TAXPAYERS AND OFFICI ALSSCHOOL DAYS
LEARN HOW TO WORK TOGETHER
Copyright. 1920. by
McClnre Newspaper Syndicate.
By D WIG
EVEBY city and town in the southwest is interested in
the working out is EI Paso of a seders system of
budget making for the governmental bodies. The first
thing is to make earefni estimates for each department and
pare them to the utmost; next make definite appropria-
tion to each department based on the badgel: then take
-are to live within the budget. Before the appropriations
are made it is important that a pabKc hearing be had so
that any taxpayer may hare an opportunity to present re-
cuests for increased or special appropriations for items in
v. hich he is interested or to protest against what he may
acem extravagance waste or unnecessary expense.
In E! Paso a special department of the chamber of com-
merce strongly financed and managed by experts has been
set up to look after the interests of taxpayers in their re-
lations to the public treasury. The words "tax and econ-
omy and governmental research" used in the title of the
'penal department indicate the nature of its work. In
El Pao this committee of taxpayers and the experts em-
ployed have from the beginning of their work adopted an
a.:r-jde of cooperation with the public elected authorities
not as attitude of antagonism. The city and censty offi-
cials welcome their assistance and suggestions and do not
hesi.ate to call upon them for special-investigations .or re-
ports on matters of public finance and adsisistratioB.
This condition is ideal. There is no suggestion implied
that the pnbbc officials ate remiss in their work there is
ro "detective work goiig on there is no ill humor or
censorious meddling and the public officials do not feel
that they are being harassed but on the contrary they wel-
come the efforts of the iamber of commerce committee
and give its proposals fair hearing and doe consideration.
It is worth noting that when the city budget was re-
cently submitted to the jublk at hearings in the council
ib amber it was tnsroughrr discussed clearly explained ana
-reelv criticised and yet few changes were made in it and
the chamber of commerce committee recorded its samiac-
ion inth the schedule proposed by the city administration.
This bearing took place be tore tne tax rate naa oeen nxea
before the valuations arete known sccurately and before
any appropriations had teen made. The finances of the
cry are thus made a matter of mutual adjustment between
the city officials and taxpayers and not only is there better
satisiaction all around but abo a sharing of responsibility
that is good for both sides tc the arrangement.
It is now proposed with all wisdom and justice that
the same system be carried into county affairs into the
school board and into the waterworks administration.
The school board is under no legal obligation to prepare
a budget or submit it to public discussion at as open hear-
ing Bat its moral and social obligations are great and as
binding on members of the beard as if the law defined them.
The school board asks the taxpayers of the city through
the city administration to turn ever to it nearly $wowu.
to be spent in its discretion.
Clearly the taxpaying pubHe should knew before the
money is spent how it is planned to spend It; tne taxpay-
ing public should be informed in detail what the plans are
'em by item and should be given an opportunity is ad-
ance of any commitments to discuss those items freely.
An open hearing on the school budget would be as fruitful
oi good results as that on the general city budget. It would
promote a better understanding all around strengthen the
hands of school board members give the taxpayers a more
t'vid sense of actual participation in government and tend
to share the responsibility as in the case of the city badger.
This applies not merely te the general expenses of the
board bat to teachers' salaries. It is net expected that the
sa lanes paid te individual teachers by name shall be dis-
cussed in pnbbc but that the budget shall show what
cachets' positions are created and what the positions pay
m each class or grade. The question of teachers' salaries
so far as it relates to maximum and minimum service in-
creases grading and so on is of course a proper matter
for public discussion.
The old idea that pubbc officials coeld afford to defy
'he popular wiO or that the principal duty of taxpayers is
to damn the ail mitiiit ration is played out. The sew idea
of cooperation of constructive planning after open discus-
sion has taken firm hold. It is the old fashionedtown
meeting adapted to modem conditions. And progressive
officials everywhere will wecome the change.
The EI Paso chamber of commerce will gladly give in-
formation on budgets and budget making to any south-
western community that may be interested.
Farm Labor
LABOR is forsaking the farms. Staple food crops have as
a consequence been neglected to a large extent that
crops bringing greater and quicker returns might be grown
farmers are growing what they can get the largest returns
on for the least labor investment. Is some states reports
to the El Paso county farm bureau say boys under 14 and
women have to be pressed into service because farm hands
are not to be had.
High wages have drawn farm hands to the city. Shorter
hours in the city and more social and recreational advan-
tages have played their share. The war came along and
took many of the men from the farms. Abnormal factory
wages took many more and now that they are away they
will not go back unless conditions on the farm are changed.
The hours on the farm can't be shortened much. As to
wages seme readjustment win have to be made. The cash
part of the farm hand's wages over and above his ordinary
living expense should at least have the same buying power
it had in former days when it was about $30 a month or
$1 a day real money.
More important than either hours or wages is the ques-
tion of recreation. Every person is entitled to enjoyment
and relaxation. Community centers in some states are said
to be solving the rural recreation problem. They may help
but their success will be short lived if they are chaperoned
and supervised too mnch. What the ordinary hard fisted
farm hand wants is a good time mostly of his own making
and not prescribed.
Many of the folks who talk of going "back to the farm"
would not knew what to do when they got there

Trucks and the Southwest.
SHIPPING by means of motor trutks win not offer com-
petition to the railroads; quite the contrary truck lines
win be feeders for Tail fines. It is generally the case that
raiixoaos go not maxe mosey on snore xreignc nsms one
they have to take care of this kind of business. If the
motor truck ever comes into use extensively enough to take
from the railroads short haul business the large carriers
will be relieved for longer hauls in which there is profit and
less wear asd tear is proportion to revenue.
Mirrang by truck is the southwest should appeal to the
tanner wno can furnish tne return load and get his produce
to market daily. We are sot likely to have isterurban
railways out here on the same scale the densely populated
sections have them. For this reason truck deliveries will
have things their own way.
Tracks can be used to advantage for distances ranging
up to 100 miles from tne center of distribution if the Toads
are good. The development of truck shipping will be
assisted by the establishing of warehouses in El Paso and
at other border points.

to prezer its manners over tne out-

security offered by trade agreements
for a limited time gave the employer
some incentive to preference to union

present importance. It comes finally
down to the fact that the union
through Its organization and by such
means as it can use. is face to face
with the problem of preventing the
employment of outside workers in the
market which it seeks to control. This
prevention is accomplished in one

Republican Convention
History of 64 Years l
By A. H. VA.XDD.VDEltG.
TUB first Republican national con-
vention convened at Philadelphia
June 17. 1856 (the anniversary of
the battle of Bunker Hill) following
a preliminary session at Pittsburg
February it 1866. There were no
precedents and no rules to govern
representation or procedure. It was
largely a spontaneous affair with
delegates present from all the free-
soil states and the border states of
Delaware. Maryland and Kentucky.
Henry S. Lane a breezy Indiana
westerner was chairman of the con-
vention himself a rare character.
Although a New York newspaper of
that day described him as "a man
six feet tall marvelously lean his
front teeth out. his complexion be-
tween a sun blister and the yellow
fever and his small eyes glitering
like those of a wild oat" those who
scoffed when he appeared remained
to cheer because his homely elo-
quence turned bedlam loose at the
outset of the gathering.
William H. Seward was the most
conspicuous man in tbe party at the
time and unquestionably could have
