Show THE COUNTY PRINTING. The new board of county commissioners commis-sioners at Its first meeting lust week turned the Chronicle down on the county printing. Commissioner Nixon appeared to be the title who objected to giving any of the work to the Chronicle. Now the Chronicle don't want to hog everything. It don't expect three or four members of lis family to draw salaries from the county and then get ull the advertising and job work from tlie county as well. Hut us a newspaper news-paper which Is read by nearly everybody every-body in the county, as a paper which Is doing more than any other agency to advertise the resources and help develop the county, it Is entitled to a share In the patronage of the county. Isn't the benefit the county Is receiving receiv-ing from the work of the Chronicle worth more than the few dollars wages the Chronicle might pay out If it had a printing press In Fillmore? Why shouldn't Commissioner Itoblson Insist that It have a print, ng office at Hinckley and spend wages there, or Commissioner !!uhuell Insist that It have an office at Meadow? We think this is a pretty narrow way to look at It. The Chronicle Is a public Institution. There Isn't any doubt that its work will be of benefit to every tax payer in the county. All-ready All-ready more enquiries lire coming In about Millard County than In any! previous six months In Its History. The editor of the Chronicle has five tlmus as much invested In Millard County us the Progress lleview has, and In the past four months has paid out more hard cash there than the Progress Review Re-view has paid out In cash wages for the whole of the year 1910. This It In addition to compensation paid at Fillmore, Fill-more, w hlcb has been no small amount. The Chronicle doesn't blame the-Progress the-Progress Keview for taking all ltcan get. Hut we do blame the conlmls-slouers conlmls-slouers for a narrow view of thViigs In looking upon the pultrytttuuuQtVf waBPlvfald out by the jjit.giess Re-Tlew.aJot Re-Tlew.aJot greater luipance thai. iircer-vrrrk- fcrtwirtlutitf for all tfle tax payers of the county by the Chronicle. Chron-icle. The Chronicle isn't asking for any subsidy. It Isn't asking for all the county printing. If it can't do better job printing at equally low or lower prices, It will not ask for any. It It can't give wider circulation to any county advertising than any other paper, give It elsewhere. All the Chronicle asks Is an even break and a fair deal. We believe the taxpayers of the county will not consider It a fair deal to have the Chronicle, their county paper, turned down for the benefit of a little Fillmore pa r, w hen the county seat already absorbs nearly all the salaries paid by the tax payers. The Chronicle desires to serve as the paper of the whole county and consistently serve all Its friends. Hut If a few narrow minded people on the east side projMise to hog everything, the Chronicle will start a fight that In a year or two will make Fillmore look like a last year's bird s nest. |
