people themselves, the government
OF the United States will meet the
problems in the future as satisfac-
torily as it has solved those of the
past.
The republican party is now, as
always, party of advanced and con-
structive statesmanship. 1t is to go
forward with the solution of those
new questions which social, economic
and political development have
brought into the forefront of the ma
tion'S interest. 1t will strive. not
only in the nation but in the several
states, to enact the necessary legis-
lation to safeguard the public health;
to limit effectively the labor of wom-
en- and children; to protect wage
earners engaged in dangerous occu-
pations; to enact comprehensive and
generous workmen's compensation
laws in place of the present wasteful
and unjust system of employers liza
bility; and in all possible ways to
satisfy the just demands of the peo-
pie for the study and solution of the
complex and constantly changing
problems of social welfare.
In dealing with the questions it is
important that the rights of every
individual to the freest possible de-
velopment of his own powers and re-
sources and to the control of his own
justly acquired property, so far as
those are compatible with the rights
of others, shall not be interfered with
or destroyed.
The social and political structure
of the United States rests on the civi
liberty of the individual: and for the
protection of that liberty the people
have wisely, in the national and state
constitutions, put definite limitations
on themselves, on their governmental
officers and agencies. To enforce
these limitations, to secure the or
derly and coherent exercise of gov
ernmental power and to protect The
rights of even the humblest and leas
favored individual are the function
of Independent courts of justice.
The republican party reaffirms it
intention to uphold at all times th
? authority and integrity of the courts
both state and federal, and 1t vii
, ever insist that their powers to Ell
; force their process and to protect life
! liberty and property shall be pre-
, served inviolate. An orderly metho
, is provided under our system of gov
ernment by which the people may
when they choose. alter or amend tn
constitutional provisions which III
> derlie that government. Until thes
constitutional provisions are so a
/, tered or amended, in orderly fashion
: it is the duty of the courts to Sc
to it that when challenged they ar

e state, may bear the heavy burden

laid upon them to the complete sat
1sfaction of public opinion, We favor
legislation to prevent long delays and
the tedious and costly appeals which
have so often amounted to denial of
justice in civil cases and to a failure
to protect the public at large in Grim
ina cases.
Since the responsibility of the ju-
dietary is so great, the standards of
judicial action must be always and
everywhere above suspicion and re-
proach. While we regard the recall
of judges as unnecessary and unwise,
we favor such action as may be nee
essary to simplify the process by
which any judge who is found to be
derelict in his duty may be removed
from office.
Together with peaceful and order
ly development at home, the republi-
can party earnestly favors all meas
ures for the establishment and pro-
lection of the peace of the world and
for the development of closer rela-
tions between the various nations of
the earth. 1t believes most earnestly
in the peaceful settlement of inter
national disputes and in the reference
of all justiceable controversies be-
tween nations to an international
court of justice.
Monopoly and Privilege.
The republican party is opposed to
| special privilege and to monopoly. 1t
| placed upon the statute books the in
| terstate commerce act of 1897, and
the important amendments thereto,
and the antitrust act of 1890. and
it has consistently and successfully
enforced the provisions of these laws.
1t will take no backward step to per-
nit the re-establishment in any de-
gree of conditions which were intol-
cradle.
Experience makes it plain that the
business of the country may be car
ried on without fear or without dis
turbance and at the same time with
out resort to practices which are alb
horrent to the common sense of JUS
tice. The republican party favors the
enactment of legislation supplemen-
tary to the existing antitrust act
which will define as criminal offenses
those specific acts that uniformly
mark attempts to restran and to mo-
nopolize trade, to the end that those
who honestly intend to obey the law
may have guide for their action and
! that those who aim to violate the law
may the more surely be punished
The same certainty should be giver
to the law prohibiting combinations
and monopolies that characterize
other provisions of criminal laws. In
order that no part of the field o.
business opportunity may be restrict
: ed by monopoly or combination
that business success honorably
J achieved may not be converted into
= crime and that the right of ever,
? man to acquire commodities, and mar
= ticularly the necessities of life, in ar
, open market, uninfluenced by the
? manipulation of trust or combination

