all other forms of trusts; equitable
treatment of labor, a pure ballot
extended to the humblest as we'll
as the highest in the land.

/! We believe that the irrigation
plan recently adopted by congress
and being put into effect through
the interior department at Wash

much benefit to all the land covere'
by irrigation, and we urge upo
the people, the importance of sus
tanning the officers of the govern
ment in their attempt to apply il
provisions to the vast areas and un
cultivated lands in our own count
and tributary to us.
The water that is wasted by til
overflow OF our numerous mountai

and stored, is sufficient to reclail
all these lands, and we most hear
lily favor this law which originate
in the Republican party and whic
was passed by Republican COZ

tend to assist our national govern

We favor that section of the stat
platform which declares, That a
