An essay argues that society is torn between two equal forces toward socialism and anarchy. It contends compromise governs government policy. Proponents of tariffs public works and bank deposit guarantees are labeled paternalists, while critics favor minimal government and individual self reliance. The piece frames the clash as a choice between communal support and personal responsibility.

Ada Canyon counties react with indignation meetings and plans, while warnings of rain and April showers loom over the party.
