This» amendment would remove
from the constitution the fixing of
salaries of the seretary of state, state
controller, treasurer, attorney-general and surveyor-general,
and would
empower the legislature to. fix: -the
salaries of these officers. 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.
