Any expenditure that will cut down doctor bills and funeral funer-al expenses and save human lives is well spent. 4. An efficient judiciary is essential in good government. 5. The benefits of the department of finance and purchase have not been commensurate with the expense to justify its retention. 6. The state should live within its means. The chief concern should not. hp tn seoV new sources of revenue, but to decrease de-crease expenditure. 7. The accomplishments accom-plishments of a legislative session are not to be measured by the number num-ber of new laws enacted. 8. The most pressing question in government today to-day is economy. 9. If the interior department's position in state lands is sustained it will leave title to all state lands in chaos. 10.
