We demand that the "responsible relatives" clause be eliminated from Kansas law.
We pledge to meet every Federal increase in payments under the Social Security Act.
Labor—We pledge the repeal of all legislation restricting the freedom of employees to organize and bargain collectively.
We favor legislation providing a retirement benefit program for employees of Kansas municipalities.
We favor representation of those receiving payments under the law in the membership of the Social Welfare Board charged with the administration of the law.
We believe in adequate payment to widows and dependents of deceased employees and increases in other benefits of the law. Present benefit payments of the Workmen's Compensation Act are shamefully inadequate.
We favor broadening the law to cover occupational diseases.
We advocate a minimum wage law for Kansas industries. Kansas will not tolerate the development of industry at the expense of labor thru substandard working conditions or rates of pay.
We insist on legislation prohibiting the employment in industry of any child under the age of 16. We condemn the present practice of employment of children under "sweat shop" conditions.
Fair Employment Practices—We recommend legislation enforcing fair employment practices in Kansas.
We are opposed to all forms of discrimination based upon race, color, or religion.
Juvenile Delinquency—We favor improvement and recidification of the statutes covering juvenile delinquency to include the establishment of a children's bureau to handle cases of first child offenders rather than processing such cases through any court.
Agriculture—We recommend state aid to Kansas farmers in the marketing of their products. This must include the development of a state marketing, distributing and grading service. Farmer-managed cooperatives should be given every encouragement.
We advocate adequate aid to farmers to enable them to own the farms they operate. The recent trend which has reduced by 14,000 the number of farms in Kansas must be ended.' Kansas youth must not be driven from the soil.
We favor the development of industries in the towns of Kansas to
