REASONS WHY FORSYTH
SHOULD BE ELECTED
COUNTY TREASURER

]. Forsyth was Treasurer of Benton Coun-
ty for years and Assessor for years, and is
familiar with all Of the details Of the office.
2. During his term as County Treasurer, he
originated and installed an entire new system Of
tax rolls and statements which resulted in
saving the County thousands of dollars. Since
then, this system has been copied by other coun-
ties, including Yakima county. Since then it
has not been necessary for the Treasurer's office
to purchase or write any new real estate rolls,
which effects saving of from 81, 10000 to ST.
100000 per year.
8. During Forsyth's term as Treasurer, he
reclassifed all irrigated lands in the county and
did so at saving Of $25OO.OO less than the coun-
ty commissioners had budgeted for that purpose.
This classification reduced the value on irrigat-
ed farm lands from 500 to 1870, thus saving the
farmers on taxes proportionately.
A. During his term as Treasurer he purchas-
ed $4O0, 10000 in school warrants at time when
the school districts were in bad financial condi-
tion and the teachers and employees were UNI
able to cash their warrants without discount,
and which warrants he purchased without any
discount and the county received the benefit Of
more than enough to pay the entire expense of
running the Treasurer's office.
5. During his term as Treasurer Forsyth
took the lead in re-financing many of the irriga-
tion DRAINAGE and school districts which saved
the taxpayers in those districts thousands of
dollars through reduction Of bonded indebted

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR
County Commissioner

Born and raised in Benton county.
Qualified by past experience in
state, municipal and business af-
fairs to give Benton county an eff

Commissioner.

work was IN addition TO the ordinary duties OF
the treasurer and this, together with the reclass-
ifcation of the irrigated lands, accounts for the
added cost of operating the Treasurer's office,
but which actually resulted in considerable
saving to the taxpayers.
g. While County Treasurer Forsyth went
to the State Legislature and obtained credit
Of $65OO.OO of state taxes that were due on lands
decided to the irrigated districts, and it was di-
rect saving to the county.
z. During his term as Treasurer, Forsyth
maintained higher railroad ratio, which, in
plain language means that the public utilities
paid considerable more taxes than they ever
paid before or since, and this in spite Of the fact
that the valuations on private properties were
reduced.
8. Since Forsyth went out of office the
privately owned property in Benton county has
paid over $28,O0O.00 in taxes in four years, that
the public utilities would have paid if the ratio
had been maintained as during Forsyth's adj
ministration.
g. If elected, none Of his relatives will be
employed in the office.
10. Upon his record Forsyth shows that he
has operated the Treasurer's office in such
way as to save the county many thousands of
dollars, and if elected he can and will do the
same again.

that the Government, still sticking to
its present theories, will not again

sion was overproduction, and the same
cause accounts for the depression of
1929, then the New Deal turns out
to he the same thing as the Old Deal.
and Mr.. Roosevelts mistakes the same
as Mr.. Hoover's. But since the entire
procedure and strategy Of Govern
ment have been very different since
1888 from what they were before, isn't
1t reasonable to inquire whether this
may not be different kind Of de-
preston?

On every known ground We have
not even begun to take care of the
normal demand for new houses. There
is one example of fragrant underpro-

unemploy and produce through a
sophomoric misregulation Of the stock
exchanges a slaughter of equity values,
then there is neither the money nor
the desire to buy new houses.

Must Agree on Cause.
Therefore. before we can agree upon
q program for recovery. we must agree
as to the cause of the present depres-
sion. The cure has to begin with
correct diagnosis.
Now. it would appear that the
administrations diagnosis has been
faulty. and that that is where the
trouble started. The administration
still hardens on its theory that in
April. 1887. there was overproduction
and q danger of imitation. Fearing
just such an event." says the Presi-
dent, the Federal Reserve System
curtailed banking credit. and the
Treasury commenced to sterilize gold,
as q further brake on what it was
feared might turn into a runaway
imitation"
They did. indeed. and by those
measures they started the present de-
preston. Obviously. the measures,
on the scale and with the .vehemence
that they were undertaken. were
wrong.
The administration lightens the re-
serve requirements which 1t unwisely
and unnecessarily stiffened, and re-
leases the gold that it unwisely and
unnecessarily frose.

April liberal economists, among them
Mr.. Alexander Sachs. who set forth
his views in early autumn before the
