mean the Tying up Oh the natural II
sources of our state. 1t means tn
utilization of those resources unde
such regulations and control as wi
: prevent waste, extravaganza and me
nopoly and at the same time nc
merely permit but encourage sue
use and development as will serv
: the uses of the people generally. w
believe that the national government
an dthe state government should CO
operate in the carrying out of thi
important work and that such right
and powers as belong to the nationa
government should be by it exercised
and that such rights and powers a.
belong to the state government
should be maintained, preserved ant
exercised by it. In other words, tina
we accept the plain terms of the con
stitution as our guide and proceed il
good faith to protect, preserve ant
dedicate these natural resources tc
| the use of the people
The republican party believes in g
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
Industries and American labor it is
important that we neither permits its
abuse, not shut our eyes to changed
conditions. There should be an hon.
est and continued effort to fix duties
according to the rule heretofore an
nounced 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
upon this basis. In order that this
may be done efficiently and that the
facts mya be had TO an intelligent
application of the rule, we favor
tariff commission with ample power
to gather data and facts to the end
that while all abuses may be elimin-
ated We may still preserve unimpair-
ed the doctrine of protection as un-
derstood and defended by Hamilton,
Clay, Lincoln, Garfield, Blaine and
Mckinley.
We believe that sobriety and tenn
perance are indispensable to good
citizenship. We pledge the party
unequivocally to maintain, strength
en- and faithfully enforce the local
option law We further pledge the
party to the submission by the next
legislature for the approval or disap-
proval of the voters of this state of
an amendment to the constitution of
he state of Idaho prohibiting the sale
Or disposal of intoxicating liquors
within this state.
The republican party of Idaho re.
terates it's demands for the election
If United States senator's ly direct
,ote,
The republican party believes that
he United States should have the un-
Questioned power to levy and collect
tax upon incomes, and it therefore
lrges the next legislature of the state
4 Idaho to ratify the amendment to
he constitution now proposed upon
hat subject.
We compliment the citizens of
IDAHO upon the passage by Repub-
can legislature of our present direct
Urinary law and while favoring
Ranges in the same that the recent
lection suggests we affirm our al
'giance to the principle of nomina-
on of candidates by direct vote of
he people.
1t has always been the record OF
ne republican party to administer
lie affairs of the state and county ,
an economical and businesslike
tanner, and We pledge the party to -,
continuation of this principle in
lie future; and the state of Idaho
aving out-grown its present revenue
stem, We further pledge a revision !,
the laws on taxation andn revenue !;
line with other progressive states, :
order that the burdens of taxation .
ay be properly eQualized between ;,
e different counties of the state, 8
Id that all classes OF property, :,
neither individual or corporate, may :
ar it's just proportion. :
We believe that the settlers who :,
'on the public domain and cultivate :,
Id improve their land in good faith
I'd reside upon it for three years
ven sufficient evidence of their
'od faith as home builders and we
erefore favor the shortening of the "
sidence period for homesteads to Il
e term of three years. =
