Republican Platform Highlights 1934 State Convention
The 1934 Republican platform outlines repeal of the gross income tax and the 15 cent property levy, plus reducing the state gasoline tax and auto licenses and abolishing the emergency clause in the $1.50 tax law. It calls for repeal of liquor control, a new regulatory measure, repeal of direct primary, and a fair sales tax as a stand in for the income tax pending constitutional amendments. It proposes a non partisan state police force, police radio net, and enhanced cooperation between local and state police. It also seeks redistribution of patronage from the Governor to constitutional offices, and emphasizes national issues, backing a gold standard and opposing government overreach. The platform criticizes the AAA and NRA, pledges farm price relief, and calls for budget balance by trimming emergency expenditures. It includes a 16 point legislative program and criticizes Governor McNutt, proposing probes of state penal institutions and repeal of the clemency act.
