A PRIMARY LAW.

The republican party stands for
progress. We. accordingly pledge
ourselves to the enactment of a pri-
mary election law for the nOnina-
ton of county and legislative candi-
dates and the selection of delegates
TO district and state conventions.
Such ballot shall be secret and
protected against fraud as is the
present Australian system of voting
at elections. Nominations shall be
by petition.
We are not unsympathetic with
the extension of such primary to
state and federal offices whenever
experience shows IL to be desirable.
A BUDGET SYSTEM.
We favor complete budget
system for the state that there may
be strict business administration of
the states affairs. We ask the
special revenue commission to sug-
gest to the people some kind of a
continuous budget board which
shall make written recommended
lions to the incoming governor,
who shall, In turn, transmit its re-
port to the legislature with. such
added recommendations as he may
desire. Without the aid OF such a
board a governor who has been in
office but few days is always I'M
prepared TO make intelligent re-
commentators.
JUST TAXATION.
We favor a system of taxation
which will permit our citizens to
be honest with the assessor with
out being penalized for their hon.
esty. We favor a uniform tax at
actual values upon every class of
property, real and personal. We
favor such alterations in the mode
Of assessing as the special revenue
commission may find necessary to
give intelligence and justice to tie
system. II an additional income
tax is necessary for the proper sup
port of the state, we favor such
tax. IL distributed i'm accordance
with the ability TO pay. Mine tax
alton having been the subject of
discussion, we specifically pledge
ourselves to see to II that mines
are Included to the full extent in.

After looping the loop" eighty
seven times above a Long Island
flying field and setting a new rec
ord for women pilots, Miss Laura
Bromwells first act after stepping
from her machine was to bring
out her powder puff and take the
shine off her nose. She said the
official figure was low, as she had
counted more than one hundred
loops herself, but accepted the
eighty-seven when informed she
had been hidden by clouds much
of the time and officials could
count only when he plane was Wis
ible. The best previous record for
women was twenty-five, made by
a French aviatrix. Miss Bromwell
received her pilots license only d
year ago.
