newspaper advertising amounts to some
thing, aud that every business man attributes
his success in great measure TO
the printers ink, in which he has from time
to time invested. We have mover heard but
one objection urged against the publication
of legal salea in newspapers, and tina! was
the cost Of the same. This is m objection
that basrs folly plainly stamped upon It's
face. Itcsnnot be denied that the pubca-
ton Of shoriif's sale, or $ delinquent tax
list, or probate order 10 a Rovrpap' r, will
give IL more publicity than the Nero posting
up OF notices, If tho newspaper publication
gives the salo more publicity thsn tha
posting Of notices, it will really draw more
people to the ssls, will it uos? And the mora
people there ate present at the sale, the moro
bidders on property there will be, we may
reasonably infer may we not And tho more
bidders tners sre, the greater the competition.
She better price the property will bring,
will it not? Now, if all these propositions
be true, if these premises be correct, and who
can gainsay them? is it not cheaper to pay
an advertising bill to a newspaper, and there
by secure something like its value for the
property sold, than TO save tho advertising
bill by posting up notices of the sale aud
not realize the value or even an approIima-
tiop to the value Of the property sold? II
"a" whose property is sold by the shorih,
mskes hundred dollars by paying ten or
twenty dollars 10 newspaper for Advertising
the sale Of That property, whereas if he hsd
only posted it 30 would no: have made the
hundred dollars it is to GAS" interest b.
have the sale notice inserted in tho newaptper,
is itnot We have been considering only OF
the advantages 90 accrue from newspaper
advertising to the citizen, buttbore is another
class whose rights also should be thought Of,
the absentces. There are many ncn-res-
dents VINO own lands or other properly in
this slate, and sometimes, along with other
unfortunstes Of our fellow-bsipgs, some Of
them arc behind with their taxes, from in
ability to psy them promptly whom due, or
from oversight, md ther property il put on
the delinquent list. Independently under
the sun, has a nonresident to SEQ a notice of
sale Of his property FOR taxes due, list is only
posted up in the county where tho taxes are
payable? Fit is published in nowspeo-r
no hm some chance 50 iud it out, for news
papers 20 everywhere, fall into the hands Of
hundreds and hundreds Of people
who are not subscribers for them,
This class Of propeuy-ownorl have
some rights worthy Of respect; Now,
all these things considered, can any member
of the legislature say consistently ths. this
bill in question ought not to pass? We take
L that the sonaso committee did not object to
the form Of the bill or its provisions, that is,
1id'not report adversely TO its passage be-
cause of objections of this nature, for any
defects Of form, or Objectionable provisions
could have been romeded by substitute
bill. Whio we arc satisfied that the com.
mittee made its report as Is did for reasons
good sud sufficient to it, being aetuated only
by sonse Of duty to the public Interests
according to the best judgment of its men,
bers, yet we trust that this measure may have
careful and earnest consideration, and that
the legislature may view ii in the same light
as we do.
