Dye Roasts County Officials
William M. Dye made rather fiery
speech in which he criticized the Of
ficials of all kinds of extravaganza.
He said many bridges have been
built at cost Of double what they
ought to cost, that much materials
were being wasted and that there
had been considerable graft in fur
nishing materials. He said the far
mer works from very early In the
morning till some time into the night
and that the white collared fellows
in the public offices work from 8
o'clock in the morning till 4 and
not content with that they apply
for deputies to do the work and the
principles in office spend considerable
time between and 4 reading news /!
papers and visiting in the offices and
otherwise wasting their time not de- /
voted to productive work. He cheer
ed Justify in his remarks. He said
1T was the same way on the farm;
that the more the employees are paid,
the shorter hours they want to work
and the shorter hours they work the
more pay they demand and the less
there is done.
MIR. Beebe RetOrts.
c. S. Beebe replied to Mr.. Dyes
statements and said that he wonder
ed that any man was willing to ac-
,ept public office while the public
mind is so tickle that it will abuse
hem in generalities like Mr.. Dye
lad been doing. He said that he was
around the county offices enough to
know that everybody worked hard
Ind worker long hours. The charge I
hat they quit at four o'clock was
lot true and the charge that the ;
principles in the office hired enough
deputies to do all the work or most
II the work and leave them without
much or anything to do was not |
rue. He said he did not believe in
accusing people in generalities as (
dr. Dye had done, that the road {
money had not been squandered as
lie had indicated and the accounts
re all open to public inspection and
le challenged Mr.. Dye to go and put I
Us finger on any particular thing or I
'erson and prove that money had {
'een wasted any more than it is vast 9
d in other lines of business where it
) handled by the individual looking q
fter his own interests. Mr.. Beebe's y
were applauded but not |
ute so Justify as were Mr.. Dyes. I
