Public Printing.


There has been some remarks
about the public printing, and per,
haps some thinking that has not been
registered. Newspapers in the past
have been free to say ulkind things
of the Register in reference to the
printing. Now there has been some
talk. or hint, or insinuation about the
State newspaper, bat that paper gives
the brt thrtn notice to stop.
Speaking for oursclf. we believe
the Office Of Public Printer Is Il lc-
sitimate ouc-inst rs much as any
other Cffice. We believe that Il fair
price should be established for the
work, and then the printer should be
clcct' d by the Legislature.
There are mauy considerations out
side Of chcappess. The printer is,
perhaps, the most important officer
rf tie Legislature. If he 80 wills
he may, by neglccting or delaying
the printing, defeat the will OF the
Legislature. The printer ought to
be elected by the faction i'll power.
This refers to the daily wolk while
the Legislation is i'll session.
The permanent work, or the reports
of the different State officers, might
be given out TO the lowest rcsponsi.
bic bidder
We don't let out the collection Of
taxes to the lowest bidder, but We
pay fair price for the work.
As we'll as we understand the mat
ter, the plice now paid for The print
irg is low enough, and we do not
envy any man the Job. We wouldn t
undertake the wOlk. if it were OF
fcrel TO us.
