md TEXT OF PLATFOR WHICH DEMOCRATS OFFER 10 PEOPLE Pledges Support to Ticket, Gov- ernment Cost Cut, Aid to Agriculture The text of the platform adopted by the Democratic state central com- mittee Wednesday follows: “The national Democratic party has always taken the position that the basic industry of this country is agriculture and that agriculture is the fountain-head of our whole eco- nomic structure; opposed to this con- cept is that of the directors of the policy of the Republican party who continually minimize the importance of agriculture and magnify the im- portance of manufacturing, com- merce and their allied financial in- terests. “The failure of agriculture to give its whole-hearted support to its ad- vocate and champion, the Democra- tic party, has been detrimental both to agriculture and to manufacturing end commerce and to the country as a whole. “Intelligent self-interest demands that the people of this agricultural state lend their political support to the party that views agriculture as our basic industry and not as an un- important industry that is more of a burden than a help to the general welfare. “The political and economic policy of the leaders of the Republican par- ty has resulted in the impoverish- ment of the people of our state to the point where, to support through taxation even the bare essentials of government is an almost unbearable financial burden. At this time of grave financial distress we find our taxpayers burdened with the support of state commissions, boards and bu- reaus and find that the functions of our state government have been otherwise increased to the point where our people are virtually being denied the right of local self-gov- ernment and the tax burden neces- sary to support this expanded and ever expanding state government threatens the loss of the very homes of our people through tax sale. Comes With Clean Hands “In view of this situation, and real- izing that it is the one party organ-! ization in the state that can, with clean hands, come to the relief of our harassed taxpayers, the Demo- cratic party of North Dakota does hereby offer relief and leadership on the following platform “We unreservedly endorse the can- didacy of the honorable Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Honorable John N. Garner for vice president, and the entire national platform adopted at Chicago. We direct special attention to that part of the platform which relates to the rehabilitation of agri- culture. Governor Roosevelt stands for the immediate refinancing of agriculture with the same vigor that the Republicans have shown to re- lieve the banker, railroads and insur- nce companies. Governor Roosevelt believes that the secretary of agri- culture should be a person sympath- etic with and conversant with the problems of agriculture. He has ex- pressed himself as heartily in favor of appointing men who understand and are in sympathy with the great agricultural interests of our country as members of farm loan boards and. other boards dealing with farm fi- nance and farm problems. The in- debtedness of the farm and the home owner must be refinanced, and that on a basis that will instill hope in the heart of the debtor. We further en- dorse the candidacies of P. W. La- nier for U. 8. senator, W. D. Lynch and R. B. Murphy for members of congress, H. C. DePuy for governor and the remainder of the state ticket, knowing these men are whole-heart- edly behind Governor Roosevelt and the entire Democratic platform. Would Cut to Minimum “2. We declare that the activities of our state government should be immediately reduced to the absolute minimum, “3. Where public regulation or su- pervision is necessary, we declare that, as far as possible, such regula- tion and supervision should be per- formed by the duly elected county and municipal officers and not through commissions, boards and bu- reaus of the state government. “4, The multiplications of state laws has kept pace with the growing ineffectiveness of government and we declare the policy of the Democratic party to be to discourage the enact- ment of new laws and to encourage the legislature to exert itself towards the repeal of unnecessary expense- producing laws now on our statute books and toward the elimination of the many ambiguities and conflicts now found in our statutes and which are the cause of much confusion. “5. We declare that the substitu- tion of boards, commissions, and bu- reaus for the courts in the settlement of disputes involving property rights is inimical to the best interests of the individual citizens and should be dis- couraged. “6. We favor the re-distribution of the burden of taxation so as to re- Heve tangible, real and personal prop- erty from the confiscatory burden that is cast upon it under the present system, and urge our legislative body to labor toward the attainment of that end. We particularly urge the legislative body to give immediate constleration to the proposition of diverting and pro-rating to the school districts of the state funds now raised through income and indirect taxa- tion, so as to assure the maintenance of our public school system. Raps ‘Wholesale’ Initiative “7. Until such a time as agricul- ture is re-habilitated and a reason- able degree of prosperity attained by cur people, the general policy of the state government should be, as far as possible, to dispense with all activities of government that are not neces- sary. “8, We disapprove of the wholesale submission at a general election of ini- tiated measures covering a variety of subjects, such as was recently pro- posed by the Republican candidate for governor, as being a violation of the spirit of the initiative and refer- endum and as being an abuse of such principles calculated to lead to con- fusion of issues and to the enactment. of poorly considered and ill-advised legislation. “9, In the enactment of laws, we believe the legislature should ever bear in mind that agriculture is the pasic industry upon which the pros- ‘perity of. all our people depends, and |tnat legislation calculated to foster jand promote that industry should al- ways be encouraged. “In that the purchasing powers of our people cannot be fully restored until the Republican leaders are oust- ed from power in national affai and thereafter ‘agriculture re-habili- tated under Democratic leadership; and since in the meantime we must function as a state only as our de- pleted resources will permit, the sane Policy at this time can only be one of retrenchment; this platform has ac- cordingly been promulgated along those lines and we pledge our candi. dates to carry it out in accordance with its spirit and declared intent.” MINOT MAN NAMED FRAZIER SECRETARY Robert Larson, U. S. Deputy Marshal, Will Begin New Duties Next Week Minot, N. D., Aug. 4.—()—Appoint- ment of Robert Larson, United States deputy marshal at Minot, as secretary to United States Senator Lynn J. Fra- zier of North Dakota was announced Thursday. The appointment of Larson, a son county pioneers living at Drady, is effective next Monday, when the new secretary will leave for Washington to assume his duties. A deputy marshal to succeed Lar- son in Minot has been selected by U. S. Marshal O. Gunvaldsen of Fargo, but he is absent from that city Thursday, and announcement of the appointee probably will not be made until Saturday. En route to Washington,* Larson will stop at Detroit Lakes, Minn., to confer with Senator Frazier, who is spending a short time there with his Washington until next fall. Born in Ward county, Larson has the North Dakota Agricultural col- lege at Fargo and Concordia college at Moorhead, Minn. Both in state and local politics, Larson has been active for many years. He has managed several Ward county campaigns for the Nonparti- san league. Four years ago, he was active in the county and northwest- ern North Dakota in support of Hoover for president. For six years he was chairman of the Ward county Republican central committee. At the present time he is a member of the Nonpartisan league state executive committee, and is secretary of the group. He plans to resign from the committee.

