SAFEGUARDING PUBLIC FUNDS.

Judging by the number of investiga-
tions that are being made of the ex-
penditures of our state and national
officials there is need for the develop
ment of an informed and intelligent
citizenship.
The state law requires or permits
county clerks, city clerks and other tax
spending bodies to publish a statement
of all claims authorized and ordered
paid. The purpose of the law is to ac-
quaint the interested citizens with the
expenditures of the various units, to ad-
wise them as to just how and for what
the tax money is spent.
1t was one of the wisest laws ever
enacted from the standpoint of safe
guarding public funds and insuring
them against waste, extravaganza and
misuse. When the controlling body
knows that it must account publicly for
every cent it spends and that every
citizen is to be given the opportunity
of scrutinizing every item of expendi-
ture, there is natural tendency to be
careful and cautious in the appropria-
ton of funds.
Without any reflection upon anyone,
we undertake to say that many unwise
expenditures would not have been made
had the governing bodies known that
the full glare of publicity would be
turned upon their monthly claims.
A newspaper is handicapped in adj
vocating an extension of this policy to
all tax spending bodies for the reason
that it might be beneficiary of the
policy. The published exhibit of claims
is paid matter and at least one news
paper should receive this business. Yet
the amount of the cost is, we think, but
small insurance premium for the pro-
lection given.-NeWs, Fairbury, Nebr.

first place with 127 points agains,

The day was ideal for the meet with
the temperature around 80 in the shade
and no wind blowing. Although the
time in the races was close to average
the new track was a little slow for the
establishment of any new records.
This was the first meet held here
since the county meet of 1924 and a
large crowd of townspeople and visitors
from Libby and Noxon were on hand
to witness the contests.
The contestants are to be congratu-
lated on their fine spirit and coopera-
ton shown during the time preparing
for the meet and during the meet. The
sponsors of the meet wish to thank the
public in general and those who acted
as officials in particular for their CO.
operation and help in running the meet.

OLD TIME BUSINESS HOUSE
CHANGES HANDS.

The Windsor Hotel, one of the oldest
business houses in Troy, was purchased
this week by Lena NJ Rives. The hotel
has been owned by Geo. W. Allen for
the past SO years and much considera-
ton was given to the change before the
transaction was made by the owner,
Alice O. Buckley.
Mr. and Mrs Geo. w. Allen pur-
chased the Windsor hotel in 1896. 1t
was then located back of the present
H. c. Weidner store, a building of
about eight rooms and dining room.
AS business increased and more room
was needed, MIR. Allen moved to the
present location. The first hotel was
destroyed by fire, and the present one
erected. For many years Mr. and Mrs.
Allen operated a first class restaurant
and rooming house. The hotel has been
leased many times. and much history
could be written of the trails that were
blazed from its door. Most of the old

TOO BUSY TO VOTE.

Readers of this column will recall
that this newspaper has heretofore
called attention to the challenge that
is being launched at democracy through
out the world. Dictators are the fashion
of the day. With the exception of Eng
land and France, they rule most of Eu-
rope and one might say, all Of Asia.
Mussolini. well known fascist dicta-
tor of Italy, openly SCOTS at democracy
in government Others of his type hold
it in no less contempt.
Many serious minded students of
present day governments and move
ments in Europe are wondering il
democracy has not committed suicide
by its own incompetence and corrup-
ton.
This introduction is mentioned mere
" to call attention to a condition in
Libby In two recent important cleo
tons in the city, there were Distress
ingly small votes In the city election
557 votes were cast; in the school cleo
ton 5O2 expressed their will at the
polls. In the city, there are, in round
numbers, somewhat more than 800 reg
istered voters. In the school district
which includes much larger territory
there should be two or three hundred
more voters. It can thus be seen that
two or three neutrality-suspicious. more
failed to vote at both these elections.
Reports have come to this newspaper
of several instances in which well
meaning citizens remarked that they
had not voted-that they were simply
too busy to take the trouble
At these annual elections men are
elected to conduct the affairs of the
city and of the schools. To us it seems
there is little of greater Importance
than the election of able men and
women to these high offices. Yet some
of our citizens are too busy to take
any part in it.
Perhaps democracy has indeed COM
mitted suicide by its own Indifference
and incompetence.

days when the Windsor Hotel and its
owners were colorful figures in the

capable hotel manager and she will
