TIE SAME OLD BUSINESS.

The Ledger submits the following
claim for stationery passed by the
board of supervisors at the July meet
ing, and which has been paid by the
treasury. The contract for stationery
supplies was awarded to Hela d
Piccardo, and the bill is supposed to
come within the terms of the con-
tract. 1t is the business of the ex
aiming board to ascertain whether
or not the charges are within the
scope of the contract, both as regards
the quantity ordered and the prices
charged. 1t is simply reducing the
contract system to an absurdity to
contract for say gross or dozen of a
certain article, at fixed price, and
then ordering the said articles
singIy or halt gross. The contractor
is thereby liberated from the restric-
lions of his agreement, and charges
just the same as though no contract
existed. If it be said that the county
does not need the articles in anything
like the quantities stated in the con-
tract this admission proves what we
have been contending for all along,
that the system we have fallen into,
and adhered to for years is an imposl-
ton and fraud upon the taxpayers
and the sooner the supervisors take
steps to change it, and make it 6
benefit instead of a disgrace, the
better will it be for the reputation Of
the managing board. Here is the bill

The Taft Campaign.

The Taft boom for the presidential
nomination on the republican side Is
in full blast in Ohio. That state is
considered the preliminary, if not the
decisive battle ground. Without the
vote of Ohio-his own state-the
aspirations of Taft ould hardly be
entitled to serious consideration.
Taft is the choice of President Roose-
welt. Declining to be candidate
for denomination, he wishes that the
man of his selection, who is commit
ed to the continuance of policies that
he has inaugurated, be made the
standard bearers of the party in the
next campaign. Never IN the history
of the republican party has a presi-
dent pushed the idea of endeavorIug to
name his successor to the extent that
has been and is now being done by
the administration. 1t is an innova-
tion, and we're 1t not for the admit
ted single mindedness and patriotism
of Roosevelt, it would be a dangerous
policy. There is no question that
President Roosevelt believes that con-
ditions demand man at the head ut
affairs who will CONTINUE in the re-
form work that he has begun and part
iy carried out. On the other hand,
Senator Foraker of Ohio, one of the
adroitest and ablest politicians of
Ohio, is not IN line with the presl-
dents policies, and is against the
forced candidacy of Taft. Taft is in
favor of tariff revision, and Foraker
objects on this ground. 1t is not for
the presidential candidate to name be-
forehand the platform upon which he
shall stand. That is tor the party in
convention to determine.
The republican state committee of
Ohio, has endorsed Taft, and Foraker
claims that in so doing they have
Travelled beyond their jurisdiction.
And there can be no question that
Foraker is right on this proposition.
The state committee has no power to
commit the party to any particular
candidate. 1t Is usurpation of the
rankest kind to attempt such a thing.
The party in convention assem- bled is
the sole authority in that line. For
few men, selected to attend to
routine work in the interval of con-
ventions, to assume such a royal
prerogative as to name a candidate
for president is rank. 1t is likely to
hurt rather than help the candidate
preferred. This boomerang action was
notably exempted in California at
the last election, when the state COM
mittee engineered the machinery in
the direction of a certain candidate.
Theyssucceeded in. eIectipg GIllett,
but at tremendous cost. One third
OF the party strength fell away from
candidacy SO managed. The protest
was so emphatic and Ioud-voiced
that a repetition of such autocratlc
ways is not likely to occur again in
the near future.

bid system. Amador can hardly
afford to be so aristocratic in her
ways. 1t is ridiculous to think that
any wholesale list price sanctions
such an enormous disparity. 1t is
simply another striking illustration
of the lack of care in auditing and
allowing bills.
In all seriousness, we ask how can
Amador be expected to prosper when,
through carelessness, neglect, or
whatever it may be termed, her
people are paying nine times the
price for articles as compared with
other, and better Iooked-a coun-

again, the first essential to a better
condition is to mend our ways ID
governmental expenses.
Turning to the printing bill of the
Dispatch allowed at the last meeting,
we find like effort to evade the
terms of the schedule price. For
example 1000 No. 7 envelopes are
charged So; and 500 envelopes (no size
given) are charged So. so. Now, No. Z
envelopes are not included ID the
schedule list at all. Indeed, 1t is a
size not recognized in ordinary bust
ness transactions, and barely re-
cognized in wholesale price lists. 1t
is so tIItiingly larger than the usual
commercial envelope, that the differ
ence does not count for anything

important Change in School Law.

