are one and inseparable. The island Of
Porto Rico is part of the United States,
and placing upon it the burden of certain

delegate to Congress, the Adminlstra- !
ton has violated the Constitution, aban-
doned the fundamental principles OF
American liberty, and has striven to give
the lie to the contention of our fore
fathers that all men are created equal,
that government rests for its sanction
upon the consent of the governed. and
that representation and taxation are in
seperable.

Jet the proposed constitutional amend

commentator to the Legislature from
time to time as to appropriate Legislation.
! Water Storage-We believe that water
storage for arid lands should be recog-
nized by the general government as Il
part of its internal improvement system,
and that liberal appropriations should lie
made for that purpose, and we call at
tention to the specific declartion in this
behalf in the national platform, favoring
an intelligent system of improving the
arid lands of the West, storing the waters
for the purposes of irrigation, and the
| holding of such lands TOR actual settlers.
We believe that the development of the
Republic within the arid regions, by a

citizenship, far SURPRISING the power and
glory of any empire based on the acqui-
sltlOn of distant countries and the sub
