Senator Hiram Johnson is the victim of his own captious style of campaigning. His attitude in California when Charles E. Hughes was a presidential candidate has been fittingly rebuked. The rule or ruin policy seldom wins. Destructive criticism builds no foundations of Political permanency. A nation is becoming surfeited with the kind of activity congr is now engaged in.

Some very interesting instances of how inefficiency of the various officials of the political subdivisions costs the xpayers dearly each year were brought home keenly re- in the addresses delivered before Rotary, Kiwanis and Lion clubs over the state by private tax experts. Thousands of dollars have been saved annually by these agents in cor- recting mistakes committed by elective officials The authority of the state examiners should be extended and their duties made more explicit and the investigations more intensive. More frequent examinations and the careful checking up of contracts and bids for public work in every department of government would save the tax payers of North Dakota great sums yearly. Expense of these examinations can be borne by the poli- tical subdivisions involved and the saving honest efficient eximiners would effect would far outweigh any cost. An entirely new system of purchas ng supplies for public offices should be devised. Until recently, for instance, county auditors were supreme in the purchase of most printing sup- plies. Bids were seldom asked. In some counties election supplies were furnished by certain publishing plants at fabu- lous prices. The last session of the legislature passed a law requiring bids for certain classes of public printing. Some counties advertised for bids and others have ignored the law and through skillful tactics evade its spirit. Bids recently opened compared to prices charged under the old scheme indict some county officials of either ineffici- . ency or down-right dishonesty. In Burleigh county the prices paid by County Auditor Johnson to certain Fargo concerns for work which could be done in Bismarck as well and as cheaply by the four or five local printing establishments are shown to be excessive in comparison to the prices given recently under the compe- titive bidding process. It is incumbent upon the County Commissioners to fol- low more closely this matter of purchase of all supplies and see to it that these bids are not mere subterfuge and that ‘work not strictly within the content of these bids but of the same character is not let at a figure other than is named in the strict letter of the contract. Here is a most fertile field for the tax students who are seeking to cut down expenditures. Eliminate the loose sys- tem of purchasing supplies. The legislature should impose a,uniform system and sce that it'is made efficient by a care- ful audit by state officials to see that supplies are furnished at contract prices and no excess supplies are allowed at . higher figures to pad up the great difference over. prices for- i merly charged. An incident in Burleigh county that should arouse local ' taxpayers illustrates the case very well. County Auditor Johnsen under the old system of letting work without bids to concerns at Fargo paid $610 for assessment supplies. The other day under competitive bidding which The Tribune has advocated, he secured the same supplies for $60. It behooves the county commissioners to see that the county auditor purghase all supplies at the lowest figure so that the fax ‘1, Payers may find their burdens lighter. He The Tribune hopes that another legislative session will :not go by without provision being made for a more careful checking up of tax levies, and especially of contracts for : public work and the purchase of supplies.. It is a sad com- mentary. that this work must be left to volunteer agents.