PLATFORM ADOPTED BY CHICAGO CONVENTION
Full Text OF Taft Pledges Parcels Post Tariff Monopoly and
Privilege and immigration Given Due Attention

Following is the national republi-
can platform:
The republican party assembled
by its representatives. in national
convention, declares its unchanging
faith in government of the people,
by the people. for the peoplpe. We
renew our allegiance to the principles
OF the republican party and our de-
Votlon to the cause of republican in
sttutions established by our fathers.
1t is appropriate that we. should
now recall with a sense of veneration
and gratitude the name OF our first
great leader, who was nominated in
this city and whose lofty principles
and superb devotion to his country
are an inspiration to the party he
honored-Abraham Lincoln. In the
present state of public Affairs we
should be inspired by his broad
statemanship and by his tolerant
spirit toward men.
The republican party looks back
on its record with pride and salts
faction and forward to it's new re-
sponsibilitieS with hope and conf
dence. Its achievements in govern
ment constitute the most luminous
pages in our history. Our greatest
national advance has been made dur
ing the years of its ascendency in
public affairs IL has been genuinely
and always n party of progress; 1t
has never been either stationary or
reactionary 1t has gone from the
fulfillment of one great pledge to the
fuliillment of another In response to
the public need and to the popular
will.
We believe in our self-controlled
representative democracy, which is a
government of laws, not of men, and
IN which order is the prerequisite OF
progress.
The principles of constitutional
government which make provision
for orderly and effective expression
OF the popular will, for the protec.
tion of civil liberty and the rights oI
men and Interpretation of the lay by
an untrammeled and independent ju
dietary have proved themselves ca
pable OF sustaining the structure o
a government which. after more thai
a century of development, embraces
1O0,OOO,O00 of people, scattered owe
wide and diverse territory. bu
bound by common purpose, common
ideals and common affection to tn

Under the constitution and the prin
ciples asserted and vitalized by IL

ing powers of the earth. 1t offer

state commerce and enterprise i'm
pressed with public use engaged
therein, there is much that may be
committed to the federal trade com
mission, thus placing in the hands of
an administrative board many of the
! functions now necessarily exercised
by the courts.
This will promote promptness in
the administration of the law and
avoid delays and technicalities Incl
dent to court procedure.
The Tariff.
We reaffirm our belief in a pro-
tective tariff. The republican tariff
policy has been of the greatest bene-
fit to the country, developing our re-
| sources, diversifying our industries
and protecting our workmen against
competition with cheaper labor
abroad, thus establishing for our
wage earners the American standard
of living. The protective tariff is so
woven into the fabric of our indus
trialism and agricultural life that to
substitute for it a tariff for revenue
only would destroy many industries
anu Univ" vi Jul DCODl6 OuJ
| of employment. The products of the
farm and the mines should receive
the same measure of protection as
other products of American labor.
We hold that the import duties
should be high enough, while yielding
| a sufficient revenue, to protect ade-
quately American industries and
! wages. Some of the existing import
duties are too high and should be
reduced.
Readjustments should be made
| from time to time to conform to
changed conditions and to reduce ex-
cessive rates, but without injury to
! American industry. To accomplish
| this, correct information is indis-
pensable. This information can best
be obtained by an expert commission,
as the large volume of useful facts
contained in the recent report of the
tariff board has demonstrated.
The pronounced feature of modern
Industrial life is its enormous diversi-
fication. To apply rates justly to
these changing conditions requires
closer study and more scientific
methods than ever before The re-
publican party has shown by its crea-
tion of the tariff board its recogni-
tion of this situation, and its deter
mination to be equal to it, We con-
demn the democratic party for it's
failure either to provide funds for the
continuation of this board, or to
make some other provision for secur-
ing the information requisite for in
telligent legislation. We protest
against the democratic method of leg
islating on these vitally important
subjects without careful investiga-
tion.
We condemn the democratic tariff
bills passed by the house of repre-
sentatives of the sixty-second con-
gress as sectional, as injurious to the
public credit and as destroying busi-
ness enterprises.
Cost of Living.
The steadily increased cost of liv-
ing has become a matter not only of
national but of worldwide concern.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1912-07-08

