:Ov1sioa. Future revtstous should be
made only after careful investigation
and upon fall Information and through
laws applying to individual schedules.
This 10 made possible by the estab-
ushment Of . permanent tariff board,
which win 60 far to remove this Ques-
tion from party politics and the influ-
once 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
ment for American commerce.
Through its operation the president
has been able to secure from every
civilized nation in the world the ben

will continue to be, the policy of the
government to draw a large portion

These duties should be imposed in
Euch manner ~ best to protect Amer
lean industry and American labor, but
as other tariff reductions are made it
may become necessary to resort to
other forms Of taxation. To provide
for this Republican president and a
Republican Congress has secured the
enactment of q law providing for the
taxing OF corporations. and during the
frst year of its operation it has re-
suited in the increase Of our national
revenues over 27,O0O. 900. They have
also caused to be submitted to the
states an amendment to the federal
constitution providing for q gradual
ed 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
ification in case the Republicans shall
control the next legislature Of this
state.

No president who has ever been
called upon to deal with this trying
question has grasped it in so broad,
20 sane and 10 effective manner as
has President Taft. and 1t is largely
due to his efforts:
F1rst-That q substantial down.
ward revision has been secured.
second-That a permanent tarih
hoard has been established.
Third-That the principle Of revi.
sion of individual schedules has be
come . recognized Republican policy.
rourth-That the maximum and
minimum clause was included in the
present law: and
Fifth-That the way has been
paved for future reductions by pro-
viding against any impairment OF our
aational revenues through taxes upon
the incomes Of corporations. and
through . constitutional amendment
Authorizing the imposition of q grad
uated income tax.
We are in favor Of the development
and conservation Of all the national
resources Of the state without waste

right to appropriate the waters OF the

We favor liberal appropriations by
both the state and federal govern

reference to the waters Of the Rio

appropriation by the next legislature
