The Register has often wondered
why there is no law compelling the
publication of the proceedings of the
city and town councils in various
Mississippi towns. People who pay
taxes surely have a right to know
how their money is spent and where
it goes to, without having to attend
every council meeting or depend up
on the charity of the local paper to
publish it for gratis. There is a law
which requires the publication of an
annual report which Jumps the whole
business and shows so many dollars
received and paid out, but even this
flaw is not carried out by one half Of
the town councils of the State. Pub
promotes economy which is
rightfully demanded by the people
who pay taxes, and if John Smith
gets s. of public money the public
has right to know what he got it
for. Scott County Register.
I'm the public interest, publication
of the official proceedings of every
town council and beard of supervis-
ors in the State should be made COM
pulsory, and no expenditure for the
public service could result in great
er advantage than this. The tax pay
crs the people generally have right
to know everything that is done by
the locel legislature municipal and
county and should compel detailed
publication of these proceedings. 1t
is done in most of the States and
should he done in Mississippi
1t is unreasonable to ask the local
paper to make these publications gra
It's and the press of the State could
easily secure the passage of a law in
this behalf by the legislature by unit
ing in an i ,telligent presentation of
it's merits and urging their recogni-
ton upon the law makers.
I'm many counties the board of SUI
previsors do not pay for the publica-
ton of a single line of their proceed
ing, not even publishing financial
statement, showing receipts and dis
bursmeats. Unless some well dispos-
ed newspaper print sch things for
nothing the people are absolutely in
the dark as to what those entrusted
with the administration of their
most vital affairs are doing, what
laws are passed. what money is spent
and for what purpose.
That is all wrong and needs rem
edy; and no reasonable taxpayer will
object to any law law compelling pub
licity of these proceeding of local adj
ruinistrative and law making bodies.

Congressman John Sharp Williams
has introduced several significant
bills into the House, which probably
indicates the course of minority dur
ing the session. The most important
measures are bills for tariff reform,
prohibiting corporations from contri
buting funds to political parties, and
providing for an income tax. Mr..
Williams also introduced another
! bill which at this time has particular
interest to Mississippi. 1t provides
for an amendment of the Dinglcy act
