THE BUDGET LAWS AND THE
TAXPAYER
TAXPAYERS thruout the state

Il should faniliarize themselves
with the budget laws applicable to
counties and cities (other than Sc
attle). Under these laws, public Of
ficials must compile in definite, de-
tailed form, a complete statement
of past financial experience and fu-
ture fiscal needs. The makeup of the
budget is SO devised as to enable each
taxpayer to know by cursory ex-
animation whether greater or lesser
OUTLAWS are contemplated for the en-
suing than for the current or past
fiscal year.
The chief virtue of budget is to
compel expenditures of money for
the specific purpose for which it is
appropriated. Almost as important,
however, is the creation Of system
under which the average taxpayer
can, without any considerable loss of
time, know what has been and may
in the future be secured from the
money which he pays in taxes.
To derive the fullest measure of
value, the taxpayer should know its
privileges and by cooperating with
other taxpayers thru the medium Of
committees, prepare to aid public Of
ficials in determining legitimate fis-
cal needs.
The period of budget activity is at
hand. Under both the county and city
budget laws, the procedure is as fol-
lows:
July 6, 1925-On or before this
date, the county or city auditor mott
fies each officer in his unit to file a
statement showing probable revenues
actual expenditures for stated per-
iods and an estimate of requirements,
all in specific detail. This statement
to be in the auditors hands not later
than
August 10, -Whereupon the
auditor prepares the budget, setting
forth the complete financial program
of the county or city for 1926 show
ing the expenditure program and
sources of revenue by which it is to
be financed. On or before
September 1st-The. auditor sub
mits the budget to the county COM
missioners, city council or mayor
(where there is no commission form
of government and these bodies
make such revisions as they deem
advisable, file the preliminary bud
get" and publish notice that copies
are available to any citizen and that
they will meet at certain time and
place on
October 5th-And thereafter not
to exceed five days for the purpose
of fixing the final budget and making
the tax levies for 1926.
At this public hearing, any tax
payer may appear and be heard, may
question any official upon any item
and in general, take helpful part in
determining county or city expendi-
lures.
The State Federation of Taxpayers
associations have followed the exper-
fence in those counties and commune
tiles where organized committees of
taxpayers have intelligently cooper
ated with public officials and report
a marked reduction without impairing
efficiency. According to their state
ment, county and city taxes consti-
tute in the aggregate, 35 per cent of
the total tax burden in Washington.
If taxpayers really desire lower
rates, the best evidence of their sin
certify will be the measure of interest
which they show in aiding public of
ficials in making up the budgets.

MAINTAINING THE BIRTH RATE

ing that Sherman never told us what war really is. Well, as
far as Barnum is concerned if he didn't say it, he should Of
and besides, somebody has said it and he spake- a smouthful
All of which is suggested by an item in an exchange
which would tax our %creduity, were it not for our firm belief
in the established sucker birth rate-one a Minute. The story
referred to is to the general effect that one Of the stores in the
town was featuring a special sale of blankets at n special price.
The merchant was not too busy wrapping up blankets for the
rush of bargain seeking customers not to notice that two
strange men had purchased a pair o. several different Oc
casions during the day.
Naturally his curiosity was aroused. Why the intermit-
tent sales! Why didn't these fellows buy their blankets all
at once' An Investigation disclosed the facts The two
strangers were peddlers. They were buying blankets of the
home merchant and selling them from house to house at a good
fair profit. No need to have any rnoSey tied up in stock. No
rent to pay. No insurance, no fire hazard, no clerk hire, no
depreciation. Just like shooting fish. Make QIsae and go
back and get some more stock.
This is the height of something or other, as applied to buy
ing from fly night, doorto-door merchants The peren-
NAL warning against pedders and the equally insistent admon-
ition to buy at home might have to be modified, on occaion,
to read: eff you must patronize itinerants, choose those that
buy their stock from your home town merchants

TRADE AT HOME

We have never heard any one complain that this homely
old slogan was being everworked or that it was becoming
trite and commonplace and so we feel that it cannot be used
too often in some form or other, as a great deal depends upon
its observance, in fact the whole community may be adversely
affected by its INCONSISTENCIES. suf
Inasmuch as this issue of THEyREpUBlIcAN is devoted IN
large measure to broadcasting the Rawlfns 1Rodeo, which Is
serving, as in the past, to bring large numbers Of visitors to
our city and to provide our own citizens as well. with whole
some amusement, it seems peculiarly appropriate thatthe sub
lect of trading at home" should be considered laap a

ness of some kind in it. For is it not the business and pro
fessional interests that comprise the nucleus of any city!
All of which is a mighty good reason why our business
and professional interests should broadcast the "Spend- your
dollars-athome' message. Your dollars do double duty when
spent at home. What sense is there is sending our money out
of town for things we need when we can buy t~hem-yes, of a
better quality and at a lower price, too-right in Rawlins?
Does any of that money you might spend in another town or
with some far away mail order house ever come back to ao
in the development of our own community? Positively-NO!
When a local merchant makes a sale, part of his profit
comes back to you through the development of a greater and
bigger Rawlins. More schools, more churches, better streets
better lighting systems and other civic Improvements. For
the merchant carries a heavier tax burden than the average
citizen-Yet he has always and will always contribute his
share toward seeing that you and yours are happy and con-
tent in your surroundings.
Do as much for him. Spend your dollars at home. That
where you earn them and that's where they'll do you the
most good.

FEEDING FLOORS ARE

Any farmer who uses this method
