COUNTY RULE EXPENSIVE

Olympia-"A commission form of
government for the smaller counties
Of the state is the only solution I see
OF the problem of cutting down ex.'
penscs Of county government" says
j. -F.sLeghorn, Of tine state bureau OF
inspection and supervision of pubic
offices. Mr.. Leghorn has checked up
. number of counties and the great
cost Of running the smaller ones al
most staggered him.
Under the Law. as 1t now stands
the small counties have as many Of
ficers as the large ones," went on
Mr.. Leghorn. GAS a result there is
one county in the state where the
sheriff draws 500 month. Last
year he had % civil and two criminal
cases to handle, or two month. Dur
Ing the rest of the time he loafed
about.
ION ne other hand the auditor, who
arew only slightly more money, was
compelled to work night and day to
keep the records in shape. as he was
not allowed sufficient office help. In
the meantime the sheriff loafed.
SpOkane-Resultant To the sweeping
investigation by special agents of the
United States land office into the al
legged fraudulent acquisition of Alas
ka coal lands, the federal grand jury
returned two indictments against
Raymond Brown and William l.
Dunn, prominent Spokane men.
