In Addition to $20,000 Paid Clan for Services During Year, Road and Charges Frank H. Paul By Robert Bastien Bermann Possibility of another grand jury investi- gation into the affairs of County Commis- lees Lou Smith, already under indictment in connection with the ferry deal, rae Thursday as the result of sansational chi , made by Frank H. Paul; who is campaign-— ing to succeed Smith. Paul charges that a system of abso! |feudalism, rivaling anything in medi |history, has been instituted under Smith’s regime in the second district, embracing the south end of King county. ‘ He declares that county road work has been con- | verted into a political football to such an extent that — communities that vote “right” are given far more than their share of highway improvements, while communi- ties that vote “wrong” go virtually roadless. The road work, he asserts, is strictly a family affair, — ithe jobs being distributed almost without exception jamong the families of Smith’s political lieutenants. Thi system, Paul says, so rigidly enforced that many “select” families are growing wealthy on county | funds, while their neighbors are in actual want for lack of work. | The most glaring example of this condition, Paul charges, |No. 8. “There are no less than 18 O’Briens on this one payroll,” “His wife and his sons and his sisters — jmoney from the county in 1921. The total amount paid to {the family for the one year was more than $20, “But that isn’t all. During the same year the commissioners paved a special cross-road from the baronial castle—the ;town of O’Brien—to the Pacific highway. “This road, together with a bridge which was constructed }at the same time, entailed an expenditure of more than $66,000 of the taxpayers’ funds—making a total of nearly | $90,000 that we gave as tribute in 1921 to the Clan O’Brien. |And the entire O’Brien school district contributed only a |little over $6,600 to the road fund during that period! “But it isn’t simply the money. Morgan O’Brien is absolute monarch of all he surveys. Talk about em- perors and sultans—why, they seem insignificant be- | side O’Brien. He's the Pooh Bah of the whole works— | and he rules his domain with an iron hand. “When the people of Des Moines and Sunnydale— who had dared to vote against his patron saint, Lou Smith, at the last election—went to him to ask for { needed road improvements, he laughed in their faces and told them with calm effrontery: “*You fellows voted the wrong way last election. Don’t come back asking me for anything until you vote right.’ “And that was all the satisfaction they ever got.” Paul declared that he considered the road conditions in Smith’s district far more serious than the ferry situation, which brought about the indictment of all three commis- ~ {sioners earlier in the week, but he said he would not care the is running fof office in a district. | “All my facts, however,” he added, “could easily be ob- jtained by the grand pal Bb I got them all at the courthouse from books which are open for everyone's in- spection, Just a casual survey of the road district payrolls will convince anyone that there’s something almighty rotten going on.” From his examination of these books, Paul has made the following tabulations on the O’Brien family: ON ROAD PAYROLL, DISTRICT NO. 3, IN 1921 Morgan O’Brien, road supervisor, Mary O'Brien, his wife. Nellie O’Brien, his cousin’s wife. | (Turn to Page 7, Column 9)
