the situation as they are. No attempt
will be made in this article to defend
Capitalization, as we think the farm

progressive In all other matters of
benefit to farmers are too intelligent
by far to need to be told what cen-
tralization means to- a township, and
we know they have only to go to
Powell of Delaware county to find
the theory fully demonstrated, and
Waldo township farmers are never
behind the times in any good thing.

Certainly ii is a measure OF great
importance, and this fact should not
be lost sight of by men of both po-
litical parties who desire to serve the
state.
1t is of such great importance that
1t should not be enacted into law
without careful consideration.
Such consideration is given to no
proposed bill which Is discussed with
the bitterness which has marked the
scramble to secure the votes of mem

The duty OF each democratic mem

At the same time ii Is possible that

their larger duty is to avoid further
