Both are well I -THE LEGAL BLANK J GET UNDER COVER o .$0.50 . 5.00 EXPERT THE BOO: There is a growing sontiinunt among IjiiHiiiPttH men and taxpayers in favor of an expert examination of the county records of Jackson county. Beyond the cursory and superficial examinations of these records by the county court mid various grand juries there has been no expert auditing of these accounts in upwards of twenty years. As a business principle thy should be experted and published at least every two years. In many counties where the volume of business is much smaller than in Jackson county, the policy of biennial examinations by qualified ex perts has been adopted. It is charged by many mat tne county records are in a deplorable condition. There are experts who are willing to audit the accounts for ten per cent of the sum they recover for the county over and above the balances as now ahown by ttie books. The moral effect of such an examina tion would be inestimable. All men who are elected to office are not holi est and such a continued apathy on tin' part of the people in the conduct of public affairs is always an induce meat to peculation on the part of dis honest officials. Ili-sides I his careless and inaccurate methods graft them selves into the departments, resulting in serious losses to the taxpayers. The r rds should be experted. The citizens are entitled to know what is being done with their money. .Sound business policy demands a thorough in veslgaliolt, and every holiest official in the county will concur in asking for the investigation.
