changes be made as will afford tax.
payers full opportunity to be heard
before revaluations shall become
effective.
We believe the method Of collect
ing delinquent taxes as provided by
House Bill 127 should be retained !;
but the interest charges have been
found by practice to be entirely too
high and we pledge our party candi-
dates to the reduction Of the same.
We favor a fair and equitable dis
tribution of the tax burden upon
every individual and upon every
dollars worth Of property.
Labor
The Republican party recognizes
the trade union movement as a ma
tional institution which, in large
measure is responsible for our
freedom from foreign social and
economic disease. This coupled with
the Republican system Of safe
guarding the American wage Garner
by restricted immigration, insures
the machinery for continuance of
the American standard of living.
improvements in the working con-
ditions OF the American worker are
due largely to the efforts Of or
ganized labor, which enables him to
enjoy a greater measure of com
fort and a greater participation in
the finer things Of life.
The principle Of collective bar
gaining and freedom in labor nego-
tiations, which puts the toiler upon
basis of fair equality with the
employer, should not be endangered
by unnecessary judicial restraints.
We favor a remedy to curb grave
abuses arising from the issuance Of
injunctions in labor disputes. We
recognize the right of labor to or
ganize for their welfare and to be
represented by officials of their own
choice.
We condemn as subversive to
good government and American in
stitutions contracts containing con-
ditions of employment unfair to
labor.
That the Arizona workman may
enjoy his fireside and devote time
to further recreation and better
ment, we promise hearty support
to the eight-hour day. We favor
an extension of this adjustment to
all state, county and municipal
work whether performed by con-
tract or otherwise.
We favor legislation that will
limit the employment of prisoners
upon work in competition with free
labor. We will oppose any move
ment to weaken the laws designed
to protect the lives, health and
safety of those engaged in industry.
We pledge our party and the candi-
dates thereof to support legislation
for appropriations for public works
that funds may be available to pro.
vide employment for the workers of
Arizona
Our party is pledged to support
legislation that will insure that
none but citizens shall be given EN-
ployment on public work. We fur,
ther recommend that war veterans
and residents of Arizona be given
preference. We pledge our candi-
dates to support the workmen's
compensation act, and liberal
statutory construction upon and d
strict enforcement of the law pro-
viding permanent partial disability
benefits for injured workmen. We
favor an amendment to the compen
sation act to provide benefits fol
occupational diseases.
Immediately upon the convenine
of the legislature we pledge oul
governor to appoint to the indus
trial commission a member friendly
to labor and in sympathy with the
law.
Banking and Insurance
We deeply deplore and regret the
loss of depositors' money in the va
rious state banks which have closed
during the past few years, and WE
charge this loss directly to the fail
ure of the Hunt appointees to prop
erly enforce our state banking laws
In order to restore the confidence
in our banking system and give oul
citizens the fullest protection pos
