our candid opinion that if the Govern.

the Constitution now before the peopIa

creased, and now, after . most thorough
and careful examination Of the sueiect We
are prepared to- assert that our taxes Tor

The following is our estimate OF the ex.,
penses Of q State Government: SOlarlet
including per diem Of membets OF the
Legislature, $6s, 500; State officers, con.
ringent expenses-O Office rent, clerk hire,
etc., S26,600 expenses Of LegislAtare,
10000; State printing, $40, 900 /; mile
tary purposes, $4,000; private claims,
bills. etc., $l6, 900. Total $210, 800: 80
The above estimate was made with
most liberal allowance for contingencies
penses, and we. are inclined TO believe that
the actual expenses of the State Govern.
ment will fall short of our, calculation.
Now, let US see how our actual Territorial
expenses compare with the abnre, and We
viii here state thatthe expenses Tepresent-.
ed by the following figures are solid. pn--
deniable facts, and not mere estimates: !
The actual cost Of supporting the Terri.
torial government for the last year, o. per
Auditor's account, was 1s8.2l8 OA i.add
military account Is above, which must be
paid whether we have a State or NOT,
$50, 900; add averaged increased indebt-
edness yearly, $50, and you have
$223,2I8 04, making palpable fdif-
ference in favor of State government OF
lust $l2,9l8 o.. Suppose we balance
ACCOUNTS and then add $4,000 more to
the estimated expenses Of the State gov.
ernment, even then the trade would be
good one. We have estimated the con.
tingent expenses much higher than they
have actually been under the Territorial
government; for instance, we have esti-
mated the State Prison expenses at $2o..
900 per annurn, whereas the actual cost OF.
supporting that institution last year iwas
only SlO,07l 36. We request of our
readers that they will read the Constitu-
ton carefully, examine these figures, and
then vote in accordance with the dictates
of their con5ciences.- Auror6 Usio1. "
