means in their power for the creation OF
such a department. We look forward with
pardonable pride to the early construction
already assured, OF the restraining barriers
for which half a million of dollars has been
appropriated by our state and national gov
eminent. The mineral lands Of California
should be preserved for occupation and de-
velopment by the miner, and we pledge our
nominees for congress to labor for such ma
tional legislation as will finally accomplish
this.
Irrigation Facilities
The present year has demonstrated again
the necessity for a complete system of irri-
CATION which shall enable the land owner
to use, in dry and rainless summers, the
water that is so plentiful in the winters
and, by its means, secure fruitful crops
from what Is now worse than wasted soil.
The redemption of the many millions OF
acres of the present arid lands of America
Is task that should engage the attention
Of the authorities, both state and federal
for Its success will add promptly and i'm
measurably to our taxable wealth and pop
ulation. The conserving Of the flood waters
Of winter will require the investment Of
many millions of dollars. which If invested
by private capital would subject the set
,,er and land owner TO imnosition ana ex-
tortion. We therefore pledge our represen-
tatives In congress to the policy OF the 1oca-
ton and construction OF system OF stor-
age reservoirs by the general government.

Food Adulteration
The sdutteration of food is crime
against the present and future welfare of
the whole people. 1t has no excuse for its
commission and its perpetrators should be
punished and the practice forever pre-
vented. We demand the vigorous enrorce-
ment of the laws already passed against
this infamous traffic and the passage and
strong enforcement OF such other meas
ures as are needed to give the officials full
power to eradicate this blot upon civiliza-
ton and properly punish those engaged IN
this nefarious business
