sen unfortunately for himself has.
But, are we going to stand for a
certain political click running
everything including the old age as
sistance? Mr.. Jansen never was
accused Of taking any money for
himself, was never accused of pad
ding any accounts, and what he
did, was with probably more sin
certify than a lot of things that are
allowed without as much as q pro-
test.
The same must be said for Coun-
ty Commissioner Herzog from the
district Jansen was investigating;
he, too, tried his best to treat the
people of his district fairly without
any personal gains.
We do not condemn the action of
the court; we do not accuse the
jurors of doing anything but their
duty, but we do accuse certain in
dividuals in the old age pension set
up Of singing out one man to get
a lot Of publicity for themselves and
demand that every single one OF
the cases that was ever granted
in this county be investigated.
Every citizen of this county should
have an equal right whether he
makes a mistake, though he
thought he was doing the right
thing, or whether he is one of the
politicians who has his feet prop
ped on his desk and is looking for
a lot of publicity.
Let's keep politics out of relief,
out of old age assistance; in fact,
let's keep everyone out who has
his eyes on politics and publicity
at the expense of the poor class.
Incidentally, the publicity that
was released so far, stated that the
county is to pay back to the state
the sum of about $4,000, inasmuch
as the state must be reimbursed
for any money unlawfully paid to
old age recipients. Might we also
ask why the case was not handled
by out own county attorney, but
by an assistant encouragement of
Burnquist's office at the state CAPT
toll? Yes, the whole matter leaves
a nasty odor in the nostrils of every
fair-minded voter.-St. Cloud News.
