A Better Way.

In view of the disgraceful scramble for office now going on among hungry Democrats, the Benton Review suggests a commission to weed out the unworthy ones. There are better ways. One is to give to the people the selection of those who are to serve them. Another and better way, is to reduce the sal.aries to the amount that can be earned in the industries by the same talent. The enormous profits arising from office holding has corrupted our whole political system, and the People’s party is the only party that demands the reduction of fees and salaries. Let us insist upon this righteous measure.
