ilege of operating the office and that
Mr.. Duniway refused the offer. And
we have It from the same source that
the state printers compensation was
at least until recently, greater than
the salaries of the governor secre-
tary Of state, state treasurer, labor
commissioner, superintendent Of pub
lie instruction, all tllo judges Of the
supreme court and members Of the
railroad commission combined, And
this in return for the management Of
a medium-sized printing office and
for providing the material for doing
the work
According to the figures Of State
Printing Expert Harris, the initiative
pamphlet recently printed netted Mr..
Duniway between $4,000 and $4,000 for
presswork alone over commercial
rates, and the work was done outside
of the state printing office. Mr.. Har-
ris' figures are conservative in the
extreme; is It surprising therefore
that the state printer spent hundreds
of dollars in the same pamphlet for
an argument against the flat-salary
bill? The taxpayers paid for that ar
gument to continue a system which
would take thousands more from their
pockets in the next two years under
the present law
1t is very safe to assume that Mr..
Duniway is fighting so strenuously to
protect no one but himself. The voter
has his choice in November; be may
vote for the flat salary bill and effect
a large saving to the state, or he may
vote to continue the present system,
and lend his aid to the unnecessary
spending Of the large amount 1t per-
mits, ARTHUR G. SELLERS.

Ed Journal Articles bearing a Sa-
lem date line and purporting to be
news matter, have been appearing in
Portland evening paper recently,
attacking the state printer flat sal
ary bill. They are shrewdly written,
and bear the earmarks of the handi-
work of the beneficiary of the pres
ent corrupt system, Willis s. Duni.
way
The general public knows little of
matters printorial Many people even
believe that the office is now on a
flat salary. For the benefit IL the
uniformed and in justice to those
who were responsible for the initia-
tion of the bill, few words of ex-
PLANTATION are necessary.
For several years a large number
OF citizens have been urging the flat
salary system. Several Of them are
former employees of the office, under
Mr.. Duniway and his predecessors
These men know approximately how
much the states printing costs, and
how great sum is handed over to
each succeeding holder OF the office
They know beyond dispute that the
system is extravagant and the profits
II the state printer are out of all pro-
portion to the services he renders.
This year, after the legislature had
passed the Miller bill to take effect in
1915, a movement was started to
amend 1t to read instead, December
l, 1912. This is all the citizens are
to vote upon; the bill is already
law All that the November election
VIII decide Is whether the present
system will exist for two more years.
Mr. Duniway is not to be recalled or
legislated out of office; II simply
charges his compensation from the
$4,000 1t is admitted he gets annually
or the $4,000 he is said to receive,
to flat salary of $4,000 year.
Realizing that his chances of de-
feating the amendment were very
slim If the bill went before the peo-
pie on its merits Mr.. Dunlway has
dragged the typographical union bug
aboo into the limelight and made It
his principal argument for the defeat
OF the measure, hoping thereby to Sc
cure the votes of the element opposd
to or unfamiliar with unionlsm.
The typographical union has no Sc
cret or unlawful interest in the mea-
sure's success. The members believe
that by virtue of their calling they
are more familiar with the matter than
the average citizen. Most of them are
homeowners and taxpayers. They
have seen the evil and extravaganza
of the existing system when other
citizens were not in a position to. and
as any civic organization would do in
the same position have dared to fight
and expose It.
OF the merits of the Miller bill and
of the demerits Of the present system
much might be said If space allowed.
Suffice 1t to say, the flat salary If eco
administered, will save the
state at least one-third Of its biennial
printing appropriation.
The exact amount of net profit of
he office each year is a matter of
ipeculation, as It is difficult to obtain
'orrect figures on that point We
'now what Mr. Duniway receives, as
he sums spent for printing are q.
natter of public record. His expenses
re not made public, however, as the
aw simply turns over a certain sum
0 him for the work. It has been
uthoritatlvely stated, however, that
former state printer offered him the
um Of $4,000 year for the priv

DOWN THE SILETZ IN A FLATBOAT

Climbing on to this bridge, we found
It pretty shaky, but, as evidenced by
the well-worn path leading up to it,
1t was strong and durable, neverthe-
less. At noon this day we lunched
on fish caught en- route, the largest
Of these being about sixteen inches
long. Just after lunch, the writer,
after a pretty fight with a salmon
trout, succeeded in landing him.
During the afternoon we passed
several streams, all giving evidence
of being alive with fish. Ducks were
flying up and Gown stream overhead,
and the sportsmen Of the party gave
evidence of his presence by fusilades,
which awakened the countryside to
danger but not a feather did he get
Later, however, he was in at the kill
Ing Of bear, which greatly enllvened
his fallen spirits. We travelled on
until late In the day, hoping to reach
barn full of fresh hay which we
had been told about, but at dusk gave
up this hope, for soon It became so
dark that we could not see to guide
our craft, and were in danger Of be-
ing swamped At one place our craft
was swung by the river current under
q projecting log, which swept away
a lot Of our fishing tackle. The writer
saved himself from harm by lying
down in the bottom Of the boat re-
ceiving nothing worse than a scratch
on the nose. The rest of the party
by hook and by crook, and a great
deal of suddenly developed activity,
escaped unharmed. Our hunter above
mentioned Jared the worst being
thrown out of the craft, but we pulled
him in again as the barge scurried
along We had gone some hundred
yards or more before the young
hunter knew %where he was at!
That night we sat up late in an
attempt to induce slumber sufficient
ly powerful to overcome the effects
of the beds of gravel we had pre-
empted. We succeeded only indlffer-
emily, however, and next morning
early embarked again, We soon found
we did well in giving up hopes of
reaching the barn, as we did not
reach this haven until noon. Side
streams appeared to have enlarged
the river; 1t was swlfter and required
much care to save ourselves from be-
ing spilled into the water Most of
us had more or less Of a wetting,
being obliged to- get out and aid in
the steering of the craft from the out
side at various places Of apparent
danger, and were rather glad to do so.

Assemblyman. Issac Smick, the Dem.
ocrat who was elected last year and
made a GOOD record in the Legislature D.,
lie a Cal l:date for reelection. If ell c.
ted he will have a vote to elect Honor
able William Hughes to U. S. Senate,
succeed Frank O. Briggs. Mr.. Hughes
voted in lie last session of Congress for
the reform measures vetoed by Presi-
dent Taft. MI. Briggs is a part of the
stand-pat machine which has brought
on the political ills of the nation and
represents corporation interest rather
than the people. A vote for Smick is a
vote to put HngheS in Briggs place,
also a vote to continue making reforms
in New Jersey.
