In its military history, Ballou said, the United States has made every, mistake possible and many of its! grievous errors have been made over and over again.

GRASS LAKE’S ANSWER Wilton, N. Dak., May 12th, 1932. Editor, Tribune: In regard to the practice of the school board of Grass Lake township advertising for bids for teachers, I | note that this has aroused Mr. H. |Saxvik, superintendent of the Bis- jmarck public schools. I suppose that jhe is getting afraid that this practice ill go a little farther as far as pub- jlic offices are concerned. I suppose that he will get a law through to stop this practice. I think all public offices should be let on bids, then it would give some | poor fellow a chance to get a job. It would also help out other employes in the office as there would be less graft and politics. You would not, under this plan, have to have a “pull” to get |& job at a high salary. Then again Mr, Saxvik says that salary rather than qualifications are |the consideration in the Grass Lake plan. Now I cannot see it that way. The qualifications come with the bid land these qualifications are just the same whether the teacher gets her job through bidding or by correspond- jing direct with the school board. If | she is good in one way she is just as jgcod in the other way. Anyway, it shows that there are many teachers in the state willing to work for much |less money than they are now being paid. It is not always the high paid teacher who is the best teacher. Some of the best workers I have seen are |those who work for ordinary wages. Why is it that all public work, such las state highway and county work, has to be advertised for? Is it not let on bids, Mr. Saxvik? The answer to that is that the state and county of- ficials want to get the work done as cheaply as possible. Even at that, some contractors go broke and on much of our public work common labor is kept down because the surplus of such labor. Now it is just the same with teach- lers and all official help. I say put them all on bids and then our taxes | will soon come down. I am sure they will work just as hard if not harder than they do now. Under this sys- tem it will not be any politics that {gets them the job but only qualifica- | tions. ‘There are a lot of people out of jobs who are more qualified than those holding jobs now.

Are they not part of the American public, Mr. Saxvik? Don’t be too sure that this practice won't be pretty general. Now as to the tax rate. Mr. Saxvik says that Ecklund and Grass Lake town- ships have not got a high tax rate. Yes, that is true, and it is true be- cause we have been conservative in our business and we keep our taxes down. But I suppose that Mr. Sax- vik would like to have us run ex- penses so high that we will use all of our 14 mill limit. Then he says that there are 21 school districts in the county that have a maximum tax levy. I do not think that this is any credit to them. Also I think that Grass Lake township has just as good schools as the 21 others, only that we do. OSCAR BACHMAN, Grass Lake School District.
