Communication
Editor Leader:

Editor Leader:
An item in the last issue of the
Gazette, favoring the injection of politics
into the organization of the board of
supervisors, appears to me to be detri-
mental TO the public welfare. The voters
for several years past have very generally
chosen supervisors regardless of their
political convictions and as results have
shown, acted wisely in so doing. AS
taxpayers they do not seem to have
cared about politics so much as the more
important consideration of fitness and
capacity Of the men elected to render
efficient and satisfactory service. Since
the system of nOn-partisian ship has
been in vogue and the business of the
board has been conducted by the mem
bers on the same principle IS their own
personal affairs would be transacted in
private life, the sessions of the board
have been shortened and no word of
complaint has been heard that every
interest of the public has been carefully
guarded. The committees, through
whose hands the most important part Of
the business passes, have been arranged
on the score of competency and with
special reference to their qualifications
to pass upon the question coming
before them. To have elected them on
account of their political affiliations
would have been a mockery, and con-
trary to good policy. If there is to be a
continuance of this wholesome practice
and the Taxpayers are to have the full
benefit Of legislation. along indepen-
dent and non-partisian lines, the Gazette
should not find any sympathizers with
it's suggestion to make the board a
political machine or the football of poll
ticians. 1t will be an unfortunate day
for the tax payers and betrayal of their
interests should such condition prevail.
A Voter.
