ing incorporated in the code.
Following are a few comments culled
at random from the state press:
The compilation commission held q
meeting at Fargo and awarded the con-
tract for the printing of the codes. It
was decided that the work should be
done in the state, which barred Walker
Brothers of Fargo, whose bid was made
with the intention of sending the work
out of the state. The commission, after
considering this, decided to award the
contract to the Bismarck TRIBUNE on it's
bid of $3.50 for the printing per page and
70 cents for binding. The Plaindealer's
bid was next in line at S3.45 and rs cents.
Grand Forks Plaindealer.
The contract for printing the codes
was awarded to M. H. Jewell of the Bis
marck TRIBUNE at $3.50 per page and 70
cents for binding each volume. The bid
of Walker Brothers of Fargo, was about
$1,000 less than Mr.. JEWELS, but the
commissioners gave the work to Mr..
Jewell because the printing will be done
in the state, whereas the other bidders
contemplated having the work done by
eastern houses. The mount paid to
printers will be about $4,000 on the job,
possibly more. It will be necessary to
purchase an entire new outfit of type,
which will add that much to the assess
able property of the state. The Times
Record is in favor of the principle of pro-
lection. 1t believes in all work being
done at home where possible, and thus
keeping the money in the state. The
writer hereof was in Mr.. JEWELS employ
for a number of years, and knows the
state will get a frst-class job. In view
of the circumstances we can but COM
mend the action of the commissioners in
awarding the contract to a home concern
Valley City Times-Record.
The printers Of the state are to be con-
graduated in the success of Mr.. Jewell
of the Bismarck TRIBUNE in securing
the printing of the new codes-and the
work will be done in the state. A sample
page of the new code and the paper upon
which it is to be printed, has been shown
us, and it's all that's to be desired-type
plain, paper good, and printing clear and
bright. We trust Mr.. Jewell will have
made a good thing. He certainly de-
serves credit from the craft in his efforts
to keep the work at home. While Fargo
would have been pleased to have had the

The printing of the new code was
awarded to NJ. H. Jewell of the Bismarck
TRIBUNE at $3.50 per page and 70 cents
for binding each volume. While this was
no the lowest bid by some $1,000, the
commission at the last moment held it
advisable to have the work done entirely
in the state, and on that ground, it is
said, awarded the TRIBUNE the contract.

The Fargo Argus criticism of the man
ner in which the code printing was
awarded is unwarranted. The spirit of
the law is that all printing shall be done
in the state by home publishers, and as
the Bismarck TRIBUNE was the "lowest
and best" bid to do the work in the state,
the commission could not do otherwise
than award to it the contract Grand

The Argus gives an awful yell because
the compilation commission awarded the
printing of the codes to the Bismarck
TRIBUNE Company. The TRIBUNE shop
is a tirst-class one, and does better work
than any that has come under our notice,
and the Globe has no hesitancy in COM
mendlng the Judgment of the commits
sion in awarding it the work.-Wahpeton

An effort is being made in Fargo to in
duce the governor to disapprove the &C.
ton Of the code commission in letting
the contract for printing the codes. The
labor organizations, and particularly the
typographical unions, approve of the &C.
ton of the commission in keeping the
work in the state.-Grand Forks Herald.
It may be we'll to bear in mind that
the News bid for the codes still stands,
and that it was the only one that com
piled with the condition specifying that
every stitch of the work would be done
in the state. The News believes in pro-
tecting home industry every time. When
1t has to go east for work it will move
out of North Dakota.-Grand Forks

The compilation commission has
awarded the work of printing the codes
to the Bismarck TRIBUNE. The TR1B-
UNE's bid was the lowest of all the bids
submitted by bona fide printers who
would DO the work in the state. Walker
Bros. of Fargo submitted a bid that was
lower than the TR1BUNE's, but it was not
the intention OF Walker Bros. to do the
work in the state. They would have let
the JOB to cheap eastern printing house.
The TRIBUNE will do the work in Bis.
marck. The bid of Mr.. Jewell amounts
to about $1,000 more than that of Walker
Bros. Inasmuch as it is the policy of
the laws of this state to permit no state
work to be done in a foreign state that
can be done in North Dakota, the COM
mission have done right. There is some
foolish kicking being done by The Fargo
Argus about the matter, but the state
generally will endorse the action of the
compilation commission. There is one
thing to be considered. The TRIBUNE
makes q specially of doing excellent
work. No book that it has ever done for
the state which has come under the OBJ
servation of the Pioneer has been second
rate in execution. The bound volumes
Of the session laws and the house and
senate journals are specimens of the
TR1BUNE's work that will compare favor.
ably with the best eastern work. The
Pioneer is not given to saying many good
things about the Bismarck TRIBUNE, but
it is glad that the laws will be printed in
the state, and that they will be done by
