contrary. expect good results this
winter. The elections eliminated

organization of both branches.
They kept intact the law-making
machine thru which the special in
ters SITS had operated continuously
for years. They successfully op-
posed every attempt TO reform the
Cannonized system of legislation.
New members were brought into
the combination, often innocently,
by the lure of local appropriations
and the various forms of good fel-
lowship, which will be explained
with specific examples in the course
of this correspondence. The "cor-
poration cabinet" has, in times
past, gone farther in the task of
controlling a sufficient number to
make things easy for themselves
and the corporations. These more
extreme means might be indicated
by the four designations, "bo-
quets.' "banquets'', bribery,
and "blackmail''. each represent
ing a stage or degree in the devel-
opment of a machine. My study of
governmental conditions has con-
WINGED me that the property power
in politics, working always with
and thru professional politicians,
uses this same system everywhere.
It is the big congressional model,
adapted to every state legislature
and to every large municipal coun-
Gil in all the land. 80.
Another lamentable characteristic
of the last and previous sessions can
best be described as ''leg pulling"
In recent years the big corporations
have been contributing less and less
to the support of legislators, and as
this source of revenue has grown
lean. a gang of greedy members
have organized and perfected a
more or less profitable side line.
Bills aimed at certain corporations
or business men would be intro:
duced for the express purpose of
being killed. The "killing", of
course, would depend upoo the
manner in which the interest or
individual thus held-up, met the
terms of these modern statesmen
| shall not deal with ancient history
in this connection. but it is not at
all improbable that the session just
beginning will supply some inter-
esting examples of this legislative
pastime.

enough at this time to know that
the greater number of experienced

Among the most important fund.-

Surely the farmer the home the store keeper
taxed high enough and they might have let tax law enacted

All taxation laws spring from the people, and here

Not the professional Grange politicians seemed to be
stirred up about their baby effort being stranged in it's cradle
by implication the process of getting laws ditched
But why not committee to investigate and apply the recall

Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 50O
grains of impure matter daily, when
unhealthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp-
toms-pain in the back, headache,
nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma-
tism. gout, gravel, disorders of the
evesight and hearing, dizziness,
irregular heart, debility, drowsiness,
dropsv. deposits in the urine, etc.
But if you keep the filters right you
will have no trouble with your kid
neys.
