LAW PROVIDES
FOR PUBLICATION
OF SCHOOL REPORT
PRINTING OF ITEMIZED STATE
MENT OF ALL RECEIPTS AND
EXPENDITURES OF SCHOOL
DISTRICTS MADE MANDATORY
BY LAST LEGISLATURE.

Like all other institutions the public
schools have been hit by the prevail
ing Tightening process of getting back
to normalcy. This condition goes
hard with the average citizen who
holds sthe public school system as
nearest to his heart. He may be in
different as to how go the other af-
fairs of public administration but
with the schools it is different.
Numbers of the best towns in Ida
no are struggling with present prob
lens of how to keep their schools
running. Notably among these are
Arco, Twin Falls, Buhl and Nampa
which are rich and populous with
communities surrounding them also
rich. These have found it necessary
to eliminate unnecessary expenses in
answer to the demands that expendi-
lures be held within resources. Orna-
mental teachers and unessential sub
jects have been ruthlessly cut out.
Taxpayers are insisting that there
shall be no idlers among the teachers
but that all shall be employed all the
time.
Moreover it is insisted that the pub
lie be taken into the confidence of
school administrators by detailed pub
lications of school affairs, for what
and TO whom school moneys are paid
and from what sources they are de-
rived. The last legislature of the
state of Idaho, needing this demand
passed a mandatory law to the same
end, which is found at Paragraph 1S
Section 46, Chapter 219, as follows:
iu ha ,la,txr nc tla
School Trustees to make report
in writing on the first day of July,
OF the financial condition of their
respective school districts, show
ing the amount of money receiv-
ed, from what source, the amount
expended, and in what manner
and the amount of money in the.
treasury Of the district or to the
credit of the district on hand at
the date of the report, the said re-
port to show in full the financial
condition of the district at the
date hereof; Provided, That the
report of any expenditures shall
contain the specific items,
amounts and the names to whom
such expenditures were made. 1t
is hereby made the duty of the
School Trustees of such district
to cause said report to be posted
in three CD conspicuous places
in the district, one % of which
shall be posted on the schoolhouse
door of said district, and to retain
q copy of said report in the Of
flee of the clerk of the school
board, to be open at all times to
examination and inspection by
any person; Provided, That when
ever a newspaper of general cir
culation is published within said
said district, the said financial re-
port shall in addition to being
posted, shall be published in one
issue of said paper.
By the publication of this report
school boards take the district fully
into their confidence and obviate any
danger of criticism.
1t must be said that this provision
of law is wise and timely. 1t should
be fully and cheerfully complied with
and not eyaded

The most famous stage play ever
put on the screen-SHORE ACRES.
The nonpartisan leader., 1921-04-18

The above letters represent views of
readers of the Leader. To make the
stand Of the Leader clear again we
will repeat what we have said before.
We do not oppose the Farm Bureaus
or any other organization of farmers.
We believe, however, that the Farm
Bureaus make mistake by permit
ting bankers, lawyers and other men
who are not working farmers to be-
come members because these men, who
have much more time to devote to
such affairs than working farmers, Of
ten are able to gain control, although
they may constitute only a small per-
centage Of the actual membership.
Furthermore the Leader has pointed
out that national officers of the Amer
lean Farm Bureau federation have
consistently used their position in an
effort to line the organization up with
big business and against the working
people of the cities, who are the nat
ural political allies of the working
people of the country. We believe in
many instances the local Farm Bu-
reaus have done good for the farmer,
where progressive farmers have taken
the lead and have not allowed anti
farmer interests to control. Whether
the progressive farmers can control
the state and national federations re-
mains to be seen.-THE EDITOR.

is q . " . -.
cality, crop improvement, health inn
provement, community spirit, etc.
These and many other statistics will
all help the farmer directly or .indi-
rectly through the welfare of his city
brother. Facts thus gathered will be
as useful for the League worker as if
they had been gathered by the League
direct and they will have the addi-
tional value Of being acceptable to
many who will not listen to League
statistics. Further than that, if gath
cred impartially the facts will either
prove or disprove our contentious and
in either case they will be welcome if
we are sincere in our declaration that
we are striving for impartial justice
and fair play to all.

