I Platform of Democratic Party Pledges Dry Law Enforcement; Flays G. 0. P. for Corruption ; I NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JUNE 29, 1928, TEXT OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY PLATFORM ADOPTED AT HOUSTON Opposition Hotly Scored for Donging Relief for Farmers—Party Would End Labor Injunctions— Foreign Policy Improve- ments Advocated and Pleas for World Peace Made. Houston, June 29 (P —The text of the platform submitted by the reso- lutions committee to the Democratic National convention follows: We, the Democratic party in con- vention assembled, pause 1o pay our tribute of love and respect to the memory of him who in his life and in his official actions voiced the hopes and aspirations of all g0od men and women of every race and clime, the former president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson. His spirit moves on and his ex- amples and deeds will exalt those who come after us as they have in- spired us. We are grateful that we were privileged to work with him and again pay tribute to his high ideals and accomplishments. We reaffirm our devotion to the principles of democratic government formulated by Jefferson and en- forced by a long and illustrious line of democratic presidents. We hold that government must function not to centralize our weulth bhut to preserve equal opportunity so that all may share in our priceless resources; #hd not confine prosperity to a favored few. We, therefore, pledge the democratic party to en- courage business, small and great alike; to conserve human happi- ness and liberty; to break the shackles of monopoly and free busi- ness of the nation; to respond to popular will. The function of a national plat- form is to declare general principles and party policies. We do not, therefore, assume to bind our party respecting local issues or details of legislation. We, therefore, declare the policy of the democratic party with regard to the foHowing dominant issues: The Rights of the States We demand that the constitu- tional rights and powers of the states shall be preserved in their full vigor and virtue. These consti- tute & bulwark against centraliza- tion and the destructive tendencies of the republican party. We oppose bureaucracy and the multiplication of offices and oftice holders. We demand a revival of the spirit of local scif-government without which free institutions cannot be preserved. Republican Corruption Unblushingly the republican party offers as its record agriculture pros- trate, industry depression, American shipping destroyed, workmen with- out employment, everywhere dis- gust and suspicion and corruption unpunished and unafraid. Never in the entire history of the country has there occurred in any given period of time or, indecd, in all time put together, such a spec- tacle of sordid corruption and un- abashed rascality as that which has characterized the administration of federal affairs under ecight blighting years of republican rule. Not the revels of reconstruction nor all the compounded frauds succeeding that evil era, have approached in sheer audacity the shocking thieveries and startling depravities of officials high and low in the public service at Washington. From cabinet minis- ters, with their treasonable crimes, to the cheap vendors of official pa- tronage, from the purchasers of seats in the United States senate to the vulgar grafters of the disabled veterans of the World war;from the givers and receivers of stolen funds for republican campaign purposes to the public men who sat by silent- ly consenting and never revealing a fact or uttering a word in condem- nation, the whole official organiza- tion under republican rule has be- come saturated with dishonesty de- fiant of public opinion and actuated only by a partisan desire to perpetu- ste its control of the government. As in the time of Samuel J. Til- den, from whom the presidency was stolen, the watchword of the day should be: urn the rascals out.” This is the appeal of the democratic party to the people of the country. To this fised purpose should be de- voted every effort and applied every resources of the party; to this end every minor difference and non-es- sential issue should be put aside and a determined and a united fight be made to rescue the government from those who have betrayed their trust by disgracing it. Economy and Reorganization The democratic party stands for efticlency and economy in the ad- ministration of public affairs and we pledge: (a) Business-like reorganization of all the departinents of the gov- ernment. b) Elimination of waste and overlapping. (c) Substitution of modern busi- ness-like methods for existing obso- lete and antiquated conditions. No economy resulted from the re- publican party rule. The savings they claim take no account of the elimination of expenditures follow- ing the end of the World War, the large sums realized from the sale of war materials, nor its failure to supply sufficient funds for the effi- clent conduct of many important governmental activities, Finance and Taxation (a) The federal reserve system created and inaugurated wunder democratic auspéses is the greatest duplication, legislative contribution to construc- tive business cver adopted. The ad- ministration of the system for the advantage of stock market specula- tors should ceasc. It must be admin- istered for the benefit of farmers, wage earners, merchants, manufac- tur and others engaged in con- struction business. (b) Th xing function of gov- ernments, free of despotism, has for centuries been regarded as the pow- er above all others which requires vigilant scrutin to the be not excrcised for the purposes of favor or oppression. Three times since the World War the democrats in congress have favored a reduction of the tax bur- dens of the people in face of stub- born opposition from a republican administration; and each time these reductions have largely been made for the relicf of those least able to endure the exactions of a republi- can fiscal policy, The tax bill of the ion recently ended was delayed by republican tactics and juggled by partisan considerations o as to make impossible a full measure or relief to the greater body of tax- payers. The moderate