you must always be on the alert, watchful Of
these safeguards that you have produced for
yourselves and social well-being of the country;
always watchful for the selfish interests so that
when you are not on your guard, they are not
destroyed by amendments or by repeal.
You are interested in every public question
that affects the welfare of this day as directly
as any other citizen or any other business in
the land. Now here is one thing you are inter
ested in; in the wages of toll. You appreciate
the fact that there is no excuse for the existence

essity for the protection of the weak again the

Of the Government because it can bear down
upon the weak, and can oppress the weak,
