Thorp Gives Views
On County Work
Taxpayers Should Get Service
They Pay For, Assessor
Candidate Declares

Taxpayers of Okancgan county
pay the wages of their county Off
Gals and should receive the same
courteous, efficient service which
any other employer expects from an
employee, is the belief of John F.
Thorp, Republican candidate for
county assessor.
MIR. Thorp declares that should he
be elected he will not feel that he
is doing a favor by giving informa-
ticn to callers at his office, but will
realize that they are paying him for
that work. Upon this principle, as
well as his experience at the work
and his knowledge of conditions in
Okanogan county, he is basing his
campaign for nomination in the
primary election, September II.
The reduced income of farmers
and orchardists also makes it vitality
necessary to reduce taxes to level
which can be paid, he states.
II realize fully the financial
problems facing most Okanogan
county taxpayers" he explains. 1T
is vitality essential that valuations
must be established for both person
al property and real estate which
will not permit oppressive taxes to
be levied. 1t will he one of my chief
aims if elected to accomplish this

The meeting grew heated when
Mr.. Gamble refused to take action
on the matter while the commits
sioners were in session in the
courtroom, demanding that they
adjourn and hold a closed meeting
in the commissioners room. He at
first declined to state when the re-
suit of the meeting would be an
nounced, but finally agreed to an
nounce a decision at 2 o'clock to
enable Methow valley residents to
start home at an early hour.
The four mile project in contro-
versy was strongly opposed by the
Tribune and the Omak Chronicle.
In a recent issue the Okanogan
Independent and Fred r. Will at
tackled the Chronicle for its support
of the Disautel-Nespelem road.

hearing were Mr. Williams, G.. H.
Beggs, Sam CARRIER, Earl De Camp.

Mr.. Thorp has served as field
assessor in the Nelson Chesaw dis
trict for eight years, and has been
a member of the Chesaw school
board for four years. He received
his education at Washington State

Raises If Bill Is Passed
No Additional Vacancies Will Be Created in
Grade of Lieutenant Commander.
Openings to Be Awaited.

HERE will be no immediate
grades Of ,es. lieutenant J., c9mman. 9Sa AN
of the Navy, even though the
measure now under consideration is
enacted into law. The system that
may be set up will not create any
additional vacancies in the grade OF
lieutenant commander. Officers Sc
lected for that grade will be placed
on a promotion list, and they will
await vacancies as they occur in due
course by accretion. The ultimate re-
suit will be that younger officers Will
be advanced to lieutenant commander.

identity of the officers who will be
selected to fill three important naval
billets, two of which are places in
the Navy Department. The two local
positions to be filled are that OF as

plies and Accounts and Navy Depart
ment budget officer. The former po-
sition is now filled by Capt. Edward

June Is as supply officer at the Bos-
ton Navy Yard. The death last week
of Capt. William w. Smyth, who was
in command of the U. S. S. TenneS-
see, makes necessary the selection OF
! another officer for the post of Navy
Department budget officer. The pres
ent incumbent of this office is Rear
! Admiral Claude C. Bloch, who will
become Judge Advocate General of

Admiral Orin G. Murfin, who will go
