After a fight marked by much
bitterness the senate recommend

constitutional. Elliott lost in
his fight to save the Webb bill
which originated in the house

The new county commission
ers, after spending two days in
listening to parties who desired
TO furnish the county with books
Office furniture, typewriters, and
Office supplies of all kinds, final
ly decided to wait until their COM
missions arrived before doing
anything and will meet again
Saturday, at which time they will
organize and receive bids for
transcribing the records and also
for furnishing the books.
There was an immense differ
ence between the different prices
that were wanted for transcrib-
ing the records. These prices
ranged from fifteen cents folio
down to four and a half cents a
folio and all of the parties agreed
to furnish bonds to correctly do
the work. AS the prices asked
differed so materially the COM
missioners thought the better
way would be to let all submit
scaled bids and the parties have
been notified to that effect. The
bids will be opened Saturday, at
which time the question of record
books will also be taken up and
settled.
At their meeting Saturday the
commissioners will also decide
upon the location of the Offices
for the new officials. Before
leaving Tuesday they visited the
different buildings that had been
suggested but gave no informa-
iiOn as to their decision if they
reached any.
Among the buildings suggest
ed to them for quarters are the
City Hall, Trueman & Wunderlick
building now occupied by Groom
quist's store, Platts hospital
building and the Grand theatre.
The only statement that the COM
missioners made, so far as could
be learned, was that the offices
must all be together if possible
which leaves out a number who
have single rooms which they
hoped to rent for county purpos-
es.
The settling of the question oil
quarters for the officers is one Ol
The most difficult that the COM
inissioners have before them anC
there is bound to be more or less
feeling no matter how they de-
eide.
We believe that the commits
sioners will only be actuated b.
desire to do what is best fO
the county and will choose tn
building best adapted for the pur
pose, the price asked being take
into consideration, and any at
tempt to influence them for o
against any particular building
or location will be time and eff
fort thrown away.
The commissioners so ia
have shown an intention to carr
on the affairs of the county a
economically as possible and th
delay in letting contract TO
transcribing the records and
buying the books will re suit
a saving Of several thousand dol
lars to the taxpayers Of the cOun
ty and we believe that they wi
continue the same cOnservatiN
course in the selection of quar-
ters for the officers and also
fixing the salaries. This cour:
of action may disappoint a fe
but will meet with general al
proval from the taxpayers of Il
county.

Is the Tariff Issue "Time Worn ~

our democratic friends glibly refer to the
time issue of the tariff as IL that matter
had been disposed OF finally through legislation
forced through congress by their caucus whip
Contrary TO this comfortable belief on the part of
the unterrified, It is quite likely they will find
the tariff the liveliest issue presented to the
American people in many years. Il affects not
only the present but the future, Of the country's
Industry and commerce. and as such must ever
be Of deepest concern to all the people OF the
country.
The policy OF protection, that built up the in
dustries and made possible the great growth of
commerce OF the United States. and that prom
ises their further extension, cannot become
time worn" nor will It lose its vitality, because
OF temporary misdirection. Nor is Il a sectional
issue. as some OF the wise men would have us
believe, for the reason that the interdependence
Of the several sections OF the country ia too
firmly established TO be shaken by mere theories
The products OF each section are necessary to
the life Of the other, and with the exchange OF
articles comes community OF interest above
the mere buying and selling
These facts are automatic, and are coming to
be better understood. in spite of attempts to
bolster the idea that one part of the country can,
or does, thrive at the expense of another Every
effort made by democrats at tariff reform" has
been failure. and the Underwood tariff is no
exception. The tariff will certainly be an issue
In the coming presidential campaign. and a re-
turn TO republican policies is already well
assured.

Somewhat Severe on the Iitnsvr


The iitney regulation ordinance passed by
the council seems to us somewhat severe. The
Bee has already put itself on record in favor Of
regulation In the interest of the public and
more particularly OF safety, but net to regulate
them out Of business IL they can be made rea-
sonably safe without doing. The regulation
should provide for an adequate indemnity bond
and for inspection against physical decrepitudo
and against uncleanliness; Il should require
definite routes, or at least definite destinations;
IL should test the fitness of the drivers and
debar incompetents; It should exact a license
fee, but not an excessive one.
Lincoln's ordinance has snuffed out the
jitney. Des Moines has just passed measure
originally proposed by the Trade and Labor as
sembly Of that city, answering most OF the re-
quirements, the license fee ranging from $40 to
$Sb, according to seating capacity! The Des
Moines council, mistakenly, we believe reduced
the bond from $4,000 to $4,000, although the
operators there are said to be Directing even to
this In Philadelphia the jitneys have been
making popular demonstration against any
regulation whatever.
The lesson to be drawn from our own and
other cities experience 10 simply this: That
the municipal authorities must make the public
interest paramount to the demands both of the
jitneys and Of other rapid transit carriers

Future Of British Industry.

Some very interesting economic as well as
political points are arising in connection with
the European war. What effect will the opera
tions OF the munitions" bill have on the fac
tories of Great Britain after the war is ended?
The present operation OF the law Is TO practically
complete the naturalization" Of all the great
industries whose output will be OF service to the
country in connection with the equipment and
maintenance OF the army In the field Workers
in these factories are virtually under enlistment
for the war. while owners are to be restricted
in the matter of profits, to the end that the
public will have the greatest possible benefit
from the activity of the mills.
Other regulations have been adopted that
give the absolute control OF manufacturing of
the United Kingdom into the hands of LLOYD
George, who now becomes even a more potent
factor in the war than Kitchener. who merely
organized the army. With this control OF the
factories, Lloyd George is charged with the
great responsibility of providing the arms and
munitions 20 be used by the most prodigal dis
pensers Of destruction the world has known in
all its history. No man in England ever held
greater power
English trade was depressed before the war
came, especially the iron and steel industry
which had languished for several years The
revival that has followed on the demands OF the
army for greater supplies has oceasioned prob
lens that have only partly been solved The
Communicating of the factories is the final
effort at solution. But this brings a question
stili more vital. When the war is over. will the
factories be restored to their owners? Or. will
they remain under control OF the governmental

Health Board, and pnhlin H.alth

One OF the doctors now in session at San
Francisco INDUCES in some little extravaganza
In making claims for the work OF the boards OF
health Of the American communities. but
modieum OF exaggeration is perhaps warranted
by the immense service the public has received
from this agency. The properly organized
health board stands sentinel between the
public and disease. Epidemics have all but
vanished from this country because OF the en-
ergy and persistence OF the medical profession
in forwarding the cause of sanitation and better
living. The ready cooperation of the people
through submission to restrictions and regula-
lions. has aided much in his achievement. but
to the doctor first of all belongs the credit for
the Improvement wrought Further conQuests
Of disease are TO be made. and the doctor is
spiendidly devoted to the quest of health for
