Platform Pledges for Montana Democrats in 1919 Convention
Democratic platform announcements in Billings in 1919 call for equal taxation on individuals and utilities, protections for child labor laws, women's rights and citizenship, extended rural telephone service, cooperative farming, and a budget system. It supports farm loan laws, weights and measures, improved grain inspection, education funding, teacher pensions, highway and irrigation projects, and water use reform to develop natural resources. The document urges federal and state collaboration on St. Lawrence improvements, labor camp sanitation, standardized fuels, tax exemptions for homesteads and personal property, and revision of workers compensation plus creation of a vocational institute for injured workers. It ends with a pledge to reduce inequality and pursue a prosperous, peaceful America.
