nnd the protection OF the blood and

enco and an INTERNATIONAL court under
an arrangement which VIII preserve
Intact the American constitution. her
| institutions and her national sOvcr-
eighty. and viii tend 90 promote peace
and not breed future wars.
Assails Wilson.
We condemn the one man autocptlo
administration Of Woodrow Wilson
and the extravaganza and waste ~ his
administration and we particularly
commend the action OF the republican
congress which reduced the estimates
and demands OF the Wilson adminis-
trgtlon and It's departments aud bu-
reaus by the enormous sum of S2,7i0.-
1880, saving that sum to the tax
puyers OF the country.
We commend and endorse the splen-
did, efficient and patriotic service rend-
| cred In the congress OF the United
States by Hon. A. u. Fall and Hon.
! b. G. Hernandez
| We commend the efficient and busi- |
ness-iike administration OF the affairs
| OF the state governinent by INC re-
publican state officers.
! We stand for the strictcst economy
/ in state, county and municipal govern
ment consistent with the public well
| fare and we recommend the abolition
\ OF all unnecessary public Offices we
/ commend the republican Legislature
for the steps taken In the introduce
| ton Of "A state budget and favor the
extension Of AN effective budget syH-
| tenn for the state. county and uunlci-
pal governments by such Legislation
and constitutional amendment ns may
/ be required.
Welcome Women Voters.
I We welcome tfe newly enfran-
| chlsod voters to participation In gov
crnment affairs and point with pride
10 the fact that the nineteenth
amendment 10 the constitution OF the
United States was submitted by re-
publican congress and ratified by 30
republican states out of the necessary
| 80. We approve the submission By the
| legislature to the voters of this state
| of an amendment to the constitution
gyJlnting to women the right to hold
fail public offices.
! We call attention 10 the fact that
Il was u republican state admInistra-
! ton prompted by desire to better
conditions surrounding our people
which created IA state department OF
health. n child welfare board and
| girls welfare board, and we favor the
/ Continued support of this organized
welfare effort
Realizing that tho hope OF our
| country's future itcs In the physical,
mental and moral development or our
children, we heartily recommend and
endorse state and federal legislation
looking toward the lessening OF in
FAINT mortality. the promotion OF child
welfare and the protection of ma
ternity.
Realizing that the present state law
on guardianship may permit the
working Of injustice upon the moahcr
and the child, we favor change in
the law which Will provide that the
father and mother shall bo joint and
equal guardians OF their children.
The republican party has always
insisted upon tho principle OF n pro-
tcctive tariff and the test OF half
century has proven II to be the bull
wark of our institutions and the safe
guard of the standard OF American
labor. Never in the history OF our
country has the demand for an ade-
quatc and efficient tariff system been
so pronounced. Even now European
and Asiatic ports are congcstcd with
goods made by cheap labor and
awaiting an opportunity " be
dumped upon American markets. The
republican pasty pledges itself to the
prompt enactment OF a tariff law
tnNt VIII project tne Idfmefs lne cut
tie raiser and the sheep. mohair and
wool grower from this Danger and
American labor IN all lines from the
competition OF the cheap labor o. Eu-
rope and Asia and at the same time
furnish sufficient revenue for gov
ernment purposes TO neduce ma
terlally the present enormous burden
or taxation.
For Tax Revision.
We favor system OF taxation
which will place the burden OF taxes
equally upon all. Every person and
every corporation must respond to a
iuM and equal taxation upon its
property. The Jaws must be so
framed that we will be able TO as
certain the proper tax that shall be
raid by all persons and corporations.
Realizing the difficulties met in
seeking proper solution OF this
question. Governor Larrazolo SUBJ
mllted to the Legislature the propriety
OF creating d special tax commission
I for the purpose Of studying ana ana
lysing the existing tax laws, and OF
| reporting and suggestinE a revision OF
