L believe ~ Is due every candidate Tor
legislative nomination to state his po-
sition on public affairs and just where
he stands. The larger number of the
voters of Lake county are acquainted
with me. and my residence in the
county has been long enough to form
some conclusion rs to my abilities and
reputation. SO / shall not comment
along that line.
In the fist place, l am for state
financial retrenchment.
In the past ten years the population
of the state has increased about 81 per
cent. For the years 1903-1904 there
was appropriated for state government
purposes 81, 260, Ss7. For the years 1918
1914 the appropriations for the same
purpose were 90, 537, 74t.5 so, or nearly
3e0 per cent increase. Circulars are be-
ing distributed showing to state vot-
ers that the state taxes are not so great
MS those Of 1919. or that the difference
is so small that il is of little moment.
However, these circulars do not tell
you hat the levy made for state pur
poses for 1913 will not pay the indebt-
edness provided by the last appropria-
tion bills within about half a million
dollsrs. Had the levy for 1918 been
made to cover the payment of this half
million, which will have to come
sooner or later. aud which the farmer
and business man will some time be
Obliged to pay. with two years of &C
cumulated interest Mt 81 per cent,
these glowing statements of no increase
Ia taxes over 1912 for state purposes
would not be made. My position is
that the increase in population of the
state of lees than 30 per cent does not
warrants an increase in state expendi-
lures of 800 per cent in the past ten
years; aud that the taxes for 1919
were beyond the reasonable require.
ments of our state government. and
therefore NJ basis upon which to
make comparisons for 1913.
The greater pant of this vast Increase
in appropriations has not been for pub
lie improvements, safe and educa-
tional buildings. but for 9 lsries for
new appointive Offices and the crea-
tion of special funds for various
officers. in order that assistants. depu-
ties and partners might be appointed.
In the past seven years there have been
added 362 names to the state payroll,
and state expenditures increased over
SIS. 500 a day.
Ia our state better governed than it
was ten years ago7
Offices have been more than doub-
led, but population has only increased
one-ffth. / believe in the cutting out
of a large number of the appointive
offices and an. opposed to the creating
of special funds to be used as plums
to catch ~lisutenants and the building
up of a state machine. In other words,
let Us have government by merit In
place of g~cvernent by spoils.
In an examination into . local
needs and requirements. | do lot o u

More calls this week, and very pleasant
ones they proved to be; the first being
Mrs. A. S. Brooks, who with her son
son Lamont attended the graduation
exercises at South Paris last week. And
what made it of special interest to her
and others about here, was the fact that
her grandson, Winfield A. Brooks, was
one of those who graduated. Her descrip'
ton of the exercises, being all at first
hand. was highly interesting.
The next persons to make US q call, OF
short visit as they termed it, were j. w.
Cummings and his son Allen, Of Albany
whom we had not seen for nearly three
years. They report it very dry there,
causing a light hay crop as a result.
Mr.. Cummings has grown deaf, blind
and gray during those years. and also
lame from the effects of hard usage
while in the army.

montbs-old boy baby, and fine-lOokine
little kid he is of that age.

was highly appreciated, since it wet ny
the surface Of the ground again for the
crops, which was much needed.
Our climate seems as changeable as
ever. A few warm days have beer

way of variety, and only few days
since, Mount Washington was white
