordinate and independent depart
ment of the government, respectfully to
decline compliance with your request.
In regard to the amount of our compen-
sation, it will be seen by an examination
and comparison Of the constitutions and
laws of our sister states with our own,
that the judges in but few if any of the
states, perform as much service in cores
ponding stations as in this state. And
that there is no state in the Union, with
the same number of counties and popula-
ton, and with the like exten, of territory,
where the judicial department is maintain
ed at so small an expense to the people.

Correspondence OF the Free Trader.

WAsnINGToN, Dec Both, 1914
Gentlemen: have forwarded you
copy of every public document printed,
at this session, and have notified you Of
the passage of two important bills (provi-
ding for one day elections and re-cnacling
the sub treasury bilD through the house.
Beyond this, there has been nothing of
interest to communicate unless indulge
in rumors, probabilities. SC &c, such as
make up the mass of the matter in Wash
ington letters.
There was, al one time, some prospect
of difficulty with Mexico, but it seems
to have blown over, and Mexican war
is no longer talked of. The installmen,
due our government, has not yet been
paid, but the internal difficulties, the pro-
babe overthrow of Santa Anna, incline
our people to show her little leniiy.
AS to her declaring war against us and as
Ia her overrunning Texas with an inva-
ding army, it is looked upon as mere talk F!
Tho democrats have chosen commit
tee, coming from all quarters of the Union,
to agree upon compromise proposition
for the annexation of Texas. Every dem
ocrat is in favor Of annexation, but there
is great diversity of opinion as to the
means thereof. | DO no, think that any
plan has been proposed yet that will unite
majority but ,hnk Mr.. Douglass
proposition will unite more than any yet
presented. After the holydays which ter
inmate after the 9Th prox. think the sub
ject will be taken up. and then we may
expect very animated and angry debate,
involving the whole subject Of slavery.
What will be done in relation TO Ore.

SPnINGFIELn. Jan u. 1915,

The Chicago court bill has occupied a
portion OF the time Of the senate during
the last week. The wings and those OPP
posed to the present Judiciary system, op,
posed the bill, The vote was a very close
one. The bill was in fact defeated, but
was again revived, and will in the end pro-
badly pass the senate. There has been a
majority in the senate in favor of rcorga-
nlzlng the present judiciary system. But,
on taking the final vote, several changed
their positions, and this secured a major
lily in favor of keeping the system as it is.
This undoubtedly will be the better plan,
until the convention 70! amending the
constitution is called.
A militia bill has passed the senate, re-
curing every man TO shoulder arms -
"Iorward march'---"rght wheel"--"take
aim'-"make ready'-"shute." This
is regarded as very important bill by its
friends. 1t requires every man to arm
and equip himself, and train two DAYS in
the year, or pay fine of SO. The peo-
pie are too poor to raise 100000 to pay
interest upon the public debt, and secure
the completion Of the canal and save the
credit Of the state; but they can spend
five times that 10 support the glory of a
ebay foot, straw foot militia, who will
learn about as much Of the science of war
as a monkey would of moral philosophy
But this is a great state, and we are great
people--renowued for our lofty deeds and
chivaIric bearing--"IHulta CT pr&cldro
miaGntiS.
A bill has passed the senate reducing
the tate OF interest to six per cent. 1t i;
intended to help the poor man, but the
operation Of it will probably be 10 make
his condition much worse. If a man ear
afford TO pay greater rate Of interest, il
is right that he should have the privilege
II money is not worth more than six pei
cent, it is very certain that it will not be
loaned at 4 greater rate. These things
would, if let alone, be much better settled
between The contracting parties.
A bill has also been under discussion il
both houses, combining Justices and con
stables jurisdiction to their own precincts

There seems to be a growing feeling il
