"The evil in the corrupt control OF
a Congress OF a Legislature by private
interest is manifest and always calls
for condemnation. But there Is an
ether kind of legislative abuse as
dangerous to public veal In certain
of its aspects as corruption. and that
IS the selfish combination OF the repre-
sentatives of the majority for the con
stituencles to expend the money OF
the government for the temporary
benefit of part or with little benefit
to the whole It Is the duty OF the
majority and the minority to legislate
always for the benefit of the whole
people, and any enactments that look
to the selfish exploitation Of less than
the whole at the expense of the whole
and without benefit to the whole is
q species of legislative abuse that
comes very near corruption in hts Ell
feet, and is perhaps more dangerous
than corruption, because those VINO
