Town Meeting VS..
Pressure Groups
BY RUTH TAYLOR

The fundamental weakness of
Democracy is its vulnerability to
pressure groups, demanding special
concessions or special protection
for their own interests. Time and
again we have seen the devasting
effect of these groups upon our
political and economic structure,
for pressure groups breed intol-
erance both from without and
within.
What we need are fewer pres
sure groups and more town meet
ings. 1t is hard for pressure
group to thrive in its own COM
munity, IL discussion is open.
There is nothing so tongue-tieing
as the steady stare of those who
know you And there is nothing
more debating to the ego than
the common sense barb in neigh
boris homely phrase.
In a democracy no one class
or group should ever aim to be
in control, for the American form
Of Government was designated to
do away with class. The best
defense of America is strong,
educated. informed citizenry. And
the best way to keep them In
formed is through the town meet
The Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1931-1952, 1947-06-11

ing.
The town meeting gives the
opportunity for men and women
to hear authoritative statements,
to join in open discussion. This
is an American way of life, as
opposed to the pressure group
which is the personification of
gang rule. This is the way to
unity, not to riffs within the house
of the nation. The Government
may be the pilot, but 1t is the
people who run the ship.
The town meeting is the ideal
of democracy for in it the people
can talk out their many problems,
with all sides presented so that
men can make their own conclu-
sions and learn something of their
neighbor's view. If men are free
to talk. they can more clearly
crystalline their own thoughts.
They can learn to see their case
as others see it, and there is
time for compromise and change
before the heat of combat.
A true democracy is an express
sion of identity of interests of
all the people. The ideal of a
democracy is not people merely
tolerant of one another. but of
people working together without
regard to class, race, creed or
color. To keep this ideal before
the people there is no better
way than the town meeting. This
is the American way.
