ec Our republican contemporary is making heroic
effort to excuse the Board of Supervisors dominated
by the Chairman, for what we believe to be extrava
gance and lack of abilitv
The increase in population in Santa Cruz County
IN the past 10 years does not begin to harmonze with
the increase in cost and extravaganza shown
Compare if you will the cost of caring for the
great epidemic of influenza Of 1918,
when practically every inhabitant in the
cod codn5y dS.,o naa $G the disease e. and it, occur
CT Health and the Supervisors who were compelled to
furnish blankets by the gross and employ attendants
10 care Tor and wait Oh the afflicted are proud of
tnelr work Compare their efficiency by results OBJ
taned and it Is all of record in the Supervisors office
ana alter making the comparison then observe if the
charges OF lack of ability and extravaganza is we'll
founded or not
The clerk of the Board distributed INDECENT relief
"1tnout extra cost to the county, under Democratic
administration.
Property then was not assessed at it's real value
as now giving the present board much greater am
ount of tax money to handle and this shonId have c
our taxes One-haf if it had been handled in husDocc
IKE manner, free from extravagance and free from
using county funds with which to pay political debts
1he county printing IS one Of the typical instances
Inc main point the Republican paper endeavors
to make, continuously III every issue is that county
voters should vote for the and not for the party
oeneVing tnat this propaganda having been so sue
ceS01n LII the past tour years, and made pintos out
OF weak minded Democrats is worth while in its on
deaVOr to continue to pull the wool over their ewes
we belleVe this constitutes it's logic when we all
Know that the Democratic voters ounumber their o.
ponents to l; we admit there are number of weak
MINDED pntos in our party, but are quite certain we
can find the TIMBER for filling all Of the county Of
tlces that are emnenty fit both as regards
and ability, in about the same proportion e to y as
can be found in the party of opponents and this
tan we intend to elect them by warning our brethem
to beware of the propaganda intended to make pntos
out of them ~ 'D''-N0 p'''V00
Inc Republican papers reiterated statement that
tne Board must let the contract for printing to the ow
est bidder therefore the lowest responsible
bidder MUST BE A REPUBLICAN. The public v
knows full well that this bid as let to the Herald is
matter m which there is responsibility, and the re-
sponslolty if any, is covered by bond but even were
1t not covered by bond The Herads continued pro- ~
Paganda above referred to- would not give great con-
Iloence except to weak-ninded pintos
Our contemporary went so far as to assert that
one OF the present Board presumably Henderson, is d
Democrat simply because he opposes too much ex7
travagance. ''O'' "a
When no great disaster or unusual occ1,ronce
mas happened upon which to base plea to the FAX
commission for $4,000 more than the Budgct calls
Io does not impress one with superior ability of the
makers OF said Budget and that fact alone is sufficient
PROOF OF the extravaganza and lack of ability Of the
present Board ~ '-''y u Vle
