The Senate of Nation and State
should be abolished, and not mere
than congressman allowed to State
with our population, and one represen'
tatiye from county like Madison
Our senates were fashioned after the
house of Lords of England, which body
has long become obsolete, snd has been
threatened with abolition. 1t is so
stagnant that the peers who inherit its
mem bership seek to evade It, prefer
ing seat in the active house of COM
mons where the kingdom is ruled.
Why should the people 'be burdened
with so many officials who are not
only utterly useless but an actual OBJ
struction to legislation. Mississippi's
legislature Will cost her about 300, 900,
when one-fourth the men and price
would accomplish betteroresults. Our
States national representatives cost
about $50, 900 session. The amounts
are paid-the first out of our state tax,
which we all pay; and the national sal
aries are paid out of taxes we all pay
the Federal government as tariff on
all we use from tooth-pick to a steam
engine. The money is not such great
consideration if we got value received
for it, but we do not Legislatures are
or ought to be business bodies What
would bank or commercial corpora
tion do with three or four hundred d.
rectors-would any business men be SO
unwise as to act in such manner, or
would they get any business done or
be successful. Too many fingers al
ways spells the broth Wrangle, dis
cord and bad business will always re-
suit from such procedure. The more
officers you have the more fools you
are bound to get and consequently the
less wise laws and benefit. The nearer
YOU approach to one man power and
the better you will fare
md the more judiclous you will be in
your selection.
