the men who are to bear the stand

the offices to which they may be
chosen
12. We indorse the action of a Re-
| publican board of equalization in
! its efforts to determine a just share
of taxation to be borne by the rail
roads and we declare our belief that
physical valuation of our railroads
and property Of other public service
corporations should be made by the
state and by the nation in order that
the rate of taxation and service
may be more justly determined.

II. We believe that Labor Day
should be recognized and made a

ton and drainage.

our wealth, the farmer and his toll,

should be enacted, that will give -
farmers fair grades for their grains,
check excess dockage and other leak
!, ages from their returns, insure stan
