PUBLICITY FAVORED

FOR THE PUBLICITY ACT.
Believes Every Public official Should
Make Full and Complete Account

People.

w. w. Waters, secretary of the Ar
kansas State Fair Association, and
former mayor Of Hot Springs, is one
of the enthusiasts locally in the mat
ter of support for Act No. 8, or what
is known generally as the publicity
act" The act is one which requires
that publicity be given all along the
line by the stewards of public affairs
Mr.. Waters says on this subject:
Il am cordially in favor OF the prln-
ciples emphasized by Act No 3, the
publicity act, because these principles
are in accord with the policy | have
always observed in public office.
have always considered that the peo-
pie generally, and the tax payers in
particular, were entitled to a full
knowledge OF what was being done
with public funds and for pubic wei
fare.
Il do not go so far as to infer. or
assume that Act No. 3 is a perfect
measure as 1t now stands. Few laws
are perfect until tried and adapted.
When this act Is actually put on trial,
it may be found that certain changes
and adjustments in some OF its terms
are desirable or necessary. If this
should prove to be the case, Act No.
3, as | understand ii, can be amended
aud adapted to whatever needs eXpe-
rience may show to be beneficial,
