NUMBER 19.
FOR ONE COUNTY COMMIS
SIONER
The revenue of Pulaski county,
including corporation tax and com
mutation road tax, amounts this
last year, to between forty-live and
fifty thousand dollars.
Jhe next tax will he some five
thousand dollars larger, due to
some small incie.use in tax..hie val
ues, and to an increase in the tax
rate of one dollar more on the
thousand.
Ibis county business, in the
profitable management of which
every citizen of this county is finan
cially and morally interested, is
therefore considerably larger in vol
ume than the yearly business of the
average store or mill.
No one imagines that it is pos
sible for any man to get a thorough
working acquaintance with the con
duct hf Oven a small farm or store
by giving to it but one day each
month, or even one or two days
each week.
Is it any more reasonable to sup
pose that a commissioner can possi
bly have any better working ac
quaintance wit 1 1 tiie more import
ed public works of this county,
alien lie is required to give not
more tnan mio or two days each
month during most of tin* year, and
one or two days each week while
the gang is in Ids own territory?
Is it not manifest absurdity?
Go to anj’ commissioner with a
matter of road or bridge work in
your own community, and lie at
once replies, I will set' the super
intendent and ask him whether it
can he done.”
'ton would do the same; so would
I. We should he compelled so to
do; for liqalone possesses the ac
tual working knowledge acquired by
intimate contact with the work.
By the very necessities of an im
perfect system he becomes de facto
Commissioner of Roads and Bridges,
charged with a most important part
of the responsibilities of the Com
missioner that you have elected to
that position.
Again, either he or the clerk
must bear afiother large part of the
responsibilities of the elected com
missioners in purchasing the sup
plies of the county road force.
He again becomes de facto Com
missioner of Revenues to a very
great extent
Neither the clerk nor the super
intendent is held to any responsi
bility for the proper accounting for
the money thus spent, through hav
ing giyen any bond, nor are they
even subject to your possible dis
pleasure at the next election, for*
neither office is elective.
We are indeed fortunate if we
have lost no horse, for our stable
door has not only not been locked,
it has been left wide open.
Aren’t we a business-like people
in our public affairs? Close-fisted
enough on the farm or in the store.
