Manner Of Awarding Road-Building
Contracts Is Called to Your Attention

The board of county commissioners is asking
the people of Carter county to place in its hands
S64O,000 to spend on the county roads,
This county gets large sum from oil and
other large sum from automobile taxes and another
large sum from ad valorem taxes to be used eXclu
Sivey on roads, but besides these sums the commits
sioners asking for $640000 to be raised by vot
ing bonds.
few days ago in the trial of before the
district court the county attorney outlined the meth
DDS pursued by the commissioners in awarding road
building contracts.
These bids are handled in manner that elimin
ates all competition and are worked about IN TINS
manner
The commissioners have the engineer to prepare
specifications for bids. All the contractors are ask
ed to submit bids on these specifications.
One of these contractors is to be favored and he
knows it and submits low bid so he will be sure
to be awarded the contract. Then supplemental
agreement is made with him which mas the eIlecl Oh
raising his bid.
This plan of awarding contracts has its virtues
as well as its vices. The commissioners place
the work in the hands Of home contractors and out
side bidders eliminated. But while it has this
virtue it opens up way by which road can cost
any sum of moeny almost that the engineer agrees
upon.
The human mind is so constituted that if you
give it an inch it will take mile and this plan
makes the foundation for a mighty big evil
We do not desire to be misunderstood as insin-
uating that he members of the board Of commits
Soners profting themselves out of their plan of
awarding contracts, because they too honor
able for that but we do say that such plan sowS
the seed Of careessness the part of men work
under the commissioners for they are made to feel
that there is way of getting by when specifica-
tOns changed 1t has the effect of doing away
with the original bid and contract
Our only desire is to carry out our mission as a
newspaper and place the information before the
taxpayers of the county. If they regard it
evil and desire to correct it they can do So If they
do not want their money spent in this way they
can decline to vote bond issues and withhold the
money from the commissioners
In a democracy the people rule. They can have
these methods continued or they can have them stop
ped because they violation of the spirit of the
law whether they violation of the letter or
not. and these methods are most assuredly a viola
ton of public money because they pave the way for
evil in the administration of county affairs

HAVE YOU FELT LIKE THIS?
The Flu

When Your back is broke and your
eyes are blurred,
And your shin bones knock and your
tongue is furred,
And your tonsils squeak and your hair
gets dry,
And you re doggone sure that you re
going to die,
But you re skeered you won't and
you re afraid you will
Just drag to bed and have your chill
And pray the Lord to see you thru,
For you've got the flu boy,
You've got the flu.
When your toes curl up and your belt
goes fiat,
And you re twice as mean as a
Thomas cat,
And life is long, long dismal curse,
And your food all tastes like hard
boiled hearse
When your lattice aches and your
head 8 buzz,
And nothing y as it ever was.
Here are my sad regrets to you,
For YOU We got the flu, boy,
You've got the flu.
What is it like? This Spanish flu?
Ask me, brother, for I've been thru.
1t is by Misery out of Despair;
1t pulls your teeth and curls yourhair
1t thins your blood and brays your
bones,
And fills your craw with means and
groans.
And sometimes. maybe, you get well
Some call it flu
| call it hell. Exchange.
