The old slogan', "That government is best which governs least," applied very well, to a state of SOCiety that was Individualist, as was the case only a generation ago. Business was carried on by Indtvtduals, Corporate enterprises were al­ most unknown. Railroads were just beginning, and most transportation was carried on In horse­ drawn vehicles. Practically no capital was re­ qulred to engage In any line of business such as existed at that time. The man who had learned a trade could procure all the tools necessary to "carry on" with a few dollars. Land was to be, had for anyone who wished to settle on it, and the settler could build his own cabin and trade work or the products Qf his soil with the village black� 'smith, who also was the plow maker and wagon maker, and outfit his farm with necessary equip­ ment with almost no money at all.
