wealth and national resources.
Endorse BOrah
We heartily endorse and commend
the patriotic stand taken by Senator
w. II. Borah in his opposition to the
so-called League Of Nations" His
great fight for the preservation Of
American ideals has made every good
citizen his debtor.
We heartily endorse our representa-
tives In congress- Addison T. Smith
and Burton i. French, and pledge to
them our unqualified support
We commend the people Of the state
Of Idaho IN the business like admins
tration that the republican party has
given the state of Idaho during the
past two years and invite a compari-
son with the political inefficient adj
ministration of the two previous years
We commend and endorse the cabi-
net form of state government adopted
by republican legislature substitute
ed for a hopelessly inefficient system
swathed In endless red tape, this Idaho
governmental scheme has vastly ex-
pedited state affairs and has made
state officials definitely responsible.
We further favor the state of Idaho
adopting budget system Of finances
for all departments.
We recommend the favorable consid-
GRAFTON of the voters of the state to
the proposal of constitutional amend
ment increasing the number Of Justices
Of the supreme court from three to five
so that justice may be expeditiously
administered.
We believe that the administration
of Justice ought to be as speedy AS
possible and at the same time as eco
nomical to both the litigant and the
state, and that the most humble cred
ltor should be afforded a means and
opportunity Of obtaining speedy legal
redress for his grievances. We there
fore favor the creation of small cred
itors courts to be summarily admin
istered.
Farm Legislation
We endorse and commend the move
ment of the American Federation of
Farm Bureaus looking to the solving
of the farmers economical problems
and recommend such legislation, as
may be suggested by farmers organ
ization to be appointed by the governor
tending toward the working out. of
farmers problems, such legislation not
to be in the form Of class legislation
but based upon sound economical prins
cirles. We favor assistance to the
farmers in the vital matter of market
ing their crops at equitable prices.
This should manifest itself In the ex-
tension of our system of good reads,
and lending efficient assistance to the
formation of effective cooperative
marketing organizations.
We approve liberal federal aid in the
construction of highways within the
several states. and we urgently recon-
mend that our senator's and representa-
tives i'm congress secure the early pas
sage of measures including these prin-
ciples and appropriations in what is
called the Chamberlain bill and other
legislation designed to secure more
equitable distribution of federal funds
for public work in the public land
states.
The federal government has provided
and is concentrating survey of the
Columbia and Snake rivers from Cello
to Lewiston and from Lewiston to
Huntington. Ore, with the end in view
of the canalization of said streams for
the purpose of the development of
power, the promotion of navigation and
the reclamation of land, and we, as re-
publicans of Idaho. hereby heartily en-
dorse said project
We urge the passage of national and
state "Truth-in-F Fabric" legislation that
will protect the consuming public
against INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers
who are selling clothes and fabric of
shoddy. at unreasonable prices, as fab
rio made of virgin wool.
Child Labor
We endorse the prohibition Of child
labor; adequate appropriation for the
children's bureau; federal legislation
permitting an American born woman
to retain her citizenship while resi-
dent In the United States although
married to an alien and that an alien
woman who marries an American citi-
zen must take the obligation of citizen
ship before she can become citizen :
appropriation by congress to carry on
campaign against vcnereal diseases
and for public education In sex hygiene
and for federal aid for the removal of
illiteracy ana the increase Of teachers
salaries.
We heartily endorse the reclamation
plank embodied in the platform of the
