Effective Laws
I'VE point with pride to the hong list
of effective and salutary laws that have
been enacted by republican legislatures.
We have always been the friend of or
ganized labor. We created labor COM
mission; we provided tor factory inspec-
ton. We abolished prison contract labor.
We established trade schools. We en-
acted wise laws for the control of child
labor; we enacted model statutes pro-
viding for non-partisan control of the
states charitable, benevolent and penal
Institutions. We created railroad COM
mission we placed private banking I'M
der state supervision and regulations;
we have taken the peoples money from
under political control and distributed 1t
lmpartialy under the public depository
law and provide that the interest on the
money shall accrue to the public bene-
fit We enacted laws safeguarding the
public health and meeting in all respects,
the Just expectation of the most prosper
GUS and progressive of American common
wealths.
1--WE recognize that no President in our
history ever began his administration with
such universal favor and good will as
did William Howard Taft: few men have
entered the presidency with such extra
ordinary training. AS collector of in
Lernal revenue, prosecuting attorney,
Judge of state court, solicitor general,
federal judge, governor of the Philip
pine islands, secretary of state, builder of
the Panama canal, regenerator of Cuba
each period of official activity immedi-
ately following another for his entire
adult life, he brought to the discharge
of the great duties of the presidency
broad executive experience and grasp of
governmental affairs. We indorse his
administration and pledge our support
for the enactment of progressive legis-
lation.'
The platform ends with an hearty in
dorsement of Senator Beveridge.

showed 6.45 per cent to be tuberculous.
Another herd of 81 cows was found to con-

There are about Us dairy herds supply

takes two days to test a herd (unless two

require $50 days in which to tuberculin
test all of our dairy herds.
The department appreciates the hearty
spirit of cooperation of the dairymen
FOR the willingness with which they
are having their herds tested with tuber-
culin. and for the desire to have the tub
erculous animals removed from their
herds, when any are found.
Some OF our darymen have made COM

that customers use the milk bottles for
purposes other than for milk. THAI

properly washed Immediately after the
milk is emptied a residue of the milk
will get dry and become adhered to the
