Chief problems before the state are
Total of $133, 100000 is spent annual
ly in direct taxation locally and
state, $53,000,00O of which goes for
education. Because Minnesota prldes
itself on education for children, Mr..
Chase believes that the people as
whole would not desire to curtail this
system of development.
Communities Must Cut Taxes
Communities must cut taxes, and
Mr.. Chase advocated the policy adopt
ed by the state six years ago, the
y-as-you-go plan of expenditure.
$15,OOO,0OO is spent annually for in
terest on bonded debt. This would
be reduced if cities and municipalities
would adhere to the policy suggest
ed. He also favors continuation OF
the road building program from
farm to- market roads and further
commented on the efficiency OF
Charles Babcock, saying that
change of administration would not
follow through with the plans as
built by the Republican organization.

amendment of statutes requiring re-
medal attention, including the drain
age laws, and the Reorganization
Act

a building proram for detectives
