production. This low price to the
farmer has not been materially re-

~quently, it is essential that an ad-
justment of the relation between
production and distribution be made
in order that the producer and the
consumer may participate in pros
perity brought about by a plentiful
supply of farm products produced
in the state.
We urge the adoption of an agri-
cultural program based upon sound
economics of production and distri-
button. which will provide for the
I needs of the state IN keeping with
its Importance. A statewide extern
sion of the work of the Bureau of
| Farm Markets will result not only
in lowering the cost of living In
cities. but increased profit for the
farmers.
We favor the development OF
farm organizations, the activities OF
the State Department of Agricul-
ture, the Agricultural Experiment
Station. and the Agricultural Col
lege, all of which should join as q
unit in an agricultural program 10
develop properly this great industry.
We favor the Standardization Of
agricultural products for more eff
cient distribution.
Economy
We favor the utmost economy in
the administration of state and mu-
nicipal affairs, the abolition of use
less offices and the consolidation of
public enterprises wherever posi-

Less Legislation-More
Administration
We should have less legislation
and more administration. The
methods which have long pre-
vailed tend inevitably to the enact
ment of much ill-considered legis-
lation, not only with respect to the
policies involved therein. but also
with respect to the form in which
these policies are expressed. 1t is
intolerable that the statutory law of
this state should be spread over
some $4,000 pages. Not only should
the legislature have the advice and
cooperation of expert craftsmen in
the preparation of every act. but
each bill introduced should be care
fully scrutinized to see whether the
welfare of the state demands its
| passage.
Preservation of he Constitution
and Respect for Law
Genuine Americanism means the
| preservation of constitutional gov
eminent as against the misrule o.
anarchy. We stand unequivocally
for the preservation OF the Consti-
tuition and enforcement laws with
out impairment.
Respect for law is the keystone OF
all free government. 1t is the duty
of the chief executive of the state
to see to it that the law Of the state
as enacted by the legislature is fully
J enforced. 1t is the duty to see to t
