DISAPPR0vED or
Citizens Generally Regard Ac-
ton of Council in Theater Or
dinance as a Mistake.
ALDERMEN ACTED HASTILY
Adopted Measures Depressing Vaude.
vile House Proprietors Without
Due Consideration.

Much discussion of the ordinance
adopted by the council Monday even
Ing to increase the theater license
fee, is being INDUCED in since the
news of the councils action has been
generally circulated, and everywhere
the measure is criticized as a spiteful
and discriminating ordinance adopted
without warrant. The theaters which
are most affected by the ordinance are
those patronized by people of liberal
means largely, and there is no appar-
ent reason for depressing the owners
of these amusement places. The vaude-
vile houses have provided on the
whole clean creditable entertainments
and the public resents the action of
the council i'll placing such a burden
on them.
Mistake of Haste.
The mistake, it appears, is one of
those grave errors which are so likely
to occur when the council acts on i'm
portant measures with too great haste.
Any measure to Cypress any place of
amusement would be deprecated by
the people of the city, whether it af-
fected the vaudeville houses or the
so called Legitimate theaters.
Mayor Schaffer has not signed the
ordinance, and it may not become law

POPULAR ELECTION OF SENATOR'S
We favor the election of United
States senators by direct vote of the
people and regard this reform as the
gateway to the other national re-
forms.
PAN-AMERICAN RELATIONS.
The Democratic party recognizes
the Importance and advantage of
developing closer ties of pan-Ameri-
can friendship and commerce be-
tween the United States and her
sister nations of in-America and
favors the taking of such steps con-
slstent with Democratic policies for
better acquaintance, greater mutual
confidence, and larger exchange of
trade, as will bring lasting benefit

ASIATIC IMMl,
We favor full protection by both
national and State governments WI
in their respective spheres of all
eigners residing in the Uni I
under treaty, but We are OPP Il to
the admission of Asiatic immigrants
who can not amalgamate with our
population, or whose presence among
US would raise a race issue and in

MINOR ISSUES.
Other plankS in the platform call
for an immediate declaration of the
nations purpose to recognize the IN
dependence of the Philippines; de.
nounce the growing increase of
Office holders under the Republican
administration as indicating DELHI
crate purpose to continue the Repub-
Iicans in power; demand that the
house of representatives shall again
become deliberate body, controlled
bv majority of the members and
not by the speaker; favor an imme-
diate, liberal and comprehensive plan
for improving every water course in
the Union; condemn the action of
the present chief executive in using
the patronage of his high office to
secure the nomination of one of his
cabinet officers; pledge the party to
the enactment of law to regulate
the rates and suits of telegraph and
telephone companies; call for honest
and rigid enforcement of the civil
service laws; favor immediate admis-
sion of Arizona and New Mexico as
separate States; declare that rules
and regulations in relation to free
grazing lands should be left to the
people of the States where the lands
are situated: favor the extension of
agricultural, mechanical and indus
trial education; declare belief in the
apbuilding of the American mer-
chant marine without new or addi-
tional burdens upon the people and
without bounties from the public
treasury; favor the application Of
principles of the land laws of the

ful violation of all prudent conditions
of government, as no less than a
crime against the millions cf work
ing men and women from whose
earnings the great proportion of these
colossal sums must be eXtorted
through excessive tariff eXactlons
and other indirect methods. 1t is
not surprising that, in the face OF
this shocking record, the Republl.
can platform contains no reference
to economical administration or
promise thereof ia the future. We
demand that stop be put to this
frightful extravaganza and insist
upon the strictest economy in every
department compatible with frugal
and efficient administration.
NATURAL RESOURCES.
|
We repeat the demand for internal
development and fer the conversation
IF our natural resources contained in
previous platforms, the enforcement
of which Mr.. Roosevelt has vainly
sought from a reluctant party, and
to that end We insist 'aQn the pre-
saryot,on nrotectiOn IacS'
ment of needed forests, t.
tion of the public domain
seekers, the protection of t.
resources in timber, coal,
oil against monopolistic contl
development of our waterway
navigation and every other
purpose, including the irligati
arid lands, the reclamation of S,
lands, the clari6cation of stre'
the development of water power
the preservation of electric powe.
generated by this natural force from
the control of monopoly, and to such
end we urge the exercise of all pow
ers, national, State and municipal,
both separately and IN cooperation.
We insist upon policy of admin
istratlon of our forest reserve which |
shall relieve it of the abuses which
have:arisen and which shall, as far
us practicable, conform to the police
regulations of the several States
where they are located, which shall
enable homesteaders as of right to
occupy and acquire title to all por-
tions thereof which are especially
adapted to agriculture anu which
shall furnish a system of timber sales
available as we'll to the private clti-
Zen as to larger manufacturer and
consumer.
BANKING.
The panic of 1907, coming without
any legitimate excuse. when the Re
publican party for decade had been
in complete control of the federal
government, furnishes additional evil
Cence that it is either unwilling or
incompetent to protect the interest
of the general public. 1t has linked
the country to Wall street so that
the sins of the spectators are visited
upon the whole people. While re-
hsing to rescue wealth producers
from spoilation at the hands OF the
stock gamblers and spectators in
farm products, it has deposited the
treasury funds, without interest and
without competition, in favorite
banks. 1t has used an emergency
for which 1t is largely responsible to
force through congress bill chang
ing the basis of bank currency and
inviting market manipulation, and
has failed to give to the 100000
oepositors of the country protection
in their savings.
We believe that in so far as the
needs of commerce require an emer.
gency currency, such currency should
be issued, controlled by the federal
government and loaned on adequate
security to national and State banks
We pledge ourselves to legislation
under which the national banks shall

INCOME TAN.
We favor an income tax as part of

submission of a constitutional amend

individual and corporate incomes to
the end that wealth may bear its
proportionate share of the burdens
of the federal government.
