Show Strikes Home. The local newspapers of Utah are well managed, neatly printed and admirably edited, yet we cannot venture to assert that they arc supported sup-ported as they should be. As a rule local newspapers struggle most woefully to meet their paper bills, rent, etc., while other business houses revel in wealth and ilourish. These mighty vehicles of learning, information and advertising, should be the most prosperous institutions of towns and cities, but wc generally gener-ally find them located in the worst structures imaginable, while the saloon, hotel, store and bank occupy occu-py the finest buildings. This is not due to any lack of business enterprise on the part of newspaper men, for they usually work twenty hours out of the twenty-four and die young from overwork and too much free advertising. It is time business men take interest in their respective papers and tender them the support they deserve. Every dollar paid the printers is expended in the improvement of the paper, and a dollar in your pockets does not help pay bills worth a cent. American Fork Independent. |
