Church, School, Home Should Make Peace Goal, Minister Says HOFF SAYS ORDERWAS APPROVED Olcott and Kofcer Ap proved Printing of Reports Is Claim of Treasurer That Governor Olcott and Secre tary of State Kozer as members of the state printing board, approved the copy from which was printed the 15,000 "reports" for which these same two officials last Sat urday as members of the state board of control refused to honor payment, is, the answer of State Treasurer Hoff to the charges of, the majority members of the board of control that he was attempting to secure payment by the state for the printing of his personal politi cal propaganda. The approval of the state print ing board, Hoff points out, was given to his requisition to which Whs attached the copy of his "re port" last July.

In his letter to the board of control, in which he encloses his personal check for $44.63 to cover the cost of printing the disputed "reports" Hoff declares his will ingness to "bow to the majority rule," and expresses the hope mat the precedent for economy in state AYnpn dftures thus established be made eeneral a'nd applied to all state officials incurring expense, whether through printing or tra vel, in which political or personal benefit inures to the official af fected.

Gentlemen: In July last, in obe dience to the law governing state printing, I submitted copy of my semi-annual report designated especially as 'Of Interest to Tax payers' to the state board of print ing, consisting of the governor, secretary of state and state treas urer. This was approved accord ing to the law. 1'he state natural ly assumed the responsibility for the cost of the same and 15,000 copies of the report was printed and the expense tncurred on ac count of the permission to print the same by the state. Reverse Decision. "On November 12th a bill was rendered by the state printer and forwarded to the board of control, which consists of the same person nel as the printing board. At this time the majority of the board, the governor and secretary of state have reversed the action of them selves, as members of the state printing board, refusing payment of the bill on the grounds that the report is not of the proper na ture. "I wish to say that the report in my mind is absolutely a public document, dealing with the activi ties of this office and which I am entitled to have printed and dis tributed among the citizens of the state. Furthermore, I believe this report contains official informa lion that every citizen of Oregon Heads Italian Delegation V" MM 3-' .
