new way of buying. Therefore the
only plea they had to offer was that
the old way Of buying put state
money into their town, and they
wanted the state to continue to help
and sustain their town and all the
dealers In It, for to take away the
asylum trade or part Of 1t would hurt
the town by hurting the dealers.
The department assured them that
they would receive consideration IL
their bids we're close, and that If
their bids were nearly as low as the
lowest, that preference would be
given to the firm or firms nearest the
institutions and to firms within the
state. But that did not satisfy the
dealers, and they sent q delegation
to Boise to wait on the powers there
and try to head off this new way Of
buying. They returned to their home
town without succeeding, and when
the blanket sale was completed, they
threw up their hands and said it was
not worth while for them to ever bid
again. The state got its blankets
and other supplies SO cheap, they had
to admit that it was such q great
saving to the state, that individuals
were not justified in protesting
against it for individual good. They
admitted that the state was not op-

better than in the earlier purchases,
and the state got better prices.
While was in the bureau of supplies

that they could not compete in the
