people 1 represented. Your vis-
its. calls and letters guided me
in many crucial decisions. I sin-
cerely tried to carry out your
desires and wishes w hich was my
original promise to you.
I supported legislation to clean
up the insurance and veteran's
land scandals. I have sponsored
and supported laws for suffer
penalties for drunks and narco-
tic violators. I have supported
the farmers 109 percent in their
requests through the Farm Bur-
eau 1 have voted against 3 ma-
jor tax bills last session because
they were not in accord with our
Constitution which says taxes
shall be equal and uniform and
that there shall be no taxation
without representation.
As Chairman of the State Hos-
pital Committee. 1 have visited
and inspected each and all of
our eleemosynary institutions
and have made recommendations
and sponsored legislation which
