Roy B. Misener Seeks
County Treasurer Post

The county treasurer's office
can be operated much more eff
GENTLY than at present--and at a
saving Of $4,000 yearly--if a
number Of sorely needed changes
are made, Roy B. Misener de-
clared today.
Misener, the incumbent county
assessor, is a Democratic candi-
date for county treasurer. He has
been making a detailed study of
the treasurer's office. and Is ad-
,vocating these improvements:
Immediate adjustment Of the
treasurer's revolving fund, a
fund used to pay bonuses in the
form of overtime to regularly
paid employees. This fund has
been declared illegal by the at
torney general Of the state of
Washington.
Allowing taxes to be paid at
banks in rural districts, the same
as light and water bills now are,
30 that rural residents aren't
forced to drive all Of the way to
the County-City building in
Seattle.
these changes should have
been madee years ago." Misener
said. 1.-THE present administra-
ton Of the treasurer's office, by
allowing the revolving fund to
continue, Is extremity wasteful.'
Misener, a World War veteran,
cannot run for assessor under
state statute, which limits all
office-holders to two terms. He
favors race equality, and has been
a leader in seeing that all men are
treated equal.

quires tremendous tonnages Of
rubber never before required.
8. That we only have an esti-
mated one years supply for all
purposes on hand.
4. That synthetic rubber plants
will not be able to produce suf-
