gard the Carey act matters and all
matters relating to the disposition of
public lands under said act. We
believe this work of disposing of the
lands under the Carey act has grown
to such proportions and is of such
vital Importance as to require the
exclusive attention of a competent
board in order that the interests OF
the state and the settlers may be
fully and completely safeguarded and
protected.
Carey Act Lands.
We pledge the party to the en-
actment of law making it a Grimm
al Offense punishable by imprison-
ment in the penitentiary for any
official or state employee or appoin-
tee having anything to do directly
or indirectly with the disposal of our
public lands under the Carey act or
otherwise to acquire an interest di-
rectly or indirectly in any lands dis
posed of by the state of Idaho or
to receive directly or indirectly from
any person, association or corpora
ton any reward, compensation o:
thing of value for any services per-
| formed or for any purpose in con-
nection with the disposal of said
lands.
Conservation of Natural Resources.
We earnestly favor such policy
of conservation as will safeguard
and protect our natural resources
from waste, extravaganza and mon
| opoly. Conservation does not mean
non-use or acknowledgement 1t does
not mean the tying up of the natural
resources of our state. 1t means the
l utilization of those resources under
such regulations and control as will
prevent waste, extravaganza and
monopoly and at the same time not
| merely permit but encourage such
use and the development as viii
serve the uses of the people gener-
ally. We believe that the national
government and the state govern,
ment should cooperate in the carry
ing on of this important work and
that such rights and powers as be
long to the national government
should be by it exercised and tha
such rights and powers as belong tx
the state government should b.
maintained, preserved and exercised
by it. In other words, that WI
should accept the plain terms of thu
constitution as our guide and pro
coed in good faith to protect, pre-
serve and dedicate these natural re
-sources to the use. of the people.
