It should, of course, be organized along nonpartisan lines and not for the purpose of opposing necessary public improvements. But rather it shonld be to see to it that when said improvements are built and financed that the taxpayers get the greatest possible return for their money. It is unfortunate that such an organization has not been functioning here for some time, as I believe if it had, a considerable sum might have been saved in interest on school bonds. There is now outstanding more than three quarters of a million dollars in school bonds which I understand were sold, or rather a contract was entered, into, to sell them^in ad vance of their approval by the voters. I am unalterably opposed to this practice, and for that reason! I voted against the recent $295,000 grade school bond issue aad also ngninst a high school bond issne for the same amount at an election just about two years ago. So strongly have I opposed the practice of "selling" bonds before the election that I«introunced a bill at the last session of the legislature to prohibit it. Although my bill had the support of many legislators as well as Illinois Taxpayers Association, it was defeated in committe# 1 through the under cover work off certain bond- houses. It is my firm conviction that a bond issue of any size can be mart keted to far better advantages aftef , an election 1 where it has been ap< ! proved by the voters than it can if it is "sold" before the election. If there are those who disagree It was a source of satisfaction to the board at that time that we wore able to build and equip our present high school without asking for a seeond bond issae. There, is of eoarsO, no question hat what more room is needed in both our grade school and high school. There is ao argument oa that score. The argument, if any, is oa the methods of marketing the bond issues that have been sold to fiaanee the eoast^oetioa of the seeded additions. - While I may seem to question the judgement of our school officials, I certainly do not mean to question their integrity. I bear no grievance against them either as a group or individually. As a taxpayer though, . think I have the right to qovsvtuu a practice that might mean higher taxes than are necessary'. Although money and credit are rather plentiful and cheap* now, there is no guarantee that this situation will continue indefinitely. The time may come in the not far distant future when it will not b» so , > ' 71A T siy utility to pay the tax bills thai are inevitably coming. That is why a taxpayers' association might n6t be a bad idea. THbS. A.
