Many states publish official "Blue Books" containing in­ formation about their public officials. Since lack of funds makes this impossible in Wash­ ington, we offer this smaller volume. I hope that members of the 36th Legislature will find this a useful reference work and a memento of their service in this body. THE PRESS The State Legislature BARRETT, Eldon, United Press IntI.
