A tax on real property IN an I'M.
provement district means tax on
all property. Directly 1t comes
from the real estate, but indirectly
it comes from all personal property
within the district. A building
without improvements rents
for $4,000 per month; with
the improvements rotes for
$4,000. The difference i'll rental
value will much more than pay the

from Ben I. Spikes

Friends and iellow.cltlEens of Ran.
dolph county, Ark:
After many solicitations from
every part Of this county, and with
some hesitation on my part, i come
asking favors at your hands at the
coming primary election, for the
Office of county treasurer of your
county. am no stranger to most
OF the citizens Of this county, but
20 those who may not know me and
whom | may not be able to meet, !
would ask you TO consult with my
friends in your own nelghborhood.
] know i have friends in every
township IN this county who are as
true TO me as the needle TO the pole.
Inquire Of them as to my business
ability TO handle the Office for which
| am asking. Now know it is
little out of the ordinary and little
embarrassing to me IN my present
condition to ask for public place,
but this is not an Office of any great
amount of travel and no very large
records to handle, and the business
is all done here at the county site,
so i am sure / can attend to the du
ties pertaining thereto. Now l
don't want TO deceive anyone and
this is a matter of which | bate TO
speak, but it is a fact that i can't
walk only as helped, or with some
short crutches; but with my affiic.
ton / can audit the accounts and
make these settlements as complete.
ly as most men can. Not so very
long ago my fellow-citizens, many
of ou remember, and i don't say
this IN a braggadocIo way IN the
least, / kept the accounts of all the
county officers, sheriff and collector,
circuit clerk and recorder, and
county treasurer. i made settle
ments with all the constables of
your county and kept the probate
court record in this county and am
thankful to say that when the audit
ing committee came to my part of
the work, they found it as clear as
the noon day sun on bright sum-
mer day.
Now my fellow citizens, as before
stated, am a little knocked out,
but like the rest of humanity, ]
Just can't bear the idea of sitting
around and not trying to do any
thing as long as there is a job /
can do. / want to try to keep
somewhere along the line as best /
can and of course you all know
"self preservation is the first law
of nature" Now it is generally
thought that the county treasurer's
Office does not amount to much, but
fellow citizens, the county treasur-
er's bond Is somewhere between
$50, 600 and 100000, and that
looks like some responsibility, but |
| do not believe there Is a man In
Randolph county that knows any
thing about my business qualitica.
tions, that does not believe | can
attend to the duties of this office.
So after thanking you for past fav-
ors and hoping to meet you all in
person before you cast your vote, ]
am, Respectfully yours,
Ben F. Spikes.
Candidate for Co., Treasurer.
