To have to written into our na tional law the same provision of our state law, which reads as follows; "Creating no debt against the nation beyond the fiscal or calendar year: except in time of war and to repeal invasions." 2. Stop the issuance of tax-exempt government bonds. Stop the issuance of any federal bonds of any kind, un less adopted by the several states of this union and voted on by the peo ple. 3. Cut the federal annual budget to under one billion dollars per year for all proposed whatsoever. If this is done, you will not be troubled with so many foreigners x tramptag over Georgia pretending to work for the federal government. 4. Recognize the constitution of the United States and remember my oath of office to uphold the constitution of the United States ta every vote cast in the senate. 5. Remove every cabinet officer who endeavors to change our form of government. 6. Allow no taxes to be collected from the people by any ruling of any board or bureau at Washington. Keep to congress the sole power of levying all taxes and not delegating it to the president or anyone else. And, in levy, tag taxes, my course will be the same as it has been in Georgia—to reduce them at every opportunity. 7. Reduce postage stamps from three cents to two cents. 8. Take government out of competi tion with private industry, and let it act only as a referee and an umpire. 9. And here I want every candidate for governor of Georgia tn listen to this: “Regardless of who is elected gov ernor, Georgia is going to get her share of all federal money for road building purposes or any other pur poses—and this share is to be com puted by the constitution of the Unit ed States which pays the money must be distributed equally among the sev eral states of this union, according to the population.
