Clarifying be- yond a doubt bis interpretation of the platform of the Republican party in the coming election, Governor Landon, the nominee, with the forth- Tightness and honesty which has characterized his participation in public affairs, dispatched the following telegram (in part) to the Republican National convention before his nomination: "Under the title of labor the platform commits the Republican party as follows: 'Support the adoption of state laws and interstate compacts to abolish sweat shops 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.' "I hope the opinion of the convention is correct, that the aims which you have in mind may be attained within the Constitution as it now stands. But if that opinion should prove to be erroneous, I want you to know that, if nominated and elected, I shall favor a Constitutional amendment permitting the states to adopt such legislation as may be necessary adequately to, protect women and children in the matter of maximum hours, minimum wages, and working conditions.. This obligation we can not escape.. ine convention advocates a sound, currency to be preserved at all hazards.' I agree that 'the first requisite to a sound and stable cur rency is a balanced budget The second requisite, as I view it, is a cur rency expressed in terms of gold and convertible into gold. I recognize, however, that the second requisite must not be made effective until and unless it can be done without penalizing our domestic economy and without injury to our producers of agricultural products and other raw materials. - "The convention pledges the party to the merit system and to its resto ration, improvement and extension. In carrying out this pledge I be lieve that there should be included within the merit system every position in the administrative service be low the rank of assistant secretaries of major departments and agencies, and that this inclusion should cover the entire postoffice department "ALFRED M. LANDON." status. Strikes at Dictatorship of New Deal; Landon's Pcsiticn Clear. Cleveland. Ohio. Almost a complete reassertion of the Con stitution of the United States, in the face of three long years attack upon it by the New Dea was the platform adopted by the Republican National convention " here. To Its restatement of the Amer ican principles of a national liberty based upon personal liberty was added the rigor of a telegram from Gov. Al fred SI. Landon of Kansas, makin clear his. interpretation of certain 1m portant planks as the unanimously selected nominee of the party for the Presidency. The platform roundly condemned the New Deal for the President's usurpa tion of the powers of congress; flaunt ing the Supreme court; violation of citizens' liberties; countenancing dan gerous monopoly ; passing laws con trary to the Constitution; violation of the Bill of Bights, and repudiating the sacred obligations and traditions of the nation. It deplored federal waste and- - use of, public funds, to political ends; unfair investigations; intlmida tlon of industry; coercion of voters appeals to class prejudice and destruc tion of public morale. A summary of the platform follows: Constitutional Government and Free Enterprise We pledge ourselves: 1. To maintain the American system of Constitutional and local self gov ernment, and to resist all attempts to Impair the authority of the Supreme court of the United States, the final protector of the rights of our citizens against the arbitrary encroachments of the legislative and executive branches of government 2. To preserve the American sys tem of free enterprise, private competition, and equality of opportunity. . i The only permanent solution of the unemployment problem Is the absorption of the unemployed by Industry and agriculture. (To this end, the platform advocated abandonment of all New Deal restrictive, competitive and coercive policies especially those which restrict production.) Relief. j To end confusion, partisanship, waste and incompetence, we pledge: 1. The return of responsibility for relief administration to local agencies familiar with community problems. 2. Federal grants-in-ai- d 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 o. states and local governments; (b) all engaged in relief administration to be selected on r'ae basis of merit and fitness; (c) adequate provision to be made for the encouragement of .those persons who. are trying to become 3. Undertaking of federal public works only on their merits and separate from the administration of relief. 4. A prompt determination of the facts concerning relief and unemployment. Security. We propose a system of old age security, based upon the following prin ciples: 1. 2. Every American citizen over o. sixty-- should receive the supplemen tary payment necessary to provide a minimum income sufficient to protect Aim or her from want .... 8. Back state and territory, upon complying with simple and general minimum standards, should receive from the federal government a graduated contribution in proportion to Its own, np to a fixed maximum. 4. To make this program consistent with sound fiscal policy the federal revenues for this purpose must be provided from the proceeds of a direct tax widely distributed. All will be benefited and all should contribute. We propose tc encourage adoption by the states and territories of honest and practical measures for meeting the problems of unemployment insurance. Labor. We pledge ourselves to: Protect the right of labor to organize and to bargain collectively through representatives of its own choosing without Interference from any source. Prevent governmental job holders from exercising autocratic powers over lnbor. ,,. 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. Following the wreck of the restrictive and coercive AAA, the New Deal administration baa taken to Itself the principles of the Republican policy of oil conservation and land retirement. This action opens the way for a and permanent solution. Such a solution cannot be bad under a New Deal administration which misuses the program to serve partisan ends, to promote scarcity and to limit by coercive methods the farmer's control over his own farm. Our paramount object Is to protect and foster tb family type of farm, traditional In American life, nnd to five Fruit Thinning: Advised Trophies For Camera or Gun Tariff. Cleveland, Restore Liberty! a The advisability of thinning fruit at all, depends upon the market and the conditions of the tree, says Dr. A. L.

