“My record though not perfect
sad not what 1 would like it to be,
is one of which I am proud. In my
tenure of office I have one thing in
mind and that is a reasonable tax
rate and better business manage-
ment of Young County. Of course,
I know the County was heavily
bonded and those things can not be
shaken off over night but with able
assistance the credit of the County
has been brought up to a double A
rating. Whereas, the __ bonds of
Young County which were selling
for $10.00 on l$l00.00, are today sell-
ing on the market for $:2ik00 on
the *100.(0.
"We have gone from operation
in the red to a well balanced hook
j having pn January 1st. 1940. in the
general funds of the County more
than $26,OOO.Oo against an over-draft
of more than $19,000.00 when I
came into the office, this having
been done in face of conditions
which necessitated the spending of
more than four times the previous
expenditures due to the depressed
condition? which required the Coun-
ty to sponsor many projects in as-
sisting the unemployment. 1 have
done my best to keep these projects
where our men would not be out of
work and with the exception of .wo
short shut-downs we have been very
successful in that line. This has
been done without issuing warrants
or bonds as many ojtljeie ^cuntier
have been forced to do, but ineteau
we have ope rat* d all projects on a
cash basis, and are now operating'
that way.
“1 have just recovered from th* *
State $27,201.67 and have a claim:
filed for *166,00<l.or, which I am'
positive will be granted, represent-j
ing the money that was paid in th* |
y«ars gone by on bonds that should
not have been paid by the County,,
and at this time we have a refund
issue in the making that -will place j
the road bonds now being paid by'
the County over in the period where
they will be paid by the gasoline
tax rnd not by levy on the property.
“This refund along with other
planned operations I am positive
will make a substantial tax reduc-
I tion for the year 1940. I realize
that the rate is still high but we
will never cease to work until it
' reaches a lower level where it should
be.
“A« to my legal record. I have
tried many, many caaes during my
term of office and the per cent of
reversals has been very small. The
I County Court now has jurisdiction
over more eases than ever before in
its history.
j “If after you have made a study
of my record and the administra-J
tion of the affairs of our county and
you feel that it is to your own in-
terest and that of this county to re-
-tain me as your Judge, I shall deep
ly appreciate your vote and support
