nonpartisan commission.
Budget
In the interest of economy and good
administration we favor the creation
Of a federal budget system that will
function in accord with the principles
Of the constitution. The reform should
reach both the executive and legisla-
tive aspects Of the question. The
supervision and preparation of the
budget should be vested in the Secre-
tary of the Treasury as the represen-
tatiye Of the president. The budget,
as such, should not be increased by
the congress except by a two-thirds
vote, each house, however, being free
to exercise its constitutional privileges
of making appropriations through in
dependent bills. The appropriation
bills should be considered by single
committees of the house and senate.
The audit system should be consoli-
dated and its powers expanded so as
To pass upon the wisdom Of. as well as
the authority for expenditures.
Invalidated by Defects
A budget bill was passed in the clos.
ing days Of the second session Of the
66th congress, which inyalidated by
plain constitutional defects and a veto
became necessary.
The Republicans appealed to the
farms for support and in the mean
while the Republican leaders at
Washington have failed utterly to pro
pose one single measure to make
rural life more tolerable They have
signalized their IS months of con,
gressional power by Urging schemes
which would strip the farms of labor;
by assailing the principles of the farm
loan system and seeking to impair
its efficiency; by covertly attempting
to destroy the great nitrogen plant at
Muscle Shoals. upon which the gov
ernment has expended $75OO0,O 900 TO
supply American farmers with fer
tiizers at a reasonable cost.
We favor such legislation as will
conform to the primary producers
OF the nation the right of collective
and the right OF co-operat-
i've handling and marketing of the
products of the workshop and the
farm and such legislation as will IA
ciitate the expectation of our farm
products.
We favor comprehensive studies of
farm production costs and the uncen-
surel publication Of facts found in
such studies.
Labor and Industry
The Democratic party is now, as
ever, the firm friend Of honest labor.
1t established the Department of Labor
at Washington and democratic pres
ident called to his official council
board the first practical workingman
who ever held caminet portfolio
Bring Men and Job Together
Under this administration have been
established employment bureaus 20
bring the man and the job together;
have been peaceably determined any
bitter disputes between capital and
labor; We're passed the child labor act,
the Workingmen's Compensation Act,
the extension of which we advocate
so as TO include laborers engaged in
loading and unloading ships and in
Interstate commerce., central training
and a code of other wholesome laws
the liberties and bettering the
conditions of the laboring classes
Republicans Destroy Women's Bureau
In the department of labor the Dem.
ocratic administration established a
bureau which "a Republican
destroyed by Withholding
appropriations.
Labor is not a commodity: it is |
human; and laws regulating hours OF
labor and conditions under which labor
is performed. when passed in recog-
milton Of the conditions under when
life must be lived to attain the highest /
development and happiness, are JUS, |
