State Printers Graft. A bill providing for a flat salary for the state printer, reviving the regular biennial struggle over this question, will be Introduced In th«- senate this afternoon by Miller of Linn, who contends that the stnte can save a large amount of money by Installing a printing plant and do ing Its own work. The proposed law places the sup ervision of printing In the hands of a state board, consisting of the gov ernor. Secretary of stnte and state treasurer, who are represented by a printing expert. The salary of the printer Is fixed In a tentative way at *1000, the Idea of the framers of the bill being that the compensation shall be named after close inspection of the situation. Printer Gets Wealthy. Senator Miller has an array of figures to present In support of this bill. He asserts that the stale print er under the present system makes not less than *75,000 profit In a four year term, and says that with Increasing business the profit will ho »Pio.ooo during the rext. four yenrx The bill makes an appropriation of *85,000 with which to buy a *20.- 000 printing plant and meet all ex penses of the prlntirg department for the next two yearr. This sum Miller think.. Is ample for all pur poses under the flat salary rule and he compares It with the expense shown by the budget for 1909-10, amounting to *110,000. Es'lmallng a normal Increase, the secretary of state estimates the expenses for the next two years at *120,000. B« m > z «- In Water. I i I
