| the black flag of rebellion against
the cherished ideals of the people
1t is an axiom of political econ
omy that government is as good
as the component parts thereof,
but when the people found a gov
ernment upon the theory that
officials are servants, selected
solely to carry out the will of the
people and find tnas the servants,
instead of carrying out the Will
of the people, persistantly carry
out the orders of predatory COM
binations, we can but conclude
that the fault lies primarily with
the officers and not with the sys-
TEN.
The system of selecting repre-
sentatives and senators to enact
laws under constitutional guaran
tees, can fail of it's purpose only
when Legislators are corrupted or
misled Unfortunately, some legis-
lators are corrupted and many mis-
lead and if we could do away
with corruption and incompetency
the system would function to the
satisfaction of all lovers of popu-
lar government.

and made common cause for their
mutual benefit. This combination
has known no party politics; it
has controlled all political organ
.izations and bent nearly all off
cials to its will. In return for
support for the educational insti-
tutions and these corporations,
governors and senators have elect
ed, predaceous bills enacted into
burdensome and unjust laws and
the body politics debauched, while

creased in arithmetical ratios.
1t is not the representatives
and senators who select the pre-
siding officers of the house and
senate, but the interests, nor dc
the officers when so selected, in
turn select the standing commit
tees. Having named the presiding
officers, the combination also
names the controlling members OF
the committees, and their ap-
pointment by the presiding Off
Ger is mere form. Having con-
troll of the presiding officers and
the standing committees the pro-
cedure- is as simple as it is effi-I
cient-all legislation against the
interests is defeated; all in its ia
vor, passed.
1t was never intended by the
people, that such power, the right
to exercise which is found not in
law, but in parliamentary proceed
ure, should rest in the hands of
two men. That it does rest there
is certain; and until the members
take the appointment of standing
committees out of the hands of
the presiding officers and select
the committees by majority vote
of the Legislators, there will be no
reform.
