The following resolutions were
adopted:
LIST. Whereas it is the general opin
ion among our members that the
state immigration Commission has
not in the past secured results COM
;nensurate with the amount of mon
ey expended by it.;
Therefore, be it resolved that we
oppose any state appropriation of
funds for the maintenance of this Of
flee for the next two years, but in
lieu thereof that a similar appropria-
ton for carrying on an experiment
by the State in Dairy stock, provid-
ed suitable safeguards be provided
in carrying on the work.
End. Whereas, the grange has al
ways advocated the teaching of Ag-
riculture, Domestic Science and Man
ual Training in the public schools,
and especially as exemplified in the
Community School at Washoe, Ida
no, which is the first of it's kind in
the northwest and especially in Ida
no.
Therefore, be it resolved, That we
recommend a state and federal aid
for the establishment and mainte-
nance of such schools within the
state wherever conditions and pub
lie sentiment favor such.
3rd. Whereas, The term ranch as
applied to the farm homes of Idaho,
and other sections of the west, has
ong since become obsolete and a
title,
Therefore, Be it resolved by this |
Pomona Grange here assembled that
We disapproye of the use of the
ERIN as used in the telephone direc-
cries and other publications, and
hat the word farm be substituted
herefor, and further that we use all
means in our power to cultivate pub
ic sentiment to this end.
4th. Also, Be it resolved that we
make a determined effort to prevent
he sale of State lands in Idaho,
ut we suggest that same be retain
d and leased. The proceeds there
rom to be used for the administra-
on of our state government.
5th. Whereas. The question of a
'ederal appropriation for public
pads is now being discussed by our
Tational Congress, Be it resolved, {
nat we favor a Federal appropriation 9
1r the construction and maintenance
public roads, the same to be ex- {
ended first, on post roads and later 7
n all public highways. We recon- a
lend that this federal aid be ex- +
ended in conjunction with similar
preparations by the State and the d
ork be done under the supervision f
qualified road engineer, who r
lall be under the Joint jurisdiction 7
both State and National govern r.
