citizens as are found TO be conspir-

ercising the obligations Of good Ameri.
can citizenship.
We urge the necessity of providing
by law for the satisfactory. solution Of
differences "arising between capital
and labor, such as will furnish a reli-
able basis Of settlement for both par

vital interests Of the general public.
At the same time we recognize the
fact that poorly paid, underfed and
overwOrked labor becomes a liability
to the community and that the man
who works with his hands Is entitled
to fair share OF what he produces.
Capital also must be assured of steady
and dependable service. and be al
lowed to operate without unwarranted
interruption otherwise the whole fab
ric of our Industrial system will come
apart. The only fair exchange in the
field Of American industry Is an hon

We urge the enactment Of such fed
erai legislation as will improve and
make more wholesome the field for
child labor and recommend careful
investigation on the part OF the fed

We demand an immediate curtail-
ment of governmental extrnvagances
and the waste Of public funds. and
heartily commend our senior senator.
Reed SmoOt. for his uncOmpromising
stand for an economical and efficient
administration of federal affairs. and
for his mtiring efforts to effect u
substantial reduction Of the tax bur

and more equitable apportionment
of the same.
Also we demand II speedy return Of
constitutional government, such as will
enable each coordinate branch or
agency Of the federal government to
function In Its own proper channel
without undue or unwarranted inter

another, and we demand the prompt
repeal of such extraordinary war
measures us will result In the immedi-

which we surrendered for war pur-
poses and no other.
And as to n matter of immediate
concern TO our own state, we declare

vision of our school and tax laws, such
as will make possible the payment to
public school teachers Of salaries com
