began drawing $1,5OO.OO per
year, and his deputy continued
to draw 100000 per year, ma
king $2,4O0.O0 per annum in all
allowed to the Auditor and his
deputy, whereas, only 81, 100000
had been allowed prior to 1900,
and while at the same time the
salary or compensation of other
county officers remained at the
salaries which had been paid in
years prior thereto. On what
theory does Frank Huff and his
henchmen explain the necessity
of this addition to HIS salary du-
ring the years when extrava-
gence was running rampant, or
as he claims "boodling" was at
its height. Why was it necessa-
ry for the county to pay the
Auditor 100000 more in 1901
than was paid him in 1899, and
why has this salary of $4,000
to the Auditors office continu-
ed under the present self styled
ECONOMICAL BOARD, for it is a
fact that to the present time the
auditor and his deputy are draw
ing $2,4OO.00 per year from the
county, instead of $l,S00.OO as
in former years, and the eco
nomical members Hall and Gil
more approve and allow the
same. If there was stealing du-
ring the years 1900 and 1901, it
is a fact that during these SAME
years the salary of the auditor
and deputy auditor was advan-
ced as rapidly as the law would
permit, and is it not fair con-
clusion for the tax payers to
arrlve at that this advance in
salary of the auditor and depu-
ditor obscured the vision of our
reform auditor and prevented
him from noticing the extrav-
agance, or as he is now pleased
to call it the stealing of the old
board. Or if it did not prevent
him from seeing it at the time,
lis it not fair to form a conclu-
sion that it caused him to FOR
GET his observations before he
had time to report them to the
public? Is it not a little singu-
lar that the so-called reform
board of Gilmore & Hall should
so readily coincide with the
BooDLERs in allowing the same?
How much better is the man
who accepts the bride than the
man who offers it? 1t would
appear that this $500 was Huff S
reward for keeping still. And
what excuse will Hall and Gil
more give for thus endorsing
the action of the boodlers as
they are pleased to call them?
In the great anxiety of Huff,
Hall and Gilmore to rid the
county of extravagent officers
and to bring about reform, will
it not be we'll for them to COM
mence at the head of the list,
and return to the county about
$l5O0.00 unnecessarily paid to
the Auditors office during the
past three years, and would not
the Board of Supervisors do
we'll to at once reduce the fu-
ture salary to the amount paid
to the Auditor and deputy for
the work in 1899 before boo
ding began? If this is done it
will come with more force and
better grace for this trio Huff.
Hall and Gilmore to proclaim
themselves as the only three
honest men in the county, and
the only men who can give hon
