Governor Brady's Statement.
II am a firm believer in the prinei-
pies and policies OF the Republican
party, and recognizing the inVlOiaDle
nature of party promises 10 the people
pledge myself to carry out the declara-
lions Of the party platform.
AZ believe in the party system OF gov
eminent, and hold that party Is re
sponsible for its administration or the
government, and that each member OF
the administration is responsible noL
only TO the people, but to the party. for
his acts, l therefore seek reelection
TO the office OF governor on the record
Of honesty and efficiency made oy me
in the present administration.
"I reaffirm my faith in the direct
primary law, and suggest that no
change in the law should be made
81 believe in the election OF United
States senator's by direct vote OF the
people, and, until the necessary amend
ments are made 10 the federal constitu-
ton. favor the nomination OF parry
candidates at the primary and the
pledging OF legislative candidates 70
carry out the party choice
Urges Carey Land Commission.
"I once more urge. as in my first
message TO the legislature, the need OF
organizing a special nOn-partisan com
mission for the control OF all carey acl
lands. In safeguarding the future OF
this state. IL Is necessary lAAdA a cum
mission controlling canals 10 the value
OF $50, 600 600, in a state where the en-
tire assessed valuation IS only SlzU,-
600 600, should be so organized that It's
administration shall be efficient and
disinterested. This commission should
consist of a farmer or business man, a
lawyer and an engineer one from the
minority party and two from the party
in power, so as TO insure party re6pon-
"And. Furthermore, without renecting
on previous members OF the land board,
either Democratic or Republican, who,
within their legal rights and under es-
tablished precedent, have acquired
lands under the Carey act system, 1
urge the necessity OF absolutely pro
tecting the rights and interests OF set
tiers by passing an act that viii make
it unlawful for any member or this
Carey act lands commission or the land
board to be interested, directly
or indirectly, in the Carey act
lands.
'T believe that the present tax sys-
tenn requires reorganization so that
there can be a faiTer equalization OF
the tax. burdens. During December
of last year I called the county com
missioners Of the state together in
convention to discuss this important
subject. At that time committee
was appointed composed Of three mem
bers Of the several boards the state
auditor, the attorney general and nv
self to draft an entire revision OF the
revenue and taxation laws Of the state.
The report of this committee viii af-
ford the basis Of a Recommendation
which I hope 10 make TO the next leg
islature in order that existing condt-
tions NAV be remedied. 7 favor an in
come tax and believe that the inheri-
lance tax should apply 70 all properties
within the state that change hands
through inheritance regardless of the
non-resideDce Of the persons involved.
Improved Roads Needed.
Il believe in the need or public
utilities commission 10 supervise and
control the public service corporations
Of the state.
Il believe that our system and meth
cd OF handling public roads Is in great
need of Improvement. Good roads are
essential TO the proper development OF
a country. They shorten the distance
to the markets and increase the value
of farm products and property. If
elected, shall recommend the passage
of legislation which Will enable the
construction or general system o.
good roads under a definite plan.
Il believe in the conservation Of our
natural resources, both by the federal
government and the state. and am
heartily in accord with the splendid
work that has been done along thesa
lines by our national administration,
both under eX-Presiceut Roosevelt and
President TAFT. But I believe that the
people of this state are entitled to she
profits from the leases OF lands, powers
and other natural resources. for the
benefit of their public schools and
roads. Furthermore, with confidence
in the judgment OF the peupie OF ldaao.
/ hold that they should have the right
TO regulate the charges for such land
and power in order that the people
may be protected against trusts and
monOpolies.
a majority of the state departments
are now not only on a paying basis.
but a source of large revenue to the
state. l believe that every one Of these
