FLAT SALARY BILL.

The flat-salary law so vigorously
opposed by the state printer was
passed by the last legislature. The
initiative act on the ballot (Nos. 32S,
S29) If adopted. merely puts the leg
islature's act into effect two years
earlier than it would take effect by
its own terms.
The measure provides $4,000 n year
for the state printer as fixed sal.
ary He opposes it and is spending
money freely to defeat the initiative
BY his own admissions he receives
twice as much as the salary provided
In the said law.
The undersigned are familiar with
the measure and its history having
worked for its adoption in the legis-
lature and assisted in the initiative
movement to put it into effect at an
earlier date.
1t is our best judgment that the
measure is meritorious and will re-
suit in great saving to the tax
payers of this state.
We therefore advise voters to mark
their ballots S2S y Yes.
