On her grave from year to year.
And wintry sunsets. yelled

RESULT OF MIsINFORMATIO

We are amazed that SO level
headed and generally correct a paper
as our contemporary, the Humboldt
Standard" should so far go wrong as
to declare, as it does in a recent num-
Der, in favor of abandoning the series
of State text books and going back
with State printing to the old contract
system with its lobby and its corrup-
ton.
It is freely admitted that State print
ing worked out under the eight-hour
law and the salary system costs more
than the same work could be done for
by private individuals working men
by the thousand ems and at ten hours
a day of labor. But those questions
have nothing whatever to do with the
textbooks. for the fact is not as the
STANDARD" alleges, that the text
books cost double what the best books
in the market can be had for
The fact is that the State textbooks
are produced, even under the State
Printing Office system of eight hours
labor and salaries, at a little over half
the sum per volume that was formerly
paid by parents, and the cost is over
% per cent. below the prices of books
CT the book ring to-day.
The standard says: THE State made
an egregious and costly blunder when
it went into the textbook business y
This statement does no credit to the in
telligence Of our contemporary since
the fact is that the State textbook
system has saved to the people hum
dreds of thousands of dollars in the
last ten years, besides freeing the State
of the bribing, cOrrupting and domi-
neering book ring that invaded State
politics in all directions, and even car
ried its infamous tactics down to the
selection Of school teachers.
The STANDARD" owes it to it's client
age to inform it where it got the in
formation that the cost of State text
books is twice the cost of the books of
private concerns. That story smacks
OF the manufacture Of the Eastern
book ring. We have had just such mat
ter rendered us for publication with
offers to print it for coin. We assume
that the Standard" a highly reputable
journal, has been misled in this matter,
and that it is unconsciously playing
into the hands of the book ring and the
photters who seek TO destroy the inde-
pendent State textbook system. When
the standard revises its facts and
ascertainS, as Ii can do easily, just
what the truth is, 1t will regret having
said that the textbook law should be
abandoned.

i In awarding the street cleaning con-
tracts. If the matter is taken up this
evening, the Trustees should consider
that while the hand sweeping bid is
the lowest of any in, provided it is
made by parties who can be held to
their obligations it is by far the better
bid for these reasons: First-Hand
sweeping goes into the cutters and to
the very curb, which the machine cam
not do. Secondhand sweeping will
not leave a line of dirt along each
course as the machine now in use al
ways does. Third-Hand sweeping
will go clear out to the edges Of the
crossings at intersections and junction
of bitumin with earth or gravel sur
faces, which the machine cannot do.
Fourth-Hand sweeping will not raise
the dust the machine does, and il will
never require the heavy sprinkling that
under the present system has been such
a nuisance at night. Moreover. under
hand sweeping the sprinkling that Is
needed can be done in small sections
as needed and the flooding of the
streets be thus prevented. Fifth-Hand
sweeping will give employment to
larger body of workers.

The people owe a debt of gratitude to
to Senator Strattons Committee on
Elections. It has broken the ice of an
old, dishonest and robbing practice.
Heretofore it has been the custom when
seat in the Legislature was contested
to allow the contestant, if defeated, a
sum of money under the cover of ex-
penses, and his attorneys fat fees, run
In addition the opposite party got a
large fee for his attorneys also and a
Solace in the way of coin. ! Usually it
costs from So, 900 to $4,000 to have a
seat contested in the Legislature. Sem
ator Stratton's committee had claims
before it in contested election cases
amounting to over $4,000. 1t put in the
knife however, with a firm hand and
a correct aim and cut the very life out
of the bills. Attorneys on one side
were allowed 800 and on the other
$500 each, and the total costs of the
contests, including mileage and wit
ness fees, was reduced 10 some S-,Soo.
This is so commendable, and is SO
coura geous an assault upon an in
famous old system of plunder, that the
Senate committee deserves a monu-
ment. It has set the pace for the fu-
ture, and the likelihood is that here
after we will have few contested cleo
tions for seats in the Legislature. I'm
der the old plan there was more money
in being defeated and in c0ntesting,
than in being elected and holding the
seat. We recall one case where the sit
ting member got but $3.50, his regular
per diem, and $1,000 for his attorneys,
whereas the contestant who was de-
feated got 81 900 for himself and $1,000
for his attorneyS
