utilization of those resources under
such regulation and control as will
prevent waste, extravaganza and mon
opoly and at the same time not merely
permit but encourage such use and
development as will serve the uses of
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 It. 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 a
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 permi. 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 difference between the
cost of production at home and abroad.
There should be as nearly as possible
a scientific adjustment of the tariff up
OF 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 the end that while
all abuses may be eliminated we may
still preserve uninpaired the doctrine
of protection as understood and de-
Tended by Hamilton. Clay, Lincoln,
Garfield. Blaine and Mckinley.
We believe that sobrlety and tenn
perance are indispensable to good cit
zenship, We pledge the party un-
equivocally to maintain, strengthen
and faithfully enforce the local option
law. We further pledge the party tc
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 oil
United States senators by direct vote
The Republican party believes thai
the United States should have the un-
questioned power to levy and collect q
tax upon incomes, and it therefore
urges the next legislature of the state
! Of Idaho to ratify the amendments te
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 {
heavy tax upon agriculture, tend to
lessen the attraction to rural life an(
inevitably in the end work to lower
the value of all forms of property
We urge upon the coming legislator,
} that it take the road problem into
comprehensive consideration and pro-
vide for the taking of such steps a.
will give to Idaho system of road
best adapted to her needs and condi-
tiops.
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 ou
: allegiance to the principle of nomina-
| ton of candidates by direct vote o
! the people.
1t has always been the record of th
Republican party to administe: tn
; affairs of the state and county in al
5 economical and business like manne-
} and we pledge the party to continu-
:, alton of this principle in the future
r and the state of Idaho having out
] grown its present revenue system, w
: further pledge revision of the law
= on taxation and revenue in line will
other progressive states, in order tha
the burdens of texation may be PROPER.
