Dear Sir: Referring to proposed Con-
stftutiOnal Amendment No. would says
AS state expert printer I have given the
publications involved I'm this proposed
amendment special thought, and am of
opinion both these publications are en-
tirely superfluous. The extensive an
nual publication ain a daily newspaper
published at the capital city" attracts
absolutely no attention. The annual re-
port of the state treasurer II published
I'm book form, and to an extent that
makes 1T easy for every person special
~ concerned to secure q copy. To con-
form strictly with the law as 1T Is at
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 suggest
the greatest care and economy upon the
part of those under whose direction the
printing fund Is expended.
Yours respectfully,
