Policy of Conservation


 We declare sane and forward look ing policy of conservation of our na- tural resources with which our state has been so layishly endowed, and to that end we insist upon legislation for the preservation and protection of our fish. game. timber. coal, gas, oil and water power against monopolistic con trol and for the use of all the people. The vast water power of the state has too long been neglected With the di miniShing timber supply as fuel and with the hazards and high prices at tending our coal supply we must turn to cheaper power and heat Every pos sihle aid and encouragement should be given the development of water power in our great state, and we here by declare for such development.
 Local Legislation.
 We deplore the abuses of local and special legislation. We favor d con- stitutional amendment to restrict it, and commend this as a proper subject for a joint resolution in the approach ing General Assembly looking to such amendment.
 We recommend that the General As sembly enact general legislation that will supersede, as far as practicable, the mass of local statutes now in ex- istence.
 Special Laws.
 Owing to the unrest of the people and the unsettled and unstable condi tion of the country. we again recon mend the repeal of all local and spec ial legislation for the building of roads and bridges and all other local or special acts. where bonds have not been issued until conditions have i'm proved and become more nearly nor mal
 We further recommend that all To- cal bills for the creation of road and bridge districts provide that the pro- posed improvement be submitted to vote of the owners of real estate To- cated within said proposed districts and that such improvements shall not be commenced or undertaken until q majority of the real estate owners within such districts shall vote for such improvement.
 We further recommend that the emergency clause shall not be attach cd to any bill providing for local i'm prOyement.

We favor such legislation as will provide for a severance tax upon all elements of the states natural re sources, including gas, oil, forest pro- ducts, minerals, coal, gravel, sand, stone and pearls.

Law Enforcement.

That life and property may be pro ment of all laws There shall be no retreat upon the question of prohibi- ton. The Eighteenth Amendment is a fixture in our organic law. The feder- al and state prohibition laws must be enforced. We oppose the repeal of the VolStead act. or any modification thereof, which has for it's purpose the legalizing of the manufacture or sale of light wines or beer and we favor the strict enforcement of existing laws for it's suppression. Gambling is inimical to the best interests of soci- ety. We declare our opposition to any amendment to provide protection for race track or any other form of gamb- ling
 We favor legislation that will re- quire the registration of those who own pistols and high power firearms.
 Agriculture.

We heartily commend the promised sue cess of newly organized associations for the successful handling and mar ke.ms of the farm products of our great ztata We recognize the need of better lvmc conditions on the farms, and asfar a> oar organized party can render aid.

Penitentiary,

Nt tIlC Pi1cNht dpiN ihNs1 agement of the Arkansas penitentary. We favor the continuation of the judi cious exercise of clemency through the operation of the parole law as ad- ministered by the Penitentiary Board, and the furlough as exercised by the governor We recommend that the pa role law be amended so that more than one-third of a definite sentence shall be served before parole is al lowed on short terms. We favor these forms of clemency rather than the outright pardon. and we commend the present governor for his refusal to pardon.
 The fact that the penitentiary fund showed q balance of more than S1oo00o at the close of the fiscal year=of June 20, lo22, after all oper- Hatug expenses and the interest and part of fine principal of the old in debtedncss had been paid and many improvements made. is conclusive evi- deaee of the good husiness methods of the present administration and we Thereby commend the same

Education.

We declare for better educational
 advantages. Arkansas is in the midst of an educational crisis We commend
 the able and progressive administra
 ton of the present superintendent of
 education and advocate further aid to the Forward Education Movement
 to the end that Arkansas may be lift cd from its low rank in education. We endorse the move of Governor Mcltae to have an honorary commission make il survey of educational c0ndl- tions and pledge our party to an or ganized assistance of the present nom inees for governor and superintend- ent of public instruction in their pleas for public support and legislative en- actment for the relief of our schools.
 We favor the transfer of all lands now owned or hereafter acquired by the state to the permanent school fund We recommend that an ample number of well trained, patriotic teachers. thoroughly imbued with American ideals and with a thorough knowledge of our institutions, be maintained in the public schools. In order that the boys and girls under their tutelage may become one hund= red per cent American and all idea of a hyphenated citizenship be abandon ed. necessary funds should be speedily provided to the end that the teaching force in the public schools may be well educated. well equipped and tho qualified.

