report that will not bear public inspec-

ANYTHING, in the list Of expenditures
that would not bear public gaze? The
fact that the report is now "lost" has
aroused a serious suspicion in the minds
of the people. Why would it be spirited
awayY What would any one want with
the report unless to inspect or change itH
The disappearance of that report is about
as brazen piece of business as has been
attempted in Stark county in long
time. The report is long overdue: it has
been undergoing careful inspection for a
good many days: it was discussed in
private: it was talked over. When 10!

Give the People Full Business.


Several weeks ago this paper, in behalf
of the people, and with law on our side,
asked the county commissioners to make
a detailed report of the business of the
county. The articles on this point called
forth ready response from all quarters
of the county. The reports that have been
published heretofore have been next
to meaningless and convey no accurate
information to the taxpayers. Big sums
of money are accounted for. under a sin
gle, innocent looking head, while perhaps
two hundred items go to maze up this
total. Andthe report is full of such in
stances TWAS to remedy this, to give the
people chance to learn where EVERY
dollar of their money went and WHO
got it, and for what, that we called for
detailed report.
The county commissioners are surely
aware that there are deep murmurings all
over the county In regard to public ex-
penses. The funds in the treasurer's office
are overdrawn and county warrants are
out all over the county, stamped mot
paid for want of funds. Where have the
funds gone to? This is the all-import-
ant question and as it is the peoples
money the people have right to know
who got every cent of expenditure and
what said money was expended FOR.
In fact the commissioners are bound by
law to furnish the people with just such
an annual statement. Why do not the
commissioners do it?
The News Democrat does not make
any charges, We know of the public
talk, however, and know that THE
PEOPLE WANT TO SEE THE
BOOKS. All of the present board are
not involveu IN the report at issue. OF
the gentlemen who composed the board,
we have always entertained the highest
opinion: their honesty and BUSINESS
character has been beyond reproach and
we hesitate to believe the rumors in cir
culation concerning their official actions.
We would rather not believe them, yet we
see but one course open that will satisfy
the public-publish a detailed report. 1t
is not too late. Check up each item.
The excuse of extra cost will not avail:
the people want to know the full facts.
Will the commissioners deny .hem? Will
the suspicion that is in the public mind
be increased by a meaningless reportY
Allay all talk; settle the whole matter
throw the entire facts before the pub
lie; turn on the light Of publicity. II
there is nothing wrong, all the better for
wrong, the people want to know it. If
the commissioners are responsive to the
wish OF the people, they will at once and
without further delay order prepared and
published q detailed report of the busi-
ness of the people,

The People Want to See the Books.
So Prosecuting Attorney Bow thinks
the law has been complied with in the
present contracted and curtailed commits
sioners' report The News Democrat en-
tertains an entirely different opinion, and
so do the people of Canton and Stark
county. The report just issued is abso-
utely meaningless so far as the ability Of
the taxpayers go to learn WHERE the
money went and WHO got 1t. Surely
the prosecutor knows this and he places a
'ery peculiar construction on the mean
ng Of the law when he says the law has
been complied with, when the said COM
plianoe does not in any way give the
people what the law contemplated. When
the law on the subject Of commissioners
report was enacted, it was intended that
through this report the people and tax
payers should learn of the business trans
cations of the county-in fact, learn how
THEIR agents, the commissioners had
transacted THEIR business. The idea
of the law was that the people had full
right to know all about their own affairs,
just as a proprietor of manufactory has
a right to ask his employees for a full re-
port of the business. There is no ques.
tion but that the law has not been com
piled with, Prosecutor Bow to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.

Show the Figures,

Why are the commissioners silent on
the proposition Of the News Democrat to
publish detailed commissioners report
at 90 cents per inchf This offer does
away at one stroke with the excuse
of expense. The item OF "S6, 900 ex-
pense" removed, the commissioners can
not ignore the matter, any longer The
attempt to treat the offer with silence and
contempt will not be accepted by the
people and taxpayers. The official organ
the Repository, said tho reason urged

The report of the board of examiners of
the county commissioners yearly work,
curtailed as it is, proves astounding.
The members of the old board were indi-
vidually considered men of the highest
integrity. Hence does the remonstrance
Of the examiners, on charges claimed to
be extortionate by the board of commits
sioners, and along lines over which there
does not appear to be much room for
evasion, through legal technicalities,
come with surprising force. There is
need of immediate explanation and of the
fullest character. The whole affair puts
a bad taste in the public mouth. 1t re-
mains for the interested parties to eradi-
cate the last vestige Of this, II possible,
and this can be accomplished in no better
manner than in the publication of de-
tailed statement of the years work
Meanwhile public judgment should be
kindly suspended.

MISSIONERS REPORT TIE
DEMOCRAT PUBLISHING co.
MAKES AN OFFER,

The News Democrat has made a care
ful study of the commissioners report
and it is as meaningless as reports here
tofors issued. Prosecutor Bow, in an
interview in the Repository, the
official organ says that "when the docu-
ment is placed before the people it will
show whether or not it is similar to those
which have been previously made by
county commissioners. True enough:
and this is just what the taxpayers are
complaining of. The reports have been
so Curtailed as to convey almost no in
formation. The report at hand is no i'm
provement; it is precedent" but behind
precedent the people want to see. Under
general head vast sums of the peoples
money are Jumped. WHO got the money,
HOW much and WHAT for, no mortal
man can tell The information. the people
want they cannot get from the report just
issued: of course the gross sum expended
appears: so do several department expen-
dltures but what the people want to
know and see Isl WHO GOT IT-WHAT
FOR-HOW MUCH?
The official organ further says:
In line with Prosecutor Bows remarks
II is learned by a reporter that If an alb
sOlutely itemized report were published
it would mean an additional cost Of
almost 50, 900 to the county and that 1t
is sought to avoid this expense.
So it is expense" that is deterring the
commissioners from giving the people the
information. All of a sudden the board
is seized with wonderful spasm of econ
omy All of sudden the peoples money
becomes quite an object it can't be
squandered, not a bit of it: q detailed re-
port would cost too much, at least S5, 900
additional

expense. Now, If the board of commits
