APPEAL TO IDAHO VOTERS
In the platform of the republican party and the nominees for the legislature from the 49th legislative district, be instructed to advocate the ownership of farm lands, horses. Undoubtedly the most radical departure ever attempted in this country, from our American form of government as provided by our constitution, is embodied in the following resolution adopted by the nonpartisans of the republican county central committee after securing control of the republican county central committee. The resolution says:
"It is resolved that our state committee be instructed to have placed state ownership of cattle and machinery and that the same be acquired on the basis of value for the three years immediately preceding the war."
"Do you as a citizen of the United States realize what this means? The success of this proposal means the establishment of socialism in its most advanced form in this nation. It means the overthrow of every principle of our American form of government. This step is the forerunner of complete state ownership of property and industry. If carried out, it means that the rights of the individual are completely swallowed up by the state. It means that in the future there would be no private ownership of property. It means that labor of the individual would be used to operate everything in the name of the state. There would be no individual profit, other than enough to pay rent on property held from the state. Any profit there might be would go to the state to maintain the political machine."  .