 Through the agricultural schools op- portunity k offered boys and girls for an education that peculiarly fits them for the duties of life. We recommend that the legislature investigate the needs of these schools and enact such measures as may be necessary to en- able such schools to carry into effect the purpose for which created, and to meet such contingencies as may be necessary caused by oyertaxing their capacities by the erection of ad- dit tional buildings and the purchase of new equipment. when necessary.

State Revenue

1 purposes of taxation as between the 1 several local taxing units is difficult of accomplishment. Efforts having for their purpose statewide equalization have produced friction and irritation, and the results have been disappoint- ing. In the interest of an equitable distribution of the tax burden and to the end that local taxing agencies may have revenue sufficient for their needs, we declare for the abolishment as far as practicable, of all general levics for state purposes and for se- curing the revenue now supplied from such sources by extending the system of excise taxation on inheritances, corporate franchises, insurance prem iums and similar privileges.
 Purchasing Agent.
 We favor the adoption of Il more eff ficient and economical method of pur- chasing supplies for the state. Success ful business has adopted the plan of centralizing purchasing and we believe that the peoples business, the state government should follow the lead. Such plan would not only provide more economical purchasing but would prevent over-expenditures of appro- priatons.

Conference Called
On Oil At Sea

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2L-(U. P)--
An international conference of the
principal maritime nations of the
world will convent here this winter at
the invitation of the United states, to
consider measures to be taken to rid
the world seacoasts Of the menace to
fisheries, property ana migratory
birds in the increasing pollution OF
coastal waters by oil elected from
steamships.
President Harding, acting in compli-
ance with legislation enacted recently
by Congress, has authorized Secretary
of State Hughes to issue invitations to
the conference, and in interdepart-
mental committee representing the
Departments of State, War, Navy,
Commerce, Interior, and Agriculture
and the shipping Board is at work de-
termining which nations will be in
vited and formulating agents for the
conference.
Representative r. F. Appleby, New
Jersey, in whose state are some of
the finest bathing beaches on the At
lantic Coast, notably that at Atlantic
City, is the father of the conference.
He introduced and secured passage
by Congress of bill authorizing Pres
ident Harding to call it.
1t is intended that the Ivsult OF the
conference will he an international
agreement whereby each nation will
pledge itself to see that masters of
ships flying its flag will exercise every
precaution in the election of oil from
their ships and in no case will eject it
where it will drift shorewards. Be
cause no nation has jurisdiction on the
high seas beyond the three mile limit. /.
an agreement is the sole manner in
which the object can be attained, do |
mestic legislation being imperative.

WHY RUSSIAN FACTORY
COST ARE so HIGH

MOSCOW, Aug. Ella. P,)-Pro-
duction charges in many Russian fac
tories have become so high that the
Soviet government would now find it
cheaper TO import certain manufac-
tured articles than to make them at
home M
For example, it is said that harvest
er machines chn be purchased and
transported from Germany, or even
from America, to Russia for much
less than the cost of producing them
in the plant of the international HarA
vester company, near Moscow.
This American factory, one of the
few industries in Russia that was not
nationalized by the Bolshevili. is one
of the most efficient in the country,
but its production costs per machine
manufactured are almost twice those
of the German and American plants OF
the company. Tfis is chiefly due to-
the high prices of raw material, but
the unusual Russian labor laws also
are an important factor.
For example, workman whose
wife is expecting a child is paid 20
per cent additional salary for nine
months, and in the month when the
child is born receives still another full
months pay, If the workman is sup
porting a sister or mother or any
other woman in an interesting condi-
ton, the same rule applies, while a
feminine employe receives even more
liberal treatment, amounting TO seven
full months extra pay.
