said II am not in favor of a state
highway system at all. | believe each

eide for itself what kinds of roads 1t
wants to build. L think our present
system of building and maintaining
county roads is wrong, as 1 do not be-

favor of eliminating the general
property tax on automobiles and tax

that the fees raised in this manner
should be returned to the county
where the automobile owner resides.

industrial court .'is right in principle
and should not be repealed" Some
amendments to make the law stronger

II have always felt that the Industrial

The most feasible plan for a reduc-

property which now escapes taxation,
in the assessors books, Senator Van
de Mark declared. "I believe that the
state constitution should be amended
to permit of different classification of
property for taxation and to impose
a tax on industries which now pay

favor of a production tax on oils, gas
and minerals"

most powerful on the roster.
