5. ECONOMY: We demand that
strict economy in all public mat
teEs which is now absent from the
national and state administrations
be rigidly enforced and we furth-
ers demand the election of officials
w4o can be depended upon to en-
force it.. We demand that all state
expenses and receipts be budgeted
and balanced each year.
8. TAXATION and constitution
ai limitation: We recommend that
limits be placed upon the tax
sQuanderers. Minnesota has next
co the highest real and personal
tax in the union. The state gov
eminent, in the control of the Far
mer-Labor party, has gone on the
widest spending spree. We con-
denim the dangerous practice of
hiding tax burdens, and shifting
fnom direct to indirect and hidden
taxes.
2. CONSERVATION: We de-
,mand the election of a governor
3sho will completely free the con-
~servation department Of all con-
trol for political purposes in order
that the natural resources of our
state may be preserved.
8. SEAWAY: We strongly urge
early ratification of the st. Law
rence-Great Lakes seaway treaty
hy the United States senate as we
believe its construction will be of
great benefit to Minnesota and
the northwest.
8. OLD AGE PENSIONS: We
approve the plans of old age pen
slons and denounce all attempts
to create a state political machine
by centralized administration of
the system and believe that it's ad-
ninistration should be as close to
the people as possible and that lib
eralization of the law should be
dictated by experience.
10. VETERANS: We believe
that the proper care of the disab-
led veterans is one of the most
sacred obligations of the American
people and we demand that this
obligation be discharged in the
most liberal manner possible.
