Division of the county debated in Prosser letter
W. B. Mathews from Prosser argues for dividing Riverside and Yakima counties to save costs. He asserts the split would reduce salaries and deputy needs, challenge Republican tax claims, and propose that Riverside pay higher taxes for self-government while Yakima remains fiscally light. He notes the need to manage county duties with fewer offices and travel costs.
