Affirming that our past performances of fifty years of achievement is the best guarantee to the country of our fu- ture fulfillment that our usefulness will depend. _ Thérefore, we pledge to the country it the Republican party shall cotic:..ue to be the iristrument in this Nation to apply to new eon- ditions and to changing conditions $0. | Today’s Anniversaries | Qn es ee 1716—Abnef Nash, Nofth Carolina the wisdom of experience and the efficacy of honest, zealous service.

Concerning the great and Piatform says: In this country today there is for every individual and for every political party but one supreme duty, and that is te win the war. Every action of the Republican party in State and Nation shall be determined solely by how we can add most to the sum total of war good. The loyalty of the Republican party always has been and forever shall be measured only by the pos- sibilities. The Republican party heralded its own birth by saving the life of the Nation, and from that hour to this moment has been a party of patriotism. In Congress and in the country the party has led in the perform- ance of duty without evasion or reservation. In, Congress, Republicans haye given their votes, often YA met ing votes, for the grant of every power and all the mon¢y demanded by the administration. In this course of action they will persist without wavering or shadow of turning. The fect that the party in power refused to prepare for war in 1914 and 1915 has not lessened the sup- port by the Republicans in Con- gress, who so strongly urged it. To that refusal was no doubt due the fact that war found us wholly un- prepared, and by that lack of prep- aration thousands of lives and bil- lions of dollars have, been wasted. The most unjust and unpatriotic efforts in many quarters for politi- cal purposes to preyent the full participation by Republicans in war activities has had no effect what- ever on the Republican party's pat- riotic and loyal membership in its giving to the last of its blood and its treasure. And wé will continue so to give, to strive, to fight and to die,, until victorious American arms have forever ended the intol- erable arrogance of a scientifically trained brutality, and we have a conclusive peace with victory; to all of hwich we wholly pledge our- selves. This is the war of no political party. This is the country’s war, and we charge and deplore that the party in power ié guilty of practic- ing petty partisan politics to the serious detriment of the country’s caus We insist that this cease, and we appeal to all patriots, whatever their politics, to aid us in every way possible in our efforts to require that partisan politics be taken out and kept out of the waf manage- ment. In this emergency we call upon all men and women to support the Government without thought of party. We insist that every individual who is placed in a position of re- sponsibility in this war shall be of tested and proven loyalty and abil- ity, regatdless of politi¢al affilia- tions. We hereby denounce any criti- cism of public officials, high or low, when such criticsms are -in- spired by partisanship, malice .or disloyalty. As courageotis and service is to be defended gainst malice, so should dourage- ous and loyal criticism of corrup- tion of incompetency be defended; and all men, who in their patriotic #ood judgment offer suc) sympa- - thetic suggestion and constructive criticism, will be fair enough and broad enough to commend where commendatjon is due. We insist that every possible ef- ficient instrument, man and ma- terial, which is available, shall be used tu aid in winning the war and that inefficiency shal) be replaced by efficiency wherever found.

From Other Pens \GREATER SUMS NOW APPRO RIATED THAN NEEDED oO} | 0 P- The list of “luxuries submitted by the treasury department to the house ways and means committee and the senate finance committee possible features for taxation in the new war revenue bill is the subject of consid- erable criticism on the part of mem- bers of thé senate finarice commit- tee. It was freely predicted today by some of the senators that on a great number ofthese so-called lux- uries no taxes would be levied. It wasc insisted that it is not necessary to tax the retail sales of clothes, do- mestic servants and many of the oth- er suggestions listed by the depart- ment. Smoot Opposes Plan Senator Smoot of Utah, Republi- can declared that many of the sug- gested taxes would not be adopted. “I can fell you one thing,” He said, “and that is the revenues are not going to be raised thru such taxes as are included in the list sent to the| senate committee by the treasury de.) partment. Many of those taxes are| taxes not upon luxuries, but upon ne-| cessities, when the present high cost of everything one buys is taken into consideration. Take the proposed tax or suits of clothés for men cost- ing more than $40. Under the pres- ent high prices you can’t buy an or- dinary suit for any stch ices. Yet they would have us term thesé things \Iuxuries.

In his letter to his father, young Littlefield states that they have had a few skirmishes with Germans, and that,all thé boys are anxious to get into the fray and have the war over as soon as possible.
