paid ADVERTISEMENT
A TRAINED EXECUTIVE FOR
COUNTY AUDITOR

Voters - taxpayers and home
owners-should remember, in Sc
lecting their officials for the ad,
minstration Of the public business
your buSineSs-it has an import
ant bearing ON the tax problems.
lnetficiency, waste, lack Of eXecu-
tive ability, means increased eX-
pense. Increased expense in any
department spells little more IN
crease in taxes, and a little bit
more here and there in our taxes
makes the aggregate assume for
midable proportions.
In no department does that rule
so forcibly apply as in the
Auditors office.
Here is business that involves
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars
annually, where inetiicicncy can
easily cost the taxpayers many
thousands.
men Il BUSINESS OF Such magnl-
tude has, by careful business
methods, been placed upon an
efficient and economical working
basis, it is criminal folly to disrupt
the system by placing incXperienc-
ed men in control. For disruption
is bound to occur under Such
change, Old and trained employees
are replaced by men, who, to a
greater or less degree, are Strang-
ers to the Office work, with the
result that much waste and eX-
pcnSc occurs from mistakes caus-
ed by lack Of experience and
training.

In other words, the taxpayers
must dig lite deeper to pay the
cost of experimenting.
What private business concern
or corporation would be guilty of
such folly?
The taxpayers of King County
have an Auditors department
firmly established upon a business
basis Of demonstrated efficiency
and economy. To keep it there
they must elect a man for Auditor
who has been trained in the bust
ness, a man, if possible, who help
ed place it there, and the taxpay-
crS of this county are fortunate in
having the privilege of securing
just such a man for that office.
O. NJ. Spear, who has filed on
the Republican ticket for County
Auditor, has had twelve years ex-
pcricncc and trainingin the office.
lie served three years as Chief In
dcX Clerk, four years as Chief
Clerk, and five years as Chief Dep
uty Auditor. The present efficient
system Of the department is large
ly due to his efforts and the corps
of assistants he has gathered a

COVE COMMENTS


Mr.. Il. G. Thompson has inaug-
urated direct freight service to
and from Seattle for Cove and
Colvos. He should receive the
hearty cooperation Of all the pro
duce shippers along the route for
the following reasons. While not
detracting from the service given
hitheto by the West Pass Trans
portation Co. it is evident that the
less hauling perishable freight
gets in transit to the market the
better for such trcights and III
addition the freight reaches the
market earlier and is much more
likely to be sold the same day in
stead of the day after. Therefore
it is a distinct advance over older
methods Of reaching the markets
and will certainly benefit the
growers along this route. For the
benefit of those who do not know
the freight is collected Monday
and Thursday evening.
1t now remains for some enter
prising citizen to institute a jitney
service to the north end ferry for
the early ferry to Seattle and the
late ferry to VashOn two days a
week for a starter. (Who's onO
If you do not know what folks
are grumbling about it is not easy
to allay the dissatisfaction, so for
the benefit of the owners of the
West Pass transportation | will
briefly say, that many of the folks
are afraid to travel ON the Viz
ginia 4 and the same can be said
of visitors from the city. | have
frequently heard unfavorable
comments and comparisons as re-
gard our local boat service (mean-
ing the comfort and cleanliness of
our boat as compared with boats
running from Seattle to other
points. 1t is good business policy
to render efficient service on al!
points, both for the upbuilding of
the company'S business, coupled
with the advancement Of the local
tiles served as the one inevitably
reacts on the other This com
ment is made in all friendliness to
those concerned.
1t will no doubt be Of interest
to many present and prospective
Loganberry growers to know the
results of individual Logan crops.
Therefore l will give mine. 81
3-year old, 10 6-year old and 10
2-year old plants yielded this sea
son, cannery weights, 23S4l2 lbs.
and the net results were $304.79,
not one crate was put on the mar
ket. And the plants cover about
one third of an acre. l am Of the
decided opinion that the Logan
crop indicates the future prosper
ity of the islands for the following
reasons: The Logan cannot be
grown east of the mountains and
| understand (but am not certain
that they do not do well in the
south. This being so they are con
sequently restricted to a small
strip of territory west of the
mountains. And the experts of
Pullman say that the most desir-
able localities are the Puget Sound
islands and Olympic peninsulaS.
Therefore the Loganberry culture
holds out very bright future for
us. If SO why hang on to the old
apple trees that for the most part
monopolize valuable space and
yield a precarious crop of little
value and much labor. A stick of
dynamite under each tree would
appear to be good business. | have
in mind what happened to my
native Isle of Jersey. 80 years
ago it was one vast orchard and
the crop was dumped each season
