GOOD GOVERNMENT
The question may bfe asked
what is good government. Per
haps no better definition can be
found than that given by Thom
as Jefferson in his fust inaugu
ral address: “A Wise- and fru
gal government, which shall re
strain men from injuring one an
other, which shall leav* , them
otherwise free to regulate their
own pursuits of industry knl m
provcment, Mid shall'v not tiike
from the mouths of labor the
bread it has earned—this is the
sum of good government.”'
One of the first • objects of
good government is to .protect
the lives and property of its
citizens. All citizens should be
left to regulate their own pur
suits. They should be left free
to {mprove their property and
their businesses. They should
be left fcey to engage in any
business whicn does net injure
the person or property of any
other citizen.
Good goverimeri is such that
will not taki fr >ni the mouths of
the labore • the bread or the
other necessi i e : of life which he
has earned.
Good government will not
take away from the honest toil
er and give to the lazy, indolent
and careless persons.
Good government will allow
the greatest amount of freedom
to the individual and the locali
ty.
Good government does not
seek to control the masses for
the benefit of the few. Good
.government must not be pater
nalistic. ■ - ■
In general terms the govern
ment that does the least govern
ing is the best government.

These historic Creeds contain the truths revealed HH||
