that General Lee would not have accepted

An argument which touches the pocket
nerve always sends an electric thrill
through the body polite. One Of the
strongest arguments In favor Of con-

certain reforms In our State Government
would save at least a half-million dollars
to the taxpayers every year. In face OF
this fact. the objection that the con-
vention would cost $4,000 loses its force.
The matter stands thus: IT. by spending

saving OF $4,000 per annum in our
State expenses. why should we hesitate
to make the comparatively trivial outlay?
