The Tlue of publicity as a stand ing and erer constant guide for pub lic oSeiala la not so muck tha giving the public information ' concerning - what has been dona after, action has bean taken, aa it la tha restraining and conservative influence brought to bear upon officials through ,, the knowledge that every item of their 'action win' be brought before the attention of the public. Years of experience throughout every section of tha couatry in. every ranch of government work and especially In municipal affairs hava taught tha Im mense value of this Influence. Of ficiate have not only proven ' more strict In their Interpreting the flnea Uons of right and wrong in making expendituresbut they have been far mora economical, hava avoided wast and bought .. supplies mora closely aad In quantities mora suited to tha city's actual Beads. Tha Justness and value of this principle baa become axiomatic among municipal students. Nothing could be a mora flagrant disregard of the teachings of experience and of good government experts than to say that a city's government should be run by any men at any time with out a provision which keeps Wore tha general public an accurate know ledge of what la being dona In pub lic affairs. ' v" -" : It Is presumed that the recent or der of the cltv council was made with a mistaken economy purpose in view. It has cost tha eity an aver age of 14 a month to keep the cltl tena Informed of what the city coun cil was doing with lta public funds. Do tha tax payers faal that It Is economy to save $4 a month and not keep themselves Informed of what expenditures are made from tha pub He treasury!
