The following resolutions were adj
opted:
Whereas, The farming and laborins
classes of the state are justly COM
planning of the apparently unfair and
unequal legislation of this state; and
whereas, legislation upon the subject
ofitaxation has recently been enacted,
the purpose of which is to permit
tax-title shark to steal farm for one
dollar or even less; and whereas at
the present time the farmers and pro-
ducers are paying freight tariffs on
grain and produce at least four times
in excess of reasonable tariff thereby
paying dividends on stock that has
been watered until not over 25 per
cent thereof is actual capital; and
whereas. the railroads in Stevens
county are actually mulcting the pro-
ducing classes TO the amount Of nearly
one million dollars annually, when
the actual sum earned is but little
over one-fourth of that amount; and
whereas, the farmers alliances of
this county and legislative district
are acting in concert for the purpose
of curing the crying evils brought on
by such abuses; therefore, be it
Resolved, BY the Republicans of
Stevens county i'll convention as
sembled that we recognize in the
farmer the basis of all wealth and
the prime source of all capital and
that as such he is Untitled to full
recognition and consideration, and
be it further
Resolved, That the Republicans of
Stevens county hereby extend their
sympathy and guarantee their hearty
cooperation with the farmers al
liances in their work of restoring to
the people Of this state an equality of
benefits as between capital and labor
in securing the nomination and cleo
ton of such men to the legislature as
shall if elected, prove worthy of the
trust and equal to the task of refoFma=
ton:
The convention then authorized the
appointment of a county committee
offive by the chairman and adjourned.
