How a Lot of Politicians Pull Down $8 Per Day From the Taxpayers’ Strong Box Accountants,” The 1909 legislature provided for nt by the state aud: of Inspection and * supervision of public offices, The purpose was to have a board of ex pert accountants plan a uniform aystem of accountancy and Install More up-to-date methods in the pub He offices of the state, And there is room for improvement of this kind. But, instead of working along these lines, these “expert account ants” picked for their political af fillations, have been keeping busy an trivial matters for the past six months for the evident purpose of making thelr jobs last as long as possible, their jobs being worth $8 a day to them. Making Their Jobs Last. Two of these $8 men have been counting the number of words in the various papers fled in the King county auditor's office, What earthiy purpose that will serve is Deyond conjecture, unless it is to discover that by some chance error the auditor may have charged 10 cents too little, or perhaps, through the same chance, 10 cents too much The “experts” are not confining their “checking” to the present ad ministration, but are going back as far as they like, and that's a life job, with the number of papers that have been filed in the auditor's of fice. The same method is being pur sued by two other $8 men in the county clerk's office. There they are examining instruments filed seven years ago. Just what will be accomplished by them no one has been able to learn. Their line of ex- ‘amination, going over every file, ean show nothing of value or im- portance.
