To the Voters of this County Admittedly, one of the many serious questions that we are having' to taieet during the continuance of our present heavy depression, iaj the burden of our Extremely high taxes and as we look toward the futtire, we do not see any promise whatever of relief. • It is common talk among our voters why is it, that up to tWs time Judge Allen has refused to give to the voters any platform, or even one word, to the effect that he intends to even try to do anything, toward helping out our taxpayer*, if ha should again be elected for a .third term. ; . - - Even lw», most admit, that fdr years he has added thonra-mfs -of dollars to the already heavy tax burden of our citizens by allowing his court reporter to wrongfully draw from our county tax money, the salary of $1,200.00 per year for let® than four days work a month, end also by his keeping in office an entirely needless County Court ! Probation Officer, who has p1«o drawn $1,200.00 per year from our County Treasury for practically no work. Each salary was later cut by our County Board to $1,080.00 per year. He made no effort to stop, or even cut, either of these two salaries at any time during our present depression and he has made no promise to our voters that he will not continue both of these offices with their present salaries amounting to $2,160.00 per year, for the next four years, if he is re-elected and this would! take an additional $8,640.00 more from our taxpayers' money. ft is being talked by some voters, that if again elected, he might during the next four years plan same other or further raid on our County Treasury. He ha® not promised our voters that in case he should be reelectcvi he will stop leaving our county four clr five days each week to hold court in Chicago ar.d mix with Chicago politicians while drawing a salary from our taxpayers of $3,600 per year, supposedly for him to stay in this county and' daily attend to the business of our county court. Everyone knows that we do not need a County Court Probation Officer any more than a cat needs two tails. All the work ever done by a County Court Probation Officer could easily hvae been done by the Judge in less than four hours time a month. That salary and the one now being so wrongfully paid to his court reporter should have |>een stopped long ago to help lighten the heavy burden now resting on our taxpayers. -- Voters in Judge Allen's home town and in erery comer ef our county are asking thesef questions: 1. Why has Judge Allen refused to come out with a platform, and put himself openly and squarely on record before the voters on these very important issues? 2. How can he expect his present office holders and their friendb, wlthl the help of a f«w politicians, to renominate him for «iMW four year term, when he continues to so remain silent on such important matters? I submit that all of the above, should be cttrefolly considered before you cast your vote on Primaiy Pay. \ %«ry respectfully y«<i*|. CHARLES P. BARNES. of McHenry County My Platform If elected to the office of Treasurer of McHenry county I promise to give to this office the fcame efficient service did applicaton to the responsibilities of the office as I have demonstrated in the office of Sheriff. I will give the best service to the public in my power -- promptly, efficiently and courteously. Deposits in all of our McHenry county banks are now insured up to $2,500.00 under government control. Instead of having all or most of the county's money deposited in only one bank, if I am elected Treasurer it is my plan to keep the money distributed among the several banks in the county, thus taking advantage of this new insurance feature now provided by law* ~ The county's money is gathered from all parts of the county and I believe it is only right and fair that it should be distributed in the same manner. There are thirteen good banks in the county and each of these should have the benefit of a part of the Treasurer's deposit of county money, especially since these funds are now insured np to $2,500.00 in each bank. It will be my policy to distribute the tax money due the various taxing bodies in the county as rapidly as it is possible to do so, in order that they may have these funds for use without the necessity of borfimds to carry on their work. - GRADE yi Honor Roll: Anita Althoff, 92.9.
