Kossuth County Advance from Algona, Iowa • Page 14

Area Leaders And Candidate Franzenburg Speak Their Minds In Session tired. Savage conducted the business meeting due to the absence of Commander Leonard Kiley. Finance officer Lewis Block gave the financial report and Adjutant Burt DeNio read the minutes of the last meeting, followed by a short business meeting. Fifteen members were in attendance. Mrs.

Robert Hardcopf is a patient in the Humboldt County Memorial Hospital in Humboldt. She was admitted Monday. CALL IN YOUR WANT ADS AT 295-3535 FOR EXTRA Paul Franzenburg looked tired, like most politicians on the campaign trail. But he sounded more like a voter than a man trying to become governor of Iowa. Speaking to specially-invited community leaders at a public meeting in the courthouse last Monday, Franzenburg said: "I've always felt government works better the closer it is to the people." That explains in part why he's touring the state holding "grass-roots" meetings.

Algona was the 10th stop on the 15- stop tour. He also sounded like a voter when he said: "I'm getting tired of politicians who don't listen or answer questions." That explains why he spent part of the time doing just that. He listened to prepared remarks from four men: Algona Mayor Bill Finn, County Supervisor Newbrough, Algona Community School Superintendent Dale Grabinski and Bud Anderson, representing the Algona Chamber of Commerce. The men talked about problems confronting the people they represent during the course of their employment-as did others in attendance, like County Attorney Joe Straub, LuVcrne horse- racer John Schnakenberg, Hon Gerber of the County Beef Producers, and Paul Bernhard of the County Pork Producers. -Where He Stands- After 2 of exchange, it was clear where the Democratic candidate stands on several issues, even though he said at the outset that the meeting was to be fact-finding rather than political The legal drinking age? Recalling the days of "near-beer" when he was 16, Franzenburg joked: "Nobody here did except me.

Only there was more then than now because it was illegal." Noting that Iowa was the 10th state to ratify voting rights at 18, he said he believes In "consistency in full rights," and therefore thinks the right to drink should accompany the responsibilities associated with entering into contracts, marriage and being involved in legal suits. "I'm not a tea-totaler," he continued, adding that he'd like to see the price of liquor increased so that de-toxification centers can be established around the state and so that the funds can support programs in the schools that would educate students to the dangers of legal drugs such as alcohol and of course the illegal drugs. Should Iowa legalize bingo and parimuluel betting? Yes on both. (Parimutuel betting on horses means those who bet on the winning horse share the total stakes, less a small percent to the management. It would also mean income for the licensing state.) "I think we'll see it come," Franzenburg said.

He said he favors it on a "strictly-controlled basis, like in Nebraska. He joked about lowans being moral on some days but not on the days of the week when the horses are running in Omaha, or the dogs at Sioux City. "People seem to enjoy paying for it. Let them." Should towns and cities have home rule? As Franzenburg sees it, the same responsibilities should be passed back to local government because in his opinion they shouldn't have been the responsibility of the state or federal government in the first place. "I think we're all in (financial) trouble," he said.

"We should get over the idea of turning to the federal How can towns and cities make the most of their investment money? Franzenburg thinks the state should offer a pension fund pool for cities and towns, so that a better investment return can be earned by each town or city. He also said state-employed actuaries have been too conservative working with the Iowa Employees' Retirement Fund-that they could have earned more through investments without endangering the security of the fund. What can be done about financing education? Franzenburg said it is time to look at the state's school budgeting law anew. "We need a complete restructuring of the tax base, not just a shifting," he said. He described President Nixon's value-added tax proposal as a form of national sales tax.

After listening to Dr. Grabinski's view of Iowa's school finance problem, Franzenburg said he would like to meet again with Supt. Grabinski and discuss the school situation. "This has been the most complete appraisal we've had in 10 meetings," he said. Franzenburg is one of three announced candidates for the Democratic nomination.
