| reducing state expenditures and
to report by bill all reductions
which can be effected without
impairment of the public ser
vice"
We declare that two legislatures,
controlled by Democratic majorities,
made merely a sham pretense at in
vestigation and retrenchment, while
continuing all employees of all Demo-
cratic offices, boards. and commits
sions and enlarging rather than cur.
failing the appropriations in support
of the same.
1 We pledge our state and legisla-
4 tive nominees, if elected. to a nom
4 inal non partisan, thorough and hon
est investigation of every department
/ of the state government and upon
i the impartial findings thereof to eff
feet every saving to the taxpayer
! that can be made without impair
ment of the public service.
4 In this connection, we favor the
consolidation of the Railroad and
Public Utilities commissions, the Tax
commission and the Commission on
Agriculture and Irrigation under
three commissioners; and also state
SUPER NlHlOi ONtl lllt dHdiiS VI hlF
Industrial Insurance commission.
We also favor the elimination of
unnecessary employees and the gen
eral simplifcation of the machinery
of the public business of the state
and counties.
lnasmuch as a majority of public
expenditures the past four years have
been controlled by Democratic of
fcials. we invite the comparison of
the actual services rendered and
costs thereof of those controlled by
Republicans with those controlled by
Democrats, supremely confident of
the verdict Of the taxpayers and vot-
ers on such issue at the polls.
Labor.
The Republican party national and
state, has a clean record of fulfilled
promises in respect to legislation
beneficial to the interests and vel
fare of labor Its policies have sup
piled the opportunities for labor and
its laws and regulations have con
tributed to hygenic conditions, indus
trial safety. the eight hour work day
and the highest compensation to
wage earners in all vocations, 1t
! has been a consistent friend of union
lied labor supporting its every rea-
sonable and just demand. In indus
! trial strife it has fearlessly but i'm,
partially interviewed to preserve and
| uphold law and order. Ii has denied
the radical vagaries of the agitator
and extremist to give sound, encour
aging and practical support to the
overwhelming majority of stalwart
7 home-loving and loyal workmen, who
. oday constitute the majority of the
: Republican partys membership ant
the source OF its enduring vitality
. and power. We indorse the Nevada
+ industrial insurance act for the com
4 pensation of injured workmen ant
. the dependents of those killed in haz
ardous ayocations, favoring sucl
!. amendments thereto as experience,
!. may prove will increase its beneficial
|. purposes. and call attention to tn,
!. fact that its first public advocacy il

i. message of Governor eddie in 1911

IS the cost thereof fairly and eauitabl
