] would enlarge the power OF the
Attorney General. Encourage labor
and legitimate capital, and protect
them. Both are needed to develop our
matchless resources. By non-taxation
for 5 years great impetus would be
given manufacturing industries, and
the states population and wealth
would soon be doubled; farm land
would bring garden prices. i favor
the building of Macadam roads and
good bridges in every township, that
farm lands may enhance in value, and
town and country people be brought
closer together. The criminals OF this
state cost the taxpayers approximate
ly $2,000,000.00 annually. This will
pay for all the roads and bridges and
give teachers an increase OF rs per

Mr.. Murray's friends claim he is a
farmer. will wager that | can grind
all the corn, cane and alfalfa (no,
