Young Democrats Select Miami As Site For '61 Convention resolution calling for immediate Congressional action to insure the success of the Administra-tion's minimum wage proposal. The program highlight of the meeting was the Jefferson-Jackso- n Day Dinner hosted by Presi-dent Robert Taylor and Mary-land Young Democrats, with more than 850 in attendance.

Wise, dis-trict director, reminded Utah taxpayers as the April 15 filing deadline nears. He added: "While we natural-ly assume that failure to sign is due to an oversight, we can't accept such returns and are compelled to send them back. "Since our mail is heavy dur-ing the filing season especially during its final weeks the in-complete return may not go back to the taxpayer until days or weeks after he or she has sent it in. "In the case of a taxpayer seeking a refund, an unfortunate delay may result, and, in the case of one owing additional tax and even sending a check to pay it. he can't get credit until the return is completed." Mr. Wise urged taxpayers to sign, one signature for a single person, two for married couples if filing jointly. Also sign the return just like the name or names at the top of the form. Series Explains Public Notices Public notices, or legal adver-tising appear in this and other newspapers regularly, as pro-vided under the laws of all of the states. These notices are a part of the basic right of the people to know what their gov-ernment does with tax money under the American system. Copyright 1961 By James E. Pollard FINANCIAL REPORT (No. 15 in a Series) Spread across most of an in-side page of a "newspaper in an ad measuring about 12 by 15 inches was a detailed financial report. It was the "State of Maine Condensed Summary of Financial Statements" as of June 30 for that year. Under the sig-nature ' of the state controller, it was a detailed presentation of the two main aspects of state finances: a comparative state-ment of operations and a balance sheet. The comparative statement was for two years, the current year and the preceding one. It gave a detailed accounting of the revenues, expenditures and other "amounts available," for the general fund, the highway fund, and other special revenue funds. It then gave the consolidated totals. The balance sheet was similar except that there were twice as many headings. In the vertical column the chief items were recognized assets, liabilities and reserves and surplus. Horizon-- tolly the funds were divided, un-der eight subheads, into "operat-ing" and "other funds." Such financial reports are fairly common also for local gov-ernments, school districts, and other agencies. The one in ques-tion illustrated two important points. One, it was required by state law, and two, it was pub-lished in a bona fide newspaper. This is all part of the funda-mental process of insuring the public's right to know. In this process the newspaper every-where plays a vital role. The word "salary" originally meant "salt money," or earning one's salt. In the days before refrigeration, salt was precious indeed, and getting it sometimes difficult. We still talk about our hard-earne- d savings as money "salted away." life m liy ' viPt -- i ' iihiiiihihiii'11"1"" ii iiiiiMiiimiriiiiiwui)HiwMiuuatftwiiimnwii iiiiim i r handy America's largest selling 6-ye- ar old Kentucky bourbon --in pint flasks conveniently curved to fit your pocket-topp- ed with a goldenjigger cap.
