TUE COUNTY PRINTING.

There have been a number of ex
pressions of surprise that the Press.
which has been known as a demo-
cratic paper, should be awarded the
county printing by the board Of com.
missioners last Saturday. Yet there
ID in reality nothing to create sur
prise, unless it is the fact that the
board let the contract on its merits
without taking into consideration the
party politics Of the bidders. The
Journal seemed to figure that the
printing would go to 1t regardless of
the graft it attempted to work into
its bid 1t was $500 higher than the
Standpoint paper and 1910 higher
than the Press and we figured the
work so that it would average a fair
profit, because we do not believe in
Pauper prices. The fact that the
Journal was so much higher than the
North Idaho News and the Press
shows that it thought it had a sure
thing on the contract, or else it,
publishers do not know how to figure
the value of a piece Of printing. and
We are inclined to be charitable by
calling it Ignorance rather than an
attempt to rob the people.
When the bids were figured up for
the year, and it was found that the
Press had the lowest aud best bid, /
Andrew Christensen voted for the .
Press and before the board adjourned /
the others fell into line and the con- I
tract vent on its merits, which is to .
the credit Of the commissioners and .
will place them before the people in 4
a very favorable light. Great press
ure was brought to bear upon them
to give the Journal 500 of the
peoples money and their every step
was bounded by the Journal publish
ers during the day, but right pre-
vailed and the Press saved the tax
payers some money, while we will.
AT the same time, make a fair profit
on the work. We can commend the
commissioners for doing their duty
honestly and fearlessly after they had
spent several hours in going over last
years work to ascertain whose bid T
was the lowest. The Press is the
official paper Of Kootenai county for
the coming year and the people are
s670 richer as a result OF that fact.
We have heard a number Of republi-
cans and democrats commend the
action Of the board, which Is the best
evidence that it did right.

The ownership OF the Journal is

time it is Editor Barker who is shoot.
ing the chute and getting out. The
Journal was born as the Budget
then 1t merged into the Independent
and was conducted under this name
for some time, when the Sentinel
sprang into the field with a flourish.
The town labored under the burden
OF three papers for a time, when it
became evident that something must
be done to save both the Sentinel and
Independent FROM the boneyard. The
consolidation of the two followed,
the old papers dying, and the Journal
came to life as the offspring Of the
dead parents. OF owners and editors,
they are too numerous to mention.
For time the journal will be CON

THE NEw TRUSTEES.

The new board Of town trustees
organized Monday evening BY the
election OF Robert W. Collins as
chairman. All Of The member we're
present and after organization pro
ceeded to transact some business of
importance to the people by repeating
the salary ordinance passed by the
old board at its last meeting. While
there seemed to be but little obiec-
tion to the raise in the salaries Of
the marshal aDd night Waterman
among the people, there was a strong
feeling that the salary Of the village
attorney had been raised to an
amount entirely too high for the
work there is to be done. Many
towns larger than this go for years
without employing a city attorney
and the people thought $50 a month
too much. The new hoard took the
matter up and at its sessions Monday
and Tuesday evenings repealed the
salary act Of the old board and fixed
the attorneys salary at s25 per
month. Attorneys are human. just
like the rest of Us. and it II natural
that they are opposed to the reduc.
tion, but the people will be better
satisfied and It has been oar obserya.
ton that what the people want they
ought to have They heartily ap.
prove the action Of the ne4 board In
this matter and if it continues to
look after their interests in the same
careful businesslike way there will
be very little complaint over its acts. t