THE MONEY QUESTION

Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Why
is not more said about the money
question? The government makes all
of the money and all the people are
back of it, but few have control of
most of it. Is this kind of condition
right? Is it just? How long can it
continue? Suppose some force was
juggling with the blood that runs in
our veins. Would or could the heart
work right? Unless the blood circu-
lates freely we can not have healthy
body. Hence our slogan: Money,
blood of the nation.
Let the people own the banks. The
making and distributing of money is
a government right and not a private
one. Make it crime to run a private
bank the same as it would be to run
private postoffice. We can see the eff
feet of private banking. They are
surely giving us just now demonstra-
ton with vengeance-expand and con-
tract the currency at will. So when
ever they get the people in cramped
position to make it impossible to meet
obligations.
A grain of corn can produce more
corn. A grain Of wheat or anything
that has got the germ of life within
itself-this we call natural increase,
or profit.
But the dollar should be used for a
medium Of exchange and nothing else.
, We claim that interest on money has
got the seed of ruination in itself.
Here is concrete example: Suppos-
ing there was $1,000 and that was all
the money. Some private party would
loan it at 10 per cent. A got $3.50, B
got $3.50, c got $3.50 and D got $3.50.
When A comes to settle it would be
$275 instead of $3.50. Likewise B and
G. But when D comes to settle his ac-
count after getting all the money in
circulation, which would be only SITS,
D would still be short $1OO. We can
see where this kind of profteering has
led US to. .. &c.,.
There are men that seem to be hon
est, but are all the time doctoring ef-
feet instead of cause. If it thunders
we naturally look for storm. What
is the matter with us is that we can
not make the same application when
we see the unrest all over the world

AGAINST THE BUREAUS

Editor Nonpartisan Leader: The
Cleveland Press recently had this:
Miss Helen Keller, who is deaf, dumb
and blind, was asked this question the
other day in Cleveland, (which is the
greatest Of these human Affections ?"
Miss Keller replied:
"None of them is the greatest afflic-
tion!"
"What, then, is the greatest human
affliction?" Miss Keller was asked.
She replied: "Boneheadedness!"
Miss Keller is right; it is worse to
be bonehead than to be deaf, dumb
and blind! They need not suffer with
that afliction unless they want to.
And, usually, they want to, because it
requires work-mental and manual,
but mostly mental-to get out of the
"bonehead" class. They don't think,
can't think, won't think, never thought
and don't know how to think.
This letter is especially for the ben
eft of C. E. Ludden, who had some
thing to say on the Farm Bureau in
Washington in recent Leader.
Can't he and his like think and rea-
lie what that agent is there for-to
take up the meetings. time so that
they can not take up any matter to
take the profteer off the farmers
back?
Let Mr.. Ludden and his like read
the March z number Of the Leader
again-not merely read, but think and
read and think again. I mean "Facts
About North Dakota" page 5, and
"When Farmers Began to Cooper
ate," page 8.
Yes, Mr.. Ludden, the county agent
knows how to Gull and pick the nom
layers. He got it out Of book, but
you can do the same without him.
What you want to know first is how
you can pick the grain gamblers and
proiteers off your backs.
WHY DID BUREAU CHIEFS
BOOST ESCH-CUMMINS ACT?
Have Mr.. Ludden ask this county
agent to tell them at the next meeting
of the Bureau about M. L. Bakers
letter in the Leader of March in re-
gard to the farmer who shipped car
load of sheep and was short $24 Of
enough to pay the freight bill on the
same. Mr.. Baker had another prob
lem for you, Mr.. Ludden. The thir-
teenth annual report of the commits
sioner of labor, volume 2, 1898, shows
that every man that works with the
modern improved machine today earns
$40 day. Mr.. Ludden, are you get
ting yours and how soon will you be a
millionaire?
This Farm Bureau is nothing but to
head off the Nonpartisan league. Is
it not funny what a terrible thing the
League is, yet it is doing it's polit-
ical work in the open while the
grain gamblers and the profteers
are and have been playing in secret,
and that is the way they got their
strangle hold on the people. But now
that the people found them out, they
howl it is all wrong and the boneheads
believe them. What do you suppose
they give all that money for campaign
expenses for if they did not expect to
The nonpartisan leader., 1921-04-18

get it back a thousand fold? Not for
love OF party or country, oh, no,
they're not built that way. "
