Taxation.

Next TO the winning OF the war. the
question of taxation is the most i'm
portant to our people. The great and
increasing burden placed upon the peo-
Pile By the financial needs Of the federal
government makes it increasingly nee
essary that taxation for other purposes
be kept as low as is possible and equal
ly distributed upon all classes Of prop
erty. Officials who have the power Of
making assessments really need more
avenues of acquiring Information than
the law now affords TO insure just tax
alton. When this war is won readJust-
ment OF business will cause a great
many changes in the valuation Of the
various properties. Care should be
taken to maintain an equality OF taxa
ton upon all classes Of property.

ton tax OH oil Is one Of the essen
iial sources Of revenue. ] believe

The Platform
To the Democratic Voters and Al
Other Good Citizens Of Oklahoma


Other Good Citizens Of Oklahoma
The fourth primary election for NOM
ination by the respective parties OF their
candidates for governor and other state
officers is approaching. In view OF the
fact that beyond question the nominees
of the democratic party will be elected
at the general election. 1t Is Of the ut
most importance to the people OF the
state that no mistake be made In our
party nominations.
As a candidate for the office Of gov
ernor Of Oklahoma, subject to the Will
Of the democratic voters as expressed
in the primary election, l deem 1t nee
essary and proper at this time to briefly
define my position and state my views
on problems and public questions now
pending. or that may arise. This state
nent. however. Is made with two reser
vations. The office Of governor Is prt

Is well governed when the executive,
legislative and judiciol branches. while
working in unison. each recognizes the
constitutional limitations by which it Is
bounded. and does not attempt to usurp
the prerogative OF the other. Making
laws is primarily the function of the
legislature. and l wish It to be under
stood that II am elected governor ]
shall not attempt to encroach upon
that function. The ideas l am stating
relative to legislative policies are the
ideas with which / shall approach these
problems when they may come before

The second reservation Is that the
governmental development has among
democrats always been recognized rs
a function Of the party as a whole. The
democratic party believes in the rule
Of the majority. 1t is our custom to
hold q democratic convention after the
primary selection Of candidates. and
that convention should have the right
to declare the party policy. Party
policies can only represent the rank
and file when they are enumerated by
the elected representatives Of that rank
and file. IL l am nominated for gov
ernor i shall expect the elected repre-
sentatiyes Of the democratic party TO
enunciate the party policies. and. II
elected. / shall do my best to see that
the policies thus announced are carried
into effect. There are many subjects
omitted which are left to the conven-
ton: however. there are some matters
which / deem to be OF vital interest at
this time. They are Of sufficient impor-
tance that ! believe IL proper to set
them forth. that the democratic voters
Of Oklahoma may know my views and
what to expect Of the chief executive
in the event Of my nomination and

Oppression and tyranny begin when

lation or otherwise TO limit this right,
no matter fr what purpose. No local
or temporary problem is sufficient to
justify tampering with the very cor
ner stone Of our liberties.
