SAVINGS CLAIM OF INCUMBENT HIT BY KNIGHT Continuing his refutation of claims and issues raised by the incumbent district attorney in a handbill being distributed throughout the county, Ben B. Knight, candidate for district attorney, yesterday hit at the "Proven Economy" contention in the circular. BEN KNIGHT "The circular declares the incumbent is asking re-election on his own record," declared Mr. Knight. "That being so, are not the voters, and especially the taxpaying voters, entitled to a fair statement of that record, or are they to be misled by glittering generalities? "Under the heading 'Proven Economy' the circular declares first that economy 'marks' his record; that the 'records reveal that during his incumbency the cost of maintaining the district attorney's office has been cut approximately $10,000, a saving of approximately 20 per The record reveals just the opposite.

Let's look at it. "In 1933 the legislature eliminated from the district attorney's office, an annual salary of $600 a year theretofore paid by the county to 'an additional' stenographer. No other change was made. But despite such reduction, the amount allowed by the county budget since then for maintaining the district attorney's office has steadily increased. Here are the figures: "In 1932-33 (which was prior to the above legislative reduction) the budget allowance for the succeeding fiscal year, 1933-34, it was increased to and for the present fiscal year, 1934-35, the incumbent asked for $9150, and was granted $8600.

"It should be borne in mind that the foregoing budget allowances for 'maintaining the district attorney's office," do not include the cost of prosecution of criminal cases in the superior and justice's courts, such as jurors', witnesses' and reporter's fees. These costs are taken care of by separate budget allowances; and they, too, have been increased during the incumbent's term, notwithstanding that the work of the district attorney's office has been much lessened by the repeal of Fifty Airships Already On Program for 2-Day Program for Flying Show The general committee in charge of the American Legion flying show and airport dedication to be held Saturday and Sunday, November 10 and 11, met yesterday and heard reports from Perry Pond and Hollis Peck, aviators who covered almost 400 miles over the week-end and visited principal central valley airports in quest of additional entries for the big local event. According to Peck and Pond they contacted fliers at Sacramento, Stockton, Modesto and Merced, receiving assurances that at least three Sacramento airmen will bring planes for the Santa Cruz show, and that at least two apiece will come from each of the other cities. This number will be in addition to the approximately 50 ships already assured for the two-day program.
