We deplore the political trickery of the hist legislature in passing a bill which provided that no candidate candi-date for tiff ice whether a school superintendent, a judicial officer, Tiiiled States .Senator or other candidate can-didate could be placed upon more than one ticket. This bill was avowedly passed to restrict and obstruct ob-struct the freedom of the luillot in the interest of the senior senator. As free men favoring the utmost freedom of action by the people in caslinir their ballots, we condemn this or any effort to disfranchise tin jinv decree the voters of this state. We believe that legislators should be interested in righting wrongs and preventing oppression of the people, and not in creating such; that legislators should legislate in the interest of all the people and not use their position to seek to promote pro-mote the interests of any political candidate. We fa vor an amendment to the laws governing building and loan societies to insure the protection of the savings and investments of the small wage earner and depositor. We favor the enactment of a law establishing a headless ballot ; or complete Australian ballot for local officers, and pledge our candidates to the legislature to work for its enactment. We condemn ihe political trickery and chicanery which leads the Republican Re-publican party to play peanut politics poli-tics with tax levies, making low-levies low-levies in election years and then an unreasonably high rate in the years when there is no election, to deceive the voters and betray them with a kiss. ' Wo deplore the action of the County officers in taking expensive trips easi and west at public expense ex-pense when not on official business, ::nd comb tun the action of the Republican Re-publican Board of County Commis-. Commis-. doners and the County Auditor in contTiieilug such bills without first presenting the matter regularly before be-fore tiie Board of County Commissioners Commis-sioners for approval. |
