Tom Dobson, Candidate For County Commissioner South
District Makes His Charges Against The Present Board

submit my candidacy as Commits

pledge and promise that I will put an
end to the unwarranted orgy of waste
and unnecessary expenditure of public
funds fostered and put in operation
by the present Board of County Com
missioners WHILE THE TAX PAYERS
PAY THE BILLS.
The charges herein contained make
early in the campaign so that the
incumbent may have plenty of time
to explain them.
base my platform on opposition to
the reckless extravaganza Of the present
Board of County Commissioners.
Starting with the Commissioners
themselves, the expense of their office
has increased thirty-five percent in
the last two years. Why? No adj
ditional duties have come to them
My six years experience as a member
of this Board, from 1918 to 1924, stand
me in good stead now in uncovering
these unhealthy conditions in our
county government My record, en-
viable because of its high achievement
and quality Of service, makes me the
logical candidate at time like this,
when honesty and thrift in County
matters are at such premium and SO
vitality needed.
THE UNNECESSARY EMPLOY
MENT OF A SECRETARY TO THE
CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AT A
SALARY OF $150O0O PER YEAR
PARTIALLY EXPLAINS THE IN
CREASE. The Auditor is required by
law to and does furnish all necessary
clerical help to the Board, paid out of

domination and absolute control Of the
majority of the present Board. Con-
troll, vested as 1t is OF present in the
hands of one man. is contrary to the
spirit and intent OF the constitution

mental to the interests of the tax pay
ers of King County that such a con-
dition exists. No one can deny that
it does exist. The taxpayers suffer
accordingly.

The City of Seattle at the present

in every possible way to better and

Seattle represents large part of our

ASKING FOR COOPERATION FROM

THE LOWERING OF TAXES. I
PROMISE TO COOPERATE WITH

THERE is ONE FORM OF TAX
ALTON, THE COST OF WHICH CAN
BE GREATLY REDUCED. REFER
TO FIRE INSURANCE RATES OUT

Commissioner has ever advocated the
establishment of fire protection dis

This could be done easily and at a
small cost without increasing the
county levy by the organization of fire

borne by the districts where the people
vote to establish such districts.

from the fact that the cost of govern
ment of King County has increased
more proportionately in the last two
years than that Of the City of Seattle.
This wanton waste OF the peoples
money by the present Board can easily
be Illustrated and proved by the in
crease in the County Current Expense
Fund, the fund for the operation of
the County government.
According to the Auditors printed
report, there was expended for current
expense account in 1927, $2,168, 391.61
In 1880 budget was levied
for current expense 2,725,5O
Increase over 1927 In this
fund alone.................. S 7,113.96
and most Of this increase Of over half
a million dollars has been during the
administration of the present Board.
The current expense fund has in
creased over a half million dollars
(s557, 1896 from 1927 to 1929 in spite
of an increase OF over twenty four
million dollars t$24,238,676.O0) in the
assessed valuation of our County from
1927 to 1929.
County tax levy for 1927 1883 mills
County tax levy for 1929 1903 mills

The voters and tax payers of the
City Of Seattle demonstrated in no
unmistakable terms in the last two
