liberaliy administered and preference
respect to Employment in the public servics
to soldiers and sailors and to their widows
and orphans.
AN EFFICIENT CIVIL SERVICE.
We commend the policy OF the republican
party in maintaining the efficiency Of the
civil service. The administration has act
ed wisely in its effort to secure for public
service In Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and
the Philippine islands only those whose fit
experience. We believe that employment
in the public service In these territories
should be confined as far as practicable to
their inhabitants.
1T was the plain purpose of the fifteenth
amendment to the constitution 10 prevent
discrimination on account of race on color
in regulating the elective franchise. De-
utOry or constitutional enactment, to avoid
the purpose of this amendment, are revo-
lutionary and should be condemned.
GOOD ROADS.
Public movements looking to a perma-
nent Improvement Of the roads and high
approval and we recommend this subject to
the earnestSconsideration of the people and
the legislatures of the several states.
We favor the extension Of the rural free.

ARID LANDS.
In further pursuance of the constant pol
icy Of the republican party to provide free
homes on the public domain, we recon-
mend adequate national legislation to re-
claim the arid lands of the United States,
reserving control of the distribution Of wa
ter for irrigation to the respective states
and territories.
We favor home rule for and the early
admission to statehood of the territories of
New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma.
A REDUCTION OF WAR TAXES.
The Dingley act amended to provide suf-
ticient revenue for the conduct of the war
has SO we'll performed Its work that 1t has
been possible to reduce the war debt In
the sum of 0,000,0 600. So ample are the
governments revenues, and so great is the
public confidence in the Integrity of it's OBJ
bonds sell at a premium. The country is
now justified in expecting and 1t will be
the policy of the republican party to bring
about a reduction of the war taxes.
TRADE EXPANSION.
We favor the construction, ownership,
control and protection Of an isthmian canal
by the government of the United States.
New markets are necessary for the in.
creasing surplus of our farm products.
Every effort should be made to open and
obtain new markets, especially in the orr
ent, and the administration is warmly to
be commended for it's successful effort to
commit all trading and acolonizing nations
through the policy Of the open door in
