n. homes on lands now controlled by the
is government may be provided for our
a. soldiers and sailors upon their return.
We are opposed to the so-called Sc
II cret diplomacy which has plunged the

s In meeting the great financial bur
e dens of the war we should search with
: remorseless purpose for those profits
which are peculiarly war profits and
, of those we would take by taxation at
, least so percent.
We condemn the profiteer; that is,
the attempt to take advantage of the
nation s peril to gather unreasonable
profits, and would tax such profits to
the limit wherever found.
We fully recognize the necessity of
expanding every dollar necessary to /
the complete winning of the war, but
at a time when the people are called
upon to make such great sacrifices in
the way of extra burdens imposed by
taxation we should see that every dol
lar collected by the people is properly
and wisely expended-that waste and ,
extravaganza is strictly curtailed.
The administration of the affairs of /
the state by Democratic officials has .
been marked by inefficiency and ex-
travagence, the creation of needless of :
fees, the misuse of public funds, and :
the increase of public burdens, and
merits the condemnation of our people r

able materially to assist in a solution ~.
Of the economic problems requiring =;
state control or regulation.
We especially favor the construction @
Of good roads necessary for the trans o

We further pledge our state nomi- r. r
ices in the legislature if elected, to =
mend and strengthen the laws regu- @
ating the fish and game department,
o that the people of the state will re-
Give the full benefits for which this