The last legislature made an import
ant change in school law, to the effect
that 60 per cent of the county school
fund must be applied for the payment
of teachers salaries; leaving 40 per
cent for repairs, supplies, apparatus,
etc. Heretofore, the proportion avail
able from the county fund for pur-
poses outside teachers salaries has
never been fixed by law. The trustees
might spend the greater part or the
whole OF it that way. The state fund
must be spent exclusively for the
payment of salaries. lhe new plan
will break into old methods consider
ably, and will have very salutary
elect upon the school system when it
gets into fair working order. II may
work a hardship in some cases for
while, but in the end it will prove
decidedly beneficial. The loading up
with useless apparatus Will be a thing
OF the past, the importantly OF
drummer's in the interest of school
supply houses will be cur bed in a
great measure. 10 Offset this, how
ever. for while many small districts
will be unable from regular funds to
make needed repairs and improve
ments to school buildings. unless by
voting special tax. School houses
neglected and delapidated must re-
main SO until by cluse economy they
can work out of the rut. For all this.
the lawmakers did a good thing il
passing this measure. 1t restraints
the spirit of extravaganza in direc-
tions where heretofore it has been
uncurbed. II will tend to secure al
increase in teachers salaries. 1t is
noteworthy in this Connection to say
that in 20 school districts there has
been raise in salaries of from So to
SIS per month. Amador county has
the unenviable notoriety of paying
the smallest salaries of any county il
California. The average salary pei
year for male teachers, including the
Union high school at lone, was fol-
1896, S843; for female teachers S545. so.
The payments are scattered over Il
months, while as a matter of fact
only from eight to nine months are
actually spent in the work of teach
ing.

The High School Question.

II person would draw any con
cluslon from a recent article in the
Echo. he would be compelled to
think that Amador county was com
posed of lone and vicinity.
outside of that little burg the popula-
ton was not numerous enough to
mention; that lone was the only place
ID this part of California with the
proper environment for high school.
and also that the high schooI-sucb
as 1t was, even-was all that kept
lone in the public eye.
No matter what arguments or even
representations were used by those
persons who took round a petition
for signatures to accomplish a dis
ruption of the Union high school dis
trlct, there is still much good sound
cause for dissatisfaction amongst
those who support the school. Taxes
are a necessity in any civilized
country and are generally cheerfuIIy
paid. If not paid oheerfuIly they are
at least paid in full, and should the
taxpayer not pay them himself they
are collected, etc., as We all know.
Does 1t not appear to the editor OF
the Echo that a tuition fee charged
outside students is simply a tax on
the parents of those students. That
81
members of the classes in the high
school is virtual assumption by the
parents of such students of that tax.
and if so, why is that tuition or tax
unpaid?
union district is formed from
several districts, and in tie beginning
each district of the proposed union
high school district held an election
to give the voters of each individual
school district chance to vote on
the question, whether or not they
would become part of such pro-
posed high school district. But the
districts that defeated the measure
were yet compelled to be a part of
the union district, because a majority
OF all the voters in all the districts
voted in favor of it. If such Is the
spirit OF the law, why in the name of
common sense and reason was not
one election called at one central
place In such proposed Un1or high
school district?
Camp Opra cannot be said to be
inconsistent in wishing, to withdraw
from the Union district, for Camp
Opra voted against it III the first
place. and the signatures obtained
here in the first place concerning the
establishment of the Union high
school, were not obtained after
mature consideration and thorough
understanding of the matter by the
signers. And furthermore 1t was the
general belief that if the proposition
was defeated at the district election.
the district voting against it would
be mapped out of the Union district.