We reaffirm our faith in the} fundamental principles of the Repub- lican party and express our unswerv- ing confidence in the ability of the Rept'.can party, under the leader- ship of President Hoover, to success- fully pilot the nation through the present economic crisis. We specifi- cally endorse the platform of the Re- publican party adopted by the Chi- cago convention and appeal to the citizens of the state and nation to rally to support of the Republican party and its standard bearers in the coming national campaign. “2. We commend President Hoo- ver for the patient, courageous and constructive manner in which he has dealt with the many extraordinary is- sues that have resulted from the pres- ent national and world-wide economic depression; for his effective assist- ance to agriculture; for his distinc- tive service in the cause of world peace and naval disarmament; and for the wise and farsighted manner in which he has, on several critical occa- sions, aided the principal nations of Europe in their desperate struggles to maintain financial solvency and orderly government during this world crisis. “3. We specifically commend Pres- ident Hoover for his successful nego- tiations of the St. Lawrence seaway fulfilled his pledge made to the peo- ple of the middle west four years inland waterway improvement. Approve Relicf Program “4, We specifically approve of the president's emergency relief program, ing: “A. The creation of the reconstruc- recently adopted by congress, includ- jas flax, mer and fall of 1931 and spring of 1932 by over 10,000 farmers the drouth-stricken counties of thé state, exceeding the sum of $2,700,000, and the federal seed appropriation of 1932, which aided nearly 40,000 North Da- kota farmers with crop production in the sum of $8,400,000. This liberal as- sistance has been the means by which thousands of farmers have, been en- abled to remain on the farm, winter their livestock, plant another crop, and rehabilitate themselves in normal agricultural production. See Tariff Benefits “7, While the Hawley-Smoot tariff bill passed by congress in 1930 and approved by the president, does not; afford agriculture that full measure of protection needed in the present. economic emergency, nevertheless, its duties on various agricultural products subject to foreign competition, such livestock, dairy products, wool, spring wheat, etc., are about 30 per cent higher than those in any previous tariff law, and, therefore, has afforded a measure of protection for such products in this crisis with- out which such products undoubtedly would have suffered severely from for- eign competition. “Notwithstanding the Hawley- Smoot tariff act, American agricul- ture, and particularly the dairy indus- | 7’ try, is suffering from imports from the Philippines. This condition should be corrected. In order to adequately protect American agriculture, we rec- ommend that congress supplement the existing tariff law by providing duties on all agricultural commedi- ties imported from the Philippine Islands which compete with the pro- ducts of American farmers in the American market. “We approve the flexible provision of the present tariff law, under which the president has the power, upon the recommendation of the tariff com- mission, to raise or lower any tariff rate fixed in the law, and we strenu- ously oppose the measure recently passed by congress and vetoed by the president designed to take such au- thority from the president and vest it in congress. Since the adoption of rate not more than 50 per cent of the} THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 1982 the flexible provision in the tariff law, the authority of the president to raise or lower tariff duties has always been exercised in the protection of agriculture. “8. We call attention to the com- prehensive economic rehabilitation program inaugurated by President Hoover and authorized by congress, to deal constructively with the finan- cial crisis which now confronts the nation; to the fact that neither the Democratic party nor its leaders have prepared any. specific plan of action different from that sponsored by the president, but on the contrary, have, in substance, endorsed his program; and, that, therefore, the principal is- sue in the national campaign is whether a Republican or Democratic executive shall carry out the relief measures already inaugurated by the present administration. In these cir- cumstances, we urge the supreme wisdom of continuing in force the present administration, and not trust- ing to new and uncertain. leadership the great responsibility of carrying to a conclusion the fight against depres- sion so successfully initiated by Pres- ident Hoover.” TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY specializes in combination waves, spiral tops with ringlet ends.
