Memphis, Tenn.. May 9. The most important and at the same time the most neglected unit in America's gov ernmental dally life Is the ' county, Professor Graham Taylor of Chicago university told the National Confer ence of Charities and Corrections to day. Professor Taylor was president of the conference. "The county seat," he said. "Is . the center of more governmental activi ties than any other seat of govern ment. In fact. It is the rural capital of the great majority of people. But the extent to which It is neglected Is evidenced in the faulty records and accounts, indifference to public health. bad conditions in jails and alms houses, extravagance in sheriffs' and prosecutors' offices and irresponsible treasurers hips. "The county may well be taken as the point at hlob. politics should b humanized. It lies all around and very close t- every home town and neighborhood, Therefore It ought to be and can became the framework within which private citizens can best work with public officials and public agencies can best cooperate with vol unteer organizations for tje common welfare."
