\ to the contribution by a corporation
of any money or thing of value to
be used in furthering tno election of
a president and vice president of the
United States or ot any member of
the congress thereof.
We denounce the action of the Republican
party, having complete control
of the federal government, for
^ its failure to pass the bill, introduc'*
ed in the last congrto.s, (o compel the
publication of the names of eontriEji
butors and the amounts contributeed
toward campaign tunds and point
to the evidence of their inconsis&
teney, when they set out by an abso?
lately irrelevant and impossible
js amendment to defeat the passage of
*he bill. For evidence ot their intenjP$ji
'*on conduct their campaign in the
coming contest vwith vast ^uins of
money wrested from favor-seeking
B EpP corporations, we call attend!ion to
Ijgf the fact that the recent Republican
|||. national convention at Chicago refused,
when the plank was presented
^ to it, to declare agmnst such practiWe
pledge (he Democratic party to
the enactment of a law prevent ins:
any corporation contributing to a
compaign fund and any individual
from contributing an amount above
a reasonable maximum and providing
for the publication before election of
all such contributions above a reason|?
able minimum.
Panama Canal.
We believe the Panama canal will
prove of great value to our country
and favor its speedy rompletion.
The Rights of States.
Believing with Jelferson in "the
support of the State governments in
j||| all their rights as the most compet|||||
' enl administration for our domestic
Wife concerns and the surest bulwark
wiUPefri n-:1'ns' anti-republican tendencies,"
and in "the preservation of (he yenft;
eral government in its whole const itulioual
vigor, as the shed anchor of
our peace at home ami lite safety
^5.? abroad," we are opposed to (ho eenI
rali/.at ion implied in those suggestions,
now frequently made. <ha( the
JiijS powers of the general government
jf-;]! should be extended by judicial conM.
1 struct ion. There is no twilight zone
between (lie nation and (lie Stale in
which exploiting interests can take
refuge from both; and it is as necessary
that (lie federal government
shall exercise (he powers deloagled to
. ji. it as it is that (he Slate governments
shall use the authority reserved to
them; but we insist that federal rc.)?.
medies for (he regulation of interstale
commerce and for the preveniton
of ' rivate monopoly shall be added
t- ot substituted for?State
remedies.
Economy In Administration.
The Republican congress in session
just ended has made appropriations
i? amounting to $1,008,000, exceeding
the total expenditures of the past fisv
eal year by $900,000,000 and leaving
a deficit of more than $00,000,000
Ip&fo- for the fiscal year. We denounce the
jpg* needless waste of the people's money,
which iihs resulted in this appalling
jjpjs increase, as a shameful violation of
nil prudent conditions of government,
a-S no 'ess ^,nn a r'''ine against, the
V millions of working men and women
{. from whose earnings the great proportion
of these colossal sums must
Ibe extorted through excessive tariff
exactions and other indirect methods.
Tl is not surprising that, in the face
of (his shocking iveord, the Republican
platform contains no reference
to economical administration or
promise thereof in the future. We
demand (hal a stop be put (o this
frigid fill extravagance and insist upon
the strictest economy jn every department
compatible with frugal and
efficient administration.
Natural Resources.
We repeat ihe dennnd for internal
development and for the conservation
of our natural resources contained
ii | revious platforms, the enforcement
of which Mr. Roosevelt
has vainly sought from a reluctant
party, and to that end we ensist upon
the preservation, protection and
replacement of needed forests, the
preservation of the public domain for
home seekers, (he protection of the
natural resources in lumber, coal,
iron and oil against monopolistic control,
(he development of on. walcrways
for navigation and every other
useful purpose, including the irriga
tiou of arid lands, the reclamation of
swamp lands, the clarification of
streams, the developmet of water
power and the preservation of electric
power generated by this natural
s force from the control of monopoly,
and to such end we urge the exercise
> of all powers, national, State and
I municipal, both scpartcly and in
cooperation.
We insist upon a policy of administration
of our forest reserve which
shall relieve it of the abuses which
*j? have arisen and which shall as far
as practicable conform to the polico
regulations of the several States
where thoy are located, which shall

Banking. j *
The pr.nic of 1007, coming without
any legitimate excuse, when the Rv-, .
publican party for a decade had been ;
in complete control of the federal i
government, furnishes additional evi- >
deuce that it is either uiAvilliug or ns
incompetent* to protect the interest I c<
i of the general public. It has linked b<
the country to Wall street so that the c<
sins of the speculators are visited in
upon the whole people. While rcfus- c<
ing to rescue wealth producers from A
spoliation at the hands of the stock ri
gamblers and speculators in farm j
products, il has deposited the treas-1
urv funds, without interest and with- j n,
out competition, in favorite banks. It: \v
has used an emergency for which it , c.j
is largely responsible to force j n
through congress a bill changing the!(|

market manipul;<iion, uirl lis.- failed j p
to give to the 15,001),000 depositors j n;
of the country protection in their j v,
?av.ings. I w
We le'icvc that in y. far as the
needs of commerce require an emergency
currency, sucIt currency should f(
be issued, controlled by the federal n.
government and loaned on adequate ({
security to national and State banks, j n,
We pledge ourselves to legislation ]1(
under which the national banks shall i jv
be required to establish si guarantee :
fund for the prompt payment of thcju
depositors of any insolvent national r<
bank under an equitable system j <|
which shall be available to all State ' ,,
hacking institutions wishing to use i j |
it. ei
We favor a postal savings bank if p
the guaranteed bank can not be se- [_'
cured and that it be constituted so as p
to keep the deposited money in the I p,
community where it is established, j ii
Hut we coqdemn the policy of the jot
Republican party in proposing .postal j n<
savings banks under a plan of con- j n

We favor an income tax as part of j
