And, moreover, we demnml that admission be henceforth denied to all Immigrants who nre unworthy to slinro In the opportunities op-portunities which this country affords or nre Incnpnhle of assuming nml exercising ex-ercising the obligations of good American Ameri-can citizenship, Wo urge the netesslty of providing by law for the sntUfactory.solutlou of (llfferences'MirlsIng between capital and labor; such us 'will furnish a rell-ablc rell-ablc basin of settlement for both parties par-ties to the controversy anil protect the vital liiforestw of the general public. At the Hiiinc time we recognlc the fact that poorly paid, underfed nml overworked labor becomes n liability to the community and that the iiiiin who works with his hands Is entitled to a fulrjsliaie of what he produces. Capital also must be assured of steady ami dependable service, and be nl-lowed nl-lowed to operate without unwarranted Interruption ; otherwise the whole fabric fab-ric of our Industrial system will come apart. The only fair exchange In the field of American Industry Is nn honest hon-est day's pay for iiu honest day's work. We urge the enactment of such federal fed-eral legislation ns will Improve nnd make more wholesome Hie field for child labor nnd recommend n careful Investigation on the part of the federal fed-eral government nt Hie necessity for and possible benefits to be derived from uu actual maternity Insurance act. Service Men's Aid Urged. 'We profoundly sens Ihe country's obligations' to the service men nnd women of Hui great war, and urge tip on congress that It manifest Its gratitude grat-itude In part at least by Immediately reestablishing n sound unit permanent leclnmatloii policy and appropriating sufficient fundi for'theispeedy completion comple-tion of the government nfQjfeH already al-ready projiosed or now under'way; such legislation to guarantee preference prefer-ence rights for filing on or purclias'c of these lands to servlru men ami women, wo-men, and to provide In addition foe the extending ut liberal leaps to assist them In tire Toelninn'tlnii and Improvement Improve-ment of (lie homesteads thus acquired." Morover wo suggest the advisability 'of (;onertliiK,n substantial portion. 'of. our foiclgn loans, or the Interest tic- ( rheil therefrom, Into funds' to he tie-Mited tie-Mited to smh purpose. We demand an lmmeilate curtailment curtail-ment of governmental extravagances and the 'waste of public funds, and heartily commend mil senior senator, lteed Smiiiit, for Ids uncompromising stand for an economical unit efficient admliilstrat'.ou of federal affairs, mul for Ids untiling ef foi Is to effect u substantial reduction of the tav burdens bur-dens now resting heavily on Ihe people ami a more ispiltablo apportionment of the same. Also we demand a speedy return of constitutional government, such as will enable each coordinate brunch or agency of the federal government to function In Its own proper channel without undue or unwarranted Interruption Inter-ruption or luterfereiue on the part of another, and we demand the prompt lepeal of such extraortllnnry war measures us will result In the Immediate Immedi-ate return to the people themselves of those certain powers and privileges which we surieiidered for wnr purposes pur-poses and no other. Ami as to a matter of Immediate concern to our own state, we declare In fin or of and demand nn early revision re-vision of our school and tax laws, such as will make possible the payment to public school teachers of salaries commensurate com-mensurate with their sen Ices. |
