market manipulation. and has failed to
give to the 100000 depos!tors of the
country protection in their savings.
We believe that in so far as the needs
of commerce require an emergency cur
rency. such currency should be issued,
controlled by the federal government
and loaned on adequate security 20 ma
tional and state banks. We pledge our
selves to legislation under which the ma
tional banks shall be required 10 estab-
fish a guaranty fund for the prompt pay
ment of the depositors of any insolvent
national bank under an equitable sys-
tenn which shall be available to all state
banking institutions wishing to Use II.
We favor "A postal savings bank. IL the
guaranteed bank cannot be secured. and
that il be constituted so as TO keep the

the policy of the Republican party ia

Income Tax.
We favor an income tax part OF our
revenue system, and We urge the sub
mission of constitutional amendment

Labor and InIunctsons
The courts Of justice are the bulwark
of our liberties, and We yield 10 none tn
our purpose to maintain their dignity
our party has given to the bench a long
line Of distinguished judges. who haTr
added to the respect and confidence in
which this department must be iaalousiy
maintained. We resent the attempt OF
the Republican party 10 raise false is
sues respecting the judiciary. II Is an
unjust reflection upon a great body of
respect for the courts. It is the function
of the courts to interpret the lawS
which the people create. and IL the laws
appear to work economic. social or po=
litical Injustice It is our duty To change
them. The only basis upon which the
integrity of our courts can stand is that
life: personal liberty and property. If
judicial processes may be abused we
should guard against abuse
Experience has proven the necessity Of
a modification of the present law relating
to injunctions, and we reiterate the
pledge of our national platforms of 1896
and 1904 in favor OF the measure which
passed the United States senate in 1925
but which a Republican congress has
ever since refused to enact, relating to
contempts in federal courts and provid-
ing for trial by Jury In cases of indirect
contempt. Questions of judicial practice
have arisen especially in connection with
industrial disputes. We deem that par
ties to all judicial proceedings should be
treated with rigid impartality and that
injunctions should not be issued in any
case in which injunctions would not issue
If no industrial dispute We're involved.
The expanding organization of industry
makes il essential that there should be no
abrdgment of the right of wage-earners
and producers to organize for the pro
lection of wages and the Improvement
of la Dor conditions to the end that such
labor organizations and their members
bina lions in restraint of trade.
We favor the eight-hour day on all
government work.
We pledge the Democratic party to
the enactment of a law hv congress. as
far as the federal jurisdiction extends.
for a general employers liability act
covering injury to body or loss of life
We pledge the Democratic party to
the enactment of law creating de-
partment Of labor, represented sena-
rately in the presidents cabinet. which
department shall include the subject
of mines and mining.
Merchant Marine.
We believe in the upbuilding OF the
American and merchant marine with
out new or additional burdens upon the
people and without bounties from the
public treasury
The Navy.
The constitutional provision that p
