| Il
Republican nominee for State Senator
1 want to say at the outset that il
elected / want to serve the people as
a non-political servant, as nearly as
possible, because the questions that
will arise in the State Senate are
non-political questions, and what
will be of interest to a Republican
will likewise be of interest to a
Democrat.
Second. United States SENATOR
'sThere has been growing demand
for the election of United States
Senators by direct vote of the pee
pie. This cannot be done until a
change is made in the constitution of
the United States, which provides
that Senators shall be elected by the
legislatures of the various states. In
Kansas, the primary law gives the
people the right to express their
choice at the election in November,
but there is nothing binding upon
the legislature to follow this express
sion of the people. l have signed
statement No. 1, which means that
am pledged to stand by the choice of
the people as expressed at the polls
in November, no matter whether he
be Republican or Democrat. There
fore, if elected, my vote will be con-
trolled by the popular vote of the
people of Kansas expressed at the
polls.
Third. = Deep Well Irrigation
For a long time we have been pay
ing more than our share of State
Taxes, and this money has been spent
in the eastern third of Kansas. OF
course the large state institutions
are there-the Capitol. Penitentiary,
two Insane Asylums, State Agricul-
tural College, State University, etc.
and / am not going to promise to
move them west. But l do believe
that if the proper effort is made, the
next legislature will make an ap-
preparation for deep well irrigation in
western Kansas. 1t will be my aim, if
elected, to work with other members
from the west to this end.
Fourth. - State Publication of
School Books:-No less man than
my friend. Tom McNeal, form er
d
Governor Stubbs, says that the total
cost of all school books in Kansas for
the year 1907-'O8 was SAT-, ,342.OO, and
he estimated that the same books
could be printed by the State for
s253, 1925, saving to the people in
two years of 1924, 1S9.6 .65, This may be
SOcialiStic doctrine, but anything
that will save the people that amount
in two years is worth trying
Fifth--County Courts:-'sI have
one hobby. and that is law making

the County Court with jurisdirion in

for County Court which would be
in session all of the time and where
litigants could have their cases heard |
before a competent Judge or Jury /
without delay. This law would proba-
bly, necessitate the consolidation of |
some of our District Courts
Sixth--Fees and SaIaries:-ssAlIl

reasonable salary and the fees earned |
in their respective offices should be-

BROWN ASKS
FOB SECOND
TERM

John T. Brown, who was elected
two years ago as the Republican
nominee to the office of county as
SCISSOR, has formally announced his
intention to seek a second term.
Mr.. Browns experience in the Of
flee of township assessor in Iowa pre-
vious to his removal to Grand Valley
have fitted him to ably fill the office
to which he aspires and his satisfac-
tory and efficient administration dur
ing the past two years is pointed TO
by his friends as ample reason for
his retention in the place.
Perhaps the most important move
made by Mr.. Brown since his incum-
bency in office was the introduction
of a new system of assessment rec
ords. This was a complete innova-
tion and the assessors of the state
who have examined the books declare
that 1t is the best method yet develop
ed to handle the various classifica-
tions of lands.
Mr.. Brown claims for his new sys-
TEN that it reduces the extra ex-
penses of the office by eliminating
the costly hand made plats and SIM
plities the bookkeeping. 1t adds CON
siderable to the information secur-
able from the books and makes each
individual assessment easily avai;-
able to an investigator
Mr.. Brown has served with success
on the board of the Orchard Mesa
ditch and on the school board of his
district. He is recognized as a man
of genuine public spirit, enterprising
and progressive.
Mr.. Brown is highly popular in his
own party and his election is freely
predicted by his party leaders.
