POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
STATEMENT TO THE PEOPLE
OF CASSIA COUNTY
Having Been Asked To Make A
Statement OF What 1 Stand For
At This Time, As Candidate For
State Senator, 1 Submit The Fol-
lowing Ideas:
AMERICANISM
First, and above all, l stand for
America, it's Constitution, Laws and
ernment economically administered
freedom from the autocratic rule of
selfish political bossism, so fruitful
of despotic assumption of power,
and destructive of the liberties
guaranteed to every law-abiding cit
izen, under our republican form OF
government.
LAW AND ORDER
l stand for the enforcement of
Just and benficial laws, and the Sc
lection of men with character and
courage to enforce our statutes;
"men whom the love of Office does
not kill, men whom the spoils of Of
flee cannot buy" who honor the
mandates of the law more than they
do the emoluments and the spoils
of office.
FEWER LAWS
l stand for the enactment of few
er bills into law, than during past
sessions of the legislature, and for
the repeal of vicious and obsolete
statutes, including all measures
which cannot be enforced, so that
in contempt for law and in disobe-

THE TAX MENACE
| stand for a perceptible reduc-
tion from the present exorbitant
and unbearable standards of taxa
ton, under which most of the peo-
pie of the state are being held in a
life and death struggle, with no
prospect of escape, while the angry
wolf of discouragement is forcing
untold hundreds of them into the
alluring ranks of socialistic organi-
cations.
A PARTIAL REMEDY
AS a short step in. the reduction
of the burdens of the taxpayers, l
stand for greater care in the expen-
diture of public funds,-not to les
sen efficiency, but to lessen the
number of those feeding at the
public crib," less executive gentle7T
men at the head of departments; aIts
honest days work for each day'al
pay is what the taxpayer is looking
for in our public Offices, with the
adoption and application of such
rules as produce maximum e6l-
cheney at a minimum cost, like any
other business institution.
STATE INSTITUTIONS
Furthermore, / stand for indis- !
criminate fairness in appropriations
made from public funds for state in
stitutions; basing allowances to
our educational institutions on the |
actual enrolment during the pre-
vious two years, on liberal per (
capita plan, to the adoption of
which no person may justly Oh
ject, thereby relegating { o the |
shades of antiquity the procedure
of previous years, when, as tradi- I
tion has informed us, excessive ap-
preparations to our state institu-
tions were made under the domi- !
nance of the most powerful political
combine that the state has ever
known, so that in some instances
at least, after liberal disburse-
ment of these funds, during the BIZ
ennium, there were thousands OF
dollars leftover, which could lind
no possible avenue of expenditure.
while the poor taxpayers were
without the necessities
of life.
EQUAL RIGHTS TO ALL MEN
/ hold that when men become too
cheap, greedy and sordid to carry
on the commerce and the prcduc-
tion of our country, going out OH
strike; refusing to work, they have
