| 10. We realize further that the
problem Of t2xation Is one Of most
vital importance before our people.
and ve therefore earnestly recommend
changes in the tax laws to the cad
that a complete and rational system
| Of taxation be adopted. which shall
distribute fairly and impartially the
! burdens Of taxation
| II. The primary election Law hav-
ing been devised to give the individ-
ual voter the opportunity for larger
| participation in the political A4airs
| of his party and state, We pledge
| ourselves to the maintenance Of the
primary principles and to such
changes. amendments and improve
ments IS will from time to time sug-
sess themselves for its psopes and i'm
| partial operation after giving the Law
fair trial
II Under the inspiring Leadership
Of Theodore Roosevelt, the American
conscience has been quickened and
aroused to recognize the importance
Of the doctrines Of the square deal"
which means equality Of all men BE-
fore the law, and the equal enforce
ment OF the laws. We therefore
pledge the Republican party In this
state to the doctrine Of Law enforce
ment and call upon the men who are
to bear the standard Of Republican
ism to recognize this pledge in the
administration Of the o61ces to which
they may be chosen.
b. Transportation u necessary to
the development Of al sections Of the
state. We believe in the proper en-
couragement Of railroad building and
in wise. firm and just control and
regulation OF railroads, 90 that the
shipper shall have prompt, adequate
and effective remedy against injustice
OF whatever sort. and to the end
that settlers in the newly settled por-
tons OF our state may thereby be
furnished proper transportation Ia
cilities.
II. More stringent legislation to
suppress anarchy and restrict unde-
sirable immigration Is . duty We owe
organized society IL the interest Of
law and order. and the protection
and perpetuity Of our government.
u. Agriculture is the basis Of all
our wealth; the farmer and his toll
the foundation Of our prosperity.
Legislation. state and national,
should be enacted that will give ou1
farmers fair grades for their grains.

ages from their returns, insure stand.
ard. of grading that are uniform
and just, to the end that the producer
and not the middlemAn may receive
the benefit Of these uniform standards.
1G. We believe that Labor Day
should be recognized and made Z le-
gal holiday, and that q rigid child
labor Law should be enacted. which
would protect the children and give
them chance for that DEVELOPMENT
and education to which they are en-.
titled.
II. The matter Of irrigation Of the
farm lands Of large section Of the
state Is matter OF vast importance
to the people Of the whole state, and
we therefore favor the appropriation
by congress Of fair proportion Of
the moneys which were contributed
to that fund from the fees collect.
ed from the sale Of public lands in
North Dakota to that purpose. and,
realizing also the great necessity fos
drainage Of that section Of our state
lying near and contiguous to the Red
river valley. we recommend proper
appropriations from the funds above
mentioned contributed thereto BY the
sale OF public lands in the state to the
furtherance Of comprehensive
drainage system Of such lands.
~. We advocate the organization
OF all existing national public health
agencies into single national health
department with such improved stat
us, increased powers and ample imam
sial support as will give the federal
government the strongest possible
control over all national public
health interests.
-. We recognize that both capital
and labor occupy q necessarily in
ter.dependent relation to each other.
and believe that neither the leeiti-
mate and lawful objects Of the 6rst
can be curtailed. nor the rights and
privileges Of the latter denied. with
out injury ana harm 70 both. We
believe that the continued prosperity
Of our country requires Just and
equal laws. not only to keep capital
within Its legitimate channels. but
also to assure to labor its lawful
rights and privileges. and to this end
we believe that laws giving capital
It's fair and just rights should be
favored. and at the same time that
the rights Of labor to unionise for
legitimate and lawful objects should
be recognized. and we believe that
the granting Of injunctions in cases
involving labor disputes should be 20
regulated as to require notice and
hearing to the opposite party before
restraining orders are issued, and
We believe that some plan Of advisory
arbitration with z view Of full pub
licity to each side Of the controversy
will work satisfactory results In la
Dor disputes.
20. We advocate a liberal appro-
priation by congress for the improve
men of our rivers and waterways.
~. We are proud Of the record
made by the past Republican admin
istrations In our state and repose Inn
plicit confidence In the wisdom Of the
people composing the Republican
party of North Dakota. and pledge
our undivided support to the ticket
they may nominate ct the primary
election to be held In June. 1908.
