Some people-shy at the idea of farmers or workingmen having spec- ial representation in Parliament be- cause it means "class consciousness" which may produce class hatred. A little refiection will remove this alarm. The very object of represen- tation is to give voices to men and women holding different views. The expectation is that when they come together they will not indulge in a 'free fight, but exchange ideas, give 'and take concessions, and out of a variety of opinion try to arrive at 'vight conclusions and take the wisest 'course.
