Your appeal seems lo be principally to "tux-payers" and "business men, but as non-taxpayers and vvorktngrnen generally, fortunately still have tho priv ilege of voting, I Bliall feel free to express myself, bo lon as I confine my state ments to the truth and abuse no one. Kvory man is, or at least ahould bo. interested in good government. This is a storn duty as well ns a prlvilego, Every individual owes to society his greatefit energy and bet tfforts in tho promotion of public welfa e.

Proper Salaries for State Officers. JuHt what tho salary of each stato ofll cer should be, is a hard matter to do toriniue. An.vono living in Salem, how over, knows that our stato ofllcials are not apt to injure their health by over work, since each ouo has as mauy clerks &i he duairoa all paid by tho stato and takes several mouths' vacation each voir. lu my opinion, $3000 por year would bo a just and reasonable compensation for the Governor.

But of course poli ticianscome higher. Tho Treasurer, who doesn't imvo much to do hut look wise and loan thu State's money at a good rale of interest which he "knocks down" and calls it part of his salary ought to be plno d w Hit a Hat Hillary of $'2,bM pur annum without a single tee attached. 1 hen there is the stato superintend ent of public Instruction.

'I hern iu no doubt but that the expense in curred by this olllce could bu decreased several thousand dollars a year by cutting down-thu amountof printing liut theru is prnlubly no priming houto in Oregon i hat can turn out the same amount of tlrst-clnsflwork at a lower rate than tho stato now pays.

The writer worked as u compositor in this oilicu during the liibt kesMon of the legislature, and can truthfiillv say that among the forty meuomploved, not one lailed to earn his salary excepting tho "exports." lhero were five or six of these, each drawing from JJ CO to $5.00 per day. Not one was neided. They wore an- polnted by the legislature or through the inlliience of thu statu board, and in j u Hi uo tn him, should not bo chargid up to thu State Printer. Iu conclusion I will say that this is an union olllce, and thu union wngo ecale prevails ami is no higher than the sculu paid iu most union otllces throughout tno coiintrj. lo reduce oxpcniio hero, mt off till superfluous printing, employ no experts, put the Statu Printer on u salary of f'JiDO ujeur and leave him free to conduct the ollico in a businesslike manner. All of theho ofiict's aro honorable and responsible positions, and none but lion ornble and responsible men should bo elected to till them. The benefits de rived fiom u term in any of thotu olllces cannot b measured in money, for they confer honors and social standing worth more to any man than the mere salary in count ct'ou.
