Every taxpayer in the county has a
direct interest in the manner in which
the office of county assessor lis man
aged Any person elected to this
responsible position should have some
special training and fitness for the
work devolving upon him.
Mr. Hervin Rothwell, the republi-
can candidate for this office, has
been resident of Idaho county for
SO years He entered the assessor
office in 1904 when Henry Telcher
was county assessor, served as a
deputy under every assessor since
that time, and is now serving as
chief deputy under Assessor Nash.
Besides being familiar with the
work of the office in every detail, he
is also familiar with all sections of
the county where there is taxable
property. If fitness for the office is
taken into consideration, and it should
by all means, the taxpayers of this
county will see to it that Mr.. Roth
well is made the head of the office
in which he has served so we'll and
faithfully as an employee during the
past nine years.--Kcoskia Mountaineer
