DOUNENT INVITES SUPPORT OF ALIN | ELECTION CAMPAIGN Farm Proposal Approves Con- servation Efforts; Pledge to Cut Government Cost Cleveland, June 12—()—The text of the Republican platform follows: The platform of the Republican Party, 1936. America is in peril. The welfare of American men and women and the future of our youth are at stake. We dedicate ourselves to the preservation of their political liberty, their individ- val opportunity and their character as free citizens, which today for the first time are threatened by government itself. For three long years the New Deal administration has dishonored Amer- ican traditions and flagrantly betray- ed the pledges upon which the Demo- czatic party sought and received pub- lic support. The powers of congress have been usurped by the president. The integrity -and authority of the supreme court have been flaunted. The rights and liberties of Ameri- can citizens have been violated. Regulated monopoly has displaced free enterprise. People’s Rights Usurped The New Deal administration con- stantly seeks to usurp the rights re- served to the states and to the people. It has insisted on the passage of laws contrary to the constitution. It has intimidated witnesses.and in- terfered with the right of petition. It has dishonored our country by repudiating its most sacred obliga-/ tions, It has been guilty of frightful waste and extravagance, using public funds for partisan political purposes. It has promoted investigations to harass and intimidate American citi- zens, at the same time denying in- vestigations into its own improper ex- penditures. It has created a. vast multitude of new offices, filled them with its favor- ites, set up a centralized bureaucracy, and sent out swarms of inspectors to harass our people. Depression Prolonged It has’ bred fear and hesitation in commerce and industry, thus discour- ageing new enterprises, preventing employment and prolonging the de- pression. It secretly has made tariff agree- ments with our foreign competitors, flooding our markets with foreign commodities. It has coerced and intimidated vot- ers by withdrawing relief to those op- posing its tyranical policies. It has destroyed the morale of many of our people and made them depend- ent upon government. Appeals to passion and class pre- judice have replaced reason and tol- erance, i To a free people, these actions are | insufferable. This campaign cannot be waged on the traditional differ- ences between the Republican and Democratic parties. The responsi- bility of this election transcends all previous political divisions. We invite all Americans, irrespective of party, to join us in defense of American in- stitutions. CONSTITUTIOAL GOVERNMENT AND FREE ENTERPRISE We pledge ourselves: 1. To maintain the American sys- tem of constitutional and local self government, and to resist all attempts to impair the authority of the su- preme court of the United States, the final protector of the rights of our citizens against the arbitrary en- croachments of the legislative and executive branches of government. There can be no individual liberty without an independent judiciary. 2. To preserve the American sys- tem of free enterprise, private com- petition and equality of opportunity, and to seek its constant betterment in the interests of all. REEMPLOYMENT The only permanent solution of the unemployment problem is the ab- sorption of the unemployed by tin- dustry and agriculture. To that end, we advocate: Removal of restrictions on produc- tion. Abandonment of all New Dea! poli- cies that raise production costs, in- crease the cost of living, and thereby restrict buying, reduce volume and prevent unemployment. . Encouragement instead of hin- drance to legitimate business. Withdrawal of government from competition with private payrolls. Elimination of unnecessary and ham- pering regulations. Adoption of such other policies as will furnish a chance for individual enterprise, industrial expansion and the restoration of jobs. RELIEF The necessities of life must be pro- vided for the needy and hope must be ‘ restored pending recovery. The ad- ministration of relief is a major fail- ure of the New Deal. It has been faithless to those who most deserve our sympathy. To end confusion, partisanship, waste and incompe- tence, we pledge: “ 1. The return of responsibility for relief administration to non-political local agencies familiar with commun- ity problems. 2. Federal grants-in-aid to the states and territories while the need exists, upon compliance with these conditions: (a) A fair proportion of the total relief burden to be provided from the revenues of states and local govern- ments, a (b) All engaged in relief adminis- tration to be selected on the basis of merit and fitness. (c) Adequate provision to be made for the encouragement of those per- sons who are trying to become self- 3) ting. Aga ee of federal public works only on their merits and separ- ate from the administration of re- lef. 4. A prompt determination of the facts concerning relief and unem- ployment. SECURITY Real security will be possible only when our productive capacity is suf- ficient to furnish a decent standard of living for all American families and to provide @ surplus for future needs and contingencies. For the! attainment of that ultimate objective, | we look to the energy, self-reliance and character of our people, and to our system of free enterprise. Society has an obligation to pro- mote the security of the people by affording some measure of protection against involuntary unemployment and dependency in old age. The New Deal policies, while purporting to pro- vide social security, have, in fact, en- angered it. ‘We propose a system of old age se- curity, based upon the following prin- ciples: 1, We approve @ pay-as-you-go policy, which requires payment of what is just and adequate. 2, Every American citizen over 65 should receive the supplementary Payment necessary to provide a mini- mum income sufficient to protect him or her from want. 3. Each state and territory, upon complying with simple and general minimum standards, should receive from the federal government a grad uated contribution in proportion to its own, up to a fixed minimum. 