/! Use must not destroy the equally sac
ed right of the individual in his
lecessary pursuit of livelihood Any
american has the right to quit his
employment, SO has every American
he right to seek employment. The
;roup must not endanger the indiyidu.
u, and we must discourage groups
,reying upon one another and none
'hall be allowed to forget that the
governments obligations are alike to
Ill the people.
We are SO confident that much OF
he present day insufficiency and in.
efficiency Of transportation are due
o the withering hand of government
ownership that we want to expedite
he reparation and make sure the
mistake is not repeated. A state of
inadequate transportation facilities
mainly chargeable to the failure of
governmental experiment is losing
Millions to agriculture, it Is hindering
industry, 1t is menacing the American
people with fuel shortage little less
:han peril 1t emphasizes the pres
| .nt-day problem and suggests that
spirit Of encouragement and assistance
which commits all America to relieve
such an emergency.
Gross expansion OF currency and
/ credit have deprecated the dollar just
rs expension and initiation have dis
| credited the coins Of the world. We
inflated in haste, we must deflate in
| aeliberation. We debased the dollar
| in reckless finance, we must restore
in honesty. In all sincerity we prom
| ise the prevention of unreasonable
profits, we challenge profiteering with
all the moral force and the legal
powers of government and people but
/ it is fair, aye, 1t is timely to give
/ reminder that law Is not the sole
| corrective of our economi4 ills. Let
us call to all the people for thrift
and economy, for denial and sacrifice
/ il need be for nationwide drive
against extravaganza and luxury to
a recommittal to simplicity OF living,
| to that prudent and normal plan of
| life which is the health of the republic.
| New conditions, which attend amazing
| growth and extraordinary industrial
development call for new and for
| ward looking program. The American
| farmer had a hundred and twenty
millions to feed in the home market
and heard the cry OF the world for
| food and answered it, though he faced
an appalling task hid handicaps
never encountered before. Contem
plating the defenselessness of the In
| dividual farmer to meet the organized
| buyers of his products and the dis
| tributors of the things the farmer
| buys, ! hold that farmers should mol
only be permitted but encouraged te
| join in cooperative association to
reap the just measure OF reward
merited by their arduous toll Oul
! platform is an earnest pledge of re-
| newed concern for this most essen
tial and elemental industry and In
both appreciation and interest we
pledge effective expression in law and
practice. We will hail that coopera
tion which again will make profitable
| and desirable the ownership and op
Grafton Of comparatively small farms
fntensively cultivated, and which viii,
facilitate the caring Of the products
| OF farm and orchard without the la
mentable waste under present condi
tions.
America would look with anxiety
on the discouragement of farming
activity either through the govern
ment's neglect or its paralysis by SO
cialistic practices. A Republican ad
ministration will be committed to re
new regard for agriculture, and seek
the participation OF farmers In cur
ing the Ills Justly complained at. and
aim to place the American farm where
1t ought to he. highly ranked in Ameri
can activities and fully sharing the
highest good fortunes Of American
life.
"Becomingly associated with this
subject are the policies OF irrigation
and reclamation, SO essential to agri
cultural expansion, and the continued
development OF the great and wonder
full west. 1t is our purpose to con
tinue and enlarge federal aid. not In
sectional partiality. but for the good
OF all America. / believe the budget
system will effect necessary, help
full reformation and reveal business
methods to government business.
Il believe the federal departments
should be made more business like
and send back to productive effort
thousands of federal employees, who
are either duplicating work or no,
essential at all.
II believe in the protective tariff
policy and know we will be calling
| for its saving Americanism again.
II believe in great merchant
marine. would have this republic
leading the maritime nations OF the
world
Il believe In q navy ample to protect
| it and be able to assure us dependable
defense.
