HOW ARE YOU, TAXPAYERS?

HOW ARE YOU, TAXPAYERS?
The city council on yesterday once
more went through the motions of a
session, and enacted the farce OF passing
upon the city printing for which bids
had been solicited. The LIGHTS bid
was put in as usual; as usual. 1t was
lower than the bid OF any other city
Journal; as usual, 1t was rejected, the
LIGHT not being In good odor with the
present city administration, and as
usual the taxpayers pay the difference.
Not that the LIGHT is at all surprised
thereby. 1t was the expected and the
inevitable, and the inevitable surely
comes. That the LIGHT has no rights.
which the council is bound to respect,
goes without saying. But 1t does not
follow that the citizens have no rights
which the council are TO respect. AS
those who furnish the sinews of war,
the cash which runs the city, the money
which makes the mare 90. the tax
payers are little interested In knowing
why their advertising lie not let to the
lowest bidder. The LIGHT OF Saturday
last showed conclusively, by graduated
scale OF prices from one to ten lines,
just how the several propositions
would affect the purses Of the tax
payers. That schedule can be figured
out TO trojan fraction and the swIndlcd
tax payer can see how it is himself
Then, again, the elimination OF the book
or pamphlet printing from the schedule.
Why was that done, except to stand as
fat take to some fsvorite who would
get the benefit OF non competition job.
as q reward for being upon his good
behavior. The LIGHT pays it's city taxes
along with its other debts and can
afford to get along without city pap,
but the citizens who pay taxes have a
right to the benefit of the competitions
for public work as provided by law, and
it Is the merest farce to advertise for
bids and then pay no attention to them
when the awards are made.
