Read and Think.
Several weeks ago we circu
lated a petition to inaugurate
law No. 3, to be submitted to
the voters of the state for adop
tion under Amendment No. 10.
We found no difficulty in secur
ing the signature of all classes
of citizens who understand its
intent and now it is being pub
lished in order that all rriay
have an opportunity to read and
study its effects.
Act No- 3 should have been a
law from the beginning of our ,
state government, but the peo
ple have been careless and the
legislators indifferent about
getting or giving information to
the public and the result has
been that many Have suffered
from violations of lav/s of which j
they knew really nothing
The people have paid heavy
taxes but have not known how
their money was expended. J
while in most causes it has pro
bably been honestly handled,
the tax payers have had no op-j
portunity to know' where and |
for what it ha| gone, and as |
they pay this money it is but
just and right that they should
know how it is spent. Every of
ficer who handles the money of
the people should be required to
give an account of His steward
j ship.
! This law No. 3 cuts the cost
of submitting law's and amend
ments half in tw'o, thus saving
to the people of the state thous
ands of dollars every year, and
yet gives the people a much bet
ter opportunity to know what
the law's are. Read this act and
give it your earnest considera
tion and we feel sure you will
vote for it at the coming elec
tion.—Hope Gazette.
