ing Railroads and Canals This is new
move to kin OFF the Western land grabhers in

not going to buy them on any terms while
they can play the game of helping themselves

Tax PAYERS READ-In regard to the printing
contract the Journal is equally unfortunate. The
editor OF that paper voted for it and the same was
let out by Governor Bigler. The people will find
out next winter that the passage of the law under
which the Broderck bogusites are now operating.
will have largely increased the aggregate cost OF
printing and that the pretended reform is all tci
dal.-It and Transcript
The memory of our cotemporary must be in a
very imperative condition. The editor of this pa
per never voted for any printing contract The
difference between the law under which that Jour
nal did the State work, ard the present one will be
seen from the following figures:
Under the old printing law, 10000 for.
elgn miners licenses cost, as appears by
the Controllers report, S2,932 90
1hls year the same number COST lao 0O
Which is saving ON this item Of l.462 90
Or saving to the State of nearly one hundred
per cent.
In 1852, seven hundred and twenty
copies of the laws in blue paper covcrS cost 63o2 As
This year under the new law twelve
hundred and twenty copies or seventy per
cent more, full bound, cost the State, 4S7S 20
This gave the State nearly double the
number Of copies full bound, at saving
over the old contract of 1924 Is
Had the 1920 copies of the Statutes Of this year
been printed under the old contract, the mere fold
ing and stitching and binding in paper covers,
would have cost S4.l02 25
All Of which charge has been abolished by the
present law.
he Controllers report of 1858, shows the print
ing of the fiscal year, ending on the 30th uf June
last, to have cost slS5,532 ~.
The printing for the present fiscal year, under
the new contract, cannot exceed $50 uO0, which
will BIZ IL difference IN tauor of the State of Sl35-
500. This may be fai dat, but it will be a greai
benefit to the people, Stdtc Journal.
Yes and Senators Keene and Hook steadily and
without fatering opposed the revision of the law
providing for State printing; opposed it to the last
gasp; opposed an improvement saving to the State
sl35O0O at least giving at the same time double
nearly. the work in volumes Of laws and journals
to the people, and saving to the State annually
