RESOLUTIONS
CONTINUED From Page One)

penses of State and County officers
are excessive and we favor Legisla-
ton to reduce such expenses to the
lowest possible minimum, and that
the salary of the Governor be re-
duced from 100000 to 100000 per an
mum the salary of Secretary of State
from 100000 to 100000; the salary
OF State Auditor from 100000 to
$250000; the salary of Attorney Cen
eral from 100000 to 100000; the sal
airy of each of the twelve District
Judges from 100000 to 100000 each,
and the salary of three Justices of
the Supreme Court from 100000 to
$4,000 each.
5. We favor the passage of law
providing for the appointment and
election of Commission to be COM
posed of the Secretary of State, the
State Auditor. and three tax paying
citizens of the State. whose duties
shall be to prepare budget of the
propose expenditures of the State,
and to present the same to the Legis-
lature with proper recommendation
1t shall be further duty Of the COM
mission to investigate all requisi-
tons, claims and requests for appro-
priations and to determine the nee
essity therefor, and to curtail and
limit the said acquisitions within the
least amounts possible, consistent
with efficient service and results.
6. 1t appears to the members of
the League that the present Fish
and Game law is extremely deficient,
and we therefore favor the abolish
ment of the Fish and Came Commits
sioner. together with all his deputies
and assistants. and recommend that
the work now done by the said Off
GERS be performed in the future by
the County Sheriff and the Constable
of the various Precincts.
2. We declare for the curtailment
OF expense in the matter of Our Pub
lie Schools and High Schools. We
are employing too many teachers and
spending an unreasonable amount of
our taxes for school purposes. We
believe that economy can be prac-
tised in this department without sac
rificing efficiency.
8. We favor retrenchment in the
expenditures and manipulation of
County affairs by the Board Of
County Commissioners of this Coun-
ty, and we hold that too many depu-
ties are employed in number of the
Offices in the County, thus leaving
the principles of the said office with
out work and free to vacate their
offices a large part of the time. We
disaprove of inequitable and in
efficient assessment of property in
this County, and declare for an CO.
uitablc adjustment of assessment and
taxation, especially looking to the
reduction of taxes on small homes
and small farms.
10. We hold that the Board OF
County Commissioner should exer-
else more careful and painstaking
supervision of the County offices
and officers under their jurisdiction,
with view of curtailing unnecessary
expenses, and procuring the most
efficient services possible for the
public
IL. We condemn the action of the
Board of County Commissioners in
increasing their own salaries and we
request them as a board to reduce
the salaries recently fixed by their
Board to $4,000 per annum for each
commissioner, and
that the County Commissioners live
within the law in the matter OF ex-
pcnscs.
Il. We request each and every can
didate running foi office in this
County. no matter what political
party he represents, to manifest his
approval of the aDovc Resolutions.
and to pledge his efforts il elected, TO
the carving out of the same.
