REPLIES TO AUDITORS CLAIM
or REDUCING MORGAN
COUNTY DEBT

Mr.. EDITOR
/ notice the present Democratic
candidate for county auditor is
seeking to create the impression he
is reducing the county debt. What
is county debt?
Everybody understands it to be
the bonded debt of the county;
bonds heretofore issued to raise
funds for the repair of damage done
by the food Of 1913; bonds issued
to pay the county's portion of the
costs of constructing the various
macadam inter-county highways as
constructed prior to the time when
a Republican legislature over the
veto of Democratic governor, pro-
vided a gasoline tax for road con-
struction.
These bonds were issued and this
debt incurred years ago under the
then existing laws. Such bonds had
fixed dates of maturity. At the
time of issue, tax was levied for
their payment They have matured
in large amounts during the last
four years. OF course as they were
paid, just in such proportion has the
county debt decreased. Nothing
more than the payment of debt
created and provided for by law. A
payment that was inescapable. Don't
forget that there are about $780,
900 more to pay that were properly
created and issued in the same way;
and don't forget that there would
have been thousands more issued,
and to be paid for the roads con-
structed during the last four years
had Governor Donahey had his way.
If elected county auditor, it will
become our duty to see that Morgan
county levies sufficient tax to pay
the remaining bonded debt, because
it will have to be paid, but we shall
claim no credit for reducing the
debt. It's simple enough-with the
gasoline tax providing sufficient
money for the county's portion OF
road costs, in addition to the usual
levy, there need be no more bond
issues un ess in emergency. The
former bond issues are rapidly be-
coming due and are paid as due,
therefore the bonded debt will soon
be wiped out. Taxes then, may be
reduced, of course, with no bonded
Indebtedness to pay

snly follows as a logical result of

tor claims credit for saving the

ers. There has never been a clerk

ers in Morgan county, and if elect

In conversation with an oil
man recently we learned that we
may be able to write a few thou.
sand acres little later. We are OF
the opinion that if the land owners
would have their leases written and
all go together we would get de-
velopment sooner. At present there
are three nice blocks in Bristol
not under lease.
Wilson Henderson has his barn
about completed.
The older we get the more we

Recently we came by where Tai
lytown used to be. We have never
been able to get the lay of that once

is in beautiful location. Some
time when we can, we want to tell
you who sleeps there.
L. T. Jenkins who had his wrist
badly mashed and broken some
time ago, is getting along nicely
Someone anxious for some easy
money rushed his name to the ar

Jenkins will need nothing of the
kind, he is glad to know that had
he lost his hand he could have
bought one that would have been SO
much better than a hand that comes
with the system.
There seems to be a fight on for
game warden-petitions are being

there, we will postpone our visit,

Mass Circulation Drive,

Philadelphia Toilers Challenge Cleveland in

Yesterday began the campaign to
build a mass circulation for the
Daily Worker. In Philadelphia the
drive began a few days ahead of

Philadelphia, "this is only the be-

is a good start"
Goal Is $4,000 More.
The goal of the mass circula-
ton campaign is: To secure with
in two months, from April LIST, to
June LIST, 10000 additional Daily
Worker mail subscribers; 10000
additional copies a day in bundle
orders, to be distributed mainly
in the shops, factories, mines and
mills; $4,000 in contributions
from workers organizations and

j0DL-ESS FIGURES
Favors Hoover Plan of
Fighting Jobless
BULLETIN.


WASHINGTON, d. c., April l.
Green, speaking before the Sem
ate Committee today in favor of
Hoover's fake building program
and against insurance for the job
less admitted: ''The workers
simply are turned adrift and
the government will be forced to
take care of them or we will have
a revolution on our hands,"
WASHINGTON, April Acting
as Hoover's bootlicking agent, Will
lam Green, misleader of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, today lied
before the Senate commerce com
mittee on the number of unem-
ployed in the United States.
Green said there were only $780,
900 out of work in the United States
in February. The official figures
previously issued by the American
Federation of Labor showed that
there was an average of 25 per
cent of its members out of work,
which applied to the American work
ing class, would give over 100000.
Figures issued a year ago by
Senator Wagner, Tammany tool, and
published by Stewart Chase in
Prosperity a Fact or MYTH show
that at the point of highest produc-
ton in 1929 there were 100000
unemployed.
In his testimony Green unwilling
ly exposed his ling figures. He
said Approximately one worker in
every four was out of work" There
are 35,000,000 workers in the United
States. Zone worker in every four
out of work" would mean 8,700,000
without Jobs.

throughout the world will lay
down their tools and demon
strate in solidarity against the
capitalist system, against i'm
perialist war preparations, for
the defense of the Soviet Union, for
work or wages, and against wage
cuts.
Takes Place in World Crisis.
In the present period of sharp
capitalist crisis, with 100000
workers in the United States job
less, the May Day demonstrations
of the international working class
will again bring out the rotten
foundation of capitalist society and
inevitable collapse of the present
social order.
Prepare Mass Political Strike.
May Day is a weapon of poll
teal class action in the hands of
the workers against the capitalist
class. The mass political strike,
the central slogan on May Day, is
training and preparing the workers
for the final overthrow of capital
ism. May Day represents the in
ternational action on the part of
the world working class in the
struggle against militarism and
war.
Make Wide Preparations.
Conferences are being called all
over the country, for a united front
of all working class organizations,
under the leadership of the Com
munist Party, for mass demon
stration on May Day.

be held April 4; Detroit, Sunday,
