gressive State executive committee of
Virginia, is in the city today in the
interest of the Progressive rally to be

August Il, Mr.. Woodland was for some
time in conference with Messrs. Sardo

headquarters, 5l2 + street northwest.

Mississippi River
Demands Attention.

The rivers of the United States are
the natural arteries of this continent.
We demand that they shall be opened
to traffic as indispensable parts of
a great nation wide system of trans
portation in which the Panama canal
will be the central link, thus enabling
the whole interior of the United States
to share with the Atlantic and Pacific
seaboards In the henefit to be derived
from the canals.
1t is a national obligation to devel-
op our rivers. and especially the
Mississippi and it's tributaries. with
out delay. under n comprehensive
general plan covering each river sys-
tenn from it's source to it's mouth. de-
signed to secure it's highest useful
ness for navigation. irrigation, do
mestic supply water power, and the
prevention of foods.
We pledge our party to the imme-
diate preparation of such plan.
which should be made and carried out
in close and friendly cooperation he
tween the nation. the States, and the
cities affected. Under such a plan the

Of business affairs shall justify that
profit and that control by sharing with
the public the fruits thereof.
we, therefore, demand strong ma
tlonal regulation of interstate corpora
TONS The corporation Is an essential
part Of modern business. The concen-
tration of modern business, in some de-
gree. Is both inevitable and necessary
efficiency. But the existing concentra-
tion of vast wealth under a corporate
system, unguarded and uncontrolled by
the nation, has placed In the hands OF
a rev men enormous secret, irresponsi-
BILE power over the daily life of the citi-
zens-a power insufferable In free
government and certain of abuse.
This power has been abused. in mo-
nopoly of national resources, in stock
watering, In unfair competition, and un-
fair privileges, and finally in sinister
influences on the public agencies of
State and nation. We do not fear COM
mercial power, but we insist that It
shar pe exercised openly. under pun
the most efficient sort, which will pre-
serve Its good while eradicating and
preventing its evils.
To that end we urge the establish
commission of high standing. which
shall maintain permanent active super
vision over industrial corporations en-
gagged In interstate commerce, or such
VI do dic VI
dong for them what the Government
now does for the national banks, and
what is now done for the railroads by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Such commission must enforce the
complete publicity of those corporate
transactions which are OF public in
terest; must attack unfair competition,
false capitalization, and special privi-
leges. and by continuous Hained' watch-
fulness guard and keep open equally
to all the progressive way of American
commerce. Thus the business man will
have certain knowledge Of the law, and
will be able to conduct his business
easily in conformity Herewith; the In
vestor will find security for his capital
dividends will be rendered more certain,
and the savings of the people will be
drawn naturally and safely into the
channels of trade.
Under such a system of constructive
regulation legitimate business, freed
from confusion, uncertainty. and fruit
less litigation will develop normally In
| response to the energy and enterprise
Of the American business man.
We pledge ourselves to the enact
| ment of a patent law which will make
| 1t impossible for patents TO be sup
| pressed or used against the public well
| fare in the interests OF injurious mon.
| opolies.

Back to the Farm
For National Benefit.

The development and prosperity OF
country pfe are as important to the peo-
pie who live in the cities as they are to
the farmers. Increase of prosperity on
the farm will favorably affect the cost
Of living, and promote the interests Of
all who depend upon its products for
clothing. shelter, and food.
We pledge our party to foster the
development of agricultural credit and
cooperation, the teaching of agricul-
ture in schools. agricultural college ex-
on the farm. and to re-esta blish the coun-
try life commission, thus directly pro-
noting the welfare of the farmers, and
bringing the benefits of better living
within their reach.
The high cost of living Is due partly
to world-wid- and partly to Local
causes; partly to natural and partly to
artificial causes. The measures pro-
posed in this platform on various sub.
| jects, such as the tariff, the trusts, and
| conservation, will of themselves re-
move the artificial causes. There will
| remain other elements, such as the ten
dency to leave the country for the city
| waste, extravaganza, bad system of
taxation, poor methods of raising crops
and bad business methods In marketing
| crops. TO remedy these conditions re-
quires the fullest information, and
based OH this information, effective
|
! remove all the artificial causes. We
| pledge ourselves to such full and i'm
/ mediate inquiry and to immediate &C
ton to deal with every, need such in
! quiry discloses.
we favor the union of all the existing
! agencies of the Federal Government
| dealing with the public health into q
| single national health service. without
discrimination against or for any Sc
of therapeutic methods. schools O
medicine. or school of healing. with
such additional powers. as may b.
necessary to enable 1t to perform effi
ciently such duties in the protection o.
the public from preventable disease a.

