Badget-Majdag Time b Hero The budgets are here again. Governmental units — county, township, civil and school city! and towns, and libraries —are publishing for the information of taxpayers and others what they propose to spend during 1949. i That is bringing local government right into the homes of the people, so all may know how and why we levy taxes and where the the money goes. Few private persons make budgets and fewer live up to them. But our public officials are compelled to make budgets for the conduct of the public business and they are compelled to live up to (or down to) those budgets.: This is an important fact and onej the people should understand; belter.

These budgets are being made; up more understandable, to the I ordinary citixen now than they’ were some years ago. They show,, among other things, what .was i.-M.-d for the past three years, so that comparisons may be made. If there is a big difference; the taxpayer can look for the reason for the difference. Hel does not need to go the court; house or trustee’s office or to the : school board J to find out what: the matter is; he can read it ; right in his home in these published budgets. That is the fine thing about the publication of these budgets each year. They give the taxpayer direct and intimate information about his local government; information which he ought to know*. There is no doubt that the. preparation and publication of these budgets have saved our taxpayers thousands of dollars. | and will continue to do so. Savings have been made because of | the great care neceseary in preparing the budgets and in the public scrutiny which they are sure to receive when published, j SO. watch for your budget in; your local unit especially, and. look over all the* budgets which I affect you—the county, your; township or city or town and I your school city and library.— | Plymouth Pilot.

FARM MACHINERY AT STATE FAIR

The greatest display of farm machinery in history will be spread before the eyes of' Hoosier farmers at the Indiana State Fair, September 3-10. An all-time high of 86 exhibitors have contracted for space in the Machinery Field at the Fairgrounds and more than a score of others had to be turned down simply because there wasn't room for them to display their wares. Judging from reports that have been sent in to the State Fair Board, there just won’t be anything in the way of mechanical equipment for the farm that won't be available for Indiana farmers to inspect. The Machinery Field again will be at the north side of the race track and every effort has been made to facilitate the movement of pedestrians and automobiles to and from that part of the Fairgrounds. Three additional tunnels under the race track have been byilt. Two are for pedestrians only and one is for both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Those tunnels also are expected to be of great aid in solving the automobile parking problem. Fair board officials saiti they are satisfied the machinery display this year will be the largest ever at any similar exposition. That, of course, can be attributed to the large area available for that purpose at Indiana's Fair and to the fact more manufacturers have completed the job of converting from wartime work and again are in full-scale production of equipment to mechanize the farm. ....
