The present form Of government is
a cooperative effort, by the trust, to
live in luxury and plenty from the toll
of the many.
What should government be? A mu-
tnal understanding and cooperative
effort by all for the preservation. Of
all, and the curling of the power Of
greed to usurp the wealth from those
who need.

ticians' side show for some time with
