vampires that we have to eat up reve-
nue.. Now, do not misunderstood me
to be opposed to the state hail tar.
What am opposed to is the manner
in which it is administered under our
present law. The expense Is too great
avoiding a large overhead expense
which It has got to bear under the
present system.
THE auditors of this state hsvs
suggested time and again systems that
would make 1t more efficient and cost
considerable less money to maintain
it,"
Mr.. Mccarthy also pointed out that
there now is no audit Of expenditures
of school districts, no publication Of
expenditures and the allowance OF
claims against the districts, and sug-
gested that the boards should publish
its proceedings 10 far as expenditures
and the salaries paid to teachers, a
an economy measure.
Burden Increased.
Chairman Walton. OF the board Of
county commissioners OF Dickey cour-
ty, points out some means by which
he says the tax payers burden is in-
creased. He said: !,
The grasshopper law has cost us
a few thousands Of dollars. for which
there has been no beneflt. It In costing
a little moro each year to maintain

quirement by law that counties spend
great sums in its administration, COM
plant that other laws enacted by the
legislature have increased the tax bur
den Of the counties without appre-
ciable benefit and suggestions for
remedial legislation are made by some
county auditors and commissioners in
letters to Governor r. A. Nestos, in
response to the governors request for
information concerning expenditures
and for the cooperation OF the Off
Gals OF the various political subdivi-
sions of the state in reducing the tax
burden.
Response received already from
many officials of counties and cities in
the state have carried with them
sta tements Of economies that have
been made. and promises to cooperate
by reducing county city. township

year.
