THE Appeal and Avalanche have
recently contained some very able and
we might say unanswerable editorials
against the 1903 bill. Representing a
commercial community, and taking an
intelligent, comprehensive view Of the
situation, these papers enter vigor-
GUS protest against the proposed out
rage. Time will vindicate tSe sound
ne;s of their arguments. 1t is N all
probability too late to oppose or aVsrt
the passage CT this bill. We
we're prepared for some stretch of
privilege aud power, but not for such an
unconditional surrender to the bond
holders as this. If our respected CO.
h,mporaries had been aroused a little
so,,ner and come to the aid Of the
LEDGER we might have elected the
demo,,ratic nominees in this county to
the legislature, and through their in
Huence the .monstrous scheme about
to be carried into effect might have
been defeated. 1t is useless to talk
Of what might SaEo been" but we
cannot help regrett'pg that the
vital issues in the late canvass we're
overlooked or misunderstood, and that
some of our best political Srd personal
friends were led off aud helped to lead
the people away from deliberate con
sideration Of the real questions IN
waived. False issues were dragged
into the canvass, and many well mex9-
ing peo,2 pie switched eff to run after
them. A legislature is supposed to
represent the people whO elected it,
Lut we have sna now that is doing the
bidding of the bnn6boldcrS, utterly re-
Eardless of the wishes, hsbts and 10
terasts of the PEOPLE.
