codifcation of all of the laws of the
state of Arizona.
1t is imperative that the integrity
of our financial institutions may not
be impaired and that the public con-
fidence in the banks may be assured.
Under the present democratic admin
istration no state moneys have been
lost through bank failures. We COM
mend the present administration for
enforcing the laws governing banking
institutions.
We pledge the democratic members
of the state legislature to enact such
legislation as will protect adequately
the funds of the depositOrs of banks
subject to state control.
The congress of the United States
has submitted proposal to amend
the Constitution Of the United States
to provide that congress regulate the
employment of children. We favor
and pledge the approval of this amend
ment by the state of Arizona.
We unqualifiedly and thankfully in
dorse and commend those wise and
timely actions of the governor of the
state of Arizona in the prevention of
an unfortunate extension of the foot
and mouth diseases to the live stock
of this state and of the boil Weeyil
pest to the cotton industry of Arizona
While recognizing this highest ne
cessity OF public policy, we deplore
the sacrifices and loss of property,
and pledge the democratic members
of our legislature to the enactment of
those measures guaranteeing and SCI
curing adequate compensation for
such loss.
| The public health department of our
government has become one of the
most important in the state The in
| flux of aliens who are unaccutomed
to modern methods of sanitation is
responsible for epidemics of disease.
The situation demands attention and
education. The democratic party is
pledged to a program adequate to the
protection of the public health
| We especially commend the demo-
cratic administration and the last
democratic legislature for making ade-
quate appropriations for the eradica-
ton of tuberculosis in dairy cattle
and providing funds for the dairy in
spection service to assure the people
Of the state of Arizona pure milk
supply.
The democratic party pledges its
candidates to the enactment of legis
lation to provide for the better en-
forcement of the laws to eliminate the
illegal traffic in narcotics.
| The democratic party calls atten-
ton to the fact that appropriations
were made by the legislature to pro-
vide homes for ex-service men; that
the republican administration failed
to put the law into operation, al
though ample funds had been provid
ed for this purpose, and that one of
the first acts of the present demo-
cratic administration was to put into
operation the Soldiers Settlement Act.
We pledge the continued support of
the democratic party to carry out the
provisions of the Soldier Settlement
Act
The last democratic legislature in
an effort to promote honesty in cleo
tionS and to cause members of a
political party to register and par
ticipate in their own party, enacted
a law to provide that a candidate re-
ceiving 81 per cent of the votes cast
for that office in a primary election
would be declared elected The re-
publican state central committee in
voked the referendum against this
measure and the people will be called
upon to vote upon this question in
November The democratic party
urges the adoption of this measure in
the interest of clean and wholesome
politics.
Upon this solemn declaration of
principle, thoughtfully thankful in re-
membrance of Jefferson, Jackson,
Cleveland, and Woodrow Wilson, in
their enunciation, execution, and
transmission of the true tenants of
! democracy, equal opportunity to ALL
special privilege to none, in cham
pionship of human liberty, we the
democracy of Arizona, confident in
the assurance of victory, rest our
cause to the free judgment of the
women and men Of this great COM
