We, the representatives of the Peoples
rarity of Custer county In delegate cOVnen-
ton assembled, hereby re-atlirm our
loyalty to the principles OF the Peoples
Party as enunciated at Omaha in 1892 and
| at the National Conventions in 1896 and
| 1900, and put forth the following deClara-
ton OF principles:
We declare that trusts have become
| menace to the national welfare and IL
not destroyed they will destroy free in
situations, and as remedy for the trust
evil, we declare,
First: For the government ownership
OF public utilities, especially the govern
| ment ownership Of railroads. AS a means
| to that end, we favor the government
| taking under the right of eminent domain
or building a sufficient mileage of rail-
| roads to enable il to fix or control passen-
ger and freight rates. As an additional
remedy for this evil we favor the with
drawal of all protective duties from all
trust manufactured articles and in its
| stead as revenue measure, we favor a
| direct and graduated income tax.
| Second: We declare for the principle OF
direct legislation and the right to recall
public servants who are unfaithful in the
discharge Of theirNluties.
Third: We denounce the recent Re
publican Legislation. First, because it de-
prives the people OF the right to elect their
own assessor, thus enabling the present
| Republican Railroad State Board of
| Equalization To saddle the burdens of
taxation upon the wealth producers of
| the state.
| Ennrth. We favor the nnnrniSmenL of
