CARDS equality OF rights under the law
as the paramount question in govern
ment.
In its allusions to both national and
state affairs the platform adopted
at Colorado Springs is eminently
sane. There are no appeals to pop
ular passion. nor are there any YER
bal phyrotechnics to obscure the in
tent and meaning of the party's pur-
poses. The platform is an honest,
clear-cut declaration and points out
clearly the problems OF administra-
ton in this state and the methods that
should be employed for their solu-
ton.
In federal matters the platform en-
dorses the able, efficient and progress
sive administration of President W.
II. Taft; affirms its faith in the prin-
ciple of the protective tariff as de-
clared by the Republican national
platform in 1908; expresses adherence
to the tax on corporations adopted by
a Republican congress under the pro-
visions of which the national raven
ues were increased more than $27,-
100000 the first year after its enact
ment and to the conservation by the
government al Washington OF all of
the natural resources of the state,
without waste of the substance. or
affording opportunity for MONOPOLY
of the use.
In the state matters the platform
calls attention to the success attend
ing the prosecution OF those combina-
tions and conspiracies in restraint of
trade by concerns engaged in inter
state commerce under the Sherman
antitrust law and declares itself in
favor Of the enactment of a law by
the state legislature through which
those combinations commonly known
as trusts" may be effectively prose-
cuted. The Democratic executive of
the state is condemned for refusing
to include the demand for such
statute in his recent call for a special
The good roads movement is endorsed
and encouraged in the platform. a
plank for which a great deal of credit
is due Chas. r. McTain of this city.
The platform declares for a compre-
hensive system of public highways in
this state which shall conform to a
general plan approved by the state
engineer
| The platform declares in favor of
complete revision Of our revenue
laws along lines which will permit
of the general adjustment of all tax
burdens by a central commission or
, body, TO the end that the property of
the small taxpayers shall not be tax
ed at a higher rate than that OF the
large taxpayers.
1t recommends that the present rail-
way commission law be 50 amended
as to include all public utility corpor-
ations and such power should be
vested in the commissioners as will
enable them to compel good service
