State Measures on Ballot-A r tide No. 18
Flat Salary Bill for State Printer Arouses Bitter Controversy; Features
of Measure.
-On what Is generally known as the
"flat salary bill" for the state printer
is being waged one of the bitterest
battles, of the present campaign. The
investigator fjnds conflicting statements
as to facts and a cloud of personal con
troversies forming part of the problem,,
The bill Itself consists of only four
lines, providing that the "flat salary
bill" passed by the last legislature shaM
go Into effect on December 1, 1912. If
this bill Is not passed,' the measure-Will
go Into effect on January 1, 1916, the
legislature expressly providing that It
should not become- operative until - the
expiration of the term of the present
state printer, Willis S. Duniway.
, Thus the specific question presented
to the voters Is whether or not the flat
salary Idea shall become lawiliicxt De
cember or be postponed until Iar5, after
Mr. Dunlway's present term expires. Mr.
Duniway and other ltadlns opponents
Insist that the merits of the bill must
be considered to decide not only whether
it should be made effective In December,
but whether it should go Into effect at
all.
Xiong -Drawa-Out Controversy.
It may, therefore, be Inferred that
If the people reject the bill now pre
sented, the issue will be carried into
the next legislature in an effort to re
peal the bill already passed. The sub
ject has been a matter of controversy
at every recent session of tho legisla
ture, and the flat alary measure was
only carried at the 1911 session by the
personal influence of Governor West.
That bill was, amended, against the
governor's protest, to postpone the time
of operation until the end of Dunlway's
term. The governor thereafter was in
strumental in tho movement under
which the bill was Initiated to put the
flat salary idea into effect immediately
after the November election.
Before discussing the bill on Its mer
its, tlie question ef giving it immediate
effect may be considered. It la argued
by those opposing the bill that this
proposal, aside from the merits of the
measure, is unjust to Mr. Duniway, as it
would decrease the compensation during
the term for which he was elected. It
is pointed out that In the primary cam
paign of 1910 Duniway defeated an
avowed advocate of flat salary, and at
the November election that year again
defeated a flat salary advocate, thereby
overcoming any presumption that the
people were anxious tp make any change
in the state printing business. Having
been elected in these circumstances, It is
urged, Duniway should not bo disturbed
during his term by changing his com
pensation and by Instituting a new sys
tem under wUich the state printing
board, provided for in the bill, would
take charge over the head or an orricer
elected by the people.
These were the arguments which were
used in the "legislature and caused that
body to provide that the bill It passed
should not become effective during the
term of the present state printer.
Printer Has Eaa Time.
On the other hand, It is argued that
Duniway has h:d full notice of what
was coming, because a fight for flat sal
ary has been part of every legislative
program, and that after having deter
mined what policy the state should pur
sue, the people are not bound to consider
Ballot - Article No. 8
tendency to bring better prices for pa
per of the water department. For that
reason the board recommends the adop
tion of the measure.
The proposed amendment does not
provide for any additional taxation or
expense of any kind for taxpayers an-i
may be the means of bringing more
money into the city treasury by reason
of possible higher prices being quoted
for water bonds. There Is apparently
no ground for objection to the amend
ment, other than that It does not seem
to be necessary. In view of the fact
that the city attorney has held that th
wateT bonds are now backed by the ctty;

the Interest of an Individual, whether an
office holder or otherwise. It is con
tended that the profits of the office are
unduly large, and that the sooner the
present system is, ended, the better.
Turning to the bill itself, , as passed
by the .last legislature, its chief pro
visions are:
It creates a state prlntirig board, con
sisting of the governor, secretary of
state and state treasurer, to have gen
eral supervision of the printing office.
This board ts1 to appoint a "practical
printer" of at least five years' . experi
ence,, as Its secretary, at a salary of
$2000 per year, who is to devote his
.entire time to the work.
Provides . for a state printer, to be
elected by the people, for a four year
term, as at present, he to have had
at least 10 years' experience, to give a
bond for $10,000. He is to receive a
saluty of 1000 a year, with charge and
control of the state printing plant "sub
ject to the supervisory., authority vested
in the state printing board and other
limitations provided by law."
Wage Provision.
Provides state printer shall employ
and discharge the labor needed and con
tract for employes at the "rate paid
by printing establishments generally
throughout the state of Oregon for sim
ilar services " paying no higher rate, ex
cept upon obtaining permission from the
printing board.
It Is made the duty of the printing
board to purchase puper, equipment, sup
plies, machinery and other necessary
materials, purchases'" to be rnde after
advertising for bids, except that the
board, when it deems this advisable,
may buy in the open market. The board
may contract for "binding, ruling, etc.,"
when It considers such action necessary,
or can thereby effect a saving to the
statu.
In emergency, It Is provided, the
board may ordr work done outside the
state plant. 'J'he state printer Is direct
ed to do printing and binding required
for the legislature, supreme court or
state officials or boards, the material
first to be submitted to the secretary
of the board and personally approved by
him.
Work to Be Approved.
Secretary of the board Is to confer
with heads of departments as to work
to be doue. making needed suggestions,
all printing and binding to be approved
by hltn before delivery to state print
er. During present term of Duniway,
secretary of board to perform duties
now performed by the state printing
expert. Secretary of the board also to
direct and prescribe the "style, manner
and materials which shall be used by
the state printer."
