will continue in business just as Til
lotson and Kemper assert
Takes Shot at Stubs.
Finally, I don't agree with Mr.
Stubs that every county in Kansas
needs a tax league, because 1 don [
believe that pubic money is misap-
Piled Incorporated, or extrava-
gantly used in many places in Kansas
for two very good reasons. FIRST, pc
cause it is practically impossible for
any official to do so, unless 1t is where
they have contingent funds, and, sec
ondIy, because I believe the majority
of public officials in Kansas are hon
est, and most of them can be so with
out blowing about 1t.
ssOne other suggestion. The league
is welcome to investigate the acts OF
the board all it wants to, but for their
information l want to say that the
county auditors report showing in de-
tail every nickel spent each month is
published in the official county paper
at considerable expense. By consult
ing that you will get full account OF
county expenditures
Long may the tax league live, and
let Kemper and TillotsOn run for OF
flee as often as they want to- That $
their business. If they must be preSl-
dent and vice president of something
as well the tax league as anything.
"Simms, O'Nen and Sinner constl-
tute the present county board, and so
long as their tenure lasts they will en-
deavor to conduct the county business
economically, fearlessly and impartial
Iy. and without much attention to the
transforming of Kemper and Tillot-
son.
Eyes, the tax league ought to go out
of business, for it is giving the town a
black eye. and it ought to be denied
free use of the court room, for It costs
money to heat and light it this time OF
year, and it's an imposition on other
taxpayers, the majority of whom take
a reasonable view of the tax situation,
and besides the court house is open
six days in the week for inspection OF
public records
