passage by the next legislature
of effective pure seed laws, and
laws for the guaranteeing to the
purchasers that fruit trees shall
be true to name.
GRAIN COMMISSION.
We favor such amendments to
the grain commission law and
such adequate appropriations for
the use of the grain commission OF
the state as will make fully eff

sion, especially touching the in
spection and control of public
scales and the inspection and

a market for Idaho grains upon

NONPARTIZAN STATE RAIL
WAY COMMISSION.
We pledge the party to the en-
actment at the next session of the
legislature of a law providing for
a nonpartizan State Railway com
mission, to be comprised of three
men, who shall be appointed to
said commission because of their
special fitness for said work.
EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.
Our system of public education

numerous public schools and high

dustrial school at st. Anthony,
and the University of Idaho, COM
posed of a college of letters and
arts, the college of agriculture
and the college of engineering,
located at Moscow, should be the
first concern of the people of the
state. We therefore pledge the
republican party of this state to
maintain the integrity of these
state institutions as described by
the act creating them and to sup
port each of them in maintenance
in growth as far as the finances
of the state will allow, reeOgniz-
ing that on the growth anddevel-
opment of these institutions de-
ponds the upbuilding of the moral
and intellectual welfare of the
youth of Idaho. And to this end
we urge the Legislature to take
up and pass the appropriation
bills for all educational and char
table institutions as soon after
converting as possible, and before
the other work of the Legislature
shall be taken up.

certify that the following is the
Idaho County Republican Plat

ton ON said date:
Resolved, that we endorse
the national administration. and
view with pleasure the wise, bust
nesslike administration of Presi-
dent Taft; we endorse the State
Republican Platform as adopt
ed in Boise, SEPTEMBER 20. 1910,
and the splendid administration
of James H. Brady.
We recognize agriculture as
the leading industry of the state,
and believe that every reasonable
effort should be made to enact
just and reasonable laws. such as
will elevate and protect the farm
ing interests.
We pledge our legislative can
didates to support an effective
pure seed law, a noxious weed
law, and a trespass law such as
will protect the farmers fields
and stock against careless and ir-
responsible hunters.
Fully approaching what has
already been accomplished by the

lie scales under the supervision
of the Grain commission the adj
ding of pure seed inspection de.
partment, and providing suffic-
lent appropriation for the most
effective work of the commission,
Resolved, that we favor such
law as will give the people a
right to recall dishonest public
officials, repeal unjust laws, and
pass meritorious legislation over
the heads of corrupt legislatures.
1--WE realize the necessity of
honest capital combined for the
purpose of developing our natur-
al resources, giving employment to
our labor, and providing for the
general comforts of the people
but, when combinations of CAPT
tai become oppressive, they should
be placed under state and nation
