Whatever of steal" or donation" there is
in this appropriation comes from tie continu-
ance of provision for printing the laws that
later conditions have made obsolete. When
the law was enacted there were no such things
as ready-print houses or patent insides, and
every paper was supposed to set up the matter
in Its own office, and the price fixed was only
a reasonable compensation. But progress In
method has outpaced progress in legislation,
and it is true that what costs the state SAC, 900
