Severa! caseH whtlrein public offiClWS have teached into the funds of public trea.sureries and pulled out :..·ather iarge ilancitws of tax monies, nave o.;cu.-reu. uudug i.lle past year. .1:1ow ...n~ we, the t&J..payers, going w ".ll.c&.Q ott" tlus prtl.ctice, wmch i .. altog.:tller too coLUuon in these days. '.L·nel:e is only one way, one etfective way, in whlc.ll. a "round about tace" step can be accomplished, !>O far as we .KllOW. That is the searcWigh' oi publicity. A bill has been introduced L..1to the presem Utah legislature seeKing to stay tne "publicity" which tnt: law now states shall be given to the expendlture of public fund,s. 'lhhl is a very oppo:rtune time to introduce such a bill. No man will ~::ver oe able to convince the taxpayers that they need not know bow .. ax monies are benng expended They may be foolish enough to try this oft ·tried stunt, but where one is a stockholder in state, county or school district, he certainly is entitled to know just what every penny is expende!l fo1·, to whom, what for and 11ow much. No det:p thinking, honest legislator will ever vote to turn public funds over to any body of men, no matter how honest they may appear to be, without providing a constant check on those funds. The onl:y' way to interest the taxpayers as a body in the expenditul·e of "their money" is to place before them frequently a statement of their account, showing the amount on hand, the amount expended, and who received the money, The Deseret News of Salt Lake City under date of Jan. 14th, 1929, has the following to say editorially on the matter: THE "OOUNTBY PRESS" IN ACTION "The Utah Press association, whose members are engaged in the businese of molding public opinion as well as refiecting it, are clearly expressing popular sentiment when they demand 1egislation which shall gu~rantee a .:loser check on public funds and shall prescribe severer penalties for misappropriation of them. Small wonder; m view of recent sensational events, that the people of the state should be fOused to a pitcll of righeous indignation over inexcusable laxity in methods, gross dishonesty in officials and generally inadequate punishments The editors of the papers constituting the state press association merely make this popular anger articulate; and when they announce their intention of using their columns in securing the legislative changes requested it is a dumb, stubborn and defiant set of lawmakers that will dare to deny their demand "Nobody is big enough to be able to afford to ignore what is called the ·country press' though some 'smart' people are 80 ignorant as to try to treat it contemptuously. The country newspaper with the courage of its ~onvictions and the ability to give ~hem utterance, wields a power that 1s more otten felt than seen. In a very definite sense it is the keeper of the conscience of Ita constituents. If it lives up to the enjoyment of ita prerogatives It is the recognized "champion of that which is wholesome and aound and beneficial; it is the outspoken and vigilant foe of stagna.. tlon and evil. Many a rural community has been made widely and favorably known by the quality of its local newspaper. Many a leader of extended fame and high repute has graduated to his greater honors from the columns of the 'country press.' Jllveryone In the Midvale Platoon School Ia very much interested in a eourt which has been organized amoag the pupils, This court is conducted as near like a real court as it Ia possible for young people to make it.
