Editor of The Democrat:
 MT. Dewey's speeches certainly afford one a loud laugh. Just think of 1t, he has appealed to Labor to support him when deep down in his heart he really despises all Unions just as his packers do. The Manufacturers Union is the oldest one in existence. It is not on record, but always has operated under secrecy. Its main goal has always been to suppress labor. Everybody must know that the Re- publican party has always been op- posed to Unions. Franklin D. Roosevelt has always been the champion of Labor. Labor Unions have prospered under his reign.
 Have you ever known of a Re-
 publican candidate who has run
 for the office of president to base
 his campaign on Labor until MT.
 Dewey adopted it as his chief
 weapon? No. never! If MT.

 can name (and so can you) many manufacturers who have fought desperately to stop various Unions from organizing in their factories and when invited to at tend meetings of organizers would Slur upon the mere idea or walk out of meetings which they did at- tend. This, of course, is vile insult to Labor. Although MT. Dewey has appealed to Labor to support him, how can be possibly hope for that support when all Labor realizes that the G. o. P. Party actually despises it, especially at the present time when it has thoroughly beaten it.

Service.
Finally the state constitution
sets up a method for putting a
charter into operation but none for
repeating a charter. If our people
should find the experiment of char
ter unbearable there is no road
back to the present plan.
Under the present plan every
four years the voters can change
every individual in office or any
party in office, can adopt any pro-
gram and bring about any reform.
So under the present plan it all
comes down to the intelligence and
wisdom of the voter. Charter
assumes that the voter is incompe-
tent and passes everything to the
bureaucracy. The Citizens Com
mittee has confidence in the voter
and is afraid of the bureaucracy.

Charter is further denied juris-
diction by the State Constitution
and laws over the county school
system which is administered by
the county board of education ap-
pointed by the Governor and the
county superintendent of educa-
ton who is appointed by the coun-
ty board of education. Charter

ions of state law.
Charter has no jurisdiction over

tural county. Charter will have
nothing to do with any of the now
existing systems for the care of

increased to meet interest if we
are to have enough left to run the
county. Under the Charter the
total of outstanding bonds is linn
tied and no exceptions permitted.
The limit is low, seven per cent
of the assessed values. Further,
the amount that can be issued in
any one year is limited to 4 of
one per cent of the assessed values
and the only exception to this is by
a favorable vote on a referendum
to the voters and then only for
school bonds or refunding Of prin-
cipal on old bonds of the present
county administration. New bonds
can not be refunded.
"The Brookings Institution found
at the time of their report that
about 81 cents out of each dollar
paid in taxes would have been re-
quired to pay off principal and
interest due that year, which did
not leave enough to run the coun-
ty. The only way the county could
run without increasing taxes was
to refund the principal due, post
pone it's payment, and thereby pile
up interest. Any farmer knows
he would lose his farm if he ran
his own financial affairs in that
way.
"The restrictions on bonds will
keep the county from running wild
on bond issues and prevent the
need that otherwise will surely
come for increased taxes to meet
increasing interest on county debt.
"The up-county residents know
their county government and know
where the waste is. With a coun-
ty manager running the business
of our county government, econo-
mics will resuplt and the Charter
has many features that will COM
pei economies. l have in mind
such features as the budget sys-
tenn, centralized purchasing, and
provisions denying the council
members those types of power that
can be used to let contracts, hand
out jobs, and spend where it will
attract the most votes or be DO
litically beneficial.
THE Charter is the best chance
the up-county farmers and resi-
dents of this generation are likely
to have to hold down debt, bring
about economies, and in conse-
quence make it possible to reduce
taxes. Politicians who want to
hold on to their jobs and present
powers naturally fight the char
ter. The more the up-county farm
ers and residents learn about the
actual facts of the Charter, the
more they will fight back against
the down-county political leaders. /"
