Under huge handicaps this people tire baTe come a long way ay and accomplished d much This high Ideal has hM succeeded In holding them In some degree of unity especially as a fighting unit against a

nit en them to have are not the same Union is a favored ta term among the the American people but they lack the unity possessed by many le lesser ser nations they y lack Jack a uniform government and they lack a homogeneous people Had the thirteen original colonies been one colony as in fact tact they th y were one peo pea people people pie mostly English and wholly under English domination then what would the condition of the the- present America Am be bt To Great Britain the American Amerlean colonies comprising the thirteen were alike one holding baldIng under the crown The separate colonies arose arOe from different grants granta to the same general territory u When the colonies rebelled belled It t seems s ms not have oc- oc ed to the people to merge their ter territory ter- ter r- r as well as make common cause of oC action It was apparently easier uler to arouse the country by sections sect Ions than en e masse and to unite the different local interests u as separate units or cr lr colonies and these were later erected into states as u well as the added territory Could the organization have been one state one country one people one uni uni- united united united ted national purpose there would have been no civil war The new territory was wu finally erected er cU l lInto Into states and thus we have ha 48 states with th 48 separate governments at least leat the state machinery Is duplicated with witha a difference to create complications with 48 43 times the cost and tax burden for tor the people If U I the states were abolished abol hed also the counties and the country country- countr divided into convenient sized d districts with a general numeral representative for each In a common national congress with general fictions f represented by men equivalent to t our present senators Then the cost COlt cr cf local and general government would b be vastly reduced rc But much more tin tin- i port ant would be to reduce the conflict d cf state