reductions af- |forded wero grudgingly conceded |and the whole proceeding in con- gress dictated as far as possible from the White House and the treasury, denoted the proverbial desire of the republican party always to discrim- inate against the masses in favor of privileged classes The democratic party avows belief in the fiscal policy inaugu ed by the last democratic admini stration, which has provided a sink- |ing fund sufficint to extinguish the nation’s indebtedness within a rea- sonable period of fime, without har- |assing the present and next succeed- |ing generations with tax burdens, which, if not unendurable, do in fact check initiative in enferprie and pro- gress in bu Taxes levied be- {vond the actual requirements of the |1ezally established sinking fund are |but an added burden upon the American people, and the surplus thus accumulated in the federal |treasury is an incentive to the in- creasingly extravagant expenditures which have characterized republican administrations. We therefore, favor a further reduction of the internal {taxes of the people Taritt its iness. The democratic tariff legislation will be based on the following poli- cies: (a)—The maintenance of legiti- mate business and a high standard of wages for American labor. (b)—Tncreasing the purchasing power of wages and income by the reduction of those monopolistic and | extorionate tariff rates bestowed in | payment of political debts. | (c)—Alolition of log-rolling and restoration of the Wilson concep tioikof a fact-finding tariff commis- sion, quasi-judicial and free from the excentive domination which has destroyed the uscfulness of the | present ' commission. (d)—Duties that will permit ef- fective competition, insure against | monopoly and at the same time ! produce a fair revenue for the sup- | port of government. Actual differ- ence between the cost of production at home and abroad, with adequate |safeguard for the wage of the “.\mt-rh.m laborer, must be the exs | treme mueasure of cvery tariff rate. (e)—Safeguarding the publie against monopoly created by special arift favors | (f)—Equitable distribution of the benefits and burdens of the tariff among all. Wage carner, farmer, stockman, producer uand legitimate business in general have everything to gain from a democratic tariff based justice to all Civll Service Grover Cleveland made the exten- sion of the merit system a tenet of | our political faith. We shall pre- serve and maintain the civil servi Agriculture Deception upon the stock raiser has been practiced by the republican party through false and delusive promises for more than fifty years. Specially favored indus tries have buen artificially aided by | republican legislation. Comparative- Iy little has done for agricul- ture and stock raising upon which national prosperity rests. Unsympa- on farmer and thetic inaction with regard to this problem must cease. Virulent hos: tility of the republican administra- tion to 1he advocates of farm relief nd denial of fhe right of farm or- ganizations to lead in the develop- ment of farm policy must vield Jo democratic sympathy and friendli- ness, Four years ago, the republican party, forced fo acknowledge the eritical situation, pledged itself to take all steps necessary to bring back a balanced condition between agricuiture and other industries and labor. Today it faces the country not only with that pledge unredeem- ed. but broken by the acts of a r publican president who is primarily responsible for the failure to offer a constructive program to restore equality fo agriculture. While he had no constructive and adequate program to offer in its stead, he has twice vetoed farm re- lief legislation and has sought to jus- tify his disapproval of agricultural legislation partly on grounds wholly inconsistent with his acts making industrial monopolies the beneficiar- ies of government favor: and in in- dorsing the agricultural policy of the present administration the re- publican party in its recent conven- tion served notice upon the farmer that the so-called protective system is not meant for him: that while 1t offers protection to the privileged few, it promises continued world prices to the producers of the chief cash crops of agriculture, We condemn the policy of the re- publican party which promises relief to agriculture only through a reduc- end that it | CONNECTICUT DELEGATES AT M.

Smith on Such a program means the continued deflation of the of additional millions from the farms and the perpetuation of agricultural distress for years to come, with con- tinued bad effects on business and labor throughout the United Si The democratic party recognizes that the problems of production dif- fer as between agriculture and in- dustry. Industrial production is largely under human control, while agricultural production, because of lack of coordination among the 6,- 000 individual farm units, ause of the influence of weather, pests and other causes, 1s largely he- yond human control. The result is that a large crop frequently is pro duced on a small acreage and a agriculture, small crop on a large acreage; and measured In money value it fre- auently happens that a large crop brings less than a small crop Producers of crops volume exceeds the needs of the do- mestic market must continua at a disadvantage until the government shall intervene in behalf of labor and industry. There is a need of supple. mental legislation for the control and orderly handling of agricultural surpluses, in order that the price of the surplus may not determine the price of the whole crop. Labor has benefited by collective bargaining and some industries by tariff. Agri- culture must be as effectively aid- ed. The democratic party in its 1924 P form pledged its support to such legislation. It now reaffirms that stand and pledges the united efforts of the legislative and executive branchés of government, as may he controlled by the party, fo the immediate enactment of such legislation, and to such other steps as are necessary to place and main- tain the purchasing power of farm products and the complete economic quality of agriculture.

Weo favor an equal wage for equal service; and likewise favor adequate appropriations for the women's and children's bureau.
