Railroad Man Says It Would Waste

LEGISLATION to require state or federal
inspection of railroad engines was OPP
posed as unnecessary and useless ex-
pense before the House interstate com
merce committee yesterday by B. F.
Crawford, superintendent of motive pow
err of the Pennsylvania railroad lines west
of Pittsburgh.
Mr.. Crawford declared the many thou

elsewhere, as the railroads own system
of inspection was much more effective.

ARKANSAS PRESS
 ASSOCIATION
THE BUSINESS MEETING

S)ClatiOn met m Little ROCK last Thursday at the annual Febru- asy meeting.
 After taking in eleven new members, the association got down to business and endorsed bill to make public matters real ly public. The main purpose of the bill is to secure the dessemi nation or knowledge among the people of Arkansas concerning important official matters which in past often have lain dormant in various public offices accessible l only to lawyers or to those whose i interest was pressing enough to force upon them the expense in- cident to visit to the office and | a search through the document files.
 In addition to bringing public acts to, public knowlege so the people can see in the papers what is being done, the bill is also de- signed to reduce the expense of publishing in document form. The majority of the more pro- gressiVe states of the country have such laws upon their statute books.
 Itis absurd for soverign to hold that every person presum- ed to know the law without giv- ing such person an opportunity to know the law.
 It is not fair nor reasona ole for the courts to hoId.that ignorance of the law excuses no one and that every one is presumed to know what the law is, when un- der tie present status of affairs, il Is several months after the ad- i2urument of the legislature be- fore any one can ascertain what r laws have been passed without a personal inspection of these law ! 4s filed in the office of the Sec ratary of State, and all of us have I not the time to visit the Seere- tary of States office to see what the law is. It would give more | publicity and be much cheaper U nave the laws or a synopsis of same published in the papers.
 Section 1483 of Kirby's Digest r. quifing the County Court of each county at the close of each rm to post a statement on the q )0r of of the courthouse giving d atement of all sums of morey allowed and for what purpose. . The people should not be required to go to the door of the court h aae t. ascertain by this ancient method what allowances have been made against the public funds. If people knew that the whole pubic would see from the papers what accounts they had filed against the counties there is no doubt that many accounts that are now filed would not be ti,ed at all: and, many of them would be reduced. The people have the right to know how their taxes are spent and who receives the money and for what purpose.
 Section 6 requires the Com missioners of Accounts to pub hsh copy of the report which they are required under Section 635 of Kirby's Digest to make to the Circuit Clerk. Anyone who will read this section can readily see how important it is that the people should know the facts contained in these reports. Very little publicity is given to such reports when they are merely filed with the Circuit Clerk.
 Section s simply requires a f- nancial statement to be filed by municipal corporations similar to those now required of county af- fairs as provided for in section 111N nf kirhu,S DineSt Sectinn
