The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1916-06-08
Why There is No Commencement
Writeup.

The commencement exercises OF
the Leon High School were held at
the opera house last Thursday even
ing and for the first time in thirty
years The Reporter will contain no
vriteup of the commencement. This
year the class saw fit to ignore the
local printing offices and bought
their invitations from a house in AL
bany, New York, when the local
printers could have furnished them
the same thing in this line as cheap
or cheaper than the Albany house,
but they were not even permitted to
make a price on the work. 1t has
never made any difference with us
whether The Reporter printed the
printed at another printing Office in
Leon, as regards our writeup, but
when they are ordered from an out
of town house we are not inclined
to devote space in our paper to a
An examination of the tax
books in the county treasurer's office
disclosed that the owners of the two
Leon printing Offices pay this year
for school taxes alone little over
$4,000. The Albany house pays
nothing. We believe that the print
ng for the Leon schools should be
done in Leon by people who pay taxes
sor the support of the schools, provid-
ng it can be done just as cheaply and
lust as good here as elsewhere. The
Leon newspapers devote many col
INNS of space each year to school
notes and to boosting the Leon
schools and it is rank injustice to
he papers to have printing for the
chools sent out of town without CIV
ng the local papers an opportunity
o make prices on the work, so the
vriteup of the commencement exer-
Uses this year will have to be made |
" someone else besides this paper.
