GOV. BRADY ISSUES SIAT66T
Chief Executive Stands UPen Record
and Says Pledges Must BE Kept.

Favoring local option and the pres
emit local option laws and promising
to use his influence to support prOhi-
bitAon wherever such IL the will Of
the people" Governor Brady, In 9
ntatenBout made to The Nt1toaUnnms yo1r
| terdAyy outlines hts Views a. to the
legislative needs OF the state at the
hands Of the Republican party.
Should the party decide that the II
quOr traffic can not be adequately con-
trOlled through local option, Governor
Brady states that he will execute the
will OF the people In the Arm belief that
statewide prohibition, backed by the
party platform and the votes Of the
people can be successfully enforced.
The need OF the organization Of a
special non-partisan Carey act land
commission is also dwelt on together
with the necessity Of the passage Of q
law to prevent the members of such a
commission becoming In any manner
Interested in Carey act lands.
The income and inheritance tax are
briefly touched upon together with the
necessity Of reorganization Of the
the conservation Of the natural re-
whole and the grain commission law
as passed by the last legislature comes
In for praise.
The statement in full follows:
II am firm believer in the pr!nci-
pies and policies OF the Republican
party. and, recognizing the inviolable
nature OF party promises to the people,
pledge myself to carry out the declar-
.ations Of the party platform.
Il believe in the party system of
government, and hold that q party Is
responsible for its administration Of
the government, and that each member
OF the administration is responsible,
not only to the people, but to the party
for his acts. | therefore seek re-elec-
ton to the office Of governor aon the
record of honesty and efficiency made
by me In the present administrator.
II reaffirm my faith In the direct
primary law, and suggest that no
change In the law should be made
II believe in the election of United
| States senators by direct vote of the
people, and, until the necessary
| amendments are made to the federal
constitution, favor the nomination of
party candidates at the primary and
the pledging Of legislative candidates
to carry out. the party choice.
II believe in the control OF the IL
quor traffic by every legal means re-
qulred to suppress its evils. The state
has made distinct advance in its en-
acthneit OF county local option law,
| and | promise to use my influence in
the enforcement of prohibition where
ever such is the will Of the people.
Should the Republican party, through
its platform, and the people, through
approval OF such a platform, decide
that the liquor traffic can not be ade-
quately controlled through the method
of local option, promise faithfully to
execute their will, in the firm belief
that statewide prohibition. supported
by party platform and the votes OF
the people, can be successfully en-
forced
Il once more urge, as in my first
message to the legislature, the need of
organizing special non-partisan COM
mission for the control of all Carey
act lands. In safeguarding the future
of this state, it is necessary that a
commission controlling canals to the
value of $90,000,0O0, in state where
the entire assessed valuation is only
$12O,000,O00, should be so organized
| that it's administration shall be effici-
ent and disinterested. This commits
sion should consist of farmer or BUS
mess man, a lawyer, and an engineer
one from the minority party and two
from the party in power SO as to in
sure party responsibility.
| And further, without reflecting 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, ]
urge the necessity of absolutely pro-
tecting the rights and interests of set
| tiers by passing an act that will make
| it unlawful for any member of this
| Carey act lands commission or the
| land board to be interested directly
| or indirectly, in the Carey act lands.
| 81 believe that the present tax sys-
| TEN requires reorganization so that
there can be fairer equalization of
| the tax burdens. During December of
last year | called the county commits
! sioners of the state together in con-
vention to discuss this important sub
| ject, At that time a committee was
appointed, composed of three members
of the several boards, the state audi
| tor, the attorney general and myself to
draft an entire revision of the revenue
and taxation laws of the state. The re-
