doned the fundamental principles of

the lie tn 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.

ject the proposed constitutional amend

Water Storage-We believe that water
storage for arid lands should be recog-

teEtion to the specific decartion in this
sehali 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.

glory OF any empire based on the acqui-
sition OF distant countries and the sub
lection Of inferior races.

vert the income Of our schools

legislation as will protect individuals and
communities from unjust discrimination
