CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS
We call attention to the antics of the pres
ent Lieutenant Governor of Montana and
recommend that Constitutional Amendment
be had so that the Governor and Lieutenant
Governor be elected from the same party,
similarly to the President and Vice President
of the United States.
We favor the Constitutional Amendment
proposed at the 1857 Legislative Assembly,
dealing with the selection of judges of the
Supreme Court, by the plan which is a COM
bination of appointment and election We
commend the efforts of the Montana Bar
Association in developing and supporting this
proposed legislation.
NATIONAL ISSUES
FOREIGN POLICY
L. We urge a foreign policy that will pro-
tect the security of all of our citizens; pro-
tect the independency, honor and integrity of
America; and safeguard the rights of the
worker and owners of property and business
2. We deplore actions of our Government
dissipating the nations resources in fruitless
attempts to raise living standards of all
peoples everywhere in the world. Results
after twleve years of this policy have proved
borrowed money which our taxpayers must
repay, is a failure. We urge that foreign
economic aid should go only to friendly
countries and these only in repayable loans
with interest We are unalterably opposed to
granting money, extending financial help or
assistance in any form, to Communist gov
ernments or their satellite states
IMMIGRATION
We believe in the provisions of the Nc
Carren-Walters Act W t h out weakening
amendments.
STATE RIGHTS
We demand that the rights of individual
states be safeguarded by holding the Fed
eral Government to the powers delegated to
it by the states under the Constitution
BALANCED BUDGET
We demand that Montana and the Nation
maintain balanced budgets. The spendthrift
and inflationary policies of the United States
Congress and the Montana Legislature. now
both controlled by the Democrat Party, have
brought the State and Nation to the brink
of disaster
TARIFF
The United States standards of living for
workmen must be protected by adequate tar
ifs. Congress, and Congress only, should
have the power to fix tariff rates.
The Republican Party continues it's posi-
ton against Federal Aid to Education on a
general, overall basis However, we favor
the continuation of long established pro-
IL
Barden programs, the School Lunch Program,
the Indian Education Program, and aid to
Land Grant Colleges and aid to Federally
impacted areas
IN BUSINESS
We demand that the United State Govern
ment take immediate steps to divest itself of
all forms of business which compete with
private enterprise
SUPREME COURT
We deplore the action of the United States
Supreme Court in freeing convicted Com
nunists and Communist agents who advocate
The overthrow of our form of government
by force and violence
TAXES
Taxes have become an unbearable burden
Upon the individual and industry. We can
visualize only bankruptcy, chaos and disaster
lnder the theory of spending beyond our
ncome, which has been the practice of the
Democrat Party in control since 1888. Only
Turing the periods of Republican control of
Congress was the budget balanced and sub
tantial tax reduction made We demand that
expenses be reduced to put the budget in
he black
