Here is the story of an individual whose political and social example should have been of the greatest importance to every citizen of the United States.
He was the mayor of one of those dreary New England mill towns in northern Massachusetts.
"The prosperity of the city is not greater than the prosperity of the largest number of its component individuals," replied the mayor, in a somewhat
altruistic and economically abstruse argument on the floor of the council hall. "We must find contractors."
"We'll see about that," said the members of the opposition. "Why, the man's crazy. If he thinks he can run this town on a goody-good basis and make
everybody rich and happy, he's going to get badly fooled, that's all there is to that."
Fortunately for him three of the eight council members were fellows of the mayor's own economic beliefs, individuals elected on the same ticket with
him. These men could not carry a resolution, but they could stop one from being carried over the mayor's veto. Hence it was found that if the
contracts could not be given to men satisfactory to the mayor they could not be given at all, and he stood in a fair way to win.
