As to
comments ref: the paper affiliated with the Property Rights Group that is being
superceeded by the 'Watchdog', the paper was of course called 'The Property
Owner', it was put out, edited and published by me, It ran
for three years, it quit early this year for reason that though it had
good readership, --was even subscribed to by the historical societies
of Minnesota and Wisconson-- the editor and publisher,
-myself- was also, of necessity, the funder of about half the costs of the
paper.
The Property
Owner could easily have paid for itself in ad revenue, and continued
functioning but there was a lot of politics as people in or out of the
group whose ox wasn't kissed up to adequately would complain to
advertisers and potential advertisers, attempting to kill the 'Property
Owner'.
In that
context, I felt that, even though the paper should run continuous, three
years was a long enough run to get that discussion
started. Unbeknownst to me in coming up with the "Property Owner"
concept, there was a previous paper called the "Property Owner", put out in the
1940s and 50s. I had the honor of meeting the person, in his late
90s, who did that paper, Ed
Settevig.
I know Ray
Whebbe from long back and I know for sure that he will be getting paid
for whatever his work is and will not be shelling out for printing and
distributing.
I was
told they were going to use 'personal adds', and etc., to fund
the Watchdog. I am not sure what all that dog is going to watch and
what will get by it with no bark at all. It should be known though
that I and the "Property Owner" have nothing to do edit and management
wise, with the new paper, the
"Watchdog".
