FUNNY
Way In Which TrumbuII County
Officers Do Things.

County Infrmary Directors A. p.
Kepner, and j. j. Jones were in Ak
ron, Friday, looking after Mrs. Rosa
Steinhauser, formerly of Warren. She
is said to be in destitute clrcum-
stances. OF course 1t was necessary
for two members of the Board to go
In order to render proper relief. 1t
cost these gentlemen about So each
for railroad fare. Each charged the
county $3.50 for their time and proba-
bly, as much more for expenses. 1t
therefore cost Trumbull county tax
payers from S12 to $15 to render a
poor woman $3 or "a worth of ..relief."
The only surprising thing about the
transaction is the fact that the entire
Board did not go.--Western Reserve

THE TRUST is "A
DEAD BUSINESS"
&C. M. Schwab.
The President Of Steel Corporation Says Con
solicitations of TodayAre the Very Opposite.

Chicago, Dec. 23.-In a speech be-
fore the Bankers club Charles NJ.
Schwab, president of the United States
Steel corporation, declared that "the
trust is dead business proposition,
built on a trinity that would wreck
anything--the restriction of trade, the
increase of prices and the throttling
Of competition"
In distinction from the trust" he
declared that consolidation had for
its guiding principles the reverse of
this trinity--that, instead of restrict
ing 1t expanded trade by creating new
avenues and reducing the prices of
commodities produced. For particu-
lars he discussed the United States
Steel corporation, pleading that 1t was
with this consolidation that he was
most familiar.
DclolC u COlupuuy VI DduheES IL is,
of course, unnecessary to defend the
principle of consolidation said Mr..
Schwab. Men in your business are
of necessity too well grounded in in
dustrial science to be affected by
the timOrous advocates of old line
methods or the outcry against consoli-
dations as trusts No one has a
clearer appreciation than myself of the
evil that lurked in the trust scheme.
] say lurked' advisedly because the
trust is dead business proposition
with which we will never again be
troubled. 1t was an experiment, and,
to that extent, serves it's purpose.
But it was founded OH misconception
and prompted along lines of self de-
struction.
Its fundamental principles were the
restriction of trade, the increase of
price and the throttling of competi-
tion-a trinity that would wreck any
proposition business, political or So
cial. The consolidation, as organized
today, has for its guiding line the very
opposite of this. Instead of restrict
ing trade it expands trade, by creating
