THE TAXPAYERS MONEY AND
THE COUNTY BOARD.

In another column OF the Intelll-
gencer today appears a communica-
ton relative to the earnest efforts of
some of the present and former coun-
~ commissioners to escape payment
OF the moneys illegally taken By them
from the County OF Ohio. The state
ment gives the view point of the
average citizen. The people Of Ohio
county have good reason to believe
that they have been systematically
robbed for a number OF years. The
reports OF two auditing bodies have
shown this to be the case. The duty
81 the present commissioners to in
situte proceedings to recover the
money illegally taken is clear and I'M
questionable, and yet they daily along
month after month without institut-
Ing such proceedings, and without
lifting n finger 70 collect the tax.
payers money. II is farce and a
Joke TO talk about these men saving
the cOunty's money and giving econ
omical administration. when at least
one OF them is guilty OF malfeasance
against the county. 1t is a joke for
a county board 10 boast of efficient
administration when it is VIGOROUSLY
lax in protecting the public in
terests in important matters. concern
ing which their duty has been clearly
pointed out by the circuit court. and
by two competent auditing bodies.
The Intelligencer does not expect
that the present board Of the county
commissioners will institute proceed
ings 10 recover this money willingly.
They may in the long run be forced
by public opinion 10 start these pro
ceedings. but they will be driven to
do II If at all against their own in
clination. and IL they start the pro-
ceedings they will pursue them in a
half hearted manner.
Citizens OF Ohio county might IA
well make mp their minds 10 accent
the situation. They have been de-
frauded and robbed and the officials
whom they have chosen 10 protect
their interests. are now protecting
the men who took and hold the coun.
TVS money without warrant.

RECIPROCITY WILL WIN.

Republican insurgents who are pro.
testing against the Canadian Re
ciprocity bill are gradually working
themselves up to a white heat. Sena-
tor Dixon Of Montana serves notice
that he and other recalcitrants may
at any time conclude TO jump the
reservation and Join hands with the
Democrats in demolishing the tariff
entirely. Other kickers are quite as
vicious. However. these gentlemen
are not likely TO receive very much
announcement from the Democratic
minority in the senate Most Of the
Democratic members are committed
on the Reciprocity question. and a
very decided majority Of both Demo
Gratis and Republicans are favorable
20 the Reciprocity bin.
The talk that is now going on in
congress is purely for the consump-
ton OF local constituencies. Il will
not change a vote. II will not affect
the final result. \ canvass of the sen
ate indicates clear majority OF
from 10 to - in favor OF the Recipro-
city bin. President Taft has made a
winning fight and he has back OF him
the large majority OF the American
people. The passage Of the Rccipro-
city treaty will be for him q distinct
personal triumph. whose importance
can hardly be over estimated.
