An Unheeded Letter

The letter below is seis.explana-
tory, but is explained further in
our Weather Eye department else
where on this page, to which read
ers and taxpayers in general are
referred. 1t states the case for
those who pay the taxes and for
this reason is believed worthy of
general attention.
Extra, Iowa,
February %, 1920
To the Board of Supervisors,
Audubon, Iowa.
Gentlemen:
To avoid all possibility of mis-
understanding as to the attitude of
your honorable body toward the
policy of purchasing public supplies
at the lowest cost, we are asking
again that in the future, all orders
for supplies of whatsoever kind to
be used in the county offices be let
to the lowest responsible bidder.
We hold that the antiquated
''Spoils System" is indefensible in
county affairs; that the peoples
chosen servants should not connive
at nor protect amy private individ-
ual in y monopoly that is known to
increase the cost of goods bought
with the taxpayers money; that
the cost to'the taxpayers of Audu-
bon County of the protected mono
poly which now exists is many hun
dreds of dollars per year; that
with taxes already high and still
rising, taxpayers would not tolerate
such a condition if they understood
the truth regarding it; and that if
there is no other way to correct the
evil, the taxpayers should be told.
We believe that a statement from
your honorable body in the above
matter would greatly clarity the
situation, and we sincerely hope
that your body may see fit to make
such a statement at this time.
Most truly yours,
AUDUBON CO. JOURNAL

DR.. j. c. NEWTON
PASSES AWAY
Prominent Physician of Ex-
ira for Many Years.
Mourned by Many,

Last Sunday after severe illness
of two weeks. DIR. j. G.. Newton
passed to the Life Beyond. He
has been in failing health for a
number of years at times being a
great sufferer, but his unda mitable
courage and will would not be con.
quered and he was at his post un-
til but a few days before the end
came.
His death has cast a gloom over
the entire community as only the
death of a good man can. He was
friend to everybody and his big
kind heart rejoiced when fortune
smiled upon others, and grieved at
TIER adversities. Words can not
express our grief at his loss nor the
sympathy felt for the bereaved wife
who is thus left alone.
The funeral took place Tuesday
afternoon at the home, where a
large crowd had gathered to pay
their last respects the venerated
dead. A complete obituary will be
given next week.

OUR WEATHER EYE,
To A Higher Court .

There is a controversy of long
standing, in which all taxpayers of
the county are interested, and
which it seems should be decisively
settled by them this year.
Nearly fifteen years ago, the
Journal expressed its conviction
that all public supplies of whatso-
ever kind that are paid for with the
taxpayers money OUGHT to be
purchased from the lowest respon-
sible bidder. The idea did not
prove to be popular with those in
control OF affairs and it was prompt
ly squelched. Several times since
then the matter has been taken up
in these columns, but always with
the same result. A short time ago,
it was taken up again, this time by
direct correspondence; and again
the proposal seems to have fallen
upon deaf ears. One of the recent
letters from the Journal to the
board of supervisors Of Audubon
County which met this fate is re-
printed elsewhere on this page.
1t seems time that the taxpayers
of Audubon County understood
clearly and definitely that in the
purchase of public supplies, the US
ual rule of getting the most possible
for the money spent DOES NOT
HOLD at all. Here money is COM
monty paid over instead without
any questions being asked, no mat
ter what price happens to be asked
for the goods bought.
This appears to be matter for
the taxpayers to settle. 1t is their
business and no one else's. The in
terests of no private individual
should be put above those of the
people who pay the taxes. No one
believes that the taxpayers would
approve of the ''spoils system" in
county affairs if they We're given a
chance to register a decision CON
cerning it.
In justice to the present board it
should be said that they are proba-
bly, not unanimous in their course
upholding this vicious and indefen-
slble system of doing business with
the peoples money; but since
there are two members to be
changed this year, voters will have
a chance to settle the matter for
good and all.
1t seems that good rule to fol-
low in this campoign would be to
support only those candidates for
supervisor who will pledge them
selves unreservedly toroot out COM
pletely the last sign or trace OF
"spolls" from the-business done in
the name Of Audubon County.

Nothing Barred but Biting And Couging in Basket
 ball at Douglas.

Ambulance calls were frequent in the basketball game at Douglas last night between the Thane team and the Douglas Bremen. The game was won by the former 12 to &.
 The struggle was perhaps the toughest seen on the Channel for several years. There was even hit ting in the clinches and strangle holds. Nothing was barred except biting and gouging.
 Several men took the count at various times. Flanagan had a nice "shiner' put on him that was a model of it's kind. Oliver of Douglas was out for ten minutes after getting the Knee" and Brown of the same team was put permanently out with an in jured knee Various other casualties occurred from time to time.
 Hodges of Thane starred for bis team and was responsible for eight points. Williams played a good game also. The team work of the team has improved considerably and there is no doubt but that the team IS now a strong one
 Lack of team play and poor basket shooting was responsible for the Douglas defeat. Out of nine chances
