E. o. KEENE,

CLERK
lust a few words about myself.
Born and raised OH a farm. Normal
school graduate with several years
successful experience as a teacher.
Two years as assistant cashier in a
bank after which I was engaged in the
newspaper business for five years.
Seventeen years a resident and tax
payer in Benton county; sixteen years
ON the Kennewick highlands and six
years a member of the Kennewick
school board and three years as clerk
for the district. Also member OF the
board and secretary for the Highland
Water Users association for four
years.
am republican, nominated at the
primary of that party four years ago,
serving now as auditor under the cleo
ton following that primary, seeking
denomination at the coming republi-
can primary and supporting the re-
publican ticket.
NV business experience fits me for
the administration of this office which
is one of vital importance to the tax
payers of the county as whole. My
banking experience gives the necessary
knowledge of accounting. My expert
ence as a teacher and in newspaper
work gives the experience necessary
to satisfactorily deal with the public.
My experience on the school board
and with irrigation matters is excep-
tionally valuable in the handling OF
school and irrigation finances which is
one of the many functions of this office.
My experience in trying to make a
living from farm makes me especially
appreciative of the difficulties of the
farmer and the necessity of reducing
taxes in every possible way.
During my term as auditor the office
has been efficiently, courteously and
economically administered. Interest
has been cut from eight to seven per
cert on irrigation warrants, and from
eight to six per cent on school war
rants, which, on the total warrant in
debtedness of the various taxing dis
tricts, will mean a saving of several
thousand dollars each year. This with
other savings and business like at
tention to the interests Of the county
as whole will show an annual saving
to the tax payers of a sum in excess OF
the total salary expense of this office.
With my knowledge of the office
expect to be able to show Substantial
savings in the operation of the Offices
under the consolidation, which be-
comes effective January 1, and feel
that can make better showing with
my experience than could any new
man in the position.
Briefly, it is generally conceded that
I have made good during the present
term, and / am asking reelection on
my qualifications and my record.
Respectfully submitted,
E. O. KEENF,
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1926-09-10

We have ope. ated our office for the
