Should the party decide that the

briefly touched upon together with
the necessity of a reorganization of
the present tax system Good roads

URGES CAREY LAND COMMISSION
81 once more urge as i'm my first
message to the legislature. the neet
of organizing a special non-partisar
commission for the control of al
Carey act lands. In safeguarding the
future Of this state, it is necessary
that a commission controlling canal,
to the value of S90,OOO.0O0 i'm
state where the entire assessed valu
alton is only S12O,00O,OOO. should b,
so organized that its administration
shall be efficient and disinterested
This commission should consist of
farmer or business man, a lawyer ane
an engineer, one from the minority
and two from the party in power Sc
as to insure party responsibility.
And furthermore. with out reflect

under established precedent have ac

ly protecting the rights and Interest,"
of settlers by passing an act that viii
make it unlawful for any member O
this Carey act lands commission o.
the land board to be interested, di
rectly or indirectly, in the Carey ac
lands.
I believe that the present tax sys

there can be a fairer equalization D
the tax burdens. During Decembe
of last year I called the county com
missiOners of the state together il
convention to discuss this importan
subject. At that time a committe
was appointed, composed of thre
members of the several boards. tn
state auditor, the attorney general an
myself to draft an entire revision o
the revenue and taxation laws of tn
state The report of this cOmmitte
will afford the bas of a recommends

legislature in order that existing con
