(c) He defended the Inheritance Tax law
against the attack of those seeking to have it
declared unconstitutional, from which there has
already been paid into the State Treasury prac
tically three millions of dollars, and which will
result, if properly administered, in the further
payment of at least a million of dollars annually.
(d) He wTon
for the state the Robinson
case, declaring the power of the state over the
unlawful sale of intoxicating liquors, and there
by gave life to the law compelling the closing of
saloons on Sunday and after eleven o'clock at
night.
(e) He Avon for the state the suit to enforce
an increase of Gross Earnings on railways and
thereby caused to be paid into the State Treas
ury, at one time, $750,000, and at least a million
a year more than the railways formerly paid,
and for all time.
10. Because of his great services to the state in
handling the complex railroad rate cases, involving
many millions of dollars of the people's money, and
the determination of the right and power of the
state to regulate its railroads and other public serv-
ice corporations. Whether the state wins or
loses the appeal now in the Supreme Court at
Washington, new and additional legislation will be
needed, and the state needs the services at the head
of the government of one who understands the
subject.
11. Because he is a progressive Republican,
and believes in government by the people, and is in
sympathy with the primary principles, initiative,
referendum, and all measures aimed at the elimina
tion of the professional corruptionists known as
political bosses.
12. Because he would bring to the office of
Governor the same ability, integrity, honesty and
respect for the office that he displayed as Attorney
General.
