(Political Advertisement) An Open Letter to Dear Friends: I had wanted to visit each cf you at your homes and farms, but due to the weather and road conditions this spring I found that impossible so will use this media. This question has been asked me: "Why would you want a Commissioner's job?" Very frankly and to the point I am seeking the office in the interest of better government for Cass County. We have a family of three boys growing up in Cass Co. and they, as well as many others, will be future vot ing citizens. There are conditions and situations which should be remedied. In regard to the tax situation, I am very tax conscious and realize there are too many inequal ities. The condition and squeeze that the farmer, laborer and small business man find themselves in at present should be protested by a resounding vote. Each one of us should use his right of suffrage and express himself by voting. Do you realize that 12c of the price cf a 24c loaf of bread is hidden tax? We are not paying a 20 tax (as many think) but 50 and above. In regard to roads and highways, to a degree we are headed in the right direction. We need com-, petent men and engineers on the job down to the last maintenance man. I propose a road plan whereby the roads needed and constructed will be based on actual use and service to the greatest number of our citizens. No political roads but a point system (not like but similar to the state system.) By investigation, I find Cass Co. has paid $4C00 per motor grader over and above what the state pays for similar machines. If the Co. Commissioners cannot use the state purchasing agent, and if I am elected, I will propose legislation to that end. We also need better public relation with the state department. Many counties are getting benefits which Cass Co. is not. Your Commissioner should have business experience (as he spends thousands of the tax payers' dollars), be intelligent and have a limited knowledge of road construction. I feel it is an important office for the above reasons and would give it much of my time and effort. Vote for Cerald W. "Jack" Ault, Commissioner Candidate for District I. Sincerely, G. W.
