BARBER & JONES, Publishers


This is the question that is now being agitated by a
large number of our residents in both town and county
and from complaints heard it would be well if an investi-
cation on both county and municipal affairs were had. In
county affairs we believe an investigation of the county
records from the time of its creation would prove of great
benefit in more ways than one to all concerned. and the
same can be said Of municipal affairs here in American
Falls. 1t is reported that the records of our county,
schools, under the term of Supt. Fifield are in, such a
muddled condition as to need the attention of an expert
to put the records in proper shape, which we are informed
our present superintendent is unable to do. Aside from
this, there are other complaints being made to the effect
that the records of other of our county officials will
bear investigation, which warrant the calling of a grand
jury and an expert accountant. AS to the municipal af-
fairs of our town, there is no question but that such an
investigation would prove beneficial to all concerned e-
cept to those who have made such an investigation inevi-
table. Should this procedure take place and no errors II
faulty practice found to ~implicate the accused, they will
be the ones most benefited by such investigation and
they should, for personal pride and self respect, demand
that a grand jury be Immediately called and the records
OF their respective offices be thoroughly investigated
Power County News. rn,
There is both a serious and a humorous side to the
foregoing. The serious thing about it is the possibility
that a few credulous people will jump at conclusions that
there is something wrong with our county or village af-
fairs. So far as the Press is informed there is absolutely
no demand for a grand jury, but it is better to have one
than to have the officials placed in a false light. A grand
jury will not cost much, and the only people who will fear
its calling, are probably a few boot!eggers that thrive
hereabouts. The county officials will welcome any kind
OF an investigation, either public or private. The books
are open to all callers, and the system is so plain and simple
That a person does not have to be a bookkeeper to under
stand 1t. Ii any of those who are anxious for a grand
jury Gf there be any such) will call on Auditor Bulfinch
or Treasurer Rice, they will be only too glad to set their
minds at rest. If they have not the time to do so they
might write to Governor Alexander and request him to
send a state accountant to examine the books. This pro-
cess would not cost the county anything, not even as much
as a bottle of bootleg whiskey.
The humorous phase Of the matter is the statement
that the present county superintendent can not s~traighten
out the books of her predecessor. There is not a sixth
grade pupil in the county who could not do SO. Ali the
money the superintendent handles is the fees for teachers
