An Open Letter
To The Republican Voters Of Morrow County
In furthering my candidacy for the office
of Morrow County Judge I would take this
means of visiting with you, who will in a few
weeks, nominate one of three candidates for
a very important county office. I wish to
also direct my remarks to all those residents
and taxpayers who are shareholders with
you in an incorporate unit of government
conservatively assessed at over 12 million
dollars. I am thinking of Morrow County,
the management of its affairs, its present
and future welfare.
As residents of the county it is your duty
to elect from time to time a managing body
to represent you in administering the bus
iness affairs and public welfare. This is the
Morrow County Court and is composed of
three members, one of which is the County
Judge, and two commissioners, who act as
the governing body of the county and are
directly responsible to you and their oath in
fulfilling their responsibility. When they
assume the oath of office they accept a
huge responsibility in not only directing its
business affairs but in keeping its public
relations and esteem high within the coun
cils of the state and nation. The office of
County Judge should take an active lead in
upholding his oath: "To serve the best in
terests of the county." In doing this he must
have the able and willing assistance of the
two commissioners who are elected to assist
and advise him and who have an equal vote
in directing county business. They are sub
ject to call at any time and are paid on a per
diem basis from public funds. The office of '
Judge is paid a yearly salary and should be
considered a full time job in Morrow County.
It is his sworn duty to take an active lead in
planning, promoting, supervising and pub
licizing all those interests that have a direct
bearing upon the welfare of all the county
and its citizens. In addition to serving with'
the Commissioners as a managing board he
is the Judae of the Jevenile Court, the Pro
bate Court and a member of the County
Age Assistance, General Assistance and De
pendent Children programs in Morrow
County. As the member of other important
boards within the county and state he has
to act with impartiality and with wisdom.
Being County Judge of Morrow County can
be considered a full time position.
In presenting myself for nomination and
election to this important office I do not
consider that I am the perfect answer to the
taxpayers' and voters' prayer. Nor do-1 ex
pect to please all in the administration of its
affairs. In a pre-election statement I make
but one promise: "I will make every effort
to uphold my oath of office." But in assum
ing this oath it will bind me to the perform
ance of, "Serving the best needs of the
County to the best of my ability," which the
oath implies. In fulfilling this oath I MUST
give "value received" service. I sincerely
and emphatically believe I am qualified to
do this. I have disposed of the major portion
of my business interests, which I have been
closely connected with the last thirty years.
I like public service but do not consider my
self a "politician." I like to associate with
and meet on common ground my fellowmen.
From them I have gained a wealth of human
understanding. Have been a heavy taxpay
er for many years and know that taxes are
essential, but believe they should be fairly
distributed. With the encouragement and
financial assistance of the taxpayers our
road system must be rebuilt. This will neces
sitate a well planned and financed program.
I believe that with close supervision and
careful planning this can be done without
squandering public funds. I will be most
careful of public expenditures, but do not
believe in "penny wise and pound foolish
methods."
Thanking you for your kind consideration
in reading this. If you think I am qualified
to .serve you as County Judge for the six year
term a vote for me at the May 21 , 1948 Pri
mary Election would be appreciated.
Welfare Commission, which directs the Old

Look who get? squeezed
Union leaders representing less than one-tenth of railroad emnloves
reject recommendations of President's Emergency board refuse to
negotiate except on their own terms threaten to paralyze nation by strike!
tHB LEADERS of three railroad unions, rep
resenting less than one-tenth of all railroad
employees, have called a railroad strike that
would paralyze the nation.
These leaders refuse to accept a 154 cents
an hour wage increase retroactive to Novem
ber 1, 1947. This increase was recommended
by an impartial Emergency Board appointed
by President Truman.
This increase of 15H cents already has been
accepted bv the 19 other railroad unions. But
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen, and the Switchmen's Union of
North America won't accept what more than
90 of all railroad employes have accepted.
They hav called a strike to get more!
Unions refuse rules discussion
Certain rules chances demanded by these
union leaders which would increase wages
still further were recommended by the
Board. But the union leaders want more
they demand that the railroads put into effect
ALL the changes they asked for. including
those the Board felt should be denied.
On top of this, they Insist that certain rules
changes proposed by the railroads be with
drawnIn spite of the fact that the Board
recommended them! These union leaders
have refused to negotiate except upon these
arbitrary terms.
Greater wage increase not justified
Engineers and firemen are among the high
est paid of all employes in America, as figures
In the box show. This strike threat doesn't
Justify giving a greater increase than other
railroad workers received.
Emergency Boards are a means provided
by the Railway Labor Act in the public inter
est to avoid strikes. The President'! Board,
after hearing evidence for 33 days, made
recommendations based on all the facts in
the case. The railroads have accepted these
recommendations.
Who's to blame?
Although they deplored so large an extra cost
burden, the railroads accepted the report of
the Board because they felt it was in the pub
lic interest to uphold the spirit and intent of
the Railway Labor Act
In contrast, this small group of railroad
union leaders are attempting to flout the
intent and spirit of the Railway Labor Act,
and dictate their own terms.
They have dictated a paralyzing railroad
strike.
You will be the victim!
How long will the American public stand
tor the undemocratic, arbitrary, and abusive
use of the right to strike and the disregard
of the obligation to provide transportation?
How long can the American people permit
a few dictatorial union leaders to defy nhe
processes provided for peaceful settlement
of disputes?
, Force seldom produces settlements that are
ei i her fair or lasting. Moreover, a point b
otten reached when personal interests must
subordinate to the greater public
welfare That is why the railroads have ac
cepted the hmergency Board recommenda-
mns. That is also why the leaders of these
three unions should reconsider their decision
o call a paralyzing strike.
Here is a comparison
of average annual
earnings of engineers
and fireman for 1939
(pre-war) and 1947.
Also shown is what 1947
earnings would have
been if the cents
Compare these wages with what you make!
