To The Voters OF
The Fourth District

A political meeting was called at
the Willow River hall August 26,
1910, and very small crowd of peo-
pie appeared, mostly candidates.
Among the speakers was County
Commissioner E. B. Greenwald, who
made very eloquent speech as usu-
al, tossed few bouquets to himself
and cited the Improvements he made
on the county board, criticized the
former commissioners, and said that
he made very good Improvement
on the poor farm.
He named the poor farm, county
home, and saved considerable money
there; however he admitted that
they had only 18 inmates. When
my father was commissioner, there
were between so and 60, and the
county levied $4,000 in the poor
fund. Last year the commissioners
levied $4,000 in the same fund, so
where is your saving there Mr..
Greenwald?
Commissioner Greenwald also stat
ed that he made a very substantial
improvement in the Pine county
highway department. He inspected
some work where power shovel and
two trucks were working, and said
that the shovel was running empty
half of the time. Well, thought
that the shovel was paid by the yard
for the dirt moved. If it was run
ming empty it did not cost the county
any money, yet that was the reason
he fired Jorgenson.
He did not tell how many miles
of road were built in his district in
the last three years. He did not
state that before he became COM
missioner the county received one
third of a cent gas tax money, and
since he was on the board, the legis-
lature raised the gas tax, and the
county received one full cent of gas
tax, or twice as much as before he
got on the board. This money was
all spent Where did Mr.. Green
wald build any roads in the past
years? We will let the voters de-
eide! I think that the money went
into some other commissioner dis
trict and the fourth district was neg
lected.
Mr.. Greenwald informs us that the
work on the county board is very
interesting and that he likes the
work. 1 always found that when a
fellow did not do anything, his work
was easy.
He also spoke at length on the
equalizing of the real estate proper
ty in the county, and said that he
made some noticeable Improvements
Yes, I should say he did! The taxes
on my mothers farm on the E12 OF
the NWA Section 1-44-20 was S39. "a
in 1885 and in 1899, on the same farm
the taxes are S54.38. No improve
ments were made on this farm, yet
the taxes are S14.54 higher. In look
ing up other taxes in the tax books
I find, since 1885, all taxes were
raised in the same proportion as mine
so if he calls this a record for him
self, he is just shooting in the air and
joking the people for votes.
Yes, Mr.. Greenwald, what we need
on the county board is action and
not eloquent speeches, and you sure
are long on speeches and short on
action.
