election in the primaries OF Sep
TENDER IL.
This effort is being made IN line
with the provision of the primary
law to the effect that when judges
receive a majority vote in the prl-
mary, their names are placed upon
the November ballot unopposed.
This is an election.
The people of the state owe TO
the court and to themselves the
duty of keeping the supreme court
Judges from the necessity of undue
participation in campaigns for
their own election. To elect them
in the September primaries saves
nearly two months of distractions
and leaves them to work without
further uneasiness as to the future.
The urier-Reporter suggests
to its readers, therefore, that they
go to the primaries on September
12, ask for the separate judicial
ballot and vote for Judges Fuller
ton, Parker, Macintosh and Hovey.

Letters from the People
Dear Editor:


I notice in your editorial Of last
week in discoursing on county
candidates for office at the pri-
maries Sept. IL you allude to the
fact that some friction exists be-
tween the present board Of county
commissioners and Mr.. Stradling,
the present incumbent of the Office
of county engineer.
1t seems to me that having re-
ferred to the matter the public
is entitled to little further light
on the subject before. being called
in to vote at the coming primaries.
In trying to do this / am not going
to refer to the question Of personal
ability or qualifications for the Of
fee as realize there might be a
difference of opinion in this re-
gard between the board and the
voters. But the records of the
engineers Office are open to inspec-
ton and some Of the things at least
that the commissioners objected to
can easily be verified.
For one thing the board made OBJ
lection to the placing Of all the
Stradling family on the payroll.
The ability Of some Of these mem
bers to earn the money likely had
something to do with the boards
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1922-09-07

objection, but the board felt that
the payroll was bigger than neces-
sary in any event and they further
believe that nepotism in any Of
flee is far from wholesome influ-
ence in getting results and should
not be encouraged.
The budget for the county en-
gineer's Office during the last two
years as published show $500 and
$4,000 respectively. Both from ex-
perience and observation the board
believed this sum should be ade-
quate. At nearly every meeting
Of the board the engineers atten-
ton was called to the fact that the
expense of his office was exceeding
the estimates which in the judg-
ment of the board was entirely un-
necessary. At the August meet
ing it was shown that only suf-
ficient sum was left in the en-
gineer's budget for this year to
merely pay the salary of the en-
gineer for the balance of the year
and the board felt compelled to
give notice that no further obliga-
ton must be incurred.
In closing l may say that the
election of Mr.. Stradling to the
engineers office again will not at
feet me personally more than any
other taxpayer but feel that the
new board will have plenty of dis
agreeable duties to perform with
out inheriting the troubles of the
old board as they exist in the en-
gineer's Office and that they are
entitled to new deal.
/ perhaps should add that the
work done for the county by Mr..
Ammon has been satisfactory to all
members of the board.
Yours,
r. E. Pratt,
County Commissioner.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1922-09-07

Please allow me space in which
to answer your statement of last
week. You stated that l had been
in continual friction with the coun-
ty commissioners, that new board
was to be elected and therefore /
should be defeated for reelection.
In regard to this conclusion ]
wish to state that / feel sure that
a majority of the board to be
elected are not opposed to my cleo
ton nor do they approve Of the at
titude of the present board.
Now I want the public to see the
point at issue. Many county COM
missioners. in this state, including
the members of the board from
Benton county, have bee ntrying
to get the legislature to change the
law so as to make the engineer ap-
pointive instead of elected by the
people.
opposed this change in the law
on the theory that the people have
the right to hold check on county
commissioners.
If the commissioners could APP
point a personal friend to- check
their actions what chance would
the taxpayer have to check them !?
They would make him servant of
the board instead of a servant of
the people.
It is true the commissioners have
cut off the appropriation for my
office. l am graduate engineer
of 40 years experience, duly elect
ed by the people.
Is my office crippled for the sake
Of economy? No, Mr.. Voter, look
around and you will find several
road builders drawing much bigger
salaries than you pay me. These
men, I know, are not engineers and
have never had experience in road
building. Their expense account
seems unlimited.
If elected, will cooperate with
the incoming commissioners to the
best of my ability, but / shall al
ways feel that my first obligation
is OF the taxpayers.
Furthermore / will feel it my
duty to expose legislation like the
Carlyon bill whether the county
commissioners favor it or not.
l believe it is my public duty
to give the public the benefit of my
experience in these matters.

BOOST THE FAIR

THE agricultural fair to be helc
= in Kennewick Friday and Sat
urday of next week should have
the whole hearted support of every
individual in the community. A
few men have worked hard and
earnestly to make the fair a sue
cess and it is not right that their
efforts be set at naught by the in
difference Of the people.
The Commercial club, the Grange
and the Farm Bureau have already
shown their interest by assuming
financial responsibility for the I'M
dertaking now needs to bring it to
of committees to take charge of
the arrangements. What the I'M
dertaking now needs to bring to a
successful elimination is backing
and support of the individual.
First of all the individual farm
er must show his interest by Sc
lecting from his field, orchard or
garden, products for the exhibition.
The townsman should show his in
terest by the purchase of ticket
and by cheerfully performing any
task he is requested to undertake
in connection with the staging of
the fair.
It is true conditions are not the
best. Some crops have not been
as good as in former years, mar
kets have been poor, the season has
been backward and some Of the
community's best display fruits
are not ready for exhibition pur-
poses. The thing to do, however,
is to forget all these alibis and the
town and countryside join forces
in making the fair a success. 1t
can be done and should be done.
