A Fine Showing for Florida.

State Treasurer ]. c. Lunings an
nual report for 1920 shows a balance
in the state treasury of $2,27O, $50. 90.
The total expenditures for 1920 were
les sthan the total receipts by $425,-
O51.52. The total cash brought for
ward at the beginning of 1920 was
$1,S25, S99.96. The state is therefore
piling up cash above its needs, ap-
proximately half a million dollars an
nually.
From the standpoint of the state as
a whole this is a fine showing. From
the standpoint of the taxpayer it in
dicates need for tax reduction some
where, amounting to so cents for each
man, woman and child in the state.
With no bonded indebtedness, save
paltry six hundred thousand doll
lars held by it's own school fund, there
is no good reason why Florida should
have an idle two and quarter million
dollars lying in the bank vaults of the
states repositories, even if it is draw
ing a minimum of interest
We note this report shows the state
prison fund and the state prison (tax)
fund both exceeded in their income
by several thousand dollars, the com
bined excess of cost over income be-
ing some $4,000. It is also noticeable
that the flying squadron" the run
about teachers examining board, costs
slightly more than its income
The educational institutions and the
| hospital for the insane are not ex-
pected to produce revenue All of
these need attention and undermining
as well as enlarging. A good place for
some of that two and a quarter mil
lion the state has would be in the ed
vocational and hospital needs of the
state.
There are few states which will
show better financial standing than
Florida, and the encouraging part of
is that this surplus of two and a quar-
ter million dollars has been accumu
lated during four years of the most
riotOus spending Florida has ever
known. 1t speake volumes for the
states financial handling, for the eff
ficiehcy of the treasury department;
and with sane administration facing
US, ii means there can be relief from
high taxes.-Tampa Tribune.

Press Comment
For Greater Publicity.

For Greater Publicity
The South Florida Press association
in session at Bradentown last week,
recommended the passage or law
by which minutes of county commits
sioners, school boards and city coun-
ellis should be published as paid legal
notices for the benefit of the general
public. Why not? That the public is
entitled to the information thus given
is, of course, not disputed. That the
public wants it is certain. That abuses
and bad practices may creep in where
there is not full publicity as to the
expenditure of public money is so well
known as to need no stating.
why, then, shouldn't the newspa-
pers be paid for printing such matters
and why should it not be made a part
of the duty of such boards to make
this information public?
It may be argued that the papers
should print this information free for
the benefit of their communities. Ev-
cry newspaper in Florida now does
more free for it's community than any
other business man in these codnmun-
tiles. Type cannot be set for nothing.
Newspapers cost money to produce.
Is 1t not fair that the general public
should stand this expense?
The public will be benefited far
more than the papers. One publisher
from a South Florida county told how
$4,000 tractor, bought by his county
and which did not seem to be doing
much road work, was found at work
in the big orange grove of a county
officer. Furthermore "a bill for repairs
of $500 more was found charged to
the county. True, the claim was made,
that the officer was leasing the trac-
tor for $500 a year, but no record of 1t
could be found on the minutes until
long after the incident, it is stated.
Would not publicity in connection
with this case have been salutary?
1t is. not alone in preventing or ex-
posing such cases that such a law
should be of value. Just as a matter
Of information the tax paying public
is entitled to know where it's money
goes. When it sees the bills t will
watch the expenses more closely and
such a law would in time be a money
saver. The Highlander believes it
Should pass.-Lake Wales Highlander.
