protection of the honest labor of the state, to the end that alien eonract labor shall be prohibited from i'm portation for employment in the state. The constitution shall make it the duty of the legislature to enact a just and fair law, to be known as the Employers Liability Act" for the protection of employees of railroads and other corporations, to the end that more caution and skill shall be employed, service of employment more efficient, and lives of men better protected.
 There shall be no exemption from taxation granted by the state or by any of the political units of the state, to any corporation except el- eemosynary corporations. The credit of the state shall not be loaned.
 The power of injunction shall be limited so that no state court shall be empowered to enjoin any citizen from doing those things that they have a legal right under the consti- tuition of the United States to do. The constitution shall contain a clause validating and making opera tive in the new state the present laws of the Territory of Arizona, necessarily including the present eight hour law and the present direc: primary law, passed by a Democratic legislature, in all cases not directly prohibited by the Enabling act.
 In addition to these specific prp visions, to which we pledge our can. didates for delegates to the Constitu- tional Convention, we unreservedly express our purpose to bring about the direct popular election of Unitel States Senators at the earlitst pos. sible moment permbitted to us under the Enabling act.
 ] We are deeply appreeiative of our 1 responsibility in laying down the basic law for unborn generations of Arizona citizens. We believe in the principles enuneiated by the immort- al Jefferson: "Equal right for all; special privileges for none" and Gall governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, !" and will do our utmost to have the State of Arizona governed by these principles.
 There is nothing flexible in these doctrines, and we believe in writing constitution that is not flexible but a elear-cut definition of rights and powers, that cannot be mistaken or perverted from their purpose.
 This Declaration of Principles we submit to a candid and thinking people.

 We, the minority of the Committee on Platform and Resolutions, beg leave to submit the following minor lty report, tO-wit: ..... We feel and fear that the recall made to this Convention is danger Ous to our admission as a State, be- cause of being obnoxious to the pow CTS tha must pass on said eonstitu- tion before admission, and feeling that it is wrong as a political prin- epic,

 In speaking upon the minority re- port Col Wilson felt that the recall feature in the platform would be dangerous to the party's success at the polls and was a wrong political principle. In all of his eheckered career, he had always worked for harmony, but he could not endorse a proposition that was dangerous to the partly veal, in public affairs. The recall was high sounding name and was like a beautiful rose upon a tnorny plant. He knew that it
