cord. Maybe SO.
Speaking of printing and kindred things, |
how are we to reconcile honest dealing with |
the price charged when Secretary Thomas,
without suffering anybody to bid, gives work
to the Tribune office, and the latter folks
charge the Government $500 for single
Item of work, executed by other parties
which cost only $40? Did anybody say any
thing about "iobs?'
A prominent news dealer said Yesterday:
1.-The DEMOCRAT is the only one of the papers
on my counters which continues to daily
grow In demand. / order some extra copies
nearly every day. All the daily papers of
Salt Lake are on those counters, and have
an equal opportunity with the DEMOCRAT.
1t the Government appropriates $1,000 Tin
round figures) to do certain printing which
ought to be done for $4,000, and if by the
hocms pocus process of vague" bid the
execution of the work costs the Government
the entire appropriation, and in addition
thereto the printers get 200 copies of some of ,,
the work (Which they dispose of at, say So a
copy how does the Government get its
moneys worth? Is this conundrum couched
in language too ''vaguew for the Tribune to I
grasp its meaning? .
The public may expect to hear next of the 9
DeSeret NelrS dlsputing with the Tribune q
over the printing of the Utah Commission,

vigorous fight which the Tribune has been G
xaging over the local legislative print 9
ng. The nepotism which Mr.. King re- Il
erred to in the House the other day cuts Q
quite figure in this peculiar community, on q
Ill sides. tt
The Tribune of this morning emits vail d
is long as your arm because it failed to e.
ecelve the contract for the Legislative A
printing, and alleges as a reason WHY it il
idn't put in lower bid than the Ne,os
olks, to whom the contract was awarded
hat the specifications were SO vague as to
ender 1t impossible for the bidders to get a Of
lear idea of the nature of the work to be al
erformed. Let's see. Wasn't there some
hing little vague" to say the least, about FL
ne 1r'ibune's bid which secured for it the re
Government printing two years ago? Maybe
here wasn't, but if that be SO, perhaps the til
ffbune can explain how it is that two reams
{ paper at 81 a ream is lower figure than BIZ
ne ream of paper, twice the size of the 81 th
rtiole, and quality the same, at So rean. m
erhaps Secretary Thomas can help the w
Yfbane to solve the conundrum. ar
