"We congratulate the present Re-
publican Congress upon the passage
of the Constitutional Amendment
granting suffrage to women, and we
point with special pride to the fact
that of the thirty-five states ratify-
ing the amendment, twenty-nine are
Republican states. We further urge
upon all states where ratification has
not been taken the immediate ratifi
cation of the amendment.
"We congratulate the Republican
majority in the Senate and House
of Representatives upon their work
in scaling down-more than 2,700,
O00-the estimate of expen-
ditures made by the Democratic adj
ministration for the period from
March 4, 1919, to June 80, 1921, and
we urge the strictest economy in gov
ernmental activities.
"We urge the Federal Reserve
Board toi put into immediate effect,
thru the banks of the country, pol
icy of rediscounting wheat paper
when offered by the producer of wheat
to the end that the wheat farmers of
the United States may receive the
benefit quarter by quarter of the
economic value of this great com
modify, and to the further end that
sales may not be forced at times that
are unfavorable to the producer.
''We urge the passage of national
'Truth-inFa Fabric' legislation that will
protect the consuming public against
unscruplOus manufacturers who are
selling clothing and fabrics made Of
shoddy at unreasonable prices as fab
RIGS made of virgin wool.
De recognize the unfailing loyalty
of the American soldiers during the
World War. We applaud their valor
and rejoicein their triumphs, and as /
measure of our desire to have /
small part in the sacrifice that they
have made, we urge upon the Con- /
gress of the United States, the ut
most consideration in the caring for
the MANNED and those who are brok-
en- in health thru war vicissitudes and
the equalizing of economic conditions
as between men who served in the
uniform Of our country and their fell
lows who found employment in civil
life. Preference rights should be
given these men on all new govern
ment irrigation projects and in all
Cary Act Projects in the State of
Idaho.

Government and we oppose the tax |

rated sections of the state in order to
