The state report is enough to cause every taxpayer in the county to hang his head in shame at the unfaithfulness to the public interest, county officers have shown in the recent past. When the tax- payers’ report is made public, and the misuse of the people’s money is bared to public view, and the dis- crepancies and graft are disclosed, there will be in- stant demand for a grand jury, and indictments’ against those, in and out of office, who have had their hands in the pockets of the people. Of one thing the people can be assured, when dis- honest practices are fastened upon any person here- tofore or now charged with the conduct of public busi- ness, they will be prosecuted relentlessly, regardless of the shame and disgrace brought upon the county. The taxpayers have been patient and long suffering, but they are now aroused by the disgrace brought upon the fair name of their county, and will leave no stone unturned to bring to just punishment those who have betrayed them. ; Of another thing the taxpayers may be assured, there will be no guilty man of woman escape the reckoning. Whoever he may be, he will answer be- fore the bar for whatever wrong he has done. MRS.
