Mr.. Julius A. Schmahl,
Secretary of State.
Dear Sir: Referring to proposed Con-
stitutiOnal Amendment No. A would sage
AS state expert printer 1 have given the
publications involved in this proposed
amendment special Thought, and am Of
opinion both these publications are en-
tfrely superfluOus. The extensive an
nuaI publication Gin a daily newspapers
published at the capital city" attracts
absolutely no attention. The annual re-
port of the state treasurer is published
in book form, and to an extent that
makes it easy for every person special
" concerned to secure copy. TO COM
form strictly with the law as It IL at
Dresent. means the expenditures under
reasonably favorable printing contracts,
Of UNFORTUNATELY $1,000, q sum which
can be used to excellent advantage NM
der conditions which ordinarily suggest
the greatest care and economy upon the
part of those under whose direction the
printing fund ID expended.
Yours respectfully.

mentS of all moneys drawn from the

the treasurer to publish yearly a de-
tailed statement of the moneys drawn
from the treasury during the preceding
year, giving the names of the persons

Quires a like statement of the names

ments were made, OE money paid into
the treasury. The effect OF this amend
ment, if the same be adopted, will be

tiOn mentioned and insofar relieve the
