A somewhat similar Instance has
occurred In Seattle, where Horace C.

He ,will ; not only give this
land, but has promised to pay for

A PROFIT ABLK VETO V.
ATOR SIMON'S veto of the
public printing contract will
result In a saving of several
thousand dollars to the city,
and Is to the executive's "credit. Six
cents an Inch for printing is a bet
ter arrangement for the city than
the 25 cents at which tho contract
was originally awarded by the'eoun-
Curlonsly enough, the 6 cent
bid that came from the read vertlae-
ment -following' the executive' veto Is
from the same publication to which
the 25 cent contract was awarded.
The outcome compels the councllmen
who made " it to confess that In
awarding the original contract they
were Jn error.
Representative Cox has Introduced
a bill reducing the mileage of mem
bers of congress from 20 cents to 5
cents a mile, saying . In Its Support
that the smaller sum will cover all
the' expenses of travel to and from
Washington, Including Pullman fare
and meals, and that the balance, 15
cents a tnilerie pure graf fc Ile Is
right, but he will pot get much sui
port for his bill. Perhaps he knew
that" when" fce" Introduced rHT The
average congressman will hang onto
that 15 cents a mile. For an Ore
gon or, Washington congressman, if
be makes only one round trip a year,
It amounts to about $1000. The
mileage was not originally intended
as a supplement to salaries, but i
allowed when congressmen had to
get to Washington by stage coaches
and boats, and traveling was slow
and expensive. But It has long been
