session. Agitation. however, should 20
on; otherwise public attention will turn
to something else and the country at
large is hard to reach and slow to move
Propositions for changes in the form
of government should and would be re-
ferred to the committees of judiciary
and not to the committees on the Hiy-
trict of Columbia. and would be very
unlikely to obstruct legislation against
the gas company. The surest wav to
save the city from the gas company

the people power to vote on their gas

The people should study this whole