4. To make this program consistent with sound fiscal policy the federal revenues for this purpose must be vided from the proceeds of a direct tax widely distributed. All will be benefited and all should contribute. We propose to encourage adoption by the states and territories of honest and practical measutes for meeting the problems of unemployment insur- ance. The unemployment insurance and old age annuity. sections of the pres- ent social security act are unwork- able and deny benefits to about two- thirds of our adult population, in- cluding professional men and women and all those engaged in agriculture and domestic service, and the self employed while imposing heavy tax burdens upon all. The so-called re- serve fund estimated at forty-seven billion dollars for old age insurance is no reserve at all, because the fund will contain nothing but the govern- ment’s promise to pay, while the taxes collected in the guise of pre- miums will be wasted by the govern- ment in reckless and extravagant political schemes. LABOR The welfare of labor rests upon in- creased production and the preven- tion of exploitation. We pledge our- selves to: Protect the right of labor to or- ganize and to bargain collectively through representatives of its own choosing without interference from any source. Prevent governmental job holders from exercising autocratic powers over labor. Support the adoption of state laws and interstate compacts to abolish sweatshops and child labor and to protect women and children with respect to maximum hours—minimum wages and working conditions. We believe that this can be done within the constitution as it now stands. AGRICULTURE The farm problem is an eco- nomic and social, not a partisan probiem, and we propose to treat it accordingly. Following the wreck of the re- strictive and coercive A.A.A., the New Deal administration has taken to itself the principles of the Republican policy of soil conservation and land retirement. This action opens the way for a non-political and permanent solu- tion. Such a solution cannot be had under a New Deal adminis- tration which misuses the pro- THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, JUNE 12, 1936 remove these institutions from 10. To provide, in the case of agricultural products of which there are exportable surpluses, the Payment of reasonable benefits upon the domestically consumed portion of such crops in order to make the tariff effective. These payments are to be limited to the Production level of the family type farm. . 11. To encourage and further develop cooperative marketing. 12. To furnish government as- sistance in disposing of surpluses in foreign trade by bargaining for foreign markets selectively by countries both as to exports and imports. We strenuously oppose so-called reciprocal treaties which trade off the American farmer. 13. To give every reasonable assistance to producers in areas suffering from temporary dis- aster, so that they may regain and maintain a self-supporting status, TARIFF Nearly 60 per cent of all imports into the United States are now free of duty. The other 40 per cent of im- ports compete directly with the pro- duct of our industry. We would keep lon the free list all products not grown or produced in the United States in commercial quantities. As to all com- modities that commercially compete with our farms, our forests, our mines, our fisheries, our oil wells, our labor and our industries, sufficient protec- tion should be maintained at all times to defend the American farmer and the American wage earner from the destructive compétition emanating from the subsidies of foreign govern- ments and the imports from low-wage and depreciated-currency countries. We will repeal the present recip- Trocal trade agreement law. It is fu- tile and dangerous. Its effect on ag- riculture and industry has been de- structive. Its continuation would work to the detriment of the wage earner and the farmer. We will restore the principle of the flexibile tariff in order to meet chang- ing economic conditions here and abroad and broaden by careful defi- nition the powers of the tariff com. Is Text of Republican National mission in order to extend this policy along nonpartisan lines. We will adjust tariffs with a view to Promoting international trade, the stabilization of currencies, and the at- tainment of a proper balance between agriculture and industry. We condemn the secret negotia- tion of reciprocal trade treaties with- out public hearing or legislative ap- proval, | MONOPOLIES A private monopoly is indefensible and intolerable. It menaces and, if continued, will utterly destroy consti- tutional government and the liberty of the citizen. We favor the vigorous enforcement of the criminal laws as well as the civil laws, against monopolies and trusts and their officials, and we demand the enactment of such additional legis- lation as is necessary .to make it im- possible for private monopoly to exist in the United States, We will employ the full powers of the government to the end that monopoly shall be eliminated and that free enterprise shall be fully restored ‘and maintained. 4 REGULATION OF BUSINESS We recognize the existence of a field atform in government service to young men and women of ability, irrespective of Party affiliations. GOVERNMENT FINANCE The New Deal administration has been characterized by shameful waste ‘and general financial irresponsibility. It has piled deficit upon deficit. It threatens national bankruptcy and the destruction through inflation of insurance policies and savings bank deposits. We pledge ourselves to: Stop the folly of uncontrolled Spending. Balance the budget—not by increas- ing taxes but by cutting expenditures, drastically and immediately. Revise the federal tax system and coordinate it with state and local tax (systems. Use the taxing power for raising revenue and not for punitive or poli- tical purposes. MONEY AND BANKING ‘We advocate a sound currency to be preserved at all hazards. The first requisite to a sound and stable currency is a balanced bud- get. We oppose further devaluation of within which governmental regula- | ‘the dollar. tion is desirable and salutary. The We will restore to the congress the authority to regulate should be vested | “thority lodged with it by the con- in an independent tribunal acting un- | Stitution to coin money and regulate der clear and specific laws establish- | the value thereof by repealing all the ing definite standards. minations on law and facts should be subject to review by the courts. We favor federal regulation, within the constitution, of the marketing of secur- ities to protect investors. We favor also federal regulation of the inter- State activities of public utilities. CIVIL SERVICE Under the New Deal, official au- thority has been given to inexperienc- | > ed and incompetent persons. The civil service has been sacrificed to! create a national political machine. As a result the federal government has never presented such a picture of con- fusion and inefficiency. We pledge ourselves to the merit system, virtually destroyed by New Deal spoilsmen. It should be restor- ed, improved.and extended.
