Taxpayers Lethargy

The budget for the Salem school district for 1928,
amounting to $243,250 adopted at taxpayers meeting last
night attended by two taxpayers One of them presided and
the other moved the adoption of the budget prepared by
the school board.
This attendance characteristic of the interest shown by
taxpayers in their affairs When it to paying the
taxes levied last night there will be loud wall from those
too Indifferent to discuss the levy in advance
If taxation excessive it the people themselves that
blame Their indifference to public affairs is pro-
verbal They will bthey vote all kinds of bond issues and
expenditures and then recall the officials in charge of public
business because high And usually the ones who
howl the oudest pay the least but silent when the tax
levy is fixed-the only time it does any good to kick
There will be taxpayers meeting to pass upon the
budget for county expenditures. 1t will receive about the
amount Of attention that the school budget did and yet
about the first April when the tax payments due for
the expenditures authorized the old familiar dspairng
lament from the taxpayer and the customary denuncaon OF
official extravaganza will be loud in the land.
The public has developed strong penchant for regulating
the other fellows business but when it to regulating
its own, is strangely apathetic.
