PINE GROVE.

Times i'll and around our town are
looking up. Everybody is busy in
his own special way providing for the
future. The incoming stage rolls in
loaded with passengers to its upmost
capacity nearly every night, which
signifies something doing.
We are told that some of our bust
ness men will make an effort to ceIe
brate independence day, and We hope
that any that choose to come this way
will be entertained through the day
and evening, for we have some patri-
otto citizens IN Pine Grove. So here's
"three cheers for the land of the tree
and the home of the bIave.'
A fine automobile passed through
our town from Volcano on Sunday
morning, which enllvened the monot-
ony for a while. The machine was
40 horse power. but ewing to the
scarcity of the necessary fuel Grille IS
horse power came to the rescue.

June 25.-Otis French, who has
been away for five months, working
with the q. 2. Company railroad force
above Oroville, paid these parts a
visit Sunday last. He is only here
10 spend the 4th when he will return
to railroad work again.
Quite number of young folks of
this vicinity attended the dance
Saturday night a. Plymouth, and the
Italian picnic Sunday at Amador.
Grover Beaver was visitor at these
parts Sunday evening last.
The many friends of Fred Thoms,
the Plymouth postmaster. we're sorry
to hear that his son-in-Iaw, who
married his oldest daughter, commit
ted suicide at Los Angeles a few days
ago. He blew his brains out with
pistol. He left no writings so l have
heard, and no cause is assigned for
his action.
Fred Schroeder and him wife went
down to Folsom last week, on a visit
to the latter's sister and brother-In-
law, Mr. and Mrs Frank Traganza.
MI and Mrs Isaac McClary from
Oleta, went down to San Francisco on
Saturday last, called there by the
announcement that their granddaugh-

9 doz. blotters

Only one item in the entire list
lines up squarely with the contract;
that is the box of carbon paper So.
2 ostrich busters are allowed for 81,
when the contract calls for Coo. The
one dozen penholders are charged at
the highest priced article in the con-
tract list, namely: Bank penholders.
The two dozen blotters, 1--WE presume,
the usual size for such articles) are
charged 20 cents. The contract calls
ream blotting paper l9x24, S1.75,
which is totally different PROPOSE
tion. Two sheets of 19x24 paper will
cut So b!otters of ordinary size, and
as there are 500 sheets to ream, this
is at the rate of s65 per ream. instead
of S1.75 as given IN contract-a startl-
ing difference. Pens are ordered by
the dozen, instead of by the gross
and single pencils instead of by the
dozen or gross. When the law max
ing body passed a statute that sup
plies shall be ''let by contract to the
lowest bidder" it meant to accom-
plish something of a practical and
economical nature. Every Official
concerned is charged with the carry
ing out of the contract according to
its spirit and letter. It means that
articles that are required in actual
use, and in quantities to suit shall be
contracted for, and the supervisors
are elected to see that the law is a
live one, not thing to be thrust
aside into the realm of forgetfulness
as soon as the contract is signed.

airy for treating the schedule as obso-
lete. In the ten years OF shuttle of
The rates for printing aud advertis-
ing are hereby established the same
as last year," one man be forgiven,
for forgetting or ignoring a schedule
that has been sleeping Rip Van
Wrinkle sleep in the official records
for such a protracted period. The
vitality ought to have passed out of
the thing years ago. The facts
above given show that it has outlived
its usefulness anyway. The absurd
ity and unfairness of the thing Is
manifest when one printer is permitted
to ignore the schedule, and another
considers himself bound by it, while
the supervisors heed not the differ
ence. Such is the supervision to
which the people of Amador county
are being treated. Then again, the
very idea that rate established ten
years ago-even applicable at that
ancient date lis equally adapted to
the conditions of to-day, is ridicu-
lous. To show that the taxpayers
are getting the worst of it at both
ends, we present herewith a list of
prices under the "so-called'' Amador
schedule, and the rates established
for the current year in other counties,
where the supervisors try to obey
the mandate to establish the rates
annually.

We have been asked why it is in
this year of 1907, the tax rate is kept
around the 50 mark. whereas over 20
years ago, with far less assessment
roll we managed to get along Just as
we'll with greatly reduced tax rate.
This is not intended for a political
inquiry. 1t is not designed to com
pare democratic with republican rule
in Amador county. We simply say
that quarter of century ago, pro-
perty holders we're not called upon to
pay anything like the amount they
now pay for self-government.
In reply to this query we can only
say that if the lax methods set forth
in this issue in the allowance of
claims pervade the whole govern
mental machine, it will help to ex-
plain the increasing burdens of the
taxpayers. What private business
would stand up under the stress and
strain herein indicated. We have
merely skipped over a few instances,
there are plenty more that might be
looked up. 1t is about time there
was general shaking up in the in
terest of good government. Ii ever a
thorough examination of county
affairs was needed, with a view of in
curing into the illegal payment OF
money, and compelling the repay
ment of funds improperly drawn or
overcharges, it is now. Slipshod
methods ought not to be tolerated any
longer. What sort of reputation are
we making to invite a share of the
homeseekers, who are pouring into
the state by thousands. We must
mend our ways, or they will continue
to pass US by. We Will continue to
ventilate this subject in future issues.

Looking over the printing bills we
lind about the same state of affairs.
The bills allowed do not conform to
the established rates, in many in
stances. 1t is damaging indictment
of the county administration to say
that Notwithstanding repeated de-
mands for revision of the printing
schedule to meet existing conditions
that schedule remains exactly the
same as when adopted ten years ago.
Indeed, it has never been re adopted
in due form since that time. II you
want to find the printing rates, you
have to turn back to the minutes of
the supervisors in 1897. As far as we
know the Itemized list entered in the
minutes of that year is the only
standard of comparison for the sten
years that have elapsed since. This
is the way the rates tor job printing
and advertising have been annually
established in Amador county. We
are aware that list of printing rates
is set forth in the minutes of 1904.
but this was nothing more practically
than an arbitrary re-adoption of the
1897 list:
In the list of bills cancelled in May
last, we find the following list of
printing supplies from the Dispatch
office:
$50 envelopes 61s s2.5OI
1000 letter heads FOOL
$50 envelopes 2.5OI
2oO letter heads 2.5Ol
1000 envelopes No7 5.OOI
Not single item squares up with
the 'so-called" established rates.
Either the quantity ordered or the
price charged is out of joint, and in
every case the charge is IN excess of
the rates. This will be seen more
clearly by comparing bill presented
to the board by the Dispatch in May
last, and items of q SIMILAR char
anter contained III bill presented in
June (last month"; by the Ledger as
follows:
Dispatch.

$50 Envelopes No. 10 800
100 '' /" u 200
Ledger.
800 Envelopes So $3.50
500 d" No. 10 800
Notice that the Dispatch was paid
the same price for go envelopes, as
the Ledger got for 300, the grade
being IN favor of the Ledger articles;
for 500 envelopes the Dispatch pocket
ed by the allowance of the supervisors
81 more than the Ledger. For 80 No.
10 envelopes the Dispatch secured So,
for which sum the Ledger furnished
500. The letter heads and No /.
envelopes are overcharged also.
10 make this clear we reproduce
the rates on such articles established
in 1897. Think of the absurdity of
travelling back ten years to find the
price list of articles that the law
requires to be set forth every year.
Here it is:
