Dear Sir: Referring to proposed Con-
stitutiOnaI Amendment No. 4 would say,
As state expert printer have given the
publications involved In this proposed
amendment special thought. and am of
opinion both these publications are en-
tirely superflu0us. The extensive an
nual publication gin a daily newspaper
published at the capital city" attracts
absolutely no attention. The annual re-
port of the state treasurer IL published
in book form, and to an extent that
makes 1T easy for every person special
ly concerned to secure u copy. To con-
form strictly with the law a. 1t 10 ut
present, means the expenditure, under
reasonably favorable printing contracts,
Of approximately $4,000, a sum which
can be used to excellent advantage un.
der conditions which ordinarily suxxest
the greatest care and economy upon the
part Of those under whose direction the
printing fund In expended.
Yours respectfully,
J. T. MANNIX,
State Expert Printer.
