...Lastly, you read an editorial clipping which stated that Toronto, where the government owns the electric plants, supplies electricity at the rate of two cents per kilowatt hour; while in Alabama, electricity is produced in a government plant at less than two cents per kilowatt hour and then sold by this government plant for eight cents. Does not the Democratic program, of government ownership of the generating plants, with distribution by private companies mean that consumers will be forced--as they now are in Alabama--to pay an enormous profit to the distributing companies?

But there is a mile of the Charles that forgets its urban surroundings, and is still part of a Harvard education...
With all their disadvantages, the old panaceas for more courts, more Supreme Court justices, divisional sittings, have been revived since the Great War. Failing a Lord Chancellor (equivalent to a Ministry of Justice), leadership for reform is unofficial, and the less effective. Constant reform, however, is inevitable: "Law and courts are instruments of adjustment...
