Issues Presented to
People

A student of public affairs
and a lawyer of national repu-
tation who has the background
OF long experience on which to
base his opinion and judgment,
says:
my observation leads me to
believe that on the whole it was
a good thing for the country that
Senator La Toilette was a candi-
date for President on the plat
form which he dictated. His pro-
posal for the government to buy
or condemn the railroads and op-
crate them and his proposal to do
away with the power of the Unit
ed States Supreme Court to de-
clare an act of Congress uncon-
stitutional have really been con-
sidered by the people as they
never would have been without
the issues being Joined and it
seems to me that the issues have
been settled and settled right. If
esuch be the fact, is not the
country rather indebted to SEN
ator La Toilette than endangered
by his radical proposals"
There is truth in this state
ment. People never prize their
possessions until some move
ment is started to deprive ther
of the same.
Let the people be informed
upon basic principles Of business
and government and they will
apply the rule to local questions
and state and national issues
when they arise. \
