of. the individusl, whatever his colcondition.
| We abhor the totalitarian idea of man merely as one of A mass without individuality and we shall never cease to fight that and all such unAmerican concepts, actually designed to centralize power in one man or group of men, WORLD AFFAIRS
Without & strong, healthy, solvent United States of America, constantly attending to necessary distinctions between rights and duties, there can be no security in this country or in the world, We indorse the recent statement of the Republican members of congress on these questions which is in part as follows: “We support the United Nations Organization for international peace. We look with particular hope to the general assembly as the “town meeting of the world’ wherein the organized conscience of mankind shall find effective expression in behalf of peace with justice. “We support the indispensable inter-American system as a regional part of the international organization. “We advocate ultimate international agreements to stabilize military establishments. We demand open diplomacy, at home and abroad, and free communication throughout the world.” NATIONAL AFFAIRS
For thirteen long years we have been wallowing in a hodgepodge of “emergencies,” some real. but most imaginary. The people have been lead by fear and the congress bullied and driven into enacting unsound legislation that has built up an all-powerful bureaucracy, regimented the people, and exploited classes among them. This program has continued until today. a real emergency exists— a crisis that demands the attention of every thoughtful American eiti-
‘zen if we are to vontinue ag.a na-
tion that has set the example for the world of nations for a eentury and 3 half. We deplore political tactics that result in class consciousness and strife. We onpose those who would destroy us through continuance of such strife.
It noon today by the 2129 conin the Coliseum at. the state
govérnment. The state is better able
tical | YO keep the unemployment compen-
sation law and its administration in line with the needs of Indiana people than is any federal bureau in Washington, LABOR We will continue the well grounded, friendly policy of the Republican party toward labor, recognizing its unrestricted right to organize as well as to bargain collectively. We believe that all possible service and assistance should be given to labor and management on a strictly Iair and impartial basis by maintaining a sufficiently staffed division of labor. We favor appointing recognized representatives of labor on all {boards, or commissions, dealing with labor matters, and we will continue to do so. We will oppose any “legislation designed to restrict the rights of | workers to act collectively for the | betterment of their economic con- | ditions.
FARMERS The Republican party in Indiana {is proud of the splendid record of {farm legislation sponsored by. the | Republican administration and
| Passed by the 1945 general assembly. We have pledged stability of farm [Prices without subsidies during the {reconversion and readjustment pers {jods. We will carry out those pledges. We will support sound, permanent proposals to give farmers expanding ‘markets and their fair share of the national income. We deplore the New Deal blundering and muddling in the allocation and diversion of essential foods, materials, supplies and farm equipment which are now jeopardizing the food supply of our nation. FREE ENTERPRISE AND SMALL . BUSINESS Recognition must again be given to the roll of free government as an arbiter, an umpire and a guarantor. It must protect the weak and play fair with the strong. There must be opportunity for all those who prefer to own and manage enterprises of their own, rather than to work for others. EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY Human beings must be equal before God and man. There must be | equality of opportunity to “get ahead” for all races and creeds. Every individual must have tne {chance to prosper according to his
|
tant, Jew, native-born or a naturalized foreign-born citizen. VETERANS A grateful nation demands that those who fought in Its defense, their widows and orphans, must never, be forgotten. The best of | medical care and rehabilitation, education and training must be given to all veterans desiring them Assistance in securing homes, farms, businesses, and real jobs, must Ye provided. We are determined that the State of Indiana shall meet its obligations to all veterans to the full extent of its ability. HOUSING Every facility of the government must be used to provide homes for veterans without delay, FEDERAL TAXES The first duty of congress as to taxes is to reduce the cost of government to the lowest possible point, consistent with wise and | economical furnishing of ‘essentil {governmental services, balancing {our budget and meeting the present staggering national debt. : UN-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES There are individuals and groups in our ‘country who encourage racial and religious discord and class conflicts. We condemn as un-Ameri-

the excellent work it has accomplished during the past year. : PUBLIC HEALTH A good start has already been made toward the extension of the

can those who ignore our Constitu[tion and seek to divide our people by promoting religious, racial or class hatred. STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT We join the good citizens of Indiana in praising the present state; administration which took office in {January, 1945. The leadership of | Governor Ralph F. Gates has com{manded the approval not only of our own people but of advocates of sound, progressive government throughout the nation. ! In like manner the record of. the 1945 legislature was outstanding for the scope and wisdom of the legislation enacted, economy of ils appropriations and its co-operation with “the executive department. The present state judiciary made | up as it is of high-minded, able jurists has likewise made a splendid record of sound decisions and ex- { pedition of business. | It is possible here to mention but a few of the accomplishments of these govarnmental departments. ADMINISTRATION
The Republican state administration is making a careful survey of the practices of our state government as inherited from former administrations, which survey has re- ! vealed numerous weaknesses, inefficiency and extravagance, For example to pay approximately 95, different kinds of state collected taxes and fees, Indiana taxpayers

SOCIALIZED MEDICINE We pppose the proposed socialise zation of the practice of medicine as an invasion of the rights of our people by regimentation of an honorable profession, LIQUOR CONTROL Following the repeal of prohibition an ugly alliance was made for obvious purposes between the Democratic party, then in power in our state, and certain liquor interests. That alliance continued until our party was able to redeem its platform pledge of 1938 by ending the vicious importer racket in the 1939 legislature. In later sessions, as the power was given us, we have further strengthened our liquor |laws until we enacted the liquor lcontrol act of 1945,

PERSONNEL We approve the personnel act of the 1941 Republican legislature and ‘reaffirm our belief in this important step toward ‘more efficient and economical government. This law should be retained and extended as practicable. ; ELECTIONS The code of election laws enacted by the 1945 legislature is a longdeferred and much needed step in clarifying these laws.