Federal authorities. including the exc

food, quarantine and cognate subjects

States and cities of the nation.
We believe that in true popular gov
ernment justice and prosperity go han'
in hand, and. so believing, II is ou

of general prosperity which is tn
fruit of legitimate and honest business
fostered by equal justice and by soun'

and gives our great commercial rivals

they are rapidly taking advantage.

Equal Suffrage
To Men and Women.

The Progressive party. believing that
no people can Justly claim to be a true
democracy which denies political rights
on account OF sex. pledges itself to the
task of securing equal suffrage to men
and women alike.
We pledge our party to legisla ton
that will compel sstrict limitation of all
campaign contributions and expendi-
lures, and detailed publicity of both be-
fore as we'll as after primaries and
elections.
We pledge our. party to legislation
compelling the registration of lobbyists

cept on foreign affairs. and recording
of all votes In committee; and forbid
ding Federal appointees from holding
office in State or national political or
ganizations, or taking part as officers or
delegates in political conventions for the
nomination OF elective State or national
officials. =
The Progressive party demands such
restriction of the power OF the courts
as shall leave to the people the ultimate
authority to determine fundamental
questions of social welfare aud public
policy. To secure its end II pledges IL

Inheritance and
Income Tax Needed.

We believe in a graduated inheritance
tax as a national means OF equalizng
the obligations OF holders Of property to
government. and We hereby pledge our
party to enact such a Federal law as
will tax large inheritances. returning to
the States an equitable percentage of all
amounts collected. We favor the ratih-

Want Constitution
More Easily Changed.

The Progressive party, believing that a
free people should have the power from
time to time to amend their funda-
mental law so as to adopt 1t progress
sively to the changing needs of the
people. pledges itself to provide a more
easy and expeditions method of amend
ing the Federal Constitution.
Up to the limit of the Constitution,
and later by the amendment of the
Constitution. II found necessary, We ad-
vocate bringing under effective national
Jurisdiction those problems which have
expanded beyond reach of the indi-
vidual States.
1t is as grotesque as 1t is intolerable
that the several States should by un-
equal laws in matter of common con-
Germ become competing commercial
agencies, barter the lives of their chill
dIen, the health of their women, and
the safety and well-being of their work.

The extreme insistence on States

cure to the people better administra-
ton of justice, and by that means to
bring about a more general respect for
the law and the courts, pledges itself to
work increasingly for the reform Of legal
procedure and judicial methods.
We believe that the issuance Of injunc-
tions in cases arising out of labor dis
putes should be prohibited when such in
functions would not apply when no labor
disputes existed.
We also believe that a person cited for
contempt in labor disputes. except when
such contempt was committed In the
actual presence of the court, or so near
thereto as to interfere with the proper
administration of justice, should have
right to trial by jury.
The supreme duty OF the nation is
the conservation of human resources
through an enlarged measure of social
and industrial justice.
We pledge ourselves to work unceas-
ingly in State and nation for:
Effective legislation looking to the
prevention of Industrial accidents. oc.
cupational diseases, overwork, invol un-
tary employment. and othe. injurious
effects incident to modern industry.
The fixing of minimum safety and

SAYS ELIZABETH IS
WASTING MUCH WATER.

ELIZABETH, Jan. 18.--Although g
request was recently made by Presi-
dent John W. Whelan, of the Eliza
BEETHOVEN Water Company, that the
residents of the city be as economical
as possible in their use of water, he
announced yesterday that the consump-
ton yesterday had amounted to H.
600 $1,000 gallons, or 10000 900 more thar
the average.
President Whelan ascribes the waste
to the fact that many persons lea We
their taps open during the cold weather
in order to guard against the freezing
of the pipes. h supply is low, he
declares, and unless precautions are
taken by the public the result may be
serious.
