as important that the financial machin-
cry be provided to supply the demands
of farmers for credit as It is that the
banking and currency system be re-
formed in the interest of general BUSH
ness.
Therefore, we recommend and urge
an authoritative Investigation OF agri-

of state and federal laws for the es.
adjustment and capable supervision
of organizations having for their pur.
pose the lending of funds to farmers.
Conservation Policy.
We rejoice in the success of the dis
tinctive Republican policy of the con-
servation of our national resources for
their use by the people without waste
and without monopoly. We pledge
ourselves to a continuance OF such a
policy.
We favor such fair and reasonable
rules and regulations as will not die
courage or interfere with actual bona
fide homeseekers, prospectors and
miners in the acquisition of public
lands under existing laws.
In the interest of the general public
and particular of the agricultural or
rural communities we favor legislation
looking to the establishment, under
proper regulations, of parcels post
the postal rates to be graduated under
zone similar in proportion to the
length of carriage.
We approve the action taken by the
president and the congress to secure
with Russia, as with other countries,
treaty that will recognize the abso-
lutte right of expatriation and that
prevent all discrimination of whatever
kind between American citizens,
whether native born or allen, and re.
CARELESS of race, religion or previous
political allegiance. The right of asy.
lum is a precious possession of the
people Of the United States and 1t is
not to be surrendered nor restricted.
The Navy.
We believe In the maintenance OF
an adequate navy for the national de.
tense and we condemn the action of
the Democratic house of representa-
ives in refusing to authorize the con-
struction OF additional ships.
We believe that one Of the country's
most urgent needs is a revived mer-
chant marine. There shcv'd he Amer
lean ships, and plenty of them, 10
make use OF the great American inter
oceanic canal now nearing completion.
Mississippi River.
The Mississippi river is the nations
drainage ditch. Its flood waters, gath
cred from thirty-one states and the
dominion OF Canada, constitute an ov
empowering force which breaks over
many million acres OF the richest lanf
n the union, stopping mails, impeding
commerce and causing great loss OF
ife and property. These floods are
'ational In scope and the disasters
hey produce seriously affect the gen
raj welfare. The states unaided car
OF cope with the giant problem
'ence we believe the federal govern
rent should assume a fair proportion
