REPUBLICAN PLATFOR
Continued from page 1
will offer effectual protection to do
mestic Interests.
The Republican party Is committed
to the development of such perma
nent Bystein responding to our great
er needs and in line in all respects
with the most progressive nations of
the wofld and the appointment of a
monetary commission by the 60th
Congress which will Impartially in
vestigate all proposed methods, In
suring the early realisation of this
purpose.
The present currency laws have
fully Justified their adoption by an
expanding commerce, a marvelous
growth in wealth and population,
multiplying the centers of distribu
tion, increasing the demand for the
movement of crops in the West and
South and entailing periodic changes
in monetary conditions, disclose the
need of a more elastic currency and
adaptable system. Such a system
must meet the requirements of ag
riculturalists, manufacturers, mer
chants and business men generally,
automatic in operation, minimizing
the fluctuations in interest rates, and
above all it must be in harmony with
the Republican doctrine which in
sists that every dollar shall be based
upon, redeemable in and as good as
gold.
We favor the establishment of a
postal savings bank system for the
convenience of the people and the en
couragement of thrift.
Wo approve the enactment of the
railroad rate law and vigorous en
forcement by the present administra
tion of the statutes against rebates
and discrimination as the result of
which the advantages formerly pos
sessed by the large shippers over the
small shippers have substantlaly dis
appeared. In this connection we
commend the appropriation of $350,
000 by the present Congress in order
to enable the Interstate Commerce
Commission thoroughly to investi
' gate and to give publicity in the ac
counts of intsrstate railroads. We
believe, however, that the Interstate
Commerce law should be further
amended so as to give railroads their
right to make and publish traffic
agreements subject to the approval
of the commission, but maintaining
always the principle of competition
between naturally competing lines
and avoiding the common control of
such lines by any means whatsoever.
We favor such National legislation
and supervision as will prevent the
future over-issue of stooks and bonds
by interstate carriers.
The enactment In constitutional
form by the present session of Con
gress of the employers' liability law;
the passage and enforcement of the
safety appliance statutes, as well as
the additional protection secured for
engineers and firemen; the reduc
tion In the hours of laborers, train
men and railway telegraphers; the
successful exercise of the powers of
mediation and arbitration between
Interstate railroads and -their em
ployes and the law making a begin
ning in the policy of compensation
for injured employes of the Govern
ment are among the most commend
able accomplishments of the present
administration.
The Republican party recognizes
the Bpeolal needs of wageworkers
generally, for tholr well being means
the well being for all. But more Im
portant than all other considerations
Is that of good citizenship, and we
especially stnnd for the needs of the
American, whatever hig occupation,
In his capacity as a self-respecting
citizen.
The Republican party will uphold
at all times the authority and integ
rity of the courts, state and Federal,
and will ever inslBt that their pow
ers to enforce their process and to
protect life, liberty and property
shall be preserved Inviolate. We be
lieve, however, that the rules of pro
cedure in the Federal .courts with
respect to the issuance of the wrLt
of injunction should be more accur
ately defined by statute, and that no
Injunction or temporary restraining
order should bo issued without no
tice, except where irreparable Injury
would result from delay, In which
case a speedy hearing thereafter
should be granted.
Among those whose welfare Is as
vital to the welfare of the whole
country as that of the wage-earner
Is the American farmer. The Repub
lican party during the last li years
has accomplluhod extraordinary work
In bringing the resources of the Na
tional government to the aid of the
farmer, not only in advancing agri
culture itself, but in increasing the
conveniences of rural life.
Free rural mall delivery was es
tablished over earnest Democratic
opposition; It now reachos millions
of our citizens and we favor its ex
tension until every community in the
land receives the full benefits of the
postal service. Wo recognize the so
cial and economical advantages of
good country roads, maintained more
and more largely at public expense,
less and less at the expense of the
abutting owners.
We indorse the movement Inau
gurated by the President for the co
operative conservation of the natural
resources of the country. We up
prova all measures to prevent waste
of timber, and commend the work
now going on for the reclamation of
arid lands, and we're-afflrm the Re
publican policy of the free distribu
tion of the available area of the pub
llo domain to the landless settler.
No obligation of the future 1b more
insistent and none will result in
greater blossIngB to posterity. In line
with this splendid undertaking is the
further duty, equally Imperative, to
enter upon a systematic Improvement
upon a large and comprehensive
plan, Just to all portions of the coun
try, of the water ways, harbors and
great lakes, whose uatural adaptabil
ity to the increasing tralllo of the
land is one of the greatest gifts of a
benign Providence.
We commend the Incrense in the
widows' pensions made by the last
congress, aud declare for a liberal
administration of all pension laws,
to the end that the people's gratitude
may grow deeper as the memories of
heroic sacrifice grow more sacred
with the progressing years.
In the Interest of tho great miner
al Industries of our country we earn
estly favor the establishment or
Bureau of Mines and .Mining.
We favor the Immediate admission
of the Territories of New Mexico and
Arizona as separate states in the
Union.
No Need of Suffering from Rheumatism
It is a mistake to allow rheumatism
to become chronic, as the pain can al
ways bo relieved, and In most cases
a cure effected by applying Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. The reliof from
pain which it affords is alone worth
many times its cost. It makes Bleep
and rest possible. Even in cases of
long standing this liniment should be
used on account of the relief which It
affords. 25 and B0 cent sizes for sale

From a child, pictures and the love

Grade Will Be Well Under
Way This Year Connect
ing Oregon City and
Southern Clackamas
Prospects for a railroad from Ore
gon City into Southern Clackamas are
growing origin. Tents are now being
pitched at Scotts Mills aud next week
surveyors will commence to locate the
permanent route of the long-expeoted
railway. The line will traverse the
same territory as was contemplated by
the original Uregou Uity company,
Farmers along the ronte insist that
a railroad is never a certainty until it
is bnilt. The vigorous action of the
new promoters is reassuring, however,
and it seems evident that Mr. Swift
will, according to his promise, have
a tirade well under way this year.
County Judge Diuiick is elated over
the prospect. He was largely instru
mental in promoting the original pro
ject, but willingly made way for the
man who convinced him that he
would very soon have cars running
into Oregon City from Southern
Clack amaM.
Mr. Swift's road will probably head
oft the projected branch of the f ort-
and-Salem line that was expeoted to
reach Sootts Mills by wvr of Wood
burn. A number of 'inland places
will now become railroad towns.
The new line will add thousands to
Clackamas coanty's population and
will increase laud values throughout
the section traversed fifty to one-
hundred per cent.
