THE RIGHT POLICY

The commissioners OF Carbon
county let the contract for the
county printing at Red Lodge
Wednesday. The board in that
county has adopted the system
of letting the contract to the
lowest bidders, thus saving the
tax payers as much money as
possible. Commenting on the
action of the board, the Carbon
County Journal says:
Under the new printing con-
tract, the county will pay slightly
less for their supplies than under
the one now expiring. 1t is a
business contract, under which
the taxpayers may be assured
their money is not being squand-
cred. The present board of COM
missioners has consistently elm
mated favoritism and political
patronage in handling the con-
tracts, and Carbon county has
it's work done on the SCUM dest
and most reasonable basis of any
county in the state.
The elimination of favoritism
and political patronage is being
practiced in many of the counties
Of the state, and the board in
Yellowstone will do we'll to put
it into practice here. There is
no reason why the printing con-
tract should not be let the same
as any other contract, to the
lowest bidder.
The county commissioners
have the business of the county
intheir hands. They are largely
responsible for the amount of
taxes assessed. The opening of
new sections Of the county to
settlement makes it. absolutely
necessary to build new roads
each year. Road making is ex-
pensive, and the money that has
heretofore gone to the Billings
Gazette for political patronage,
could now be used for other
legitimate purposes.
The money paid into the
county funds belongs to the peo-
Pile, and not to any political party
or county board, and it should be
treated as such. There is no
reason for giving this money
away to a newspaper plant just
because it happens to be in bust
ness in the county seat.
During the next week the
county commissioners at Billings
will award the printing contract
for the coming year, and it is to
be hoped that sentiment will be
laid aside, and the contract
awarded on the merits of the
bids submitted. "-Laurel Out

Conditions are altogether diff
ferent in Carbon county than in
Yellowstone or Missoula coun-
ties. In both of the latter we
have a small city, the vote of
which is the controlling factor.
Neither the city Of Billings or
the city of Missoula allow any
thing to escape that has any per-
quisites connected Herewith,
nor do they intend to as long as
they control every office in the
county. 1t is the history of all

I have received your letter of May

you say in criticism of my 6iO-aere

eral weeks before the Committee, with
an amount Of labor and vexatous con
tentions that you can hardly realize, I
fought along the line of your letter and
what ! got was all that could possibly
be gotten at this time.
At first / had to fight the proposition
that only new homeseekers should have
the benefit of the 64O-acre bill; then
] had TO fght the proposition that ad.
ditional land should be allowed TO the
old.timers only when that additional
land was contiguous TO the original en-.
try. Ny bill, as got II out with the
unanimous report Of the committee, Is
very, very much better than IL was when
began. Very sincerely yours,

wish TO correct the impression that you
seem to take that my position is one of
criticism toward the present shape and
tenor Of your $40 acre stock.raising

that unless the changes are made that
suggested to you, that is the restrict
ed area Is eliminated, and that the ben.
eft Of the bill can be said TO include
those that have been forced to leave
their original entries and seek living
elsewhere, the bill will be of no use to
our constituents.
We know only too well the manner
of the fight that you have shown in
this matter and can only say that your
friends are with you and will do all
in their power to keep the man in Office
that Is doing his best and doing IL in
