BLOOM STARTS THE FIREWORKS

Last Monday an action was started
against D. D. McNaughton, G. q.
Johnson, Thos. Maloney, John Thclin
and Ole j. Hoistad, members of the
board Of county commissioners, Coun-
ty Treasurer E. L. Duell and Auditor
j.. A. Kramer as members of the pur
chasing committee. The action is in
the nature of a mandamus proceeding
seeking to compel the commissioners
and the purchasing committee to ad-
vortise for bids for the coming cleo
ton supplies, and j. h. Bloom is the
plaintiff or relator. The date for Che
hearing is March 16, and the outcome
will be watched with interest.
Owing to the persistent abuse that
has been heaped upon our board Of
commissioners and the county purchas
ing committee by the Journal Of this
city, the board has refused to give
that paper only a very limited space
at the trough for som months past,
and as has been the policy of that
paper in the past they are bent on the
rule or ruin policy, and if they can't
make the board be good in any other
way they are going to try the courts.
For some time past that paper has
been making a howl for bids for coun
ty printing but we have not heard a
peep about any bids for the city print
ing, simply because they have the
whole thing and everything is going
easy along that line and they are get
ting! their price and getting all the
work. Besides the Journal has a
contract for about $4,000 worth OF
state work which they are handing
over to some other concern and get
ting a nice commission on, but yet
they are not satisfied. They want
the county work too, and if they had
a majority of the board with them
they would likely do just the same as
they have in the past-print lots Of
stuff, charge their W price, and Sc
long as they got their money would
not be particular whether all the
goods were delivered or not. Ramsey
county is getting its printing done fol-
a reasonable price, as the commission
ers and purchasing committee well
know, and the blanks which are now
being furnished the various county
officials are costing at least ten pei
cent less than when the Journal had
the contract for the same work, and
the records will show it. When the
Journal had the furnishing of the
court calendars, it charge more
apiece for them than has been ,paic
since and the records will show it.
The present proceeding is not started
because there is any intend to saw
Ramsey county any money, but it is
for the purpose Of letting the "onl.
democratic daily" get more room al
the crib, Its unfair TRADES, abuse
and snatls at everything and every
body, who would not do its bidding
has gotten it in bad, and anyone VIII
knows the facts do not blame the con
missioners of the county for the stant
they have taken.

TIKI BILLS WERE CUT.

A business man remarked the other
day that Bloom could not tell the
truth, and if he could he wouldn It,
and we believ9 it. In plain language
he is a liar anh if he knows anything
he knows it. But as he is hard
pressed for a, loop-hole to cover up his
attempted steals we hardly blame him
for the s%quirming he is doing. Now
to make it more plain to him and the
taxpayers of the county we will give
the records as they exist at Bismarck
and if they do not prove him al liar
we are at . loss to know how it could
better be proven. The bills for print
ing the House and Senate Journals
for 1913 We're presented to the board
by j. H. Bloom and said bills were
sworn to by him and acknowledged
by a notary public on August 81, 1913
The bill for printing the Senate Jour.
nal was presented for the sum Of 49,
245.31, and: for the House Journals
for $l0,92s.49 or a total of $l9,173.-
30. When the bills came to the print
ing commission they would not stand
for their d pproval until they were
properly checked by a competent
printer. They were PLACED in the
hands of q competent man and when
he got ready with his report he cams
in with Il J1t of $500 but as a small
amount Of this was relative to certain
kinds of Taper which seemed to be
chargeable at double price the bills
were finally cut to the tune of ST.
534.79. One certain Mr.. Dummer
who seemed TO have charge of Bloom s
business al Bismarck, was Informed
that the printing commission w ,ulr
give only what was coming to them,
so DLmmcrl made out new or "corre.t
cd bills as he called them, ard pre-.
sented the4l to the board and the
We're allowed, and thereby the state
was saved from d steal of 1884. 70
at the han DIS of Bloom. The swcrr
bills of Blpom fol the larger amount
and also the sworn bills Of Dummcr.
for the Journal Printing Company
for the smaller amounts are on file and
Of record fn the office of the state
auditor.
Another Ect Of bills for the journal
Publishing Company for, House and
Senate billb were cut by the state
printer to the tune of 5000. 90. This
same concern known as the Journal
Publishing Company printed $500
copies Of 4 report for the game and
fish commission and put in a bill fol-
$500. 25. This bill was held up and
finally d~isallowed. Any printer who
has seen this report knows that the
charge is exhorbitant, as the work is
worth not to exceed $500. Bloom has
brought suit for the collection of this
bill, and the case was to have been
tried last January Or February, but
he claimed that he could not gel
ready. The state is ready and willing
to go to trial. Why the delay. The
above facts and figures are a matter
of record in Bismarck and if any cit
izen has amy doubt this Statement
can be verified by writing either Au
ditor J%orgenson, Treasurer Gunder VI
son or Secretary Of Stake Thomas
Hall. Why, bless your soul, we coult
write pages on the steals the grea1
democratic daily has tried to pull
off mot only in the state printing bu'
in this county also, and from time tt
time we will give the taxpayers Of
the county, some facts that will inter
est them.

guess not. But there is one thing
sure, and that is that if the farmers
must raise their products for less
money, they must necessarily hire
cheaper labor, and then the laboring
man will be compelled to suffer along
with the farmer under the present tar
if system.
