STATE PRINTER SAYS TAXPAYERS WILL LOSE Harris Blames. Board Majority for What He Calls "Ex orbitant Prices.',!. ,, - ; (Sslem Bureau of Th Journal.) Salem, Or.. Sept. -19. That the tax . payers of the state should not be " mulcted for one to two thousand dol lars in exorbitant prices for nrlntlntr performed after the death of the state , printer, la the etatoment of State Printer Harris, who places the blame upon Treasurer Kay and Secretary Olcott, a majority or, tne printing- board, both for the large amount of work done be fore the state secured control of the plant, and for the ruling that the work should be paid for at old law rates. "The most overcharged of all the pub lic printing Is the election pamphlets and the mass of special work Involving long: runs of presswork following the legislative sessions," says the state printe-. "The plant was in the midst of this work when the office became vacant. The suggestion w made that a temporary lease of the plant be made pending negotiations for its purchase. That such an arrangement could have been made is almost certain, if it could not, then the work should have been completed in the open market. But it was soon announced that Mr. Plimp ton, secretary of the printing hoard, as agent for Mrs. Dunlway, was to complete the work. This work is not completed yet. Presses in the state printing plant are still running on this work, and Mr. Kay and Mr. Olcott tell the taxpayers they must pay for it at the old law rates which are 130 per cent higher than market prices on this par ticular work. "In addition to the work stIM unfin ished in the state plant, the pamphlet for the coming special election is or dered and is to be paid for at old law rates. "The majority members of the print ing board are not sustained bv the onin- lons of the attorney general. He says in his opinion that it is a rule In private business that an uncompleted contract might be completed by an estate on the same terms, but In another part of his opinion he says 'the office, having be come vacant, the act Is in effect in all Its provisions.'- Other able counsel ad vises me that no rule of private contract applies to a public official in this sense. " That the state stands to lose 11600 to fjooo If the ruling of Olcott and Kay is to stand, is the unqualified statement of the Btate printer, who says it is his duty to let the public 'know these things.
