Quote by Earl Warren

Many agricultural counties are far more important in the life of the State than their population bears to the entire population of the State. It is for this reason that I have never been in favor of restricting their representation in our State Senate to a strictly population basis. It is the same reason that the founding fathers of our country gave balanced representation to the States of the Union, equal representation in one House and proportionate representation based upon population in the other.

Many agricultural counties are far more important in the lif

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of giving balanced representation to agricultural counties, even if their population size is relatively small compared to the entire state. The speaker opposes the idea of restricting their representation in the State Senate solely based on population. The reference to the founding fathers' creation of a system that provides equal representation to states in one House (Senate) and proportionate representation based on population in the other (House of Representatives) emphasizes the value of ensuring agricultural counties have a voice and influence in governance, despite their population numbers.

I think I succeeded as a writer because I did not come out of an English department. I used to write in the chemistry department. And I wrote some good stuff. If I had been in the English department, the prof would have looked at my short stories, congratulated me on my talent, and then showed me how Joyce or Hemingway handled the same elements of the short story. The prof would have placed me in competition with the greatest writers of all time, and that would have ended my writing career.
