ion and to oppose actively what they
believe to be harmful lawmaking.

Let them strive, patiently and persistently, to gain the confidence of
the people for their methods and their aims.

Let them meet false or irresponsible or ignorant assertion with plain
and truthful explanation. Let them take their case directly to the
people--as the railroads have been doing of late with very encouraging
results--and inaugurate a campaign of education in sound economics,
sound finance and sound national business principles.

Let business men do these things, not sporadically, under the spur of
some imminent menace, but systematically and persistently.

Let them be mindful that just as the price of liberty is eternal
vigilance, so eternal effort in resisting fallacies and in disseminating
true and tested doctrine is the price of right lawmaking in a democracy.
