encs OF special interests
The maximum and minimum provi-
sions Of the present law protect US
from the discriminatory tariffs of
other nations and insure fair treat
msnt for American commerce.
Through Its operation the president
las been able to secure from every
civilized nation in the world the ben
EFT Of it, minimum rate. 1t is. and
will continue to be, the policy Of the
government to draw 4 large portion
of its revenue from import duties.
These duties should be imposed in
ruch manner - best to protect Amer
lean industry and American labor. but
a. other tariff reductions are made 1t
may become necessary to resort to
other forms Of taxation. To provide
for this = Republican president and
Republican Congress has secured the
enactment Of . law providing for the
taxing Of corporations. and during the
arst year Of it, operation 1t has re-
suited in the increase Of our national
revenues over 1900. 900. They have
also caused to be submitted to the
states an amendment to the federal
constitution providing for . graduat-
cd income tax. This amendment the
Democratic executive Of Colorado de-
clined to submit to the present ses-
sion of the state legislature; neither
was It mentioned in the recent Demo-
cratic platform. We highly indorse
this amendment, and promise its rat
iacation in case the Republicans shall
control the next legislature Of this
state.

No president who has ever been

Nrst-That = substantial down.

second-That . permanent tariff
hoard has been established.
Third-That the principle Of revi-
sion Of individual schedules has be-
come Q recognised Republican policy.
Fourth-That the maximum and
minimum clause was included in the
present law: and
F1fth-That the way has been
paved for future reductions by pro-
viding against any impairment OF our
national revenues through taxes upon
the incomes Of corporations, and
through Q constitutional amendment
authorizing the imposition Of q grad

We are in favor Of the development
and conservation Of all the national
resources Of the state without waste
Of the substance or afiording opportu-
nity for . monopoly Of the use, We
believe that the control Of the irriga-
ton resources Of Colorado should con-
tinue to be left with the people Of
the state under the local laws. Gus
toms and decisions Of courts. The
right to appropriate the waters Of the
non.navigable streams has been dedi-
Gated by the government to the use
of the people, and we believe that NO
further or other regulation is required
to develop. promote or conserve this

We favor liberal appropriations by
both the state and federal govern

reference to the waters OF the Rio
Grande, We particularly urge liberal
appropriation by the next legislature

from Colorado, New Mexico and ad-
joining states as will serve to DEM
