Senate bill No. 119, will if pjsssj unamended, destroy many of the Indiana county papers and imp? the efficiency of all. Every comm newspaper has a job office and niam I of them small or large book bind# I ies. They now receive a considerable portion of the county printitw and binding and it enables them ( lie Iretter papers than they can ,4 erwise lie and live. Requiring the county papers to bid against the supply houses of the large citiet virtually creates a new trust, taking the work away from all the smai! cities and towns and concentrating it in Indianapolis and Chicago Every one at all familiar with the subject knows that the big hot® present bids that are Chinese puzzles. The smartest business men cum unravel them. They do not turn out as they seem. They are low on s® items, but in the outcome are highin the aggregate. The proposed > form" will not l>e reform, but fraud It will not save the people money.bs will increase expense. Every mania the General Asembly who votes Senate Bill No. 119 in the pm form will find he has made a mistake, and injured his own county to aggrandize Indianapolis or Chicago. It will throw one or more men out of
