THE OUTSTANDING ISSUES OF THIS CAMPAIGN ARE
~ The Public Service Corporation monopoly of trolley trans
portation, electric light and power and gas and the removal of the
Political Utility Commission that has been the willing and humble
servant of the Public Service monopoly.
() The defeat of James K. Shields Antisaloon League pro-
posal to nullify the Eighteenth Amendment by compelling the next
Governor and Legislature to pass an enforcement act written by the
AntiSaloon League that will make the sale of any beverage con-
tanning one-haf of one per cent. of alcohol a violation of the STATE
law, a trial by jury for which violation is denied by the Anti
Saloon League, even though such beverage is not intoxi-
eating.
() The $4,000, 100000 annual increase in state expenses is a
serious problem for the next Governor and Legislature.
az The removal of our state highways and onehalf of one
per cent. Edge road tax from Edges Political Highway Commits
sion.
() I promise to drive the Anti Saloon League and the Public
Service lobbyists out of the State House.

BIC BOND ISSUE
PLANNED FOR ROAD
War Finance Board Considers
Huge Amount to Secure
Funds Needed.

WASHINGTON, March 2o.--The war
finance corporation Is considering float
ing large bond issue, probably of
5000, 900, O00 within few weeks, to pro-
vide funds for railroads and to meet
any other demands on the corporation.
The interest rate contemplated is 4&
per cent.
The bonds would ru:i FOR a year or
possibly a year and a half, according
to tentative plans. They would be sold
privately to banks and big business in
terests Tf' order to minimize interfer-
ence with the popular Victory Liberty
loan campaign
The bonds would be exempt from all
taxes except estate, Inheritance, excess
profits. war profits and surtaXes, and
interest on $4,000 owned by any single
interest would be entirely tax exempt.
The corporation has authority to sell
its bonds below par.
BY law the war finance corporation
may issue up to SO, OO0, 100000 of bonds,
secured by collateral taken in connec-
tion with advances already made by
the corporation No bonds have been
issued heretofore, but prospective large
advances to railroads brings the cor
poration within sight Of possible ex-
haustion of the half billion dollars au-
thorized as original capital
