State Treasurer.


Hon. George A. Steel treasurer of
the state of Oregon, who is serving
his first term, has, from the day he
took over the treasury department,
made every effort TO make the de-
partment a profitable one for the
state, and In his efforts, though for
time handicapped, he has made a
success of which his friends and sup
porters are justly proud. His bien-
nial report to the legislature. Just
Issued, shows some interesting data
which, when carefully considered by
the people of the state, will bring
him the warm admiration of the peo-
pie of Oregon without regard to po-
litical affiliation. Oregon has no
state debt and during the past two
years, since Mr.. Steel became treas
urer, every warrant drawn on the
department has been promptly paid,
and not a warrant is now outstand-
ing, while there Is enough actual
cash on hand to meet every warrant
that may be drawn under appropria-
tions already made. The entire prin-
cipal of the common school, the Ag-
ricultural College. and the State Uni
versity funds Is drawing interest, and
the common school fund Is growing
at a rapid rate, so that the income
from this fund will show much larg-
er distribution among the schools of
the state in coming years. Through
the closing of some of the state de-
positorles a year ago. some of the
school funds we're tied up, but this

justed and the state funds have 9th
er been paid to the treasurer or are
secured and drawing a good rate OF
interest so that instead OF the state
being the loser i'm this connection II
viii be the gamer I'm the interest
received on the funds. Upon request
Of. the state treasurer the attorney
general has brought a test suit for
the collection OF licenses from the
delinquent public service corpora
tions In the state which have thus
far refused 90 pay these licenses on
their business, and the state treas
urer hopes through this means to
add materially 10 the income OF the
state from these sources In accord
ance with the initiative law of 1906
providing for these license payments.
Under an existing law, the state
treasurer Is the sealer OF weights and
measures, and is the custodian of
the standard weights and measures
furnished by the United States gov
ernment. which are the public stand
ards OF this state. There Is, however
no provision In the law whereby the
Weights and measures used through
out the state may be inspected and
tested Mr.. Steel therefore recon-
mends such legislation as shall pro-
vide for the rigid inspection OF all
weights and measures used In the
state, and that, so far as possible
such legislation be made uniform
with that OF other states with which
this state holds commercial inter
course. Action by the legislature
upon this recommendation OF the
state treasurer will be OF great bene-
ut TO the people OF this state.

and the state is a large gamer by
his close attention to business and
his strict compliance with his pledges
made when he was a candidate for
election two years ago. At that time
Mr. Duniway pledged himself to
strict economy in the conduct of the
states business in case he should
be elected, and it was on these
pledges that he received the nomina-
ton and election. The people knew
that Mr. Duniway made no idle prom
ises and this faith in him has not
been misplaced, as the record of the
office shows.
In the printing of official reports.
briefs, blanks, for the various state
departments, and in fast all printed
matter, great expense can be added
for the state TO pay, IL the state
printer is willing to make all there
is in it," and large sums of money
are thus paid out for printing Jobs
by the state at times that could be
saved. In this work MIR. Duniway
has at all times kept in mind his
pledges made on the stump, and has
condensed and econOmized for the
state until in some Instances as much
as 90 per cent of the cost of print
ing, as II was formerly done. has
been saved.
Mr. DuhIway gives his personal at
tention to the office. He oversees
every part of the work done, and be-
ing a practical printer himself and
possessed of more than average exec
utive ability, he has brought system
into the office that in itself has done
much toward reducing the cost OF
printing TO the state. He has equip
ped the office entirely new with the
latest labor saving machinery known
to the craft, and his equipment will
compare favorably with that OF any
large printing office in the North
west.
With the record made during the
first two years of his management
OF the office and with the experience
gained in that department, Mr.. Duni-
way bids fair to make a greater
showing of economy in the next two
years, and the taxpayers will have
no cause to regret the election OF
this excellent gentleman TO the Of
flee of state printer when the whole
record is placed before them.
