Friend.
There are several things which W
want 10 sec the coming legislsture take
hold OF and remedy.
First OF all we want it TO pass an elecs
|tion law which win forever prevent the
sbominable practice Of vote-buying and
selling, and make Il impossible for
money to control our elections.
Next, we want II 10 pass 90 me meesure
TO brssk up the Octopus school book
monopoly.
Next. We want II TO make the ofice Of
|suprems court reporter . saIaried ONCE
and make the reports and copyrights the
|property OF the state. and make SONS
|provision by which unimportsnt cases
will be left out, 90 O. TO reduce the num-
ber Of reports.
Next, We want II to pass . gravel
road law, 80 that free gravel roads ocsu
lbe built on the assessment plan and allow
Iowners Of land to work out at least
three -fourths Of the assessment BY this
means many gravel roads could and
would be built, which can not be built
under the present law because the taS
must be paid in cash.
| Let every citizen agitate these thines
and impress them upon the minds Of
their representatives, and the needed re-
forms will be made.
