NORMAN M. WARDALL.

Norman NJ. Wardan, former
county auditor and candidate for
reelection to the same office. is
standing on his record for ef1icien-
ely during the four years he con
Quoted the office, 1917 to 1921,
covering the full period of the
war. The record shows that not
one cent Of expense was incurred
the taxpayers of the county for
his term as the earnings of the Of
flee more than offset the over
head or expense of the Office. The
average yearly earnings amount
ed to 1926, 1880, while the aver
age yearly expense was $124,6l9.-
0S, thus keeping well within the
intent of the law that the office
be self supporting.
During the year 1921, under the
present management, the total ex-
pensc was $l45.344.13 with earn
ingS of ll43SL3O, creating a def
lett of $30,956.83, which must be
met by taxation. No other one
year in the history of King coun-
ty has shown such a burden on the
taxpayer for the maintenance of
the auditors Office. Every figure
given above is taken from the
Annual Reports of King county,
certified as correct and canno the
questioned.
The state legislature, in fixing
the fee schedule for the auditors
office, did so expecting that the fee
would cover the running expenses
Of the office. All deficits must be
included in the tax levy. Wardall
actually turned back into the
treasury of the county $7355,53
as surplus earnings, and claims
that he can do it again if given the

BOTH SIDES BLAMED
BY Chief EXECUTIVE
Harding Lays Story Of Coal
and Rail Strikes Before
American People.

Washington, D. C.-Presdent Hard.
ing laid the whole story Of the rail
and coal strikes before the American
people with pledge that, whatever
the cost, the government by law will
be sustained.
Summing up before a joint session
Of the senate and house his efforts
toward industrial peace. the president
asserted that neither employers nor
employees could escape responsibility
for the present situation and that no
small minority" would be permitted
by armed lawlessness," conspiracy"
or "barharity and butchery" to over
ride the paramount interests OF the
public.
To strengthen the hand Of the ad-
ministraton in dealing with present
and future coal troubles, Mr.. Harding
asked for authorization of national
agency to purchase sell and distribute
cC&l and for creation of a commission
to inquire into every phase of coal
production, sale and distribution"
No similar request was made for
emergency reil legislation, the presi.
dent asserting that, although the rail
road labor board had inadequate au-
thority, other agencies of the govern
ment were armed with statutes to
prevent conspiracy against interstate
commerce and to insure safety in rail.

1T is my purpose" he continued,
ITO invoke these laws, civil and Grim.
inal, against all offenders alike"
One other legislative enactment,
law to permit the federal government
to step in and protect aliens where
state protection fails, was advocated
by the chief executive as a result Of
what he termed the "butchery of hu
man beings, wrought in madness" at
Herrin, III. Despite the protests of
foreign governments whose nationals
suffered in the Herrin mine battle, he
said, federal officials were powerless
to take in hand the situation created
by "the mockery Of local inquiry and
the failure Of justice in Illinois

even opened, contrary to law,

litical party in an cndcayor to de-
feat me at the general election and

this trcachery they received the
merited condemnation Of all good
party men.
When it was found that I had
been overwhelmingly chosen by
1.-THE people for this Office, they then
rcsorted to an attack upon my
citizenship. This accusation had
no element of truth and when
brought up for hearing was
promptly thrown out of court.
The editorial, before referred
to, made the following comment
upon this last desperate attempts:
"The pretensc of discovery that
he was not a citizen, coming after
years Of service and on the eve Of
his taking office, was too flimSy
for serious consideration; but
that animua Of the action is
something that the people Of this
county will do well to remember. "
Another prominent paper said.
"that it had yet to hear Of the
first diSintercstcd party who did
not characterize the fling of the
suit as a contemplate action
The desperate crew" has rcor-
gained and is again endcavoring

misquoting figures in an attempt
to show that money was saved by
their administration-the most
eXtravagant in the history Of the
office. Figures won't lie, but
liars will figure"
The facts as shown by the off
cial records and confirmed by the
state examiners, are at all times
open for your inspection and veri-
tication if you will call at my Office.
These records actually show
that in 1917 my predecessor ex-
pended $110,395.61; 1918, $l02,-
59S.62; 1919, $135, 559.1O, and 1920
$l49,922.74, an average increase
over the year 1916, for four years, :
of $35, S34.S5 or a total increase in
cost of $143,339.43.
The auditors budget was ex-
ceeded during every year of this
wild orgy of spending; in 1917 it |
was exceeded $l4,655.61; 1918,
$2,S53.62; 1919, $20,S54.1O, and |
1920, $1,037.74, a total of $780,
+Ol.O7 If a proper budget law,
such as applies to road funds, was
in force, this could have been re-
covered from his bondsmen.
In 1921, my first year IN office,
besides making a cut OF $4,000 in
the budget, | turned back into the
treasury $l1l.9S. This is the first
time since 1914 that the taxpayers
have not been called upon to make
up a deficit.
The present year budget is 1929
10000 or $4,000 les than the year
1920 and [ expect to be able to
turn back a substantial balance
over this amount.

FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS
REDUCE BILL HOLDINGS

Further reduction of s56 100, 900 in
bill holdings, as against an increase
of $4,000, 900 in Government securi-
ties, is shown in the Federal Reserve
Boards weekly bank statement is
sued as at close OF business on April
IL. An increase of s3,100,00 in Gov
ernment deposits Is more than offset
by reductions of s3,800,000 in mem
bers' reserve deposits and of 5000, 900
In other deposits, largely cashiers
checks and nonmembers' clearing ac-
counts. Federal reserve note circu-
lation shows an increase for the
week of s2,200,o00. while cash re-
serve increased by s2,400,o0 The
reserve ratio remains unchanged at
77.7 per cent.
Shifting of gold reserves through
the gold settlement funds affects
chiefly the New York and Boston
banks. which show increases in their
gold reserves of s12 100000 and
81 500, 900, respectively. Smaller in.
creases, totaling $40, 0,400,0 900, are
shown for the Richmond, Atlanta,

banks. st. Louis reports the largest
decrease for the week in gold re-
serves by s7,600,00 while Kansas

crease of 1,400 900.

COAL STR|kE.
HURTS Mine
PROP TRADE
Puts crimp in Fiourishing In
dustry of Eastern Shore
Territory.

CAPE CHARLES, Va, April a.
notwithstanding the order to discon-
tinue shipments of mine props from
the Eastern shore of Maryland and
Virginia to the anthracite coal regions
due to the miners strike, many pro-
ducers and dealers of that product
have assumed an optimistic attitude.
The general opinion among both the
producers and the dealers who are
in intimate touch with the situation
is that an increased demand for the
props will exist when the coal opera.
tions are again resumed and the ten.
dency will be toward high prices for
the props.
The mine-prop industry has grown
on the peninsula from Harrington,
Del, to the Virginia Capes, from an
infant enterprise only q few years
ago to one that at the present time
ranks among the largest of the
peninsula's Industries both for
the volume of output and the
amount of revenue received. Re
ports from the railroads and infor-
nation received from several dealers
show that during 1891 from 500 TO
1000 cars OF mine props left the pen
insula monthly, which brought hun.
dreds OF thousands OF dollars into
the pockets Of the producers here.
Practically every railroad station
on the four main lines and their
branch lines covering the peninsula
have from one to three derricks to
aid in the loading of props. In many
instances private sidings have been
constructed to take care of this par
ticular shipment
In Wiconnico county mine-prop
shipments from Pittsville average
thirty-five cars per month and Par
sonburg ranks second, with monthly
shipments approximately thirty car
loads. 1t is estimated that during
1921 this industry returned approx
bately 3104,SS0 to the producer in
this county alone.

RATE
INVESTIGATION
FOR THE SOUTH
Hearing on Railway Freight
Charges to Begin in At
Ianta May ~.

An investigation of Southern mer-
chandise freight rates has been order
ed by the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission. Hearings will begin at At
lants- Ga. on May %, before Com
missioner Joseph b. Eastman and
Examiner H. c. Wilson. other
hearings will be held at Asheville. N.
c., New Orleans, Chicago and New
York on dates to be fixed later by
the commission.
One OF the results TO which the
commission is particularly desirous
that the Investigation may ultimate
ly lead Is the establishment of a
greater degree Of harmony between
Interstate and intrastate rates with
in southern territory. II this result
Is accomplished IL will be necessary
for the commission to fix interstate
class rates which may serve as a
reasonable and proper guide to the
State commissions in the adjustment
of the intrastate class rates.
ITO this end" said the commits.
sion, I'VE shall confer with the State
commissions, but Il Is also essential
that the record shall show the rela-
tive volumes Of interstate and intra-
state traffic and the relative levels
of the present rates, 80 that the ef-
feet of any change upon the aggre-
gate revenues of the railroads may
be appraised.
