The undersigned has made but lit
tie stir in his position as candidate
for reelection to the Office of county
auditor, for several reasons. Either
I have been good auditor or a poor
one. If the latter be the case I
might as well save my time and mon
ey and get back to the woods If
the former is the case, as I feel GER
tain it is, others must know it, and
it is not necessary for me to blow
my own horn.
I have worked faithfully for two
years in the service of the people and
have accomplished much that was
needed in the matter of systematizing
the Office, opening new records,
which should have been opened years
ago, bringing up the neglected back
work, and putting matters generally
in good shape for whomsoever might
succeed me in the Office. 49,.

lacking in nerve and business sys-

beyond the limit of clerk hire allow
ed by law, and in so doing would
have placed a limit on the work to
be done. -
Expecting, however, to pay out of
my own pocket for all extra clerk
hire, at once put an extra force at

For Good Roads.

Many business men and farmers
appear to misunderstood the Dunn
amendment which is to be voted on
next Tuesday. They say that it will
increase the taxation and that they
have enough already. It is true that
it will increase the taxation the
amount that the people of this coun-
ty will pay is Insignificant compared
with the benefits that will be receiv-
ed.
County Auditor George says that
the average land tax on forty acres
in the town of FROM is $40. At
the present time, the farmer is pay
ing one fourth of one mill year
state road and bridge tax and on an
average forty in the town of FROM
this amounts to $.04. The amendment
proposes to increase this tax to one
mill which would mean an increase
on this average forty Of from four
cents to fourteen cents year.
