The governors communication was
as follows.
TO the Members of the House of Repre-
sentatives:
luton passed by the commissioners OF
public printing at Il meeting held by
them January %. 1913:
Moved by Mr.. Olson that the attention
OF the governor be called to the fact that
VIC have been asked to advance the sew
enty five per cent. allowed BY law on
estimated work completed II in course
of completion for the Thirteenth Legisla-
tive assembly. and in view OF the fact
that the printer estimates that he has
completed and in process Of completion
to exceed 500 100. worth Of legislative
printing, lAis commission believes that it
will be wise II the governor will call the
attention of the house and senate to this
fact, with the end In view that a commit
tee may be appointed to investigate and
decide what If any cut could be made in
the printing now being ordered; the idea
being to reduce the expense of unnccessa-

ton on being put to n vote was declared
Carried, all members voting Aye
| would respectfully suggest to the
senate and hous that a joint committee
be named to confer with the governor
and commissioners of public printing to
see II some way cannot be devised by
which this very large expenditure for
Legislative printing can be cut down. The
session of the legislature is only one
third through and If 1t has cost us more
than 5000 for the first twenty days Of
the session. it will be readily seen that
II will cose US thirty to t%hirty-flve thou
sand for legislative printing by the time
the session is over. which would be an
average of more than $500 per day
On motion of Senator Talcott the

ton to the couse and also the commit
tee. Secretary Austin announced the
same would be done, and the president
appointed Senators Nelson, Hanley
and Gilbert as such commlltee.
Senator Mcdowell rose and said
that it would probably well to take
some action regarding the saving OF
postage. He said that only a few days
ago there had been some controversy
relative to postage used by the indi-
vidual members but that he had since
learned that the postage used by the
members of the senate and house to"
gether only amounted to about $500
for the entire session., while some
thing like $3.50 a day vas being used
to mali, out bills and journals and he
thought 1t timely that that item also
be considered.
The roll call found only Senators
Davis, Nudgett, Mcbride, and Warner
absent, and on motion they were all
excused. .-' s''

Concurrent Resolution
Introduced by Mr.. Vail. p
Whereas, it is a well established and
well known fact. that large industriar en-
tcrpriscs have found it not only FEAST
bic, but q matter Of good business econ.'
omy to carry their own insurance against
