cost of establishing a printing plant
sufficient to do the work of the state,
is so great until printers refuse to bid
on such contracts when limited to only
two years. In my biennial message
to the legislature 1 invited attention to
the fact that former administrations
had required the bidders, in bidding
for state printing, to accompany their
bids with a certified check for ten
thousand dollars for a certain class of
work, and twenty-five hundred dol
lars for another class. The effect of
this was to shut off competition. cost
ing the state thereby, in my judgment,
fully 33 1-3 to 40 per cent more, every
two years, than the same should cost.
AS the state printing aggregates fully
SIS, 900 for two years, and is steadily
increasing, this prerequisite to bid
ding on contracts has cost the state
during the four years Of an admins
tration between $4,000 and $4,000. A
printer might be able to give bond,
yet be unable to give certified check
for as much as 10000
It is recommended that an act be
passed prohibiting the board of COM
missioners of state institutions from
requiring a certified check of more
than one thousand dollars to accom-
pany a bid on any class of state print
ing. This board consists of the gov
ernor and all the members of the cabi-
net. The present contract for state
printing was let under the conditions
requiring the bidder to accompany his
bid with a certified check of $1,000
for each class. A comparison of the
bids received under this contract and
under the former bids will show as
much saving as is above referred to.
Very respectfully,
ALBERT w. GILCHRIST,
Governor.

Constitutional Amendments.
Section l, Article XVII of the Con-
stitutional of Florida provides for the
publication of proposed constitutional
amendments for three months" 1t is
recommended that the constitution be
changed by striking out three" and
inserting one Such a proposed
amendment was defeated once, be-
cause on account of the manner in
which such amendments are printed
the electors could not segregate one
from another. Those in favor of a
particular amendment, vote for all in
order to be sure to have it passed,
whilst others vote against all. I have
recommended that an act be passed
providing for the publication Of a short
statement showing the effect of a pro-
posed amendment. In this instance the
effect would be substituting "one"
month instead of three" If this
amendment were adopted, the cost of
advertising the proposed constitutional
amendments would be one third of
what it is now. BY enacting the law
providing for the publication of the
effect of the amendment, the people
would have better conception of the
erect of the amendment if the same
were published one hundred years. Ow-
ing TO the number of amendments to
the constitution, some consider it nee
essary that constitutional convention
be called. Your attention is invited to
the TACT that many bills were intro
duced in the Legislature of 1907 for
the revision of the statutes of 1906.
IL Is needless to state that many bills
nave been introduced in the present
legislature for the revision of various
sections of such statutes. 1t is safe to
say that If a constitutional convention
mad assembled last year, there would
be introduced at this section as many
proposed amendments to the same as
there are introduced during this ses-
sion to the present constitution.
1t is recommended that a law be
passed paying justices of the peace sal
aries in certain districts having a
population exceeding so much. All fees

tempted to have been conveyed and a
fair and satisfactory consideration
had been paid, still on account of the
omission of one of these words, by the
decision of the supreme court, due

also guaranteed by the constitution.
Their are many deeds now being exc

words is omitted. Nothing prevents
the settlement of any community more
than a dispute as to titles. In order
to prevent any more miscarriage of
justice in the acknowledgement of
deeds, it is recommended that this
section be amended by inserting the
words the foregoing is directory"
This will absolutely prevent any future
decisions along this line. In my judg-
ment, this is one of the most impor-
tant pieces of legislation which could
possibly be enacted. Such legislation
would protect the homes of thousands
of people in the state. 1t would be
