MolftM Tuesday, July 19, 1960 I i 1 A NOTHING NON-PARTISAN HERE District Judge'Joseph P. Hand of Emmetsburg, democrat appointed by Gov. Herschel Loveless to fill a- vacany, will have opposition on the election ballot in November for judge of the 14th judicial district. It is the result of a move on the part of some republican lawyers in the judicial district to overthrow a time-honored tradition among members of the bar. Election of district court judges in the past has usually come about without any particular party election fights or squabbles.

There has never been a democrat elected to the bench in the judicial district. This is because, first of all, the lawyers themselves have generally speaking abstained from presenting candidates on both tickets. With the lawyers of the district prepond- erately republican, the unwritten agreement in the past has been to rotate the three district Judge positions as vacancies occur among the eight counties in the district Buena Vista, Clay, Dickinson, Emmet, Humboldt, Kossuth, Pocahontas and Palo Alto. After the resignation of Judge Harry Narey, Mr Hand was appointed to fill the unexpired term. He is a'democrat, the first one to serve on the bench in the 14th judicial district.

His own county, Palo Alto and also the Bar Ass'n of Kossuth County, went on record as endorsing the candidacy of Judge Hand for reelection. Both of the other judges, G. W. Stillman of Algona and Fred M. Hudson of Pocahontas are republicans.

In bygone years, no democratic nominees have been presented, not because there were no potential candidates, but because it was felt that for the best interests of the district courts an election battle should be avoided. But all that is now in the past. The district judgeships of the past have been kept above partisan politics. Democrats have agreed with that principle by making no nominations. But, when circumstances are altered and.

a democrat is already sitting on the bench for a short term and is the logical choice to succeed himself, the complexion changes. Non-partisanship goes out the window. Upper I)cs E.

WHERE TAXES OWOINATI From now until the end of August, Iowa's cities, towns, counties and school districts will be holding their annual public budget hearings and from these hearings will be determined the property tax levies that will be made for next year.

We have heard a lot in the past year with regard to property taxes and much about plans that would find some method of shifting taxes from property onto something else. Nobody seems quite clear just what else it would be shifted to. Yet, one of the most simple methods of controlling or reducing the property, tax would simply be to attend the budget hearings with enough of your neighbors to dent badly the always-present effort to raise budgets year by year. Before any budget is adopted, there must be a public hearing. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS THE TIME THAT EACH CITIZEN HAS A CHANCE TO CONTROL THE REAL ESTATE TAXES HE PAYS.

It is about the only time, too. So, if you are really interested in your taxes, check the list of major hearings on budgets and find out what's going on, and why you are asked to pay more each year in taxes. ASK TO HAVE BENSON FIRED Eagle Grove Eagle We were pleased with one of the resolutions adopted by the Wright county Republicans at their convention Friday. They asked for the immediate dismissal of Ezra Toft Benson. That is one thing that the party better take care of before the general election in the fall if they want to have any chance in the middle west.

We understand that Vice President Nixon has promised that there will be no Benson in cabinet if he is elected but he needs to make that plain before the campaign starts. He could also do himself good nation wide if he would make the same announcement about Post Master General Summerfield. He is another thorn in the side of everyone who has to do with the postal service. We call your attention to a feature article in this Eagle signed by The Business Mail Faurw. dation.

It outlines the public conception of our mail service. Summerfield, either has, not read, it or else does not believe in it. LEMONADE FROM THIS LEMON?

The thinking on Capital Hill was most succinctly expressed, perhaps by, Congressman Wint Smith of Mankato, and reported by Human Events: "Fire Allen Dulles and replace him with the ablest man we have for that intelligence pob.

He shooed them off, okay, but then had difficult time outrunning bee friends of the hitchhikers who had been summoned for support from the bakery roof. Funeral services for J. F.
