Makes a Plain and Concise Statement
as to the Issues Of the
State Campaign
PRESENT POLICY

If renominated by the Republican
party and reelected to the Office Of
governor my official endeavor and that
of my administrative appointees will
be directed chiefly along the following
lines:
To endeavor by strict impartiality,
by prompt and diligent effort, by Wig
orous application of the principle Of
exact justice to save employer, worker,
and all our people the waste, hardship
and suffering incident to future lock-
outs and strikes.
To sustain the dry lawn my opin-
ion the greatest social, economic and
moral step forward that Colorado has
ever undertaken; and to oppose the
passage of the beer amendment or any
other unfriendly or reactionary legisla-
tion; to seek after this year of testing
the dry law to make it even more ef-
fective against the bootlegger by such
amendment as the true interests of the
prohibitory cause and experience rdic-
tate. ~.
To maintain the Colorado utilities
commission so free from all outside
control that it may continue as an in
dependent and efficient agency to meet
promptly, wisely and justly the in
Vulnerable disputes and differences be-
tween the utility corporations and the
several municipalities of the state, and
thereby insure fair return and stability
of property value to the utility in

lie.
To adjust and limit the total of state
expenditure to the minimum of state
income, making it certain to pay one
hundred cents of every dollar appro-
priated, and instead of swallowing up
extraordinary income by useless and
wasteful overappropriation, to conserve
such surplus for use by the succeeding
administration for building construc-
tion or other permanent purpose.
To maintain all state institutions
upon a sound financial basis; to estah-
lish the budget system; to procure such
close union and cooperation between
educational heads that overlapping may
be prevented, that the educational
problems Of the state be met as a unit,
and that maximum efficiency be OBJ
tanned without friction and at mini.

To so guard the 100000 acres OF
school land in the state and the half

by a scheming official, however well

To continue the policy begun in tho
present administration whereby the
state assumes the whole burden of the
care Of the insane SO that not q single
insane person shall be left q charge
upon any county in Colorado. .a
To seek. to decrease the burden Of
administrative expense upon the tax
lpayer-this must not be done at AZ
