Legislature. ! must say that can
think of nothing OF more interest
than the development Of our state
and to my mind nothing can tend
more in that direction than better
highways ! do not have tC offer any
better proof Of this than those couu-
ties which have built most and best
roads. and also advertised their cOun-
ty. Therefore, ! favor abolishing the
convict lease system and working the
convicts on state highways. and N
connection with this, believe VIC
need state bureau Of immigration.
More advertising, more publicity,
should be our slogan
My long service as a county com
missioner has convinced me that
some OF cur revenue laws could be
greatly improved especially those
governing tax values. etc Taxes are
burdens which must be borne by The
people. hence we should have laws
which would standardize and equal
lze values. that the burden might be
equal upon all

BETTER SIRES BETTER STOCK.

This is the slogan of a national better
live stock crusade to be put in motion
| October list. The plan is to hasten the
replacement of the multitude of scrub
domestic animals in the United States
with pure bred or high grade stock and
also to improve the quality of pure breds
themselves. The goal in view is greater
efficiency in production.
The campaign will be the first organiz-
ed crusade in large country to improve
all live stock simultaneously. 1t will in
terfere in no way with any work in live
stock improvement now being conducted,
but makes all the work more definite and
effective by providing official recognition
for progressive breeders.
The campaign will be supervised from
the Department of Agriculture in Wash
ington and in each State by the State
agricultural college. County agents and
other field workers of the Department of
Agriculture and of the State colleges will
handle the campaign locally. Every live
stock owner actively cooperating and
keeping and using none but pure bred sires
of good quality will be given an emblem
as an official recognition of meritorious
effort.
