Former State Engineer Goodman
Says Politics Cost Him His Post

the governor to accept my resigna-
ion for the subsequent events have
led me to believe he should have used
the word political end" instead OF
administrative end" for it would
have described better the results
which have followed. Not long after
the secretary of the board of directors
of state institutions was placed in
charge he sought to assume control
not only of the administrative end
but the entire personnel Of my de-
partinent. The secretary had no
knowledge of the matters over which
he had been placed in charge and inn
mediately began an attack upon my
engineering employees and discharged
or attempted to discharge practically
the entire force At first / could not
understand the purpose sought by him,
since then / am almost persuaded in
the belief that it was a move having
for its purpose the forcing of my
resignation and the organization of
the state highway department along
the lines he saw fit.
"The public is generally aware of
the financial condition of the high
way department when / assumed the
duties of state engineer, which con-
dition continued for many months
thereafter. | have no apologies for
the manner in which the department
has been conducted under my direc-
ton. The work. done will speak for
itself. The showing made during the
latter part of my incumbency might
have been better had / not been handi-
capped by dual management with full
authority vested in the secretary of
the board of directors, who admits he
has no knowledge or experience what
ever of the engineering features or
problems arising in the construction
of roads and bridges.
II have also been charged with lack
of cooperation. If my attitude on
day labor versus contract work on the
highway construction has caused fric-
tion, admit that am not in har-
mony with the secretary's announced
policy of doing all future road work
by day labor. Years Of experience
and observance have demonstrated
that it is most difficult to do public
work economically by day labor, and
that contract work is usually cheaper,

In a statement made public last
week former State Engineer Frank
R. Goodman accused Governor Hunt
of playing politics in road work and
said the reason that the accounting
system provided by the joint legisla-
tive investigating committee was not
installed was because the governor
refused to permit him to employ a
man to install it and keep it func-
tioning.
Mr.. Goodman tells of his resigna-
ton and goes into some detail in his
statement. 1t follows in full:
"This statement would have been
made several days ago had / not been
advised that the report of the legis-
lative investigating committee was
about to be presented to the governor,
so / decided to wait until that was
made public before doing so.

AS to my ability and efficiency in my
profession, | will quote the governor
himself, who in answer to my only
letter of resignation rendered June
8th, 1923, and my subsequent letter
of June % insisting that he accept
the same, replied in part as follows:

Tt was found that this Studebaker

This figure included depreciation.
That meant $207.50 saved on $4,000

TOURISTS STORM BRIDGE AT
YUMA TO BREAK QUARANTINE

Seventy tourists stormed the Col
orado river bridge at Yuma late Sun
day night in an attempt to break
through the chains holding back east
bound motor traffic from California
into Arizona in the states quarantine
against the foot and mouth disease.
The attack on the bridge was made
after the chains across the road in
the Yuma Indian reservation had been
broken and the guards overpowered.
Guards at the first barrier notified
the sheriff at Yuma of the attack
and the sheriff with a dozen armed
deputies reached the bridge just in
time to prevent the breaking of the
chains across the bridge. The mob
was forced back on the California
side and guards patrolled the bridge
throughout the night.

What it saUes you

We build 10000 cars
yearly. All such major
costs as engineering,
dies, overhead, etc., are
divided by 10000.
We build in model
plants, with modern ma
chinery, which have inn
mensely reduced the
manufacturing costs.
A car like this, built
under ordinary condi-
tions, would cost you
from $500 to $500 more.
Learn, for your own
sake, what that means to
you.

TAHTS Studebaker Light-Six is
the supreme value in the
u "thousand-dollar" class.
It offers, not a few, but scores Of
advantages. In its chassis it repre-
sents the best that modern engineer
ing knows. In its steels and quality
of construction it is identical with
the costliest cars we build.
This is to offer you proofs. Then
urge that you see it before paying
ST. 900 or more for car.

The extra values which

cars.
They have made these
cars a sensation. Sales
have almost trebled in
three years. Last year
145,167 people paid $201,-

cars.

in model plants and
equipment. Of this, $685.
100000 has been spent in
the past five years, so
the plants are up-to-date.
