and costly appeals which have 50 often
amounted 10 a denial Of justice in civil
cases and 10 q failure to protect the
public at large in criminal cases.
To Simplify Judicial Removal,
Since the responsibility of the u.
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 ss unnecessary and unwise, we
favor such action as may be necessary
10 simplify the process by which any
Judge who is found 10 be dereict in
his duty may be removed from office.
Together with peaceful and orderly
development at home, the Republican
party earnestly fsvors all measures for
the establishment and protection %
the peace Of the world and for the de
velopment Of closer relations between
the various nations Of the earth. II
believes most earnestly In the peace
tul settlement Of international dis
putes and in the reference Of all jus
trciable controversies between nations
70 an international court Of justice.
Amend Antitrust Law,
The Republican party is opposed to
special privilege and 10 monopoly. I'll
placed upon the statute book the in
terstate commerce act Of 1887 and the
important amendrr ents thereto and the
antitrust act Of 1890. and II has con
sistertly and successfully enforced the
- provisions Of these laws. 1T will take
no backward step 70 permit the re-
establishment IN any degree Of condi-
tons which were intolerable.
Experience makes q plain that thu
business Of the country MAY be car
ried on without fear or without dis
turbance and At the same time with
out resort 70 practices which are alb
horrent to the common sense Of JUS
tice The Republican party favors thu
enactment If legislation supplementary
70 lLe existing antitrust act which
will define as criminal cGAnces those
specific acts that uniformly mark at
tempts 10 restrain and 70 monopolize
trade, 10 the end that those who hon
estly intend 10 obey the law may have
4 guide tor their action and that those
who aim 10 Violate the law may the
more surely be punished. The same
certainty should be given % the law
prohibiting combinations and monopo-
lies that characteriZes other provisions
Of commercial law in other words, that
no part OF the field Of business oppor-
tunity may be restricted by monopoly
or combination, that business success
honorably achieved may not be con-
verted into crime and that the right OF
every man to acquire commodities, and
particularly the uecessarios Of life, in
an open market, uninhuenced by the
manipulation Of trust or combination,
may be preserved.
Federal Trade Commission.
In the enforcement and adninistrs-
ton Of federal laws governing inter
state commerce and enterprises I'M
pressed with q public use engaged
therein there Is much that may be
committed TO federal trade commits
sion, thus placing in the hands Of an
administrative board many Of the
functions now necessarily exercised b.
the courts This will promote prompt
ness in the administration If the law
and avoid delays and technicalities in
cident 10 court procedure.
The Tariff,
We reaairm our belief in a protective
tariff. The Republican tariff policy
has been Of the greatest benefit to the
country, developing our resources, di-
versifying our industries and protect.
ing our woykmen against competition
with cheaper labor abroad, thus estab-
fishing for our wage caruers the Amer
lean standard OF living, The pro.
tective tariff is so woven into the fab
RE Of our Industrial and agricultural
tf- that u substitute for it o. tariff
for revenue only would destroy many
industries aud throw millions Of our
people out az employment The prod
ucts If the farm and Of the mine
should receive the same measure Of
protection se other products Of Ameri-
can labor
ReaJlustment Without injury
We hold that the import duties
should be high enough while Yielding
a aYficicnt revenue 20 protect ade
auately American industries 9nd
wages some Of the existing import
duties are too high ana should be- re-
duced Readjustment should be made
from ime to time to conform 10 chang
ing conditions and to reduce exces-
sive rates, but without injury 20 any
American Industry. To accomplish
this correct information is indispen-
sable This information can best be
obtained by IN expert commission, as
the large volume Of useful facts con-
tanned in the recent reports Of the
Tariff Board has demonstrated
Justification Of Tariff Board
The pronounced feature Of modern
industrial life is its enormous diversi- |
hcation 70 apply tariff rates justly
to these changing conditions requires
closer study ana more scientific meth

Tariff Board its recognition of this stu
