and therefore you are bound to exercise it
In our favor" Ir would be well for those In

Malfeasance in once.

Section of article % of the code pro
vides that the county commissioners OF
each county of the State ''shall make OUT
and publish annually in at least two news
papers published in their respective coun-
ties, if there be two, a detailed minute
and accurate statement Of the expenses OF
their said counties, specifying therein
each particular item of expense, and for
what and to whom paid" This provision
of the law is not merely directory, it is
mandatory, and failure to comply with
it is direct violation of law. The pur-
pose of the act is that the people may he
annually informed exactly how the taxes
they pay have been disbursed, for what
purposes and to whom. The commission
ers of every county OF the State, in which
these officers recognize responsibility to
the taxpayers, always comply carefully
and exactly with the letter and spirit OF
this manifestly just and necessary law and
in these statements show exactly how every
dollar of the peoples money has been dis
bursed.
Let us see how far this law has been
complied with by those who are now di'
recting the affairs of this county. In the
last annual statement, the amount of the
expenses of the county for the fiscal year
ending June 30th. 1888. are shown to have
been, excluding the amountpf State taxes
$26. 524 55. OF this sum no account is
given of the disbursement of $14,545 80
considerably over half of the whole sum

ney is accounted for in the following man

In the Statement for 1882 the same items
occur in the same manner, except that it
is there shown how and to whom the $545,
so for registration was paid The sum of
$4,000 90 which must be added the sum
of $1,000 borrowed of Mr.. Tubmsn in that
year and not accounted for) making in all
$4,000 was then also not accounted for
in compliance with law. Thus in two
years we have the enormous sum of $685.
545 so not accounted for in compliance
with law. While the statement is length
ed out by giving the details of every ten
cents paid for load of brush or for a crow
scalp or hawk bill, these large sums are
cody put down without any account at
all of their disbursement. These are some
