They have every right to know how their money is spent. It in no sense reflects upon a public officer to inquire into what he is doing with your money, All honest and well meaning officers will welcome, rather than resent such inquiry. The paramount object and most serious effort of all tax s today is to secure lower taxes and bring about string ‘onomy in the management of public business and public expenditures. Eyery taxpayer should feel his own responsibility in such matters and add his weight and influence to the efforts of others, and above all other considerations should associate himself with the splendid work the Taxpayers’ lon is performing for the people.