The fact that it is not due to the
protective tariff system is evidenced
| by the existence of similar conditions
in countries which has tariff policy
different from our own, as we'll as bv
the fact that the cost of living has
increased while rates of duty have re-
mained stationary or been reduced.
The republican party Will support
a prompt scientific inquiry into the
causes which are operative both in
the United States and elsewhere to
! increase the cost of living. When
| the exact facts are known it will take
the necessary steps to remove any
abuses that may be found to exist, in
order that the cost of food, clothing
and shelter of the people may in no
way be unduly or artificially in
| creased
Banking and Currency.
/ The republican party has always
| stood for sound currency and for
safe banking methods. 1t is respon-
sible for the resumption of specie
payments and for the establishment
of the gold standard. 1t is commit
ted to the progressive development
of our banking and currency system.
Our banking arrangements today
! need further revision to meet the re-
quirements of current conditions.
We need rceas" es which will pre-
vent the recu. re of money panics
| and financial disturbances and which
will promote the prosperity of busi-
ness and the welfare of the laboring
people by producing constant employ
ment.
We need better currency facilities
| for the movement of crops in the
west and south We need banking
! arrangements under American aus
| pices for the encouragement and bet
ter conduct of our foreign trade. In
attempting these ends, the indepen-
dence of individual banks, whether
organized under national or state
charters, must be carefully protected,
and our banking and currency system
must be safeguarded from any posi-
bility of exploitation by sectional,
financial or political interests.
1t is of great imp rtance to the
socal and economic welfare of this
country that it's farmers have facili-
ties for borrowing easily and cheaply
the money they need to increase the
productivity of their land. 1t is as
important that financial machinery
be provided to supply the demands
of farmers for credit as it is that
the banking and currency systems be
reformed in the interest of general
business.
Therefore, we recommend and
urge an authoritative investigation
of agricultural credit societies and
corporations in other countries, and
the passage of state and federal laws
for the establishment and capable su-
pervision of organizations having for
their purpose loaning of funds to
farmers.
The Civil Service.
We reaffirm our adherence to the
principle of appointment of public
office based on proved fitness, and
tenure during good behavior and eff
ficiency. The republican party stands
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1912-07-08

committed to the maintenance, extern
sion and enforcement of the civil ser
vice law, and it favors the passage of
legislation empowering the president
to extend the competitive service so
far as practicable. We favor legisla-
tion to make possible the equitable
retirement of disabled and superan-
nuated members of the civil service,
in order that a higher standard of
efficiency be maintained.
We favor the amendment of the
federal employees liability law so as
to extend its provision to all govern
ment employees as well as to provide
more liberal scale of compensation
for injury and death.
Campaign Contributions.
We favor such additional legisIa-
tion as may be necessary more effect
! ually to prohibit corporations from
contributing funds, directly or indi-
rectly, to campaigns for the nomina-
tion or election of the president the
Vlce-president, senator's and represen-
tatives in congress-
We heartily approve the act of con-
gress requiring. the fullest publicity.
In regard to all campaign contribu-
tlons, whether made in connection
with primaries, conventions or cleo
tions.
Conservation Policy.
we rejoice in the success of this
distinctive republican policy of the
conservation of our national re-
sources, for their use by the DeoDIe
without waste and without monopolv
We pledge ourselves to a continuance
of such a policy.
we favor such fair and reasonable
rules and regulations as will not dis

Parcels Post.
In the interest of the general public
and particularly of the agricultural
or rural communities, we favor legis-
latlon looking to the establishment
unuer proper regulations, of parcels
post the postal rates to be graduated
under zone similar in proportion to
the length of carriage.
frotection of American Citizenship.
We approve the action taken by
the president and the congress to Sc
cure with Russia, as with other coun-
lrles, a treaty that will recognize the
absolute right of expatriation and
that Will prevent all discrimination of
Whatever kind between American cit
izens' whether native born or alien.

lehse and we condemn the action of
