Letter to Editor April 20, 1954 Dear Editor; A movement is underway tc secure parimutuel betting foi O’Neill and “building a track for l.orse racing, auto racing, ath letic field, 4-H work and other activities.” . The parimutuel is a multimil lion dollar racket for the pro moters across our nation. It is made to look desireable by dona tions of a few well placed thou sands in county fair, 4-H club and other worthwhile activities — if you accept the gifts you can’t condemn the racket — but in reality it takes out far more money for its own coffers than it returns to a community, be sides the riff-raff of undesive able society that follows in its wake. The report on Ak-Sar-Ren race meet for 1952, as compiled by John M. Gilchrist company CPA, August 31, 1952, shows thal the total bets for the 35 days were $12,922,313.00. The mutuel commission was 10 percem oi that, or $1,292,231.30. After ex penses, including donations tc county fairs and other benefits, a net income of $319,110.82 was left to the promoters. Two more parimutuels were established in Nebraska in 19C3, making a total of six mutuels, and it is estimated that $19,000, 000, or an increase of $2,000,COG was bet last year compared tc 1952. It’s a growing menace. If we have citizens who can afford — and must pour their money into the parimutuel cof fers—we have automobiles and busses, let them go where they ire, but spare O’Neill and sur rounding communities with growing boys and girls from that terrible monster.
