rate in Illinois 33 per cent in two
years. His friends are certain that he
can do for the nation what he has
done for Illinois in the matter of good
government and lower taxes il he II
given the opportunity.
When Governor LOwden assumed Of
fice as executive of Illinois in Janu-
ary, 1917, the state treasury was prac-
tically bankrupt There was only $3.50
to the credit of the general fund.
when outstanding bills had been paid.
One of his first official acts WAS to
abolish many political jobs by COM
bining the work of lbs different de-
partments and bureaus into nine com
pact central departments. Gov. Low
den also had the state adopt budget
system which he thought would be
model for other commonwealths. He
placed business men and trained ex-
perts in charge of each of these de-
partments with gratifying results to
the taxpayers.
The cost Of conducting the state
government was reduced hundreds OF
Thousands Of dollars . year while the
quality Of service to the public showed
Q marked improvement. The effects
Of . business administration In the
state were manifest in short time
The state gradually built up q cash

In addition to these things Gov
Lowden succeeded in accomplishing
these concrete results:
Began work on the state's 100000
600 good roads system Two hundred
miles Of good road were built last year.
One thousand miles will be completed
in 1920.
Authorized the beginning ef work %
