ITEM AS FOUND IN THE APPROPRIATION BILL.
For tho payment of tho salary of the VilVHte Secretary to the Gov
ernor, Including his salary as cleik of tho Hoard of Trusteos of
the Oregon Insane Asylum, Cleik of the I'ubllu llulldlng Commis
sion, and Cleik of the Hoard of Capital Commissioners (for 2
yenrs) $3000 00
The above In reference to the salaiips of the Private Secretary shows a
stato of confusion In the way that salaries are paid that Is disheartening.
There Is no Inference that the present secretary Is getting any pay that lie
should not get, but theie Is clearly an uncertainty that should not exist. Hy
vailous const! actions or them, laws In the iwst private secretariat have got
hs high ss 31000 it year and over for the hii1cm of that office and nmy again
unlewi the law Is made mote xperl(jc and fixetl beyond possibility of mis
consli notion. The people should know exactly what each officer receive.
The four services named In the appropriation bill for the Private Secretary
do not Include the fourth statutory palury In our list, but us that Item was
not repealed, (though protwbly lutunded to he), the sulailes named In the ap
propriation bill only come to 311X0, while 31800 Is paid.
The Journal prints below a summary of the Items of appropriation for the
State renting Olllco for tho past four yoais, and give In addition the Items
allowed for printing and binding from other funds for two years. (Item .4.)
There Is nlso given an estimate of the state's expenses In maintaining He
printing office In the Stato Capitol. (Item 23.) This Item Is nrilvod at by
taking the biennial appropriations for light, fuel, water, postage, telegrams,
and incidentals for care of the state house and charging one-fifth of It to the
stato printing department.
Thero Is another Item of expense to tho state growing out of the state
printing nnd binding, and that Is the biennial legislative expertlng, which costs
kevoral thousand dollars, but as tha legislature orders this done It Is more
properly chargeable to the legislative department.
The following figures are believed to be rollublo, but are not final, and
as before stated, corrections and changes may have to be mad. This Is tha
first tlmu such a compilation has been offered the public and It cannot bo
expected to bo absolutely accurate.
One of the editors of The Journal was printing expert under the Lord
administration for four years nnd became familiar with all tho dotalls of that
olllco and knows that a great saving could bo effected by changing tho law
fixing compensation. It will be said this cannot bu done on account of the
constitution. Hut theie uro those who put tho constitution In the way of
every reform.
The expense for statu ptlntlng Is too large but It Includes paper and labor
Hnd binding. Study the facts and you will find It can b cut In two und still
leave the olllco a very lucrative affair.
It Is recalled that one stato printer had all the woik done for forty per
cent of tho slate compensation and neither the stato pilnter nor the pilnter
who took tho contract lost anything.
There nro those who bcllove that having the pilntlng office in tho state
house Is u source ot danger to the building and that It will some duy cause a
(lie or explosion that might, bury the state government In ruins. It is tlmo
It whh looked ufter.

A Rural Poet on Salary for State OfficialslpiQHT
AGAINST
My meighlior, Josh Hopkins, came over the other day
a iookiii so important, and grand,
That I know, he had eomotliln he was akin to say
An ho was enrryin a paper in his baud,
Be I, 'Friend Josh, what Is tho matter now,
Fer I can tell by the way that you act,
That you've either got rid ol the ole hi indie cow,
Or sold that ten aero tract.
"Oh no, Friend Si,"boeald, and laughed,
In his cheerful, boisterous way,
I'vo Juet been rcadln bout tho state olllcers graft,
An I want you to hear what tho Journal has to 'say.
Ho then commenced nnd read tho whole thing through
Kxplalnln as he went along, '
How much good n ohango would do,
An how muoh the old law is wrong,
An tho thing was mado so very clear,
That it made me fee', tarnal sore,
To think It had been goln on, year alter year,
And the people never seed it before.
I alius thought their salary small,
And I neeroould hardly we,
How they oould get anyone to run nt all,
But now It's plain to me.
It's tho "Graff; I think thafsjthe oorret nanm, '
Though, if I had thet piece, to write
I'd call it eomethln thet meant the same,
Though mebby not so perlite,
Tte Journal has made the subject so olear
Thet the people can'thelp buteee,
If we pay them ottleers m muoh peryeir
How much cheaper it will be.
While this law might hurt a very few,
Yet, taken nt a whole, it's great,
It's better 'er in, an it' better fer joji,
Aud fer Oregon, &a a stite.
