Repeal of the act creating a tax
for the State and county fairs. This
is a totally unwarranted burden upon
the tax payer.
Now, in addition to this platform,
State constitutional convention
should be held, embodying the fore
going principles. There should be
a clause in the constitution prohib-
iting forever a tax for State and
county fairs and a limit to appropri-
ations for any and all purposes. The
constitution should also be written to
widen the scope of self government to
every county, so that by a vote of the
citizens the question of self determi-
nation in all matters of issuing bonds
and legislation upon local affairs
could be thru the County Court. This
would reduce the mill of local bills
