WM WEDNESDAY. nrT^T,K FACE THE FACTS| When the voters go to the polls on Tuesday, November ti ff should be concerned with just one thing: The election of til'' best qualified for the positions they seek. Partisan politics ami . f'ren ^B" cal prejudice must be pushed into the background, and only the ' interest of the county as a whole should be considered. ' "est WHAT WE OFFER H* Since 19.30 the majority of the officers of this county have ' ^B3 representatives of the Democrat Party, and since 1930 our count enjoyed a growth and development that is unparalleled in its hi t s H*" Not all of this credit belongs to the administration of the p-nt ^B power, but progress speaks for itself, and the stamp of prow ! leadership has certainly been a force for good. '>MVe ^B One reason for this advancement has been that the countv ernment was in friendly co-operation with the State and Nai^i" ^B Governments, both of which have been strongly Democratic. Work' as three cooperative, harmonious groups, more outside aid h is l H> brought to Brunswick during the past 10 years than durintr am- J?en H? decade in her history. ,ei' II Nothing should be done by the voters that will disrupt th i vantageous relationship that now exists between the County Cm- . H1 ment and the State and National Government. 1 GOOD OFFICIALS H Not only has this county enjoyed the added benefits of r . Hi ernment that was in harmony wun ine siaie anu uauuuai eummiMQ. n tions, the Democrat voters of this county have had just cause to be gl proud of their representatives in office, and of the service they have rendered. There is no better example of this than the fact that six H men who have occupied key positions in the County Government dur- W ing the past two years are now holding positions of responsibility and M trust in our armed services. Our army, our navy and our coast guard B pays no attention to politics, and when they named these men to B special duty, they did so upon the basis of their own ability. B WHAT HAS BEEN DONE 9 The thought dearest to the heart of the average taxpayer is sav- B ing money, and in no better way is it possible to show the good record B of the Democrats. In 1930 Brunswick County was hopelessly in debt. B had defaulted in the payment of interest and principal on her bonded B indebtedness, ahd had an accumulated debt of $2,654,499.05. Of-this B amount interest accrued and unpaid amounted to $710,149.05. The county's bonds were a drag on the market at $18-$20. The tax rate was $2.65 to $3.00. Todav the bonds are selling for $73.00?and are hard to get. B The reason? Well, Brunswick is meeting her obligations, both for in- B terest and principal, every time they come due. And the reason she ;B " 1 -c ' k" -nfimjinff nlan devised and placed into 1^1 can do mis is Decause ui hw ,?-, . operation by the Democrat officers, at an immediate savings of S9o,- M 000.00 in 1938, and the same amount each year since, when the in- ? terest rate was lowered from 5 percent to 2 percent. Since that time |B interest coupons in the amount of $38,000 and bonds retired each year in the amount of $50,000 have further materially reduced the outstanding indebtedness of the county. At the same rate of progress, ; in 1961, the entire indebtedness of the county will have been retired. THE TAX RATE |l In order to do these things, it has never been necessary for the jl county to levy a tax rate higher than $1.60 each year. "This rate has B been raised to pay on indebtedness, and has been used for that pur- IB pose, and not to pay exhorbitant salaries to unnecessary employees, B as has been charged by persons who seek to discredit our county B Government in the hope of personal gain. I It ought to be mentioned right here that this heavy bonded in- B debtedness is a load inherited by the Democrats from their precedes- B sors in office, for not one cent has been raised since 1931 through a B bond issue. Our officers have had to know how to run the county B government without putting the citizens further and further in d< B and they have never resorted to the unholy practice of borrowing B themselves out of debt. It lias been a hard row to face the storm of B criticism brought on by increased taxes, but our officials have Intel B the courage and the honesty to insist upon the policy of pay-as-you-go. B And, just for the purpose of keeping the record straight, the B current tax rate of $1.60 is a mere boy when compared to the rate of B $3.00 in 1929, before the Democrats came into office. B The tax department has been consolidated into one efficient unit, B operating from one office with one set of employees charged with B the responsibility and held accountable for the service and efficiency H rendered. This has meant that taxpayers could get business-like action B on their tax matters, and that they could depend upon finding some- H one who knew what he was doing to wait on them at any time they fl were at the county seat. B Not only has this consolidation worked for greater economy and I efficiency in tax collections, it has made it possible to render a strict B accounting- for every dollar collected, and there has been no whisper I of corruption or shortage. I "COURTHOUSE RING" I Despite the fine record of the Democrat office holders, and not- H withstanding the terrible mess into which the county had fallen be- I fore the Democrats began their term of service, there is strong pres- I sure now to have the citizens throw down the present administration fl in order to return to the old days. They call the Democratic party lead- H ers the "Courthouse Ring," and they charge the public officials with meddling. I But let's see for ourselves. 9 First, just who is in the "Courthouse Ring"? It couldn't be for- 9 mer county attorney, S. B. Frink, because he is a Lieutenant in the K U. S. Coast Guard. They can't claim that R. I. Mintz, former Register of Deeds, is a member, because he has been in the U. S. Army for I about 18 months, and filling the rank of Captain is a full time job. I Bill Wells, then? Nope. He's gone, too. The United States Navy 1 thought well enough of his ability to commission the former negisic' < | of Deeds as a Lieutenant. There's no dragging the name of Mr. Char- IB lie Gause into the vicious circle that is the product of political imagi- IB nations, because he has resigned from public office upon the orders IB of his physician. And former coroner John G. Caison voluntarily re- H linquished that office to enter the U. S. Coast Guard. E Sp, the "Courthouse Ring" is just a political bugaboo, a ghost to be shouted down by the opposition as they seek to take the minds ot | the voters off the real issues. 11 WHAT IS OFFERED ? I By the way, who have the Republicans been able to furnish joni IB the ranks of their political leaders to the armed forces of the Unite" j States? Only one man who has been on their party ticket during the IB past four elections is in the service either as an officer or as an en- IB listed man. He is H. R. Hewett, the only man they were able to elect. That seems to afford a pretty fair comparison of the relative ability I of men offered for office by the two parties. 11 This is no time to risk the best interest of our county. This is no | time to invite discord and a lack of understanding. Never before has | it been more important for the normal functions of our County Gov- I ernment to progress smoothly and with utmost harmony. When our l county officials go to Raleigh, they must contact Democrats; when I our county officials go to Washington, they must contact Democrats. IB It is up to the voters to keep Brunswick in step in this march of pro- 11 gress by seeing to it that there shall be no lack of harmony in our con- I tacts with our State and National leaders.
