The Resolutions.
The republican party in convention
assembled renews its allegiance to the
grand old party of which William H.
Taft our beloved President. is the ac-
knowlelged head and leader. We call
attention to the fact that the present
party in national power has given the
people an administration that is distin-
guished for its achievements in be-
half of the people and in comparison
to the good it has accomplished it has
been one of the most economical ad
ministrations in the history of this re
public.
Resolved that we condemn the reck-
less extravaganza and waste of the
funds of the state by the present demo
cratic administration in calling an ex-
ira session of the Legislature for the
sole purpose Of carrying out and pro
pogating the broken promises of the
democratic platform of two years ago
to be worked over in the present cam
paign at an expense to this date of
over 100000, and the legislature still
remains in continued session and no.
thing done of any benefit whatever.
We favor good roads for Garfield
county and insist that they represent
a splendid contributing factor to the
success of the towns and cities as well
as the farming communities, and we
look back with disfavor upon the idel
of permitting taxpayers to pay taxes
and build and maintain roads by their
own effort.
Resolved that we denounce the action
of the Board of County Commissioners
of this county in creating establishing
and maintaining an Office commonly
called "The County Indexer' in order
te provide place for couple of sup
erannuated democratic politicians, on.
of job. for which they have already
been paid the sum of $2,s62.92 and the
work is not half completed, and that
too when Kennedy & Weir and Darrow
& Co. submitted separate bids each to
complete said work for the sum of $2.-
900 and to give ample bond for the
completion of the same within six
months; such wanton, profligate and
uncalled for expenditure of the people s
money approaches the domain of grand
larceny and deserves the severest con
demnation of every taxpayer and voter
in the county.
Resolved, that we denounce the ac-
tion of the democratic county assessor
of this county when. upon the demand
of Governor Shafroth in order to pro
vide money with which to meet demo
cratic extravaganza in the state, after
he had made his sworn report fixing
the valuation of the property in the
county, he added thereto an additional
assessment of 342,411. in all in the last
two years, increasing the assessed valua
ton of the county since 1908 in TIL,
enormous sum of 1866, 749., nearly 80
percent, thus increasing the taxes If
the people of this county to limit
that was uncalled for and unnecessary,
that works great hardship upon the
taxpayer and which. in many instances
he is unable to meet.
The republican party favors and de-
mands a rigid enforcement of the law
and pledges its nominees that no fear
or favor will be shown in compelling
such enforcement of the strict letter of
the law.
