The Only Candidate to Declare His Principles in Plain United States Language
In announcing my candidacy for the United States Senate,
subject to the Republican primary, I desire to state that I be
lieve in:
ROADS
"The continuation of federal aid on highway construction
by the passage of the Chamberlain bill or similar legislation,
giving an advantage to the large public land states, in order to
avoid federal aid discontinuing with this year's appropriations.
"The enforcement of the Wadsworth-Kahn -bill providing
for the distribution of excess war equipment to the states in
stead of its sale at reduced prices to favorite contractors and
manufacturer
RECLAMATION
"The consolidation of all government engineering work in
a department of public work "with a qualified official in charge,
as provided in the Jones-Reaves bill, instead of the present sys
fpiTt of mnnv departments of government performing the same
kind of work rnd the restarting of the reclamation of land un
der this nenartment. The preparing of plans of government
ork wll in advance so that it may be greatly increased in
times n degression.
"The cbanj? in the present nolicv of the federal rovern-r-int
in m.nkinrr rb'rect appropriations for rivers and harbors in
ast but recmirine- the return, with interest, of all federal
funds nent on the reclamation of land.
"The securing of federal assistance for the reclamation of
lands pr.d control of flols in the valleys of the Gila and Colo
rado rivers nvd their tributaries; the cost of anv large recla
mation project is less than the price of one battleship.
LABOR
"The need of the stimulus of high wages and hard work to
earn these wages, in order to increase production that all may
have plenty.
"The appointment of a national board of arbitration to en
lighten public opinion as to the merits of each side in industrial
disputes and to suggest settlement, but not in compulsory arbi
tration, which is unenforcible against either labor or capital
without slavery or confiscation.
"The open shop, i. e., the retention of the right of emnlov
0T3 to hire and fire and employes to work or quit individually
or collectively.
"The rieht of employes to form unions and other employes
to ioin them or not, at the dictation of their own conscience.
ARMY AND NAVY
"The democratizing of the army and navy. A small stand-
17 ovpur'of soldiers, not servants. A large number cf officers
whose military education shall be supplemented by actual ex
perience in civil affairs in the control of men engaged in trans
portation, construction, handling supplies, etc.
"The payment of wages in the army and navy equal to
those received by equally skilled civilians.
EX-SERVICEMEN
"The passage of the Fordney American Legion bill to part
ly recompense ex-service men for the gross injustice shown in
the pay given to them in comparison with that received by war
.workers employed by the government which, while requiring
every sacrifice of the men in service, announced that it would
so pay its workers that they would be exempt from the necessity
of curtailing their personal requirements in the general reduc
tion necessary to this nation.
"The principle that superior to this blanket assistance to
ex-service men is the immediate realization by the government
of its responsibility to intelligently look after those chosen by
fate to make the special sacrifice to their country of their
strength and health. It will not be well for our land when the
next call comes if these are continued to be neglected. The
healthy ex-service man is not afraid to fight for his livelihood in
life's battles without more than an even chance but those sick
and injured," while retaining their courage, have lost in'the ser
vice of our country, their ability to compete in the daily struggle
for existence.
"In protecting the government from fraud in its assisting
those entitled to its help, by giving publicity to its actions in
the community in which the recipient lives.
'The immediate allotment to the Indians oi me iana uiu.v
can
elimination of the control of business and finance by politicians.
"The expose to the public, and prosecution of profiteers
wherever possible.
TAXATION
ei
m use. The opening to settlers and prospectors, giving pref
.fln0 ov-cprvif p men. of the remainder of the Indian Reser-
vations, instead of leasing these lands to the Iriencis ot me
politicals in power in large tracts for long terms, or in holding
tins land idle to provide for unborn generations of Indians.
BUSINESS
"Preferential, duties on articles imported in American
ships or some similar subsidy to continue until American mer
chant marine can compete with foreign nations in the carrying
of American products.
"Preferential tolls for American ships through the Ameri
can built Panama canal.
"Restriction of government activities in industrial and
commercial pursuits where supply and demand are natural and
competition prevails.
"Elimination of price fixing by the government which has
resulted in limiting production and exorbitant prices to the
American consumer.
"The putting of business methods in government and the

'The non-exemption of national, state, county and city of
ficials from taxes or other obligations of citizens.
"A tariff that will make America a self-sufficient nation
in an emergency and which will as well produce revenue with
the least cost of collection.
"The abolishing of taxes (which under any system, finally
fall upon the consumer), which in addition to the taking of
funds from the taxpayer, require much of his time and atten
tion to comply with the law and necessitates an expensive force
to make these collections.
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
"The immediate declaration of peace to conform official
actions to actual conditions.
"The protection, by the government, of American citizens
anywhere on earth.
"The formation cr amendment of the league of nations so
that its action will be judicial rather than executive, in con
formity with the actions of a majority of the United States
senate.
"The right of the present citizens of the U. S. to select from
the people of the world, those immigrants most fit for Ameri
can citizenship, and to deny to others the permission to inherit
with our children the country created by our fathers.
"I believe that the president and the senate of the United
States, both created by the United States constitution, cannot
by treaty delegate their authority to a foreign tribunal nor trans
fer our allegianceto the edicts of a foreign congress without
the consent of the American people. Governments are toler
able to a free people when they are regulated by the laws passed
and enforced by their peers and equals. America, which threw
off the yoke of foreign control nearly a century and a half
ago, will not again seek it.
"I further believe that the composite American is better
physically, mentally and morally than the average citizen of
any other nations; as an example to mankind of what can be
done, he is a more potent benefactor to the human race than he
would be by sharing his all, under the orders of a league of na
tions, with the masses of the world's population, whose num
ber is so great that our generosity would be insignificant when
so divided."
THOS. MADDOCK.
