A
must be lightened, and we pledge our
faith to the people OF Idaho that we
will construct only such roads as are
imperatively needed at lowest possible
cost.
STATE GOVERNMENT.
We congratulate the people OF the
state OF Idaho upon the clean, busl-
nesslike admi nistration the Republi-'
can party has gwen the state during
the past four years, and we invite
comparison with the political and
inefficient governmen Of the previous
Democratic administrator.
| We approve the principle OF
Capitalization embodied 10 Idaho's
present form Of government, and urge
that further Capitalization aud I'M
provement, making vet further reduc-
tions 10 expense and number OF
emplyes be made.
In the great world war our soldiers
and sailors and service women gained
imperishable glory. Idaho takes q
special pride 10 the splendid part
played by her own sons, and daugh .
ters. The Republican party gives
assurance that its representatives in
congress will support legislation TO
eliminate the red tape complexities
which needlessly impede and delay
the approval OF just claims and the
prompt payment OF allowances.
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.
We reat1irm our allegiance to and
our faith 10 the public school system
OF the state, as we'll as our other edu-
cational institutions, but we believe
the stress OF present circumstances
demands a sImpification Of the
courses taught and demands made
upon public educational insttatlons
at the public expense, to the end that
only useful and necessary courses may
be had thereat.
PRIMARY.
We declare that the Republican
party in Idaho favors the convention
system for the nomination OF national
congressional and state candidates,
and that we favor the continuance OF
the existing county primary law, with
amendment thereto providing for the
voters, when registered, to declare
their party affiliatiop, and also pro-
yiding for the holding Ia each precinct
OF the primary election OF all parties
at one time and place. with one set OF
: Judges and clerks, appointed by the
county commissioners and paid as
general election officers, but providing
for separate party tickets; and also
I amending the existing law in minor
! respects.
