WILL PUT IN SYSTEM OF
COMPETITIVE
SAYS LEONARD BERGMAN

Leonard B. Bergman, candidate
for county COMMISSIONS is a bust
ness man of many years experience,
who believes that public business
can be run as efficiently as private
business. He declares that if he is
elected he will establish in the
county commission some of those
methods he lea ned while in contact
with the business world.
"The present system of non-com-
petitiye purchasing by the county
commissioners and heads of ar
ious county depa tments is one that
should be abolished at once. No ar
ticle for county use should be bou-
ght unless bids had been received
and all purchasing should be cen
tered in one agency. The present
system which permits the head of
any county depa -tment to purchase
Unfortunately, aterial and COM
modities for county use, has re-
suited in inefficiency and loss of
money.
an 1885 when a liberal budget
had been adopted for the ensuing
years business the sum of $1,073,-
TAO was adopted and county ope--
ations were to be conducted within
this budget. In August 1886, at
the end of the budget year, it was
found that the county had exceed
ed its budget by $74,977.09, and out
of thirty county departments only
nine had operated within the bud
get.
"Non-competitive buying was
common among the commissioners
during the yea, and apparently
with no thought of remaining with
in the budget Department heads
cannot be criticized - larshly, for
they merely followed the lead of
thei superiors. Under the present
system Of buying the coming year
will undoubtedly show a larger de-
ficit than the year just closed.
with a curtailment of buying,
and close attention to advantageous
prices resulting f ON competitive

HIGH FOR 1887

New business secured this year

according to the report of De

the board of directors.
"The usual rule is that IA ger
cent of the amount Of business on
the books must be written annual

require us to write 60 million dol

much in the first six months of the
year"
"A plan initiated last June to
provide monthly installment loan,

surrender o. loan value on certain
certificates not provided Herewith
has received an enthusiastic public
eception, Bradshaw said. The
change affected amout $4,000 mem
bers and already more than $500
members have taken loans totaling
moe than $813,000. Comparatively
few surrendered their policies, he
said, while only "A have taken paid

said.
Detail matters taken before the

OMAHA'S OWN HAS MADE
GOOD: FROM BO0TBLACK
TO DISTRICT JUDGE

As a boy, Judge Arthur C. Thorn
sen shined shoes and sold newspa-
pers on the streets of Omaha TO
help his mother maintain a home
10 himself and brother. He was a
member of the newsboys union
Judge Thomson was born on a
Nebraska farm, and when he was
a small boy his parents removed to
OMAHA, where Judge Thomson has
resided ever since.
In those days, boys carried black
ing boxes over their shoulders, and
when they saw a man with soiled
boots, they asked for the job of
cleansing them. With brushes and
cloths the shine boy got busy, and
when the job was done his pay
was based ON the generosity of the
employer. Nickles and dimes, earn
ed in this way, were added to others
earned from selling daily papers, to
help fill the family Ia der.
Judge Thomson worked his way
through the grade and high schools
and the University of Omaha law
school. After some years in pract-
ice, he se=ved as a professor, with
out pay, at his alma mater, and
upon the death of the late Judge A.
C. Troup, some years ago, he was
elected as Dean Of the law school
which position he now holds.
Judge Thomson served as an Of
ficer in the balloon division of the
aviation section during the world
wa. He is nov serving his eighth
year as Judge of the District
Court, and recently lawyers in the
fourth judicial district endorsed
him for reelection this fall.
