FAVURITES TAKE
ANOTHER TUMBLE

SEATTLE, July 14.-Long shots
were in their glory at The Meadows
yesterday, snatching victory from the
favorites in every event where the
latter made a semblance of a fight
and galloping under the wire in all
other events in such style that the
form students scratched their heads
in amazement and buried themselves
in their record books for a possible
explanation of the extraordinary per-
Torrance. Not one favorite was able
to Withstand the day. One g. one :,
two and two to l shots won dur
in the day.
Blue Eyes, the idol of the grand
stand, but twice defeated since she
carried off the 1904 derby stake, was
herself again yesterday winning the
mile and a sixteenth handicap so
handily that she made a show of
her field from the jump, coming un-
der the wire pulled up and fit to go
another quarter.
Forest King tried his usual rail
grabbing tactics in the final going,
but Smith shook the filly up at the
eighth pole, and she responded in
burst of speed which sent her home
almost two lengths in front of King,
who gave up all that was in him in
an effort to repeat his last out.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-07-14

The Tacoma Times last evening re-
deemed its promises, publicly made
to taxpayers Of the city at different
times during the last six months.
that it would put an end to the
excessive charges for city printing
from which the public treasury has
suffered for years.
The Times went to the city council
with bid to do the printing itself
for one year for 341a cents per inch,
the city having been paying the
morning paper So cents an inch for
this service.
Up to 1920 p. m. yesterday no bid
had been received by the city clerk
from the morning paper, and only
ten minutes remained, under the
time limit set for receiving bids.
The morning paper was waiting to
see whether IL was to have a clear
field again, or not
Al exactly 1920 The Times sealed
bid was deposited with the city clerk.
plainly marked on the outside bid
for city printing
Five minutes later, the manager OF
the morning paper, in view of the
attorney for The Times in the clerk s
Office, completed his bid, presumably
by inserting the cost per inch, and
handed II in sealed.
He had observed The Times bid
on file.
Times Bid the Lowest.
When the bids were opened i'm the
council later IL was found that The
Times was the lowest bidder by Just
81 cents per inch, the morning pa
per having reduced its price from So
cents to 40 cents. while the evening
paper, issued from the same office.
had put in bid of 60 cents per inch.
which was considerably in excess of
its regular advertising rates, but
much lower than the one-dollar-an-
inch rate 1t once demanded.
The bid of the morning paper was
also somewhat in excess of its regular
rates, but not unreasonably so, con-
sidering the fact that official adver-
Using Is more costly to set than regu-
lar display advertising.
When The Times, represented in
the council chamber by its manager
and also its attorney, Judge Emmett
N. Parker. found that the morning
papers bid was so much lower than
II was last year and that it's accept
ance would save the taxpayers a con-
siderable sum of money, it was decid-
ed to take no further action, al
though The Times was the lowest
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-07-14

feelings against this paper, persisted
in its efforts to be heard in commit
tee of the whole, so as to present it's
claims, under its bid, to the city
advertising.
Some Wanted Fair Play.
Some OF the members of the coun-
ell contended that the matter should
be fairly heard, and several of them
voiced their belief that The Times,
as the lowest bidder, should be
awarded the contract, but the
frameup, with Councilman Lam
born in charge, was too well or
ganized to be easily broken. Lam
born, from start to finish, evinced a
determination to throw the public
printing to the morning paper, re-
CARELESS of it's cost to the public.
Other members, who saw the inius-
tice of the proceeding, offered pro
tests, but they soon discovered that
Mr.. Lamborn's combination was a
sure thing.
ne Times offered in it's bid TO
guarantee the faithful performance
OF its contract with a-bond of any
amount TO be named by the council.
The present bond of the morning
paper is $4,000. The Times was pre-
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-07-14

pared to give a $4,000 bond, if re-
quired, that the publication of the
paper would be continued and that
the matter would be properly car
ried.
Has Been an Abuse.
The official printing of Tacoma has
long been an abuse, partly by reason
of the laXity of the charter provision
compelling its publication in daily
newspaper, with no limit of cost.
Hence a newspaper, so disposed and
in exclusive possession of the field,
could charge any price it saw fit
This has been done for years up to
the present time
During the last twelve months the
taxpayers of Tacoma have paid on an
average nearly $500 per month for
legal advertising to the official news
paper of the city. This sum includ-
ed payments for the publication of
ordinances, streets assessments, etc.
During the next twelve months the
increased amount of improvement
work to be done will probably in
crease the total quantity of adver-
Using one-fourth, or, on the old basis
OF 90 cents an inch, would bring it
up to 1925 per month.
Under the lower schedule of 40
cents per inch forced by The Times,
the cost of this monthly advertising
will be $455 per month, net saving
of $40 per month, or 5000 per
year.
Can Amend the Charter.
The charter can be so amended
that excessive charges will be impos-
sible, by fixing figure not exceeding
40 cents per inch which the city will
pay.
In this way thousands of dollars
would soon be saved to the public
treasury.
The Times proposes, at the proper
time, to move for an amendment to
the city charter of&his nature.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-07-14

and presumably the best bidder of
the three all things considered.
Not Grieved Over IL.
The Times was not anxious for the
official printing, for the reason that
IL is the most uninteresting kind of
matter that could possibly be printed
i'm any newspaper. 1t is as bad as the
contents of the Congressional Record,
and has no value to the general read
ing public, but only to interested
contractors, lawyers and others con
cerned in bids and specifications.
The few new facts concerning pub
lie improvements, etc, that this mat
ter contains are always given out
in the news columns of the various
papers, so that it has no value except
to carry out the technicalities of the
law.
The Times finds that 1t can get
all of the live and interesting mer-
camille advertising It requires, with
out taking the city's legal advertis-
ing, hence it's indisposition to accept
that which would be of little value
to its readers, or, in the end, to itself.
In case that the morning papers
bid had been excessive, The Times
as a taxpayer itself was prepared
last evening, through its attorney, to
vigorously press its own bid for the
city printing, rather than allow any
more overcharges. That The Times
was legally entitled to the printing
there can be no manner of doubt.
II could today enter the courts and

bidder, as was recently done in Seat
tie in a similar case.
Times Act Not Relished.
The saving to the taxpayers which
was effected by The Times action
in bidding was apparently not rel
ished by the majority of the council
men, Judging from their actions.
Every possible device was used to
prevent The Times from securing the
contract for the city printing, the
council being under the impression
that the paper really wanted it.
Gag law was resorted to to pre-
vent The Times attorney from max
ing any statements of law bearing
upon the case
The council refused to go into
committee of the whole, so that The
Times could be heard, although 1t
had done so a few minutes previous
~ to allow a prolonged discussion
over two saloon licenses, in which
the interests of two sellers of beer
in a residence district of the city
were at stake.

the ball scared over the fence, how
ever, the Angels watched it longingly
as if it carried their only hopes.

frequently, but the Angel twirler

Laughlin performed one of these un-
usual one-star attractions in the fifth,
when he pulled down a fly with one

History Of Legislation.
The enactment of the Burke bill into
law, under which the executive proc
lamation has been promulgated. was
the most important accomplishment OF
the South Dakota delegation during
the recent session of congress. The
measure was the subject Of friendly
controversy between the president and
the South Dakota members. On repre-
sensations made by persons interested
in the welfare of the Indians, the for
mer stated that it was his intention to
veto the bill if it came to him in the
form in which it passed the house.
The objection raised was hat the
maximum price of three dollars as pro-
vided in the house bill was made
Quate. After extended conferences on
the subject of compromise was affect
ed by fixing the price at four dollars
an acre for the first three months.
