law takes from the people the
privilege of electing men as as
SCISSORS whom they know to be
competent and impartial, and
gives the power of appointment
to man who is appointed by a
governor. The system costs more
money than under the former sys-
TEN and tends to bossism by the
governor in taxation matters
which should be close to the peo-
pie. We rightfully elect our
United States senators, and we
should elect our assessors, too, for
we surely can know those who live
right among us.
The Highway Commission is
similar. Wood county has piked
nearly all her roads and should
pay its real and personal taxes,
and automobile licenses money
as well for the maintenance of
those roads instead of being COM
PEELED to send thousands of dol
lars down to Columbus to help pay
big salaries of state officials and
to help build the roads of other
counties which have not taxed
themselves for improved roads.
The school law is likewise top
heavy and expensive and needs
many changes to make it more
efficient in promoting education,
more economical in administration
and more elastic so as to meet the
needs of communities which
under the law are forced to do
things which ought not to be
done. | believe in progressiveness
in education, but there are some
things, among which is township
Capitalization of schools and
transfer of territory, which should
be left to the good judgment of
the people of each community and
handled slowly and carefully.
| believe in a taxation limit, not
merely in rate but in actual dol
lars and cents. Under present
conditions our taxes are higher
than ever before. Increased valu-
ations of property and high sal
aried officials and commissions
have resulted in raising not
lowering of the tax.
| believe in a government "by
the people and for the people"
in efficiency and economy in pub
lie service as in private. l stand
for moral uplift and good citizen
ship, and l ask your support.
