state. We believe in the proper en-
couragement of railroad building and
in wise, firm and just control and
regulation of railroads, so 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-
lions of our state may thereby be
furnished proper transportation IA
cilities.
IA. More stringent legislation to
suppress anarchy and restrict unde-
sirable immigration is duty we owe
organized society in the interest of
law and order. and the protection
and perpetuity of our government.
Is. 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 our
farmers fair grades for their grains,
check excess dockage and other leak
ages from their returns, insure stan
dards of grading that are uniform
and just, to the end that the producer
and not the middle man may receive
the benefit of these uniform stan
dards.
Should Recognize Labor Day.
16. We believe that Labor Day
should be recognized and made le-
gal holiday, and that rigid child
labor law should be enacted, which
would protect the children and give
them a chance for their development
and education to which they are en-
titled
II. The matter of irrigation of the
farm lands of a large section of the
state is a 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 moneys collect
ed from the sale of public lands in
North Dakota to that purpose, and,
realizing also that the necessity Of
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.
18. We advocate the organization
of all existing national public health
agencies into a single national health
department with such improved stat
us, increased powers and ample finan-
cial support as will give the federal
government the strongest possible
control over all national public
health interests.
Capital and Labor.
10. We recognize that both capital
and labor occupy a necessarily in
ter-dependent relation to each other,
eand believe that neither the legiti-
mate and lawful objects of the first
can be curtailed, nor the rights and
privileges of the latter denied, with
out injury and harm to both. We
believe that the continued prosperity
of our country requires just and
equal laws, not only to keep capital
within it's legitimate channels, but
also to assure to labor its lawful
rights and privileges, and to this end
we believe that laws giving capital
its fair and just rights should be
favored, and at the same time that
the rights of labor to unionize for
legitimate and lawful objects should
be recognized, and we believe that
the granting of injunctions in cases
involving labor disputes should be so
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 view Of full pub
licity to each side of the controversy
will work satisfactory results in la
Dor disputes.
20. We advocate liberal apprc-
priation by congress for the improve
men of our rivers and waterways.
81. 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 at the primary
election to be held in June, 1908.
