To the Voters Of Power County.

Being a candidate for reelection 70
the office Of County Assessor. I desire
70 make a brief statement relative to
my candidacy.
Having served you for a period Of
five years as assessor, I am very
familiar with conditions in all parts
Of the county. being personally
acquainted with practically all The
taxpayers and have knowledge Of
most Of the property owned by them.
Also am acquainted with the assess
ments in the surrounding counties.
from attending meetings Of The State
Board Of Equalization.
During my term in office. I have
endeavOred 70 assess all property on
al equal basis 10 the best Of my abil-
ity and have tried 70 get a lis- and
assess all the property Of the large
interests as well as the smaller farm
ers. and have been criticised for TAX
ing the trouble Of going to the Port
neuf river and counting a bunch Of
cattle I had right 10 believe had not
been given in for taxation correctly
and where I found there we're some
1900 head Of such cattle were not list
ed and was evidently escaping taxa
ton.
l have taken similar action several
times throughout the county and on
each occasion have added considerable
10 the tax rolls.
l have also been criticised for hay-
ing a deputy in my Office doing ny
work for me, and want TO take this
opportunity Of denying this statement.
I had D. G. Brown employed in ny
office during the spring when it was
necessary for me 10 be in the field,
but have not had him employed since
July 1sr.. when the tax roll vas
turned over 70 the county auditor, al
though he has been employed by the
auditor since that time in assisting on
the tax rolls. and as clerk 10 the local
draft board. but has not been employ
ed by me. neither has his salary been
charged 10 my Office.
Owing to a scarcity OF room in the
auditors office, Mr.. Brown has been
doing some Of his work in my office
which gives some people an opporrun-
ity of saying he is in my employ.
During my term as assessor there
has not been over six complaints
made 10 the board OF equalization, and
the board has never made more than
n or two changes in my assess
menrs.
If the voters Of this+county feel that
I have been fair in my assessments
and treatment. l will appreciate your
support for reelection next Tuesday
