CABS ABE COSTLT "I am -told by experts that automo biles' and trucks in public use by per sons who have no personal Interest, in them are very costly to maintain. I have estimates that there is a waste of public money In the operation ef these 415 state-owned cars of not less than $300,000 or $400,000 a year. I am, however, more conservative; and I- will put tha total expense of the 'touring cars arid trucks to the state, at any where, from $150,000 to $250,000 a. year. When governor, I wilt cut this ex pense to the bone ; and I submit to my opponents that there is a very definite idem ia "Which 1 can save public rrioney.

By the standard of efficiency alone-1 wHi be guided in making all state . appoint ments. ' Unquestionably there will be many new faces in official positions. These new officials must measure up to the highest standard pf American citizenship, and they must work "for and- earn the salaries they are paid. "Being a farmer" and cattleman and' knowing the serious financial condition of these great industries, I have formed the opinion that the main issue in this campaign is the "reduction of the tax .burden and-its redistribution so that it will not all fall, as It is falling 'In large part j today, upon the agricul tural, home-owning and realty, inter ests. If accurate figures could be ob tained, I believe it would be found that from 25 ;per cent to 6tr per cent or5 the gross incomes of agriculture is taken In the form of taxation, either directly or indirectly'.- ' , ..'-; .
