Vivian, the man who says he car
res the jefferson County vote in his
vest pocket, worked for six months
on the board Of county commission
ers to have the Third Commissioner
District boundary lines changed so
that it would include all that part of
the valley south of Bear Creek to
Platte canon. so that he could nomi-
nate "Hand-Picked" valley man for
commissioner. Had he been sue
cessful, the mountain district would
have been without representative
on the board of county commission
ers. We congratulate Bob. Downes

featinr the dirty deal Vote for

efficiency in sneering wav. etc.
Now, do you know that the treasur-
crs office is doing about one third
more business now than when Bond
end Flemminr was in that office?
And did you know that Bond and
Fleming got the records of that Of
ice "hnllcd" up so they did not
know head from tail and th't Guy
.Iuchem spcnt nearly nm entire mon
n streightcning up the records and
training Bond and Fleming 60 they
could run the office. Well this is
fact. and we dare Vivian and his

Taxpayers. take a peek at your tax
notices or tax receipts just before
you 20 TO vote At next Tuesdays
primary election. and see how your
taxes have increased in the last two
yearn. A part Of this increase is
due 20 the increased valuation
placed on your land by the County
Assessor. "Soakum" Klein. present
county assessor. ably assisted by his
deputy "Sonkum" Hogan, increased
the valuation Of Jefferson County
about two million dollars in the last
two years. A grent part Of this In
crease was because Of an increase of
fifty dollars per acre In Eastern
Jefferson county. Now "Sonkum"
Hogan, arothcr "hand-pickcd"
man has been selected by the Vivion
crowd ns their candidate for county
assessor. and It IL said that "Soak-
nm" Klein will be his deputy should
hogan be elected. and they will con-
tiDue TO Soak" the taxpayers for
another two years. Klein. you
know, wanted to be appointed To n
place with the State Tax Commits
SION, but before they would consider
him mt all. he had to prove his
ability to soak" the taxpayers on
valuations. and he "soakcd 'em"
hence the sotriquet.
