EXPERT'S REPORT OF COUNTY BOOKS (Continued from first page.) and submitted to the County Judge for his approval or rejection. If the County Judge approves the requisi tion It should be returned to the County Clerk attached to the Invoice by the person or llrm furnishing the supplies or material. The requisition system can also be employed in a simi'ar manner as to the various road, districts. I would a'so recommend doing away with the printed form books In the recording department of the Clerk's office. These books cost about one third more than the ordinary blank book, and besides about one third of the space Is not utilize!, thereby mak ing them very expensive books for the County to us 3, where the blank Looks would serve the purpose just as we 1, inasmuch as you have a book typewriter ii this, department. I appreciate very much the cour- t,'sls which have been extended to me by Mr. Doatman, Mr. Marvin and their deputies, and I fully approve of the changes they have made In handling certain lines of County bus iness in their respective offices. In conclusion I will say that while some minor errors and discrepancies have been found, nothing has appeared to Indicate anv intention to mislead or defraud on the part of any of the officials. , Respectfully submitted, J.

It Is the desire of President-elect TaJt to give the Pacific Coa3t representation In his cabinet, but up to the present time no Coast man has been selected, no has any particular cabinet office been set aside for a Pacific Coast man. There 1b a very strong belief that Richard A. Ballinger of Seattle could have a cabinet office If he desired It, but be himself has discouraged his friends who have been urging hia appointment and has strongly indi- wir hi Y 4 -V 4' RICHARD A. BALLINGER. cated that he has no desire to again take up official work at the national capital. Information comes from various sources that Secretary Garfield will not be continued in the cabinet after the fourth of March. ' There has been no formal announcement to this ef fect, but men who have talked with the President-elect assign various reasons for their belief. If it Is true that Mr. Garfield is not to be in the Taft cabinet and the incoming Presi dent should insist upon Judge Ball inger taking a cabinet office, his most likely appointment would be that of Secretary of the Interior.
