DISTANT TAXPAYER
ASKS CONSIDERATION

c. H. Greenwald of Marion, n. D.,
who is a real estate owner in Pine
county, writes the American few
lines in regard to the proposed federal
forest reserve in eastern Pine county in
which he gives out the good advice to
go slow on the proposition and be
sure of our step. Mr.. Greenwald who
is in the jewelry business in Marion,
is brother of E. B. Greenwald in
Finlayson township, and has visited
here a number of times. His letter
is dated March 25, 1929, and reads as
follows:
'As / look over your papers and
read about the proposed federal forest
reserve it got me to thinking that as
a taxpayer in Pine county, it will put
the burden on less taxpayers if this
area is tax exempt for some time to
come. If l am not mistaken it will
be like here in North Dakota, taxes
go with the airplane and real estate
goes or stays behind the oxcart. Well,
/ don't want to make it too dark.
Please study the question and if you
can do anything, use your good judg-
ment for the best interests of the
taxpayers.
I'VE got a little snow the last few
days again, and it will be some time
yet before the farmers will be able
to get into the fields. My best wishes
to you and ALL"
