the people generally. We believe that
the national government and the state
government should cooperate in the
carrying on Of this important work
and that such rights and powers as
belong to the national government
should be by it exercised and that such
rights and powers as belong to the
state government should be maintained
preserved and exercised by 1t. In
other words that we should accept the
plain terms of the constitution as our
guide and proceed in good faith to
protect, preserve and dedicate these
natural resources to the use of the
people.
The Republican party believes in
protective tariff. 1t will put forth Its
efforts to retain this policy at all
times but that it may retain and
secure its full benefit to American in
dustries and American labor it is
important that we neither permit its
abuse nor shut our eyes to changed
conditions. There should be an
honest and continued effort to fix
duties according TO the rule heretofore
announced by the Republican party,
to wit: The diffeaence between the
cost of production at home and abroad.
There should be as nearly as possible
scientific adjustment Of the tariff up
Oh this basis. In order that this may
be done efficiently and that the facts
may be had for an intelligent applica-
ton of the rule we favor a tariff COM
mission with ample power to gather
data and facts to tee end that while
all abuses may be eliminated we may
still preserve unimpaired the doctrine
of protection as understood and de-
Tended by Hamilton. Clay, Lincoln.
Garfield. Blaine and Mckinley.
We believe shat sobriety and tenn
perance are indispensable to good cit
zeuship. We pledge the party IN
equivocally to maintain, strengthen
and faithfully enforce the local option
law. We further pledge the party to
the submission by the next legislature
for the approval or disapproval Of the
voters of this state of an amendment
to the constitution Of the state of Idaho
prohibiting the sale or disposal Of In
toxicating liquors within this state.
The Republican party of Idaho re-
iterates its demands for the election of
United States senators by direct vote.
The Republican party believes that
the United States should have the IN
questioned power to levy aud collect a
/ tax upon incomes, and it therefore
urges the next legislature of the state
Of Idaho to ratify the amendments to
the constitution now proposed upon
the subject.
At time when interest in improved
highways is moving all our sister
states to action Idaho should not be
slow to recognize that bad roads put q
heavy tax upon agriculture, tend te
lessen the attraction to rural life ant
inevitably in the end work to lower
the value of all forms of property
We urge upon the coming legislature
that it take the road problem into
comprehensive consideration and pro-
vide for the taking of such steps a.
Twill give to Idaho system of road
best adapted to her needs and condi-
tiops.
i We compliment the citizens o
Idaho upon the passage by Republi
can legislature of our present direc
primary law ard while favorin,
changes in the same that the recen
election suggests, we affirm GU
allegiance to the principle of nomina
ton of candidates by direct vote o
the people.
1t has always been the record of tn
Republican party to administe: tn
) affairs of the state and county in a
: economical and business like manner
and we pledge the party to a continu
alton of this principle in the future
| and the state of Idaho having out
grown its present revenue system, W
r further pledge revision of the Law
on taxation and revenue in line wit
, other progressive states, in order tina
the burdens of tsxation may be proper
, ly equalized between the differer
counties of the state, and that a
r classes of property, whether indIvidus
, or corporate, may bear its just proper
: ton:
We believe that the settlers who g
