The Rathdrum tribune. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1903-1963, 1920-07-30


ject are the policies of irrigation AID
reclamation, so essential to agricul1
tural expansion, and the continued de-
velopment of the great and wonderful
West. @It is our purpose to continue
and enlarge federal aid and not in sec
tional partially, but for the good of all
America.
Budget System Favored.
believe the budget system will eff
feet a necessary helpful reformation,
and reveal business methods to govern
ment business. l believe federal de-
partments should be made more bust
ness like and send back to productive
effort thousands of federal employees,
who are either duplicating work or
not essential at all.
believe in the protective tariff pol
lev and know VIC will be calling for
its saving Americanism again.
/ believe in a great merchant marine.
! would have this republic the leading
maritime nation of the world. | be-
lieve in navy ample to protect it and
able to assure us dependable defense.
| believe in a small army, but the best
in the world, with a mindfulness for
preparedness which will avoid the I'M
utterable cost of our previous neglect
! believe in our eminence in trade
abroad, which the government should
aid in expanding, both in revealing
markets and speeding cargoes. | be-
lieve in establishing standards for i'm
migration, which are concerned with
the future citizenship of the republic,
not with mere manpower in industry
] believe that every man who dons the
garb of American citizenship and
walks in the light of American oppor-
tunity, must become American in heart
and soul.
believe in holding fast to every for
ward step in unshackling child labor
and elevating conditions of woman's
employment. / believe the federal gov
eminent should stamp out lynching
and remove the stain from the face of
America / believe the federal gov
eminent should give it's effective aid
in solving the problem of ample and
becoming housing of its citizenship.
Government Should Protect Bonds.
believe this government should
make it's liberty and victory bonds
worth all that it's patriotic citizens
paid in purchasing them. | believe
the tax burden imposed for war emer-
gency must be revised to the needs of
peace and in the interest of equity in
distribution of the burden.
/ believe the negro citizens Of Amer
lea should be guaranteed the enjoy
ment of all their rights, that they have
earned the full measure of citizenship
bestowed, that their sacrifices in blood
en- the battlefields of the republic have
entitled them to all of freedom and
| opportunity, all of sympathy and aid
that the American spirit of fairness
and justice demands. l believe there
is an easy and open path to righteous
relationship with Mexico. 1t has seem
! ed to me that our undeveloped and
uncertain and infirm policy has made
us culpable party to the government
al misfortunes in that land. Our re-
lations ought to be both friendly and
claim a stable government there and
offer neighborly hand in pointing out
the way to greater progress. | be-
lieve in law enforcement. If elected
mean to be constitutional president
and it is impossible to ignore the con
stitutioa, unthinkable to evade the
| law. when our every commital is tc
| orderly government.
The four million defenders on lane
and sea were worthy of the best tradi
tions of a people never warlike il
| peace and never pacifist in war They
commanded our pride, They have oul
gratitude which must have genuine eX
preston 1t is not only a duty, it i!
privilege to see that the sacrifices
made shall be requitted and that thos,
still suffering from casualties and dis
abilities shall be abundantly aided ant
restored to the highest capabilities O
citizenship and its enjoyment.
American Womanhood Praised.
The womanhood CT America, Away
its glory, it's inspiration and the poten
uplifting force in its social and spirit
ual development, is about to be en-
franchised Insofar as congress cal
go the fact is already accomplished
