He looks at out, if pos rst how much good you can do hir It isn't his theory of politics that officeholders are public servants That will do for vote-getting talk perhaps, but it won't do in practice One must take care of himself first and his friends second. County er money is supplied to be spent for the benefit of those who spend it So thinks Abrah This man has no particular qualifications for office. It fe doubtful if he would be able to make his way in the world outside of politics. His one equipment for his present responsible job is the glad hand. But this same glad hand has grasp the voter's palm. It has handed of dollars of the taxpayers’ money to Tom, Dick and Harry Of course it was done under forms of law, contracts and the like. Great wads went in the form of salaries to inefficient men who wanted easy jobs and who were good workers at the polls. Yes, the taxpayers’ money is for the benefit of those who spend it. Public office is a public crust for the needy So thinks Abraham He built county roads. commissioners to allow each member to supervise the road building in his district. This is one way of handing out money to friends. The fact that Abraham knew absolutely nothing about the practical side of road construction counted for nothing in the minds of his fellow commissioners. He was on a par ia that respect, with them, and they knew it. The Star has already described some of Abraham's county toads, which form part of that impassable network that has cost the people of King county over three millions of dollars during the last ten years. It isn't worth while to mention the harrowing details all over again. Suffice it to say that Abraham's glad hand is a dissipator of a large part of the money that the taxpayers pour into the county treasury, under the supposition that they are to get value received from their commissioners But turn away from Abraham and consider Al Ruther ford. Here is a real patriot. He must be one, for do you not remember that he sacrificed a $150 job as county purchasing agent to take the job of commissioner at just about half the price? Such willingness to cut one's income down to serve the _taxpayers has always seemed passing strange, considering the “high price of living. Possibly Mr. Rutherford did it for the glory men glory has a cash value, and they are willing to pay the price to get it. Still, it seems queer, even if he did buy glory in this fashion, that he paid such an awful price. The halos of the King county commissioners woyld be dear at $10 each Rutherford hasn't much of a past. He isn't great financier or business man. He is simply Al Rutherford, county commissioner and patriot Finally, there is Charley Beckingham. Nobody Charles, for that would be too formal for a glad-hand politician He is “one of the boys.” Also he is a county commissioner If anybody can tell of one thing that Charley has ever dane for the taxpayers that was against the interests of any | of his friends, will he please stand up and be counted? “Charicy” has a whole lot of friends whose interests are op- posed to keeping down expenses in the county. They need the moncy, and they get it in salaries, contracts and the like When friends are to be taken care of at the taxpayers expense, Charley wants it known that he is the only real alli other things than ands done out countless tho It is the habit of the board of To some known as a calls him gator in the stream. os As you will notice, “Charley” is of the smooth, oval-faced variety of politician. He can read, write and spell, and has studied arithmetic. He knows enough of finance to add th sands of dollars to payrolls and contracts—and what more does a glad-hand politician need to know? “Charley's” picture, from The Star's portrait is m taken some ten years ago no later one. Dut if you add a little more flesh, and also rumple his hair a trifle where it is banged down over his forehead in the photo, you will get a very fair idea commissioner men today This is the bunch. Perhaps it isn’t quite dignified to speak of the men in control of the large financial affairs of King county as a “bunch,” but those who know the commis- sioners best think that the word will cover all requirements the case. These are the men who spend the taxes and cause the rate of taxation to steadily rise in King county. of the county as he stands among “CHARLEY” BECKINGHAM A5O—ONTY $850 CARH.
