MORE EXAMINERS AFTER OUR BOOKS

Another Team Here to Go Over the Accounts of the County Auditor and Treasurer. Jasper county is being audited again. Another team of accountants arrived Thursday morning and • took up their quarters in the courthouse and stated that they were sent here by the state board of accountants to audit the accounts of the treasurer aijd auditor. Fulfilling the democratic law, they will stay as long as there is anything to audit and then file their bills at the rate of $8 each per day, with traveling expenses. Another team spent a good part of the summer auditing the books of the county clerk. By the first of the year another set can be expected to go over the city books and the Remington and Wheatfield corporation books and the school corporations and the township trustees. There la one set of people in Indiana, besides the saloon-keep-ers, who have prospered by the democratic administration in the state and that is the accountants. They get $8 per day, whereas they' formerly got sls a week as school teachers and clerks. They don’t wait for invitations to come and examine the books; they just come at their will and stay as long as they wish. »
