We pledge the Republican party to a continuation of improvement in education wherever possible. We shall do this with due regard not only for our children and educators but also for the taxpayer and the duty of the state to provide other essential services for the public, the platform reads. , On the touchy subject of federal aid to education the platform suggests that if any federal aid is provided for the several states, allotments should be granted only on the basis of demonstrated need and inability of a state to provide its own educational facilities. We believe that the educational proprom of our state belongs to the people and should be determined by them, and that we should avoid any semblance of federal control or regulation of educa13-pla- one-thir- d 1956 August 10, 1956 Vol. 10; No. 31 13-pla- Editorial ne Ike's Health Still Are Republicans Over - Confident?

Reclamation The reclamation plank commended the present administration for its foresight and advancement in reclamation projects. Reclamation is the life blood of Utahs future. The successful completion of the Colorado River Project depends upon the Party and the Administration which obtained the approval of the Project the Republican Party, the platform reads. Highways The platform pledged support to continued efforts to improve roads and to make good highways available in all parts of the state on the basis of need. Industrial Development In industrial developments, the platform concludes that under Republican leadership in Utah the income' of Utahs rapidly growing work force has increased substantially as mineral production and manufacturing facilities have grown. We favor free enterprise principles as the best means of preserving incentives for industrial growth and believe that this policy combined with our natural resources, additional water supplies, and the ambition and industry of our people will provide a favorable background for continued industrial expansion and larger payrolls in Utah. Other planks in the platform discussed labor, agriculture and livestock, taxation, fish and game, tourists, state affairs, natural resources, protective tariffs, and health and welfare.
