SLAMS OAKMAN FOR
ORAW|NG SALARY
IN ADVANCE
MUNICIPAL LEAGUE BULLETIN
SAYS AUDITOR IS GUILTY OF
PRACTICE HE CONDEMNED
LODGE BOOSTED.

Some praise and some blame are
given County Auditor Milton Oakmai,
in the bulletin OF information which
is being sent out by the Municipal
league through the city. John c.
Lodge, Republican. and VIM. j. NageI.
Democrat, are given very favorable
mention.
Oakman is criticized principally for
the passage OF bill by which the
salaries OF the county auditors were
raised from $1,000 To $4,000 per year.
The bulletin says:
What shall we think OF a policy
that cuts down the salaries of SCRUB
women at the bottom OF the ladder,
but raises salaries OF those on top?"
Oakman's promise TO reduce the cost
OF janitor service by one-half and all
other help in the county building by
one-quarter is recalled and the bulletin
adds that the janitor service has been
cut about Is per cent, the engineers
payroll about 6 per cent and that the
wages OF laborers have increased 4
per cent
Oakman Is credited with a saving
of $3.50 in transportation of poor to
Eloise and also for saving In ad'
vertising Of $4,000. The total county
pay roll Is shown to have Increased
from $367.27O to $4,000 since Audi
tor Oakman took office.
Oakman Is criticized because. al
though he pledged himself TO oppose
the practice OF county employees draw
ing salaries In advance. the records
show he has himself drawn his own
salary two weeks In advance. The
shortage OF Anthony Schultz In the
county treasurer's office Is referred to-
Carelessness Is alleged against the
auditors in the matter OF handling
postage accounts without requiring re-
ceipts and also In purchasing bonds
Office hours are declared TO be still
too short. The real auditing Of county
books Is alleged to be done by hired
accountant.
In regard to OHM G. Lodge, the bull
letin states that he Is native OF the
city and has had six years OF news

OF experience. which he weaves skill
fully into many "reminiscences OF that
long-gone period.
Mr.. Taylor came to Michigan AZ
years ago with Martin Hudson, who
conducted one OF the first hotels In
Lansing. shortly after the location OF
the state capitol in this city. He was
clerk in the hotel and acquainted with
all OF the statesmen Of that early day
who came to Lansing. Governors and
judges OF the courts found him agree
able and well informed, and he often
became their confldant and friend. 1t
was an easy step into official life. and
he became the first official crier OF
the supreme court without an effort.

this quiet kind OF campaigning" states
Lodge referring TO the fact that he
has not made speaking canvass OF
the county, but has merely submitted
his claims for consideration and left
II TO the Republican voters to make a
choice.
II have refrained from criticizing
my opponent or using the usual cam
paign methods. II is the policy Of a
good merchant to use his advertising
to call attention only to his own wares.
However, ] have a number Of very
good friends in the county and their
unselflsh and energetic help has given
me the greatest satisfaction"
One OF the bills which Rep. Lodge
purposes TO introduce In the legisla
ture would put the salaries of election
inspectors on different basis from
the present.
Now we pay counting board clerks
so cents per hour and election in
spectors only 81 per DAY, although the
latter work is most important and the
hours are long. ii would be only fair
to have the election inspectors paid
so cents per hour also. The 81 pay is
correct for the registration days only
and should be made the minimum, but,
when the registrars and inspectors
work more than eight hours per day,
they should be paid accordingly"
