Progressive Party Platform
Adopted by State Convention, July 20, 1912,
Following is the platform of the pro-

Following Is the platform of the pro-
gressive party in Montana.
With the fullest confidence N the
rcctitudc of our cause and the cer-
tainty that It's principles will triumph,
willing at all times to submit direct
to the people our every claim for rec
ognltion and support and to abide by
the decision of the electorate without
dissent we herewith make the fol-
lowing declaration OF principles of the
new progressive party of the state of
Montana, and invite all citizens who
are In sympathy with the same to
withdraw from previous party affila-
tions and unite with us in the re-
demption of Montana from heretofore
existing intolerabe political condi-
tions.
The constant effort Of crooked busi-
ness In unholy alliance with crooked
bosses to usurp the powers of govern
ment, through control of party ma
chinery, constitutes the greatest men
ace to real popular rule.
To Throw OF the Yoke.
Therefore, we declare as the first
the necessity of the enactment of the
following laws: .u.
Direct primary, direct election OF
United states senator's. presidential
preference primary and corrupt prac-
tees acts, which arc now definitely
before the people of Montana through
resort to the initiative and referendum
law, to be voted upon at the coming
fall election.
We declare ourselves as bein un
alterably In favor of a complete re-
form of taxation laws and methods In
Montana, to the end that there shall
be fair and equal assessment of all
classes of property. We believe that
under present conditions the railroads,
the Amalgamated Copper company
and other corporations are avoiding
the payment of their just proportion
of tile taxes, and we pledge ourselves.
II placed in power by the votes of the
people to correct this condition by re-
auiring an exact physcal valuation of
property, with a fair adjustment Of
rates and taxation based thereon.
Equal assessment will at the same
time operate to reduce the ratio OF
assessment of those citizens who, ut
present, pay taxes on the basis of fair
valuations.
We favor the amendment OF the
state constitution so as to leave 10
the legislature the power to determine
the method of assessing the mines
and railroads of the state.
Declaration.
Resolution 2.-We also unhestating-
ly declare for the following: The in
itiative, referendum and recall, under
proper restriction and a judicial ref
erendum on constitutional questions.
Properly graduated income and In
heritance tax laws.
The abolishment of the existing in
equality and injustice Of double taxa
tion, as excmplified by the taxation of
the property itself and the mortgage
thereon.
The arbitration of all disputes aris-
ing between employers and employees
where the rights Of the public are In
volxcd.
The prohibition of child labor.
An employers liability act
The requirement of sanitary condi-
tions in mines, mills and factories.

tions to properly regulate their aetivi-
ties.

Dixon.
We commend the public services OF
the Honorable Joseph NJ, Dixon, our
present senior United States senator
from Montana, especially recognizing
the bitter fight now being made upon
him by the Amagamated Copper COM
pany and other corporation interests,
which fact In itself Is sufficient to
commend him TO the people of the
state and nation. The excellence of
his public service and the cause OF
corporate hostility toward him are
simultaneously shown and explained by
his efforts on behalf of the long-aud-
short haul clause of the interstate
commerce act. His consistent course
of action in union with the progressive
members of the United States senate
and his manly fight on Canadian reci-
procity us attempted by the unfair
plan recently proposed. are entitled to
the highest commentator, and we be-
lieye II to be to the best interests OF
the state of Montana and the country
at large that he be returned to the
United States senate next March.
Roosevelt.
While we believe the progressive
party movement Is greater In principle
and scope than .he activities of any
one man, we nevertheless maintain
that because of his splendid conra ge,
clear convictions and indomitable will,
Theodore Roosevelt Is the logical lead
or of the progressive party. and we
therefore pledge him our loyal support
for nomination and election TO the
presidency of the United States.

Note at the end of rs years
your deposits will amount to
$500, but with interest at 4 per
cent, compounded semi-annually,
the amount to your credit at that
time will be $2566.64. How many
boys spend foolishly, needlessly
and oftentimes for something that
is worse than useless, $500 per
month? Think it over and see if
you cannot bring yourself to be-
lieve that you will enjoy saving
better than spending and thereby
become a capitalist.
1t is absolutely safe to send your
money by mail to the Hyde Park
Savings Bank, either by postal or
express money order, personal or
bank check, express or registered
letter. In the nearly "A years of
its existence not a dollar sent by
mail to this bank has been lost.
Remember too, that during its
entire existence this bank has
never lost a dollar by a poor note
and does not, in the judgment of
its directors, today own a single
dollar of poor or doubtful assets.
Its managers are thoroughly con-
sentative bankers, men who never
speculate, never deal with Wall
Street, and the bank does not own
dollar of paper paying more than
six per cent interest. Safety, rath-
er than the higher rates of interest
obtainable in far-away places, is
the universal rule of this bank.
