Public Printing
The Casper Tribune, whose editor

experience. notes as many others have
IN looking over the newspapers pub
isned In he several towns and coun-
ties OF the state, hal there is a woe
tul lack of uniformity in the style OF
the publication of the proceedings OF
the boards of county commissioners
and town trustees of the several towns
and cities of the state.
This Is no particular fault of the
omcers have such matter in charge,
but simply a difference in the under
standing the respective officers have
Of the requirements of the law with
reference to this matter.
Brother Mokler suggests that State
Examiner Henderson should formulate,
prescribe and install a system of re.
porting the proceedings of town coun
ellis, county commissioners and other
reports of public officers, which are
published according to law at the ex.
pense of the taxpayers, and which is
supposed to convey some information
to the public.
In looking over the proceedings OF
the different town councils and the
county commissioners of the state, we
hnd that each of the several clerks
has a peculiar style of his own in re,
porting the proceedings, and in sever
al cases the reader is left to guess at
what the board has been doing and
for what the taxpayers money has
been expended.
An officer is allowed a certain
amount of money for expense but
what that expense is no one can know
unless he goes to the records and looks
up the bill. The proceedings as pub
lished should impart this information,
and in fact the proceedings of the
county and town boards are publish
ed for the purpose of informing the
taxpayers what they are paying for
salaries, freight, express. postage. liv-
cry hire. board of prisoners and care of
paupers. stationery, printing, books
and everything else. and these bills
should be classified and published so
as to present to the taxpayers the
salient features in a comprehensive
form.
The looter and the CRATER is afraid
OF q published detailed statement OF
his expense, and so long as the boards
Throughout the state allow him to cov-
|er up his bills by publishing that he
was allowed a certain amount for Tex
pense" so long will he continue to
graft and loot the county treasury. A
detailed statement is equally due to
the honest and efficient public servant
who has faithfully executed the duties
intrusted to him.--Sheridan Post.
increase In Agriculture
A pleasing indication of a brilliant
future for the valley and Centennial,
10 the tendency on the part of the
ranchmen in this district to turn their
attention more to agriculture. There
will be a larger area of land sow to
grain this year than at any previous
time since the settlement of the val

consideration among this years crops,
