VP WJ '33 To the Voters of Wasco County: Since announcing my candidacy for the office of County Assessor I have made a thorough study of assess ment work and have also investigated methods employed in other counties, and I feel that the system now in vogue in Wasco county is expensive, faulty and in many ways obsolete, leading to duplication of work and a consequent accumulation of inaccuracies. It is my opinion that a change can be made that will not only bring about a yearly saving to the county of several times the assessor's salary, but will also result in a balanced tax roll, free from bumps and in equalities, and if nominated and elected I will strive to bring this change about. I have lqng contended that the expense in connectioii with imposing a tax consumes too much' of the levy and the county, in its affairs, should practice the same economy most of us have found necessary at home. In closing: I desire to emphatically state that if I am nominated and elected assessor, I will never be tray the trust and confidence imposed in me by the voters of Wasco county and I will never use the in fluence of that office to enter into unfair competitio n with any one.
