The resolutions committee of the
Republican county convention
brought in a report Tuesday eve
ming, which follows:
The Republican party of Hum
boldt county, in convention assem-
bled, adopts the following resolu-
tions:
Administration Commended
Resolved, That we most heartily
and enthusiastically endorse the
present Republican national admin
istration and commend to the peo-
pie of Humboldt county the wise
and patriotic administration of Pres
ident Harding, the reduction in the
expenses of the national govern
ment and the consequent decrease
in taxation brought about by the
Republican administration at Wash
ington, the strengthening of the
bonds of peace and friendship be-
tween this nation and the other
great nations of the earth brought
about by the recent peace confer
ence at Washington.
Rights for Women
Resolved, That we approve and
endorse those provisions of the law
which recognizes the equal rights of
women to hold and enjoy equal
rights, privileges, positions and op-
portunities with men as to employ
ments and industries and profess
sions, holding of office of honor and
profit and in the performance of
civil duties, including jury service,
and we hold that the pay and amol-
ument of the women in all of these
professions and industries should be
fully as much as men receive for
the same. We favor the enactment
and enforcement of laws prohibit
ing unlawful and wrongful discrinl-
ination against women in any Of
these respects and we confidentially
rely upon the Republican party, that
great champion and defender Of
human rights ever since the great
emancipator, Abraham Lincoln, to
perfect, enact and enforce legisla-
ton suitable and sufficient to pro-
tect in all their just rights and priv
ileges our newly emancipated wom-
en- of America.
Saved Stockmen
Resolved, That the rescue of the
cattle, sheep, wool and other prod
ucts of American labor and Ameri-
can capital from the lack of mar
kets and ruinous values Of a year
ago, up to the present living and
preservative prices of those same
commodities, is to be attributed to
the wise provisions of the protective
tariff originated and enacted by the
Republican party and rigidly en-
forced by the present Republican
administration and such tariff so
administered meets our hearty ap-
proval, and as do the provisions of
the Fordney tariff bill now before
Congress.
Humboldt Irrigation
Resolved, That we respectfully
urge the enactment of such laws by
the next state legislature as will
facilitate the formation of irrigation
districts along the Humboldt river
for irrigation purposes and that the
federal government be invited to
participate in the project, ard to
this end we pledge our influence in
obtaining federal aid to assist in
the promoting and perfecting of
such irrigation.
Protect American Workers
Resolved, That the immigration
into the United States from Europe,
Asia, or any other foreign country
of vast hordes of ignorant, wholly
uneducated people, often not only
stepped in dense ignorance but in
crime and criminal habits and utter
ly ignorant of the duties of citizens
in the United States, is a menace
to the existence of our. country and
of her sacred institutions and is a
