A J. J Weber of Salt Lake presided at the convention as temporary chairman chairman chairman chair chair- man and delivered the keynote ad ad- dress Mr Weber said The Democratic party does not come before the people with promises only only only-it It comes with promises fulfilled and pledges redeemed with deeds not words During the three years of President Woodrow Wilsons Wilson's administration more progressive legislation has been secured for the benefit of the country than durIng durIng during dur dur- ing fifty fitly years of Republican adminis adminis- Referring briefly to some o of the splendid splendid eplen- eplen did achievements of this administration the great milestones marking the road of three years of progress there Is first The Underwood tariff law the best the fairest and most equitable tariff law the country has ever had It has Injured no legitimate Industry It was not prepared prepared prepared pre pre- I pared by the trusts It was opposed by bythe bythe bythe I the beneficiaries of special privilege It was conceived in fairness justice and righteousness Its authors s sought only the good of all nil and their purpose has been achieved The economic changes brought about by the world war are so momentous that the Democrats In order to meet conditions condl- condl may rs i be that advisable may arise rl to make and ie ieh changes h will refer that ra the It subject to a nonpartisan tariff commission commission commission commis commis- sion which will be provided soon and which will make an Impartial study of ev every ry detail and furnish accurate Information Information information mation to congress and as a result the tariff tarl question will be removed from politics Income Tax As part of the Democratic tariff law we have the income tax The constitutional constitutional constitutional amendment that ma made le the Income tax possible was opposed by Judge Hughes and a few other reactionary Re Republican RepUblican Republican Re- Re publican governors whose names do not now occur to me one The income tax Is meeting with such universal approval by bythe bythe bythe the people that even the Republican candidate candidate candidate can can- for the tho presidency has not sized it it though with microscopic eye he has sought for Democratic mistakes which he might safely condemn and hold holdup holdup holdup up to public scorn and ridicule Federal Reserve Act The federal reserve a act t the greatest constructive J legislation a in a generation de A replaced I Jt the antiquated f fossilized fossilised lI panic panic- breeding banking and currency system of Republican days Under the old system the money lords always always- threatened hard hardtImes hardtimes hardtimes times under a Democratic ocr administration and they had the power to execute the threat Panics like the bankers' bankers panic o of 1907 could be produced whenever desired by the money trust Now no one ono fears a panic no one fears financial troubles As an illustration of one of the benefits of the now Dew system I cito the well known fact that when everything is prosperous and business active that Interest rates are high and ordinarily when Interest Is iA low business Is sta stagnant nant To Today v we witness the spectacle of low interest and business prosperity This federal reserve act is real currency currency currency cur cur- rency reform and marks the prompt accomplishment accomplishment accomplishment ac ac- ac- ac by the tho Democratic party of what the Republicans had promised during a quarter of a a. century Clayton

can be no arbitrary imposition of punishment punishment punishment punish punish- ment but if not in the presence of ot the court the accused shall have havo the right of trial by jury In part the Utah Republicans have indorsed this bill bili though our representatives representatives representatives In congress opposed its adoption g Omitting tt the e vital part t of trial by jury 1 Ya 7 they say In substance a t that they are in favor v o of enacting to in Utah ii the provisions i d of the e Clayton I law applying p to labor and the greater part of their plank on that subject is actually a copied f from the Democratic Democratic Demo Demo- cratic national ti platform To the tho extent i t of their Indorsement of the labor provisions provisions provisions pro pro- visions of the Clayton act they condemn and repudiate both the eminent senators from Utah Government by injunction has been abolished government by law has been su substituted t And then there is that grand declaration declaration declaration declara declara- tion in section six of the tho Clayton antitrust antitrust antitrust anti anti- trust law That the labor of a human being is not a a. commodity or article of commerce The worker has a mind a aheart aheart aheart heart and a soul and his labor power is not property like corn or 01 beef or coal In his address at the dedication of the labor labori i temple at Washington July 4 1916 President Wilson said with hl his JJ usual clearness Mr Gompers was referring Just now to o the sixth section of the tho Clayton antitrust antitrust antitrust anti anti- trust law the section in which the tha obvious is stated namely that a mans man's labor abor Is not a commodity but a part of his ils life and that therefore the courts must not treat It as 88 if it It were a commodity com com- but must treat it as if it were a part of his life I am sorry that there were any ny Judges in the United States who had to b bo ba told that It is so obvious that hat It seems to me that that section of the Clayton act were a return to the primer of human liberty but if th the t judges have to have a the primer r opened ned gi iOa before t them I am willing t to open I it Rural Credits Only ten Republicans vot voted d against the I rural credits or fe federal eral farm loan loin act in the he house and only five in the senate yet the ho Republicans with
