FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1933
PUBLICITY FOR PUBLIC AFFAIRS
A Couple of legislators from western Oregon have taken their
tax reduction platform more serious’y than good judgement would
justify. They have introduced a bill that would allow county
courts to post the county estimate of yearly expenditures instead
of having them published in one or more newspapers in the
county.
Outside of any personal feeling that newspaper men of
__ the
state may have in this matter they will oppose it on principle for
they know well that publicity is the best means of insuring honest
and conscientious conduct on the part of public officia s.
Taxpayers of this county know that a large part of the reduc-
tions, they have received in the past three years has been brought
about thrugh a greater understanding of the county tovemment

by the people themselves It always works that way. When the
cat is away the mice will play; when the people are asleep or un-
informed about their government little extravagances creep in
and grow into'tax eating bureaus.
' Publicity costs the people of this state something less than
one tenth of one percent of their total tax bill. This i. about the
sai&e percent as the benzoate of seda put into some preserved
goods and the two serve the same purpose They both prevent
decay’and rottenness from creeping into the whole;
t
It inaybe significant that the department of government ot
this county that has suffered the most criticism for the past four
or five years is the one that has had the least publicity given to its
expenditures. It is fatal to government to allow it to be conducted
without proper inforrnaiion being given to these who support it.
And therefore'it may be assumed that the better judgement of the
legislators will prevail and that the list of the estimated county
expenditures will continue to be put before the people in a form
that can be read and studied in comfort. If popular government

SCHOOLS FIRST
Those of this county who are familiar with the school sitution
have begun to wonder how it will be possible for the schools to
operate next year. -Unless something unforseen happens nearly
all of the schools of the county will be at least six months behind
in their warrants by the end of.the school year in May. This
means that the income the districts wjll receive next term will be
use J for the payment of this year’s school expense.
Even the warrant system requires some cash for their are cer­
tain necessities that cannot be bought with warrants Teachers
may be found who are willing to teach for warrants, all local ex­
penses may be paid with them, but there still remains a dire need
of cash in some quantity to carry on the schools.
There is one way this can be materially helped Often tax­
payers are able to pay a part of their taxes if not all. They may
choose to pay on a quarter of land, the home, the business or some
other part of their possessions that seem more dear to them than
tha remainder. If these persons and all others who are able to
pay any taxes at all will pay their school taxes at least the districts
may receive enough money to continue for another year.
According to a decision of the supreme court of Oregon it is
no v possible to pay taxes to one taxing unit This assures the le-
gality of the plan to ray school taxes in preference to other taxes
.and as the schools are probably the most important activity of the
government it is proper that they Should receive the first suppoit
of the financially embarrassed taxpayer.
