A very slight consideration of the above
state of affairs will show how difficult IL
was at times to keep the issue clear. for
honest and dishonest men were continu-
ally found side by side voting now
against and now for corporation meas
ure, the one set from proper and the other
set from grossly improper motives. OF
course. part of the fault lay I'm the atti-
tude OF outsiders. IL was very early
borne in upon me that almost equal harm
was done by indiscriminate defence of and
ndiscriminate attack on corporations. 1t
was hard to say whether the man who
prided himself upon always antaGonizing
the corporations or the man who, on the
plea that he was good conservative, al
ways stood up for them was the more
mischievous agent Of corruption and de-
moralization.

which the corporation, either from WICK

OF corporations there were also some that
