the high cost of living--a condition
of life that is manifest alike in free
trade and protected nations. The

Other Laws Urged

ton of the constitutional amendment
for the creation OF new counties in
this state.

this state to the end that criminals
may be brought to more speedy trial
and punishment and that the guilty
may not escape through mere tech

enc ctment of legislation providing
adequate compensation to those vet
Grams who by their courage and de-
votion in the early building of the
state protected the lives and prop
erty during the Indian wars.
For Anti-Pass Measure In line
with legislation by Republican Con-
gress and believing that wholesome
Legislation is hampered and endanger-
ed by the system in vogue OF giving
passes to public officials, we pledge
our legislature and Governor to pass
an adequate anti-pass measure for the
correction Of this evil.
As To Rate Regulation-In accord
