CREED Of FAITH
Of REPUBLICANS
G|VENAT TUCSON

The full text of resolutions adopted
by the State Republican Committee
at its meeting here Saturday, June
"a, is as follows:
Never had We had more faith in
the Republican party than we have
now. 1t is successfully solving the
gravest problems that ever confront
ed party in power. The Republican
party knows how to transact the
business of a nation. The affairs of
the nation were in a chaotic state
and the people by an overwhelming
majority called upon the party to
bring order out.of chaos.
AN act establishing a budget sys-
tenn was Immediately passed and un-
der the direction of General Dawes
the measure has exercised whole
some influence in the limitation of
public expenditures.
National Savings
The Democratic administration,
through its departments. asked for
$4,000, 900, 900 for 1922. The Republi-
can congress cut it to $4,000. .00G. 000
The leaders for the Republican party
say that for 1928 the appropriations
will not exceed $4,000. 600, 600. When
we consider the three fixed charges,
000,000s000 interest on the public
debt 1891. 100000 sinking fund. and
$500 100000 for the care of wounded
soldiers, it will be seen that we have
only about 1,500, 900. 900 for the con-
duct of the government, including the
army and navy, which is only $780,
100000 more than the cost of govern
ment before the war. A part of this
reduction is due to the fact that DUR
ing the year 1921, 1854 useless and
superfluous jobholders were dis
missed from the public service: since
the armistice. 320,27S employees have
been dropped from the civil pay-
rolls. These are some of the reasons
for our increased faith in the ability
Of our party to transact the business
of the nation.
Tax Burden Lessened
"A tax law is always unpopular
The new law, however, will this wear
produce $72S,90 900 less than the old
one, and next year viii produce $685.
100000 still less. Gradually the heavy
burdens are being lifted from the
shoulders of the taxpayers.
I'VE are in accord with the admin
istration's policies of loaning money
to farmers and stockmen thereby
making it unnecessary for them to
sacrifice what they have earned: of
appropriating s750.000, 900 for fed
eral cooperation with the states in
the building Of highways; and OF
legalizing the cooperative market
ing of farm products
Peace Leadership
I'VE are justly proud of the ac-
complishments of the Executive De-
partment of the Federal government,
Upon the initiation of President
Harding and his distinguished Sec
retary of State, America has taken
the unquestioned place of leadership
in behalf of peace and form of in
ternational cooperation for the good
of humanity. The straightforward
declaration of Secretary Hughes in
favor of limitation of armament On
the existing basis of comparative sea
power. the negotiation of the Four
Power Treaty governing insular pos
sessions in the Pacific. the progress
made in establishing justice as be-
tween China and the other powers,
the suggestion of voluntary confer
ences for the consideration of inter-
national problems. constitute a pro-
gram of tremendous significance and
influence upon the future of civili-
zation.
Executive Diplomacy
"The firm pronouncement upon the
Yap controversy, the unyielding de-
mand that Mexico guarantee the pro-
lection of American rights of person
and property before American recog-
milton is accorded, and the clear an
nouncement of American purpose TO
treat Russia as a civilized govern
ment, are chapters in American
diplomacy all written within a year,
which add new lustre to the record
of Republicanism as a party of con-
structive achievement
THE Republican party is the party
of protection, and we commend the
congress in working Nceaselesselv and
patiently in the preparation of a bill
which will foster and encourage
business and give protection to
American labor, capital and enter
prise, giving due consideration to all
and varied interests of this vast
country. More than ever before the
people of Arizona keenly appreciate
the value of protective tariffs. We
are sure that Republican capacity
and statesmanship will in the very
near future solve this problem.
Oppose Swing Bill
I'VE endorse the Smith McNary
bill providing for the reclamation OF
the arid lands of the West, and we
urge its immediate passage. We are
opposed to the Swing bill. 1t is un-
fair to Arizona, robs her of her great
est heritage, her natural rights in the
Colorado river, and we ask our rep-
resentatives in congress to do their
utmost to defeat the measure.
In caring for our wounded sol
diers we have spent 00.000.0 .00a,
Our party is neither forgetful nor un-
grateful to its defenders. 1t is now
engaged in the preparation of a bonus
bill which partially, at least. will
compensate the soldiers for the serv-
