Constructive Roads Policy

The Republican party stands for a
constructive policy in the matter OF
good roads, which the rapid growth
OF interstate and ~interurban ON
merce renders imperative. The great
~ increased popularity of the auto
mobile calls for a greater effort ma
tionsl and state. to improve road
transportation facilities, in all sec
tons Of the country. notably the
West. where large public lands sug-
gest tremendous possibilities Of fu-
ture expansion. We believe in the
preservation and ~developmcnt of cur
great natural resources, and favor a
farsiyited policy of appropriations
for the building OF national forest
roads.-E. j. S. jr.

Paternalism IL Denounced

The Republican party denounces
the policy of p~aternalism in all its
phases; inuorses private ownership
Of the railroads and other public
utllt1es; and favors government reg
ulation only so far as this is neces-
sary to safeguard the interests of
the people.-Mabel f. Yeomans, Cor
nell University.

Abolish War Powers

We regard the tendency of tbs
present Administration to retain war
powers IN the executive departments,
when peace virtually exists. as wholly
obnoxious and un-American. And
we pledge ourselves to Immediately
restore the status quo ante bellum
in this respect.-c. II. r., Trout
Vile, Va.

Federal School Control

In p nation OF popular government
it, schools furnish the very susie
nance of its national life. It's cdu-
cational system is the fountain-head
of ali patriotic and progressive
thought. The educational system OF
the United States, being Of such vital
national concern, should derive its
powers of control from a Federal
Board of Education. Such control

The Republican party indorses the
action Of its members in the United
States Senate in voting for the rati-
tcatlon Of the peace treaty only after
the adoption of reservations safe

Fair Deal for Middle Cla..

Monopoly and privilege of special
Interests must not be tolerated. This
applies to all sections of society. The
autocracy of labor is as ~undemocratic
as the autocracy of capital. We be-
lieve in a square deal for both. Nor
must the middle class continue to
suffer. This is the helpless class. be-
cause it is the only class which is
unorganized. The Republican party
pledges itself to see that the full

contains the very properties so vitality
needed to improve tn eblood. Pep

the body.

preparations for the continuance of
