1. We demand a repeal of the unjust
Eutocratic, inquisitorial and oppressive
tax law passed by the last republican
legislature, and the enactment of a law
that does not violate our constitutional
rights and principles of local self-gov-
ernment.
, We condemn the joint resolution
of the last republican legislature, ask
ing congress to enact law making mill
tary training universal and compulsory.
g. We demand that all offices be sal
aried, and that all fees be abolished. We
condemn the oppression of the people
through the means of the prosecutor
office when such prosecutions are in
stituted simply to collect fees, and not
to vindicate the law.
4. We are in favor of discharging all
unnecessary and incompetent employees
now crowding both the courthouse and
the city hall to the great detriment OF
the public We favor rigid economy in
all departments of the public service.
5.-we denounce as criminal and inhu-
man the manner in which the present re-
publican sheriff has treated prisoners. He
has made thousands Of dollars by feeding
them rotteps diseased and insufficient