The printing board Is authorized to
fix the price of session laws and publlo
documents, and tiie use of the printing
plain for outsiders is prohibited. The
printing board is directed to appraise
the plant of Duniway and purchase it,
If desired, otherwise to purchase in the
open market.' Twenty thousand dollars
is appropriated to carry out the provi
sions of the act.
First of all, the argument for the
flat salary bill rests on tho proposition
that public officials should be salaried,
and the fee system eliminated. In of
fices where fees form part or all of
the compensation there is always more
or less uncertainty in the public mind
as to whether tho official Is not being
overpaid, and things crop up now and
then to indicate that obnormal profits
are being made, although profits in one
place may be balanced In another.
State officers, with the exception of
tho state printer, are now all on a salary
basis. The stato printer furnishes his
own plant and his work is paid for at
rates regulated by tho state by legisla
tive act. For years at succeeding ses
sions of the legislature it lias been
charged that the printer is making ex
cessive profits, that thousands of dol
lars are paid for work not. actuallypex
formed under cover of technical terms
known only to the printing trade,, and
that the state should own and operate
at lowest possible figures a plant that
each year costs such large outlay to the
state.
It is argued, further, that the present
htvr was made to fit conditions of 26
years ago, and the changes made In
1909, whereby rates were revised, were
not adequate. In a pamphlet advocating
the bill now before the voters R. A. Har
ris, the state printing expert, declares
there are many leakages and duplica
tions of work, and alleges that many
thousands of dollars are paid by the
state at full rates for "picked up" com
position! Mr. Harris further says that It is
probable the net profit of the state
printer at the present time la $8000
a year. This estimate does not. differ
greatly from statements made by Mr.
Duniway, who says he is getting from
$7500 to $7800 a year to pay his salary,
to cover wear and tear on the plant
and profit on the plant. , He receives, he
says, an average of 20 per cent return
for his investment, the estimated value
of the -plant beng $20,000. 4
Pursuing this subject of cost a little
further it Is contended by those oppos
ing the bill. that if the state takes over
tho plant It Is unlikely that any saving
could be made in the purchase of ma
chinery, inks, paper and other supplies
over the prices paid by Duniway, who
may be presumed to be operating the
plant as economically as cduld be done
by officials of a state owned plant. If
this bo true the only saving would be
In ..the sum now received by Duniway
as profits, say $7800 a year. As under
thXjflat salary bill a straight salary of
$400 Is provided for the state printer,
$2000" for the secretary of, the board,
and the secretary may have "such cler
ical assistance as may be required," It
Is questioned that any saving at all
would result.
On th contrary, Mr. Duniway asserts,
It would be 'found that two or three
additional .officers would be needed to
attend to all the details of the office,
so in salaries alone the flat salary bill
would . cost the state more than the
money he receives to make up his sal
ary and profits from the privately
flwpsd-iiiant. T;
It will be observed that while under
the bill proposed the present state print
er will continue' In.- office two years,
and hta successor will thereafter be
elected by the people for. a four-year
term, ss at present, the secretary' of
the board is to direct the "stylo, man.
ner and materials which shall be usee!
by,, the stale printer " and the secre
tary must approve all printing end bind-
ing and confer with the heads of de
partments. This paragraph in the bill la bitterly
assailed by Duniway, who protests that
the state printer, elected by the people,
is thus made an underling in the office
subject to the secretary of the board,
who Is not required to give bond, , is
to be appointed by the state board and
is required to have only five years' ex
perience, against the state printer's 10
years. The secretary becomes the really
Important officer.
Friends, of the bill say the secretary
of the'board is made overseer of details
because a loose system has .prevailefl
and orders are given for printing by
state legislators and even clerks, who
ought to be deprived of such privileges!
This bill would place- discretionary au
thority in such matters with the secre
tary' of the board, under .the board's
direction. State Expert Harris has
stated in one argument that he thinks
the next legislature should amend the
bill to make the state printer an ap
pointive officer after the expiration of
Dunlway's term and make him also sec
retary of the board, so all authority
will be vested In one man.
A controversy has arisen between Mr.
Duniway and opponents of I the' bill as
to the effect of the clause requiring' the
state printer to contract for labor. He
sayg this will make It necessary to sign
the union or "closed shop" agreement,
because it is Impossible to contract for
the" labor required wttfi non-union help,
and union njn will not contract Indi
vidually. Ho snys he has several times
turned down the union contract because
It is a contract of unlimited duration
that would bind the state, In tho lan
guage of the contract, to "comply with
all the union's laws now In force or
hereafter adopted."
Duniway says this contract could be
ended only by violating It, and he says
the state should sign no contract carry
ing such an obligation, especially as the
laws of the union are not made by citi
zens of Oregon, but by the International
Typographical union.
In rejoinder to this friends or tne Mil
say there is n sinister consequence
in, the union agreement; that It Is no
more to he feared In a state printing
plant than tn a c-omroerclal plant, and
nearly all commercial printers ha'e
signed It. That any subsequent law of
the international union could change the
essential terms of the agreement is
denied.
The ohjict of leaving the contract un
limited as to time. It Is stated, is that
It may be abrogated with honor at any
time by either partf. The. state Is
obligated to observe the union laws, it
In pointed out, while neinaj the union
label, which Is the only consideration
for the agreement, and no penalty is
attached tn voiding the agreement ex
cept forfeiture of the right to use the
union label. -
Mr. Duniway charges that the object
of the framers of the hill is to make
R. A. Harris, state printing expert, tne
secretary of the state printing board if
the bill Is passed. Harris has been lead
ing the fight for the bill. Harris says
