So That the People May Know
The recent action of the board of county commissioners in nwnrdlng
the printing of the delinquent tux Hat to the NevvH-Advocnto nt nn ndvnnco
of 80 par cent over the competitive bid of Tho Sun, illustrates the disposi
tion of Commissioners I)iir Hnmllton nnd Albert Bryner to rcjrurd their
public trust In the light of n private snnp. Uurdencd with taxation In
creases, the exnetions growing out of the wnr, and nt a time when every
individual claiming any degree of patriotism is making voluntary sacri
fices in support of the public good, the already oppressed taxpayer of Car
lwn county must rcgnrd contemptuously the spendthrift policy of these
petty politicians, who In order to reward nn apologist of their rotten ad
ministration, add 80 per cent to the legitimate cost of an item of public ex
penditurc. If" Hamilton served his employer -the railroad company Hint way, he
would bo fired without ceremony. The Price concern for which he works
likewise would quickly inform Bryner, the pious, that It would try to wlgglo
along without his services, if ho handled its business as he handles that of
Carbon county. Both of these men have taken an oath that they will faith
fully perform tho duties of their office, yet they virtually donate the pub
lie monoyB to discharge their personul or political obligations to a cheap
politician who manages n publication which advertises thu wife of Hamil
ton ns one of its stockholders.
Was Hamilton actuated by a desire to enhance tho stock vnluu of his
wife's holdings In the favored News-Advocutc, in appropriating more
than two hundred dollar of the public funds not called for by any
public need? If such wns his motive, the people should insist upon the
passage of laws making individuals ineligible for positions of public trust
who nre by marriage made subject to such temptations. After all when
Hamilton npproprintcs money of tho taxpayers to Mrs. Hamilton's cor
poration, is it not substantially equivalent to nn appropriation into his own
capacious popket? To take it himself directly would unquestionably be
considered bad form by soma nnd rank dishonesty by many thoughtful
taxpayers.
Do you think it honest, taxpayers and citizens of Carbon county, that
he should indirectly npproprinto your money, where it Iff made subject to
his own use or the use of his family? And you, Commissioner Bryner,
with full knowledge of thu fact that Hamilton was espousing an appro
priation which would benefit his family, and with the knowlcdgo that you
wcro paying 80 pur cent premium over a competitive bid for thu sumo ser
vice, cast the vote necessary to make thu rotten motion of Hamilton carry.
You knew it was rotten and you knew it was wrong and you knew that it
violated your oath of office.
You nre reputed to be abnormally pious, to in fact ixj.se as the symbol of
righteousness and rectitudo in the community. Let us hope and the
prayorful ones pray that your conception of a public trust does not be
come a community pattern.
