Free Press Insists That State Was
Not overeharsed.

The following statement Is made In
behalf Of the Free Press Job depart
ment
The notorious contract" OF 1904 re-
ferred to above assigned certain books
to be printed by the State so that be-
tween the printers making the agree
ment there would be no competition.
But the prices to be charged the State
were the lowest market prices. In
! 1904 when New Hampshire allowed
the rate OF 45 cents per thousand ems
| for loaded type the Free Press Job
department printed the Session Laws
OF Vermont at 40 cents for said mat
ter. The contract was awarded to
the Fres Press job department at
bid more than 1876 less than that OF
the Lyons Printing company. the only
other bidder. Does this look like de-
fraudlng the State?
Then In 1906 on a bill amounting
to S3.3S256 the difference In favor OF
the printer is but sl59.9O, had the
same book been figured on the scale
OF 1908. This is difference OF less
than 8 per cent. between the flush
times OF 1906 and the lean days OF
1908. No falrminded man can see
any overcharge In that case.
IL should be stated here that the
price for this book in 1908 has been
made by a printer who never before
did this job and who consequently
has no knowledge OF the night work
now involved. Since the Legislature
has begun TO extend its sessions into
December quick progress is necessary
in order to complete the book by Feb
ruary /, and the Free Press Job de.
partment raised the price this year
on account OF the night work involved
In spite OF the fact II was known
there would be competition.
When the printers first made an
agreement similar TO that Of 1904 the
printing commissioners took several
weeks TO investigate the prices and
then awarded the contracts, after
such an investigation, because they
found that no other New England
State was buying It's printing SO
cheaply.
Having thus had the sanction OF
the printing commissioners the print
ers felt justified I'm continuing the
same arrangement. 80 long as the
prices we're not increased. The
prices bid by these Vermont printers
in 1904, the year OF the notorious
contract" we're absolutely the same
as those made the hrst year OF theil
association.
Why Is II more criminal for print
ers TO establish scale OF prices an'
apply this scale to all customers, the
State OF Vermont among others, thar
for an association OF lawyers to agre'
upon standard Of legal charges an'
court fees or for physicians and den
lists to establish scale OF charge
for professional scrvicesg
Had these printers charged tn
state more than other customers the,
should be condemned. The Free
Press job department hopes that thi
matter will be investigated so that
may be cleared OF any unjust suspic
ion OF having overcharged the state
burlington Free Press.

u S. JOSEPH: REFoRMER.

II Harry S. Joseph and the political
porch-climbers of the Smoot machine
insist on rescuing Salt Lake from the
consequences of the bond issue, some
body ought TO call out the police re
serves and lock the doors. The Amer
lean" party politicians are bad enough
in all conscience, but Joseph and his
confreres are just a shade worse than
anything this side of Philadelphia in
the way of dark-lantern games.
Imagine the nerve of Joseph in posing
as a protector of the poor. the friend of
the oppressed, the savior of the mu-
nicipality.
He is the same Joseph who burked
the Galveston bill. and had to violate all
the decencies of parliamentary usage TO
prevent its passage; the Joseph who
counted votes as his bosses directed
who was called up daily and told what
and when TO do things-and then did
them He's a lovely specimen of the
genus reformer TO be managing cru
SADIE 10 defeat the public will as. re-
corded in the bond vote.
If the Republican party ever comes
into the hands of really able men they'll
trade Joseph off for a yellow dog and
then shoot the dog.
And at that they'd make money.

BACK TO SOLOMON.

The city of New York does not pro-
pose that the rod shall be spared and
the child spoiled. A "spankatorium'
has been instituted as an adjunct of
the childrens court, and parents of
young offenders are offered the alter
native of chastising their offspring or
having them sent TO an institution
where others will look after their needs
according to the rule of Solomon. The
"spankatorium' is supplied with rules,
switches, slippers, and other nipple
ments necessary, and attendants are
furnished TO assist the parent in case
of rebellion.
1t is the opinion of the judge that a
sound spanking is better for most of
the juvenile culprits than a term in the
reform school, and the parents interest
ed have readily fallen in with his sug-
gestion and applied the rod. What the
rising generation thinks about the in
novation is another matter.
1t is probable a spanking room in
connection with the juvenile court in
Salt Lake would do a world of good.

ClANDERlNG WILLIAM.

There is probably no exact means of
knowing whether or not Bill Glasmann
got Brig Bowman TO collect money from
gamblers for Glasmann when Bill was
mayor of Ogden. Bowman says he col
lected funds and turned them over to
Glasmann's secretary. What Bill did
with the money is unknown. but Bow
man swears it was paid in all right. and
that ii would not have been paid if
William had not been mayor.
All of which, it seems to us, is an
axiom. If the gamblers didn't sub
scribe to several funds for Bills bene-
At, they were lacking in appreciation
of his great kindness to them. On the
other hand, no one knowing Bill would
suspect him of being kind TO anybody
without some adequate consideration.
cash. scrip or notes of hand. If any
class of Ogden citizens had occasion to
know Bill. really know him, it was the
gamblers when they were given carte
blanche to run the city and their games
wide open.
Given these premises, the conclusion
is very plain that Bill should have been
paid handsomely for his thoughtful.
benevolent attitude toward gambling.
AS 10 whether he was paid or not, we
leave II to the Ogden people who have
suffered him so long and patiently. On
second thought, though, we think 1t a

cITUATIoN IN NEW YORK.

Since that gay old sport, Governor
Hughes, has SHE'D his castor into the
ring, the situation in New York has be-
come decidedly mixed from the Repub-
lican point of view. He said he
wouldn't, but he did. The members of
the tough old gang who are relied upon
TO do the dirty work during the cam
paign had confidently expected TO put
UP one of their own stripe, and the air
has been blue with curses ever since the
goody- goody governor announced his
candidacy. Woodruff has made a pill
grimage to Oyster Bay to discuss the
matter with the Great First Cause and
Chairman Hitchcock is in New York
trying to pour oil upon the troubled wa
ters without involving Taft.
Any other candidate but Hearst would
have beaten Hughes two years ago, and
his denomination would prove source
of weakness to the national ticket in
stead of strengthening il. and Taft
himself is not any too strong in the
Empire state. On the other hand, TO
put a candidate in the field selected by
Woodruff, Odell and Lou Payne would
be simply suicidal. Viewed in all its
aspects, the outlook in New York is
discouraging to the Republicans. AND
so far as they are concerned the state
is in the more than doubtful column.

DEGENERATION OF TURKEY.

The trade issued by Sultan Abdul
Hamid of Turkey may properly be said
TO open a new page in the history of
civilization. The constitution of 1876.
which is revived by the recent procla-
nation, guaranteed equal rights to all
subjects and applied to them without
distinction the name Ottoman, here
tofore reserved to Mussulmans. 1t con-
ferred the privileges enjoyed in the most
civilized countries and instituted a par
lament. The intolerance of the domi-
nant race prevented a lasting era of re-
form, and the constitution soon became
imperative.
This time the reform is forced by the
Young Turks, a powerful party en-
bracing almost all the races and creeds
in the empire, and there is reason to
believe that it will be lasting, and en-
able the health OF the sick man of the
East to rapidly improve. Certainly
the sultan will not be at fault il great
progress does not follow the infusion OF
western ideas.
The Ottoman empire comprises por-
tons of Europe, Asia ana Africa, po-
htically and enthusiastically bundle
of heterogeneous elements which so far
have defied all efforts TO weld them into
n compact mass. Moslems. Christians
and Jews have scowIed at each other
for centuries and rivers of blood have
been shed on account of religious preju-
dice which developed into race hatred.
