How to make the best of governments by ever-lowering taxes? How to perfect a "civil service" by burdening officials, lessening fees and salaries, abolishing patronage, and sealing salaries below the pay of similar private employ? How to better education and thereby check this stream of "learned ignorance"? How to reach the consummation of the best government because the least governed? How to reform our judiciary until justice between men shall be nearly instantaneous and the next cheapest thing to air and water? How to save the weak (the majority) from the strong and selfish? How to be the freest and therefore the best people that have ever lived? How to prevent crime and suffering by removing causes? How to destroy this struggle for government employ, this passion to be a public parasite and live off of others' toil? How to make and regulate nearly all government institutions upon the principle of our postal system--self-supporting by the voluntary tax from those who use its powers or its offices? How to eradicate all this flunkeyism that makes idols of office-holders--mere fetiches producing a species of the lowest order of hero-worship--a nation of snobs who can meanly admire mean things? How to call out statesmen and abolish demagogues? How to understand that real statesmen repeal and never enact? How to prevent governments from inflicting upon the innocents unspeakable wrongs, under the monstrous plea that the few must suffer for the good of the many? These and similar questions that are as deep as life itself, and that should come even to our little children in their romps and plays, the same as they learn to avoid the pit, or to fear a vicious dog, are the vital problems of mankind. These are questions essential to the preservation of life, and touching the progress of civilization; the natural economic problems that real statesmen should set before the people. Intelligent study and voting upon these and similar questions would give us real statesmen for present demagogues.
