promises to the farmer are not false, the
platform points to the fact that the pres
ent Republican administration has loaned
$1,OOO,OOO to farmers and reduced their
taxation by courageously enforcing law in
the state. It also calls attention to the
six great measures passed by the present
Republican congress for agricultural re-
lief.
Where the Democrats propose to
erect state-owned warehouses without ex-
planning where the money is coming from,
the Republican platform proposes that the
farmer own his own warehouses thru CO.
operative associations, and pledges itself
to arrange state loans to help to this end.
There are IA other explicit points in
the Republican platform, besides prepar-
alton reviewing the enviable record of
both national and state administrations
under Republican control. The platform
declares for:
Laws to make advocacy of the de-
struction of life or property felony.
All measures for betterment of labor.
A living wage for workers.
The present industrial relations act
and workmen's compensation law.
Economy and efficiency in publ.
