IF elected, 1 shall strive to bring
about such legislation as will enable
the state and county governments to
cooperate in the building of permanent
highways.
Particularly should it be made pos
sible for counties to incur bonded in
debtedness for the purpose of construct
ing good roads.
"The money expended annually for
repairs to our highways in most cases
would be ample to pay the yearly inter-
est upon the bonds and provide the
necessary sinking fund.
Transportation Is too important to
be overlooked, as 1t Is always a deter
minating factor in the prosperity Of ev-
cry community. Therefore, our constant
aim should be More railroads, deeper
rivers and better highways
In providing for the fiscal needs OF
the state it should never be forgotten
that all taxes are burdens, and in ex-
acting these contributions from the peo-
pie so far as possible they should be In
proportion to the income of the citizen.
1T is apparent to all that certain
kinds of property escape the burden
they should bear, and our laws should
be so amended as to require all prop

character, which is now concealed from
the assessor and tax collector, to con-
tribute it's just share toward the main-
tenance of the government"
In conclusion the speaker said that
William f. Herrin, and he alone, was
responsible for the defeat of the propo-
sition to include the city and county
government of Los Angeles in the call
for the special session of the leglsla-
ture during the summer. He declared
that Herrin had gone from man to
man of the committee of forty, used
all his influence and finally succeeded
in having 1t left out of the call, all
because Mr.. Herrin did not want Los
Angeles to have control OF the San
Pedro harbor and prevent him and his
Southern Pacific from stealing more OF
the frontage.
He also declared that he was in favor
of greater water supply for Los Ange-
les and denounced the obstructionists
of the owens river enterprise as public
enemies, and declared they should be
kicked out of the community.
