The 1905 resolution thus revived de-
clared for the nomination or William
II. Taft by the Republican national
convention, and add: I'VE have confi-

manhood, his comprehension OF large

The resolution of today proceeded:
| "And we now take pride in the fact
! that he was nominated and elected TO
that high office with the aid of Iowa
Republicans and that during the year
and a half of his service as President
of the United States he has fully justi-
fled the confidence placed in him by
| the Republican party. The record or
| achievements of President Tafts ad-
ministratiOn and the Sixty-first Con-

! guarantees faithful adherence 10 all
| the pledges of the last Repu blican ma
tional platform"

! by his distinguished predecessor"
were endorsed fully.

pounding OF the gavel by Senator Dol

plieattOn in the majority report, and

The Platform.
: The Republicans of Iowa rea firm
their loyalty TO the Republican ma
I tlonal platform of 1908 and especially
emphasize their long and well settled
faith in the Republican doctrine Of pro-
tariff revision of 1903 as a sat ais slte
tory fulfilment Of the party prom
lses. In order 10 bring the tariff into
into a complete compliance with the
rule OF the platform it is necessary that
the difference between the cost of pro-
dueing dutiable commodities at home
/, and abroad should be correctly known
Therefore. they favor the creation OF
an Independent nOn-partisan tariff
commission which shall DO the instru-
, mentality OF Congress to ascertain the
difference between the cost of pro-
! duction here and in other countries
and publish the facts so that not only
Congress but the people shall be adj
Vlsed or the results OF its investiga-
tions.
Until such a commission is authorized
they approve the effort of the Presi.
dent 10 secure the desired informa-
ton through a board of experts en-
ployed for that purpose.
Competition must be restored where
ii has been overdOne by unjust or IN
lawful combinations and il must bt
maintained where ii still exists.
They congratulate the country upOT
the success obtained in the regulation
OF our common carriers, but they fee
that there is yet much to be done tC
secure reasonable rates and charges Il
which II is entitled. All common car
riers should have fair compensation
but no more. It is clear that to en-
able the railroad commissions, both ma
tiOnal and state, 70 discharge the du
ties imposed upon them by law. val
uation should be made of the physica
properties OF railway companies to Sc
cure an effective control of rates an
a complete system Of accounting.
Postal Savings Endorsed.
The platform concludes with an en-
| dorsement of the postal savings banl
bill. suggesting, however, as does tn
| Democratic platform recently adOpte'
az Ottumwa. that the law should pro
vide that savings deposited with thes'
| banks shall be retained on deposit 70
| use in the communities where the de
| pOsits are made. The policy of con
| serVation OF natural resources. incom
| tax and good roads are upheld.
United States senators should b.
| elected by direct vote Of the people.
! They endorse such efforts as PFesi
4 dent Taft and his advisers have mad
| TO fulfill the promises of the nationa
platform and which have been in har
mony with the declarations of thi
convention.
They commend to the nation the typ
of craftsmanship exhibited by Senator
DOlliver and Cummins and they hearth
endorse their work.
They commend the action of tn
