Platform adopted by the republican
county central committee and nominees
in convention assembled, Sept. l3, 1912.
in conformity with the primary cleo
tion law of the State of Colorado, we,
the county central committee and coun-
ty nominees of the republican party, a.
dopt the following declaration Of prin-
cipals for said party in this county which
we pledge our nominees to carry out, if
elected.
1.-The business affairs of Phillips
county should, and under republican ad
ministration, will be conducted with the
same fidelity to recognized business
methods as careful and good business
men are accustomed to follow in the
management of their personal affairs,
keeping the expense of county admin
istra tion at the lowest figure Consistent
with proper efficiency in the several de-
partments of county affairs,
2-We commend the present republic
can county administration in the care
ful conduct ct county affairs whereby,
although burdened with the expenses Il
an inefficient democratic primary cleo
ton law, the floating debt of the coun-
ty amounting to approximately $1,000. 90
drawing six per cent interest. has been
fully paid and safe cash balance re-
tanned tno county warrants registered)
ssiiicient to meet all county expenses
| for the current year, including approx
imately, s200o.0 90 for said primary elec.
ton; and for the year 1918 we pledge a
reduction in taxation of approximately
10 per cent
3-We insist upon both county and
district aflicers making thorough in
yestigatisn of criminal complaints
brought to their notice before issuing
warrants upon same, and when there is
lack of merit or evidence, cases should
not be started in the courts, as IL caus-
es the taxpayers much unnecessary eX
pense and also causes defendants a
great deal OF expense to grntify some
enemy spleen. but we believe that the
laws should be enforced and crime pun
shed when IL actually exists and there
is evidence Of same. and we insist that
when crime is committed and bonds are
required for the appearance Of the
criminal, the bond should be in conform
ity to the crime committed.
1--WE condemn the unnecessary cali
ing OF juries to try trivinl cases when
same could be disposed of before the
Judge with greater dispatch and aceor-
ding TO law and save the Taxpayers
much money in the way OF taxes and
the unnecessary consuming Of their
time.
5-We pledge our nominee for county
assessor TO make careful and COM
plete assessment so that every person
will pay on a proportionato basis Of val
uation and that all lands, so far as pos
siblc, will be assessed direct TO the own
er.
Eve commend the present county
treasurer for the manner In which he
handled the county moneys during the
past two years, depoSiting the same
with the banks OF the county. and col.
Letting interest on the daily deposits,
the interest amounting 10 approximate.
