Our Chance to Learn
The county-wide taxpayer's meeting next Tues
day should be an opportunity that most taxpayers
will jump at the chance to find out just "what
goes" with all the money they pay into the county
tax collector each year.
The meeting, probably only the second of its
kind ever held in the state, is planned by the
county court to be a fact-finding session for the
general public. All phases of county, city, school,
and special taxes will be discussed by competent
authorities from each field, and there will proba
bly be some talk about state tax problems as they
relate directly to the local taxpayer. It isn't plan
ned as any "lets get off the hook" idea by the
court to try to justify its expenditures in recent
years, bee, ''.use if the taxpayers of the county
just st op and think back for a second, practically
every lax they are now paying is a tax they them
selves voted in by popular majority. '
The idea is to show the people who are paying
the bills, just where their money goes and what
they arc getting for it in schools, city government,
city streets, county roads, weed control and all the
many other duties tax levying bodies must per
form. In other words, the purpose is better educa
tion in taxes.
We think the county court is to be commended
upon its idea of holding the meeting and it is our
hope that a goodly mtmber of the county's citizens
will conic to learn, and to ask questions. Governor
Patterson's presence at 10 o'clock to open the
meeting should be an additional drawing card.

Sen. Guy Gordon left his audi

half an hour without announcing
that he would be a candidate to
succeed himself (that's what they
wanted lo hear) nor did he say
that he would not run (as he
recently intimated). Some of the
delegates commented that he had

thing the Neubcrger followers
