States. But it did not rest here Finding
that the laws passed We're lacking in the
power 81 enforcement, it proceeded to call
into existence the Railroad and Warehouse
Commissions body whose sole duty it is
to guard the interests of the producer
against illegal and unwarranted imposition
by transportation lines
1t is not pretended that this law is per-
feet or that the commissioners are vested
with all the power necessary to a full and ex-
act discharge Of their duties. But it is as
serted that the Republican party stands
ready to supplement- it's action by further
legislation at the earliest possible momeno.
THE DAIRY COMMISSION
As the question of diversified farming
began to press itself upon the attention Of
the farmers of the state, thousands of agri-
culturists turned their wheat fields into
grazing pastures and meadows and commen.
ced experimenting in raising cattle for
dairy purposes These progressive farmers
soon found that their efforts to make this
desirable tOrm o! agricultural industry prof.
table We're handicapped by designing aud
constituencies men and corporations, who
were foisting impure, deleterous and even
poisonous substances into the market, I'M
der the name dairy products. The sub
ject was at once called co the attention of
the legislature by the farmers, and forthwith
that party proceeded TO create the
State Dairy commission. The elaborate
and useful labors of this department. OF the
State Government in behalf OF the farmer
during the past four years is EN- bodied in
the full and complete reports OF the State
Dairy commissioner and still this institution
is as yet only i'll it's infancy AS year follows
year Its platform ot-useulness to the agri-
cultural interests will widen, until it will be-
come q bene action not only to the farmer
but to the entire people OF Minnesota.
g THE LABOR BUREAU.
Above the shouting OF place-hunting dem
agogues. who would mslead the working
men o. the State and carry them into the
sloughs and morasses OF communism and
socialism. the great party heard the honest
protest OF the real laborers of the state. The
one cry was sufficient and the legislation
proceeded to call into existence the Bureau
of Labor statistics. This department. is
still in its infancy, having as yet issued but
one report, and having in process OF COLA
ton the second. Who can doubt, as the years
move onward. however, that it will become
one OF the most useful and necessary ad-
juncts t o our civilization?
Inc Republican party is pledged to main
tain this bureau, and to so amend the law
that it's duties and powers shall be widened
until 1T becomes q still greater engine of
good to the whole people.
IN CONCLUSION.
In one brief article, intended only to at
tract the momentary attention of the hur-
ried reader, it is impossible to combine and
elaborate all OF the minor acts done by this
great and progressive political party. Meth
err has it been deemed advisable to embody
any statistics in this article, but only to call
public attention to these various accom-
plishments, leaving to each individual to
examine for himselfthe reports of these several
Boards and Commissions.
1t has been intended to show in general
manner that there was no need or call for
the Alliance-Labor party as a political
organization-that tho work it may honest
" strive to do will be better and more sure
~ done by party of progress, such as the
Republican party is. A thousand laws of
lesser magnitude have been passed all tend.
ing in the same direction, show that the
Repu blican party rs political organization
stands ready to obey any demand for hon
est and righteous Legislation which the ag-
ricultural interest may make.
Farmers! Do not be deceived by dema-
gogues and place hunters, and do not be
coaxed, fooled or driven into the ranks of
the reactionary Democracy.
