It would also endpower the legislature at its diseretion to abolish the office of surveyor-general. The Taxpayers’ association favors this amendment because it believes that these state offices are so important as to warrant larger salaries than are now paid. The salaries received . by these officers were fixed by. the Constitutional Convention of 1879. Salaries should be fixed to meet current economic conditions and not fixed on a basis of conditions sixty years ago. This amendment will enable the legislature to fix these salaries in accordance with present day economic conditions. 0: NOTICE — NOTICE.