We will repeal the present reciprocal trade agreement law. We will restore the principle of flexible tariff. We will adjust tariffs with a view to promoting international trade, the stabilization of currencies, and the attainment of a proper balance between agriculture and industry. We condemn the. secret negotiation of reciprocal trade treaties without public bearing or legislative approval. low-wag- y Monopolies. We favor the vigorous enforcement of the criminal laws, as well as the civil laws, against monopolies and trusts and their officials, and we de mand the enactment of such additional legislation as is necessary to make It impossible for private monopoly to exist in the United States. Regulation of Business. We recognize the existence of a field within which governmental regulation is desirable and salutary. The author ity to regulate should be vested In an independent tribunal acting under clear and specific laws establishing definite standards. Their determinations on law . and facts should be subject to review by the courts. We favor federal regulation, within the Consti tution, of the marketing of securities to protect - Investors. We favor, also federal regulation of the Interstate activities of public utilities. Civil Service. ...,. We pledge ourselves to the merit system, virtually destroyed by. New Deal spoilsmen.

Especially ZIP! . . g We never voted for Norman Thomas although he has several times run for the presidency. However, he has brought public attention to some, thing which his undisputed honesty and sincerity and informed position makes us sit up and take notice of. It appears that the Rev. Claude C. Williams 41, of Little Rock and Miss Willie Sue Blagden 29, of Memphis were on their way to Earle to conduct the funeral service of a strikwho had been beating share-croppen to death. The pair claimed that they were seized and flogged by a band of six men, and have marks to show for it. Suppose they were going m principally to investigate? Any situation in America which can't stand the light of private investigation had better have some federal searchlights focused. For sometime it has appeared that there is something rotten in Ark. If Chicago and ' New York can mand a higher price than smaller sized fruit. By reducing the total number of fruits per tree early in the growing season an increase in 't$7.t results to those remaining on the tree. The sooner the thinning of fruit Is done after June drop the better the : . results as a general rule. This year, however, there is pres ent in some sections serious damage from hail. On trees that weie not thinned earlier there is often enough fruit set to allow the removal of .the fruits mosi injured by hail and still leave a good crop. Although the cont of thinning may seem high, it should be remembered that the fruit must be picked at harvest if not thinned earlier and that it costs more to nan- die a cull fruit when harvesting than thinned fruit. It should also be made clear that the material going into a cull fruit would make lanrer first grade fruits if the culls were re moved early in the season. If prove? thinning is practiced no reduction in total yield results and the quality of the crop is greatly improved by the thinning operation. In other fruit growing sections thinning is a standard operation as is pruning, harvesting, and spraying in Utah. Many Utah growers have thinned their fruit for a number of years and are still doing it with full .intentions to continue the practice. They claim it is a paying proposition and just as important as spraying. The number of fruits removed in thinning will depend upon the vigor of the branch thinned. A vigorous branch with healthy green leaves can mature to good size more fruits than a weaker growing branch. Each branch must be considered separately when thinning. Under average conditions about 50 leaves per fruit in peaches and apples will be sufficient to make good size., Thirty to forty leaves per fruit will produce a good sized fruit although somewhat smaller than when a larger number of leaves, per fruit is left Take off all small, injured, and ir--: regular fruit first when thinning. If there are still too many fruits left remove some of the normal specimens. Gather and burn all insect or disease infested fruit while thinning to reduce the pest population. Thin now if you have not already, done so. . er It safe for outsiders and insiders to come and go in an atmosphere of justice why should Arkansas be above a little clean-u- p ? We believe the Chris tian citizens of that state will welcome the opportunity to have righted what is wrong and stand open and above board, fair and spare before the country.
