The State Printing,

We find the following statement in the
AAa of Feb 10th. Much has been said
of economy, and certainly no where has
the money been spent more foolishly than
in getting this kind of work done. The
prices at which it has hitherto been done
have been immensely high-even much
higher than the printing establishments all
over the state do mere transient work for;
notwithstanding any of them, if contract.
ing for large amounts, would do the same
amount for little over one-half. We com.
mend the Aha's proposition to the faithful
consideration Of the legislature, and we
have right to hope that no whig at least
will give his vote to sanction such extray-
agance. The Aka is not alone in thei,
willingness to do the work at the rates pro.
posed by them.
"lt was contended in the debate in the
Senate on the Printing Bill, by different
champions of reform and economy, and es-
pecially by the Senator from San JOAQUIN,
that the present rates for printing were
not too high. The bill, as introduced bv
Mr. Colby, proposes reduction of about
nifty per cent. on the present rates and
that we may not be accused of speaking
tor effect, merely we hereby offer and en-
gage to do all the printing required by the
State, for the next year, at rates twenty.
hive per cent. less THAI those fixed by Mr.
Colby's BILL This would reduce the cost
of printing to thirty.seven per cent. of the
prices now paid, and we have no hesitation
in saying that if the printing was done by
US there would not be one.half the work
ordered that there will be if the present
system is continued. The whole amount
saved, therefore, would be 80 per cent. of
the gross sum now paid. We are aware
that our chance Of getting into heaven is
much greater than of getting the state
printing, and we make the offer only to
defy those who profess economy with their
tongues while they are stealing with their
fingers. The following are the rates pro.
posed by Mr.. Colby's bill, and to each item
we have carried out in figures the price at
which we are willing to do the same work.
Let the friends Of economy come up then,
and, while they serve the state, give the
Alta California an opportunity to assist
them in their good work. !
