Illinois Valley News, Thursday, January 30, 1941 Page Four Illinois Valley News An independent newspaper devoted to the development of the richest valley in the world, the Illinois Valley and ita surrounding districts. Published every Thursday at Cave Junction, Oregon by the Illinois Valley Publishing Company. Entered as second-class matter June 11, 1937, at the Post Office at Cave Junction, Oregon, under the act of March 3. 1879 M C ATHEY ........................................................................................ Editor SUBSCRIPTION PRICES In Josephine County $150 .75 50 finn Ypar you will be doing what all well regulated business in­ stitutions do in making purchases on a scale as large as the county’s business. The bidding system has no merit. A good pur­ chasing agent has. We hope the county court will give this serious consideration. We do not believe it will cost the county a cent more for honest merchan­ dise. and we do believe that it will be quite acceptable to all honest merchants. ----------------- o----------------- HELPING ENGLAND Outaide of Josephine County NOW there is BO question but what the above statement is true; so if we insist on restocking this , lake, from time to time, why stop fishermen from taking out the large ones? As I have stated: I | have been at the lake many times, | (call them educational trips, if you wish) and I have never seen j but a few fingerlings in it, and what few I did see were along the ■ shore in very shallow waters, out [ of the reach of the larger fish. A i large number of the News readers, | with whom I have talked, want more of my writings along this line and I shall try to gratify their wishes.

I joined for the simple reason that I under­ stood the club stood for conserva­ tion and rehabilitization of wild­ life. Today I believe that is the aim of most of our members, and it is my aim to contribute all in my power to that end; but I can not conceive how we are going to accomplish much in the way we are proceeding. The fact that our order has been successful in ac­ quiring help, thru the Fish and Game Commission, of getting a goodly amount of young fish, for planting in our waters, does not signify that we are getting much of anywhere, only as a gesture. At Your Grocer 0 When the county commissioners put into effect their bidding system, whereby all material for county use must be put out for bids, it was hoped that some saving to the county’s treasury might be effected. This, however, has not been the general rule, and the county has paid dearl ’ for some of the material it has received on cheap I ids. The county, like any other business will get just what it pays for. No one is going to take it on the chin just to accommodate the county treasury. In our opinion, what this county needs is a pur­ chasing agent. One of the county commissioners could act in this capacity and all purchases for the county be made through this office. Either one of the present county commissioners could act in this capacity, as both of them are experienced business men and know business methods and how to deal with merchants in the county an 1 state Both of them know an honest price for honest merchandise, and the county should not ask ; nything other than that. Every merchant has the right to make an honest prof­ it from the county’s business. However, with the bid- .leenis objectionable. Advertising rates on a to mainain a democracy as long as we have.
