Let the Whole Truth Be Told Taxpayer Letter to the Journal
A letter to the Journal from another Taxpayer defends the Democratic County Commissioners against a partisan 1890s style critique. It argues debt was necessary for roads and bridges and school funding, cites auditor reports showing $56,993.52 in county indebtedness, compares 1899 Republican finances with 1911 Democratic spending, and urges presenting full facts about taxes and improvements to voters. The writer accuses the other Taxpayer of bluster and selective figures while asserting tangible road and school gains under current leadership.
