Economy and Efficiency.
The same principles of economy
and efficiency which are applied in
the conduct OF successful private ind
corporate business should be used in
the management Of public affairs.
We pledge the nominees OF this con.
vention to a continued policy OF strict
economy, and utmost efficiency so
that under Republican rule public
office will in fact be a public trust.
s. All corporations, companies and
enterprises engaged in supplying any
Of the essential commodities upon
which practically the entire population
depends, should be conducted and
managed in such a way as to pro
mote the general welfare and should
be subject to the provisions OF the
Public Utilities Commission. We
favor improving, extending and
strengthening the Public Utilities law
OF Utah so as to embrace all public |
utilize corporations. companies and |
organizations including coal producers |
and dealers; and we pledge our
candidates for the state legislature |
to the enactment OF such amendments /
or laws as will make the provision
OF this resolution effective.
6. The consistent Republican prin-
clple of giving everyone an oppor-
tunity to share as far as possible In
the administration OF government

favor that all deputy officers be
chosen from the mass OF the people
rather than from among the kinsmen
Df the elected officer.

IL. In order to keep and to make
our government stable and continu-
Gus, II is the duty OF every citizen to
uphold and assist In the enforcement

spect of a number OF our own people

ourselves and the officers elected by
us to the enforcement OF the laws
