Says Public Meetings Are a Benefit.
To the Editor of The Gate City:
Yes, the meetings being held to
discuss city affairs are of greatest
benefit to the city and people of Keo-
kuk. for no other reason than
to show the independent, pro-
gressive spirit and interest of
the people in their city, and
It's affairs The initiative and refer
endum have come to stay, and by
these assemblies, the people become
educated in their uses and benefit, and
how thereby to control and manage
their local affairs. There is no fear
of the people when progressive and
fully informed. The initiative is only
a return to the old town meetings of
our forefathers, and will prevent IL
legality of action, graft and bossism.
