 6. The history of the Nor mon church in the United States means an eeclesi astical control that has ever been az gTessite. exactiug and ty rsnnieal and whose boast has ever bSen that the Mormon church aud people do not and will not assimila;e with the people of our country; whose dominating tenet Is | polygamy; whose doctrine is to segre- gate its people from all others in their affairs; who vote as one man under the | dicsation of its priesthood and only ! for those who can be used for its base | purposes; that as a people they are un- | American ond disluyal, and that for less reasons than these the Chinese have been refused citizenship and are excluded from our county; that the l Mormon element in our midst is con stautly increasing; that ihe evil of their lives is a blot upon the good name and fair fame of OFT Territory, and tbat if we allow this vice to con tinue we can hope 10 harvest from it only evil; and. therefore,
 | we. iuG htlLoGa, convention assembled, iio hereby dc mand of Congress that before 1t aa Iourns 1t shall pass the bull now pend ing before it. known as sn Act for iEe "Purifcstion of Elections in Arizona. '. We urge upon Congress the i'm. mediate necessity of remedial legisla- | ton toward relieving the settlers upon the public domain in this Territory from Ihe detrimental effects of the operation of the provisions of the Arid Land bill of October 2. 1888

 To- Taxation for Territorial. county and municipal purpo-es should not be predica,ed upon principle of iurLish ing living for public officials who seek office, but should be restricted absolutely 10 just compensation for actual services rendered. and we sin cerely dPpTeoate and shall resist the growing tendency of our Territory to increase the burdens of the tax payers beyond the actual necessity of pro viding for a fair remuneration for honest and efficient public servants. and we believe 1t to be the duty of the Republican party to address itself forthwith 10 iimipishipg taxation by cutting of all needless offices aud re lduciDg public expenditures 10 the low est point consistent with an hC nest and efficient administration of the laws.
 IL The principles of Republicanism require the party to foster and encour age every industry which tends to give vitality and prosperity to the whole Territory by a wise. iadicious legfsla- ton, whereby the interests of labor ana capital shall be equally protected.
