REPUBLICAN PARTY

EFObLlCAN FARI
The Republican party stands unequiv-
ocaly for efficiency and economy in the
public service, state and county. We en-
dorse the procedure recommended by |
Governor Oddie in mis- inaugural mes
sage. in 1911. namely:
That a joint committee of the two
houses be appointed to investigate the
ways and means of reducing state ex-
penditures and to report by bill all re-
ductions which can be affected with
out impairment of the public SER
vice"
We declare that two legislatures,
controlled by Democratic majorities,
made merely sham pretense at in
vestigaton and retrenchment while
continuing all employees of all Demo-
rat office, boards, and commissions
and enlarging rather than curtailing
the appropriations in support of the
same
We pledge our state and Legislative
nominees, If elected, to nominal nom
partisan, thorough and honest investi-
CATION of every department Of the state
government and upon the impartial
findings thereof to effect every saving
to the taxpayer that can be made
without impairment of the public SER
vice.
In this connection, we favor the
consolidation of the railroad and public
utilities commissions, the tax commits
lion and the commission on agriculture
and irrigation under their commission
ers; and also state supervision over the
affairs of the Industrial insurance com
mission
We also favor the elimination OF un-
necessary employees and the general
simplification Of the machinery of the
public bus ness of the state and coun-
ties
Inasmuch as majority of public ex-
penditures the past four years have
been controlled by Democratic Off
,ials, we invite the comparison of tho
actual services rendered and cost.
thereof of those controlled by Repub-
leans with those controlled by Demo
rats. supremely confident of the ver-
lict of the taxpayers and voters OF
such issue at the polls.
