THE PUBLIC PRINTING,


The public pr nting Of this State
costs considerable money, and
Judging from the zeal of publishers
to obtain the office Of public prin-
ter and to make the necessary out
lay for the equipping m office to
do the work with an uncertain ten
ure of Office, there must be good
profits in the business. As we
have never made an investigation
as to the profits of the public prin-
ter we are not prepared to say that
it is very lucrative, but it is GER
tainly not a bad business. Two
years ago we advocated making
the public printer elective or the
work put out by contract to the
lowest bidder. That would be de
cidedly preferable to the present
mannerof electing a public printer
by the Legislature, and paying him
80 much per page for the bulk of
the printing as now provided by
law. But a still better plan would
be for the State to own a we'll
equipped job office, and then let
the public printer be elected to
superintend the work under bond
and under the supervision of the
Legislature. 1t should be a State
institution, owned and operated by
the State for its official printing.
Such publications as are ordered to
be made in a newspaper should be
put out to the lowest and best bid
der, requiring from each bidder a
guarantee of a certain circulation
within the State, the successful
bidder to be the official journal of
the State only as a publisher by
contract of official documents.
The first advantage in this would
be that of economy in the State
printing, both in job work and
publications, only such force being /
employed in the job office as would 1
De necessary to do the work in I
land. Another advantage would 8
)e in the superior quality of work, =
he public printer having excel q
of execution in view instead II
f margins of profits on shoddy c
york. The State could also have b
very much larger amount of b
'Ork done at much less average -
Ost, actual expense being the only II
0nsideration. c,
Another matter Of Importance IL
which the press feels an interest d
the matter of competition with ~
le public printer under the pres IL
arrangement. The public prin- tn
r is enabled to successfully com CT
tie with and underbid other Of to
res in the State by reason of his u
opposed superior equipments, and r..
e large profits of the States pa br
mage. 1t is equivalent to the if
mpetition Of public with private of
dustry, and being unnecessary is Il"
and unfair. ..
BY all means, the State ought to
n and operate a job office sep
and apart from the official
lrnal. The official journal should
that position only as the at
vest bidder, and contractor for tn,
tie publications, giving all the ties
circulated papers of the cas-
tie an opportunity to contest for me
honor and profits from time to gre
by which means the work ne.
Id be done much cheaper than
