Assessment of property and taxa
tion based on anything short of even
and exact justice amounts to confsca-
tion. If one property owner pays
less than he should another pr perty
owner pays more than he should. We
should not complain if we get a
square deal. But that is what the
tax dodger isn't looking for. He
doesn't want that kind of justice.
He wants tax exemption. Old John
D. Rockefeller was never in favor
of equal taxation, except that ne es-
cape and the other fellow paid the
bill.
What Clearwater county needs is
lot of advertising. People on the
outside don't know there is such a /
county. We need more people and
more business. There has been too
much politics; too much belly aching
about imaginary bogy men and politi-
cal COLLINS warranted to get the
people if they don't watch out and
keep a gang of political fakirs at the
public pie counter. One dinky saw
mill would be worth more and do more
to develope Clearwater county than
all the ringsters and their rot that |
have been and could be imposed on a |
suffering county like Clearw water.
What Clearwater county needs is a |
chance to grow.
One of the old Court house gang
predicts that Clearwater will not |
build another bridge across the Clear
water river in ten years. Probably
not. 1t will take the county ten
years to pay for the bridges the out
going administration built, and more
than this there isn't any need of
another bridge on the Clearw water.
One on the North Fork at Ahsahka is
needed
