vestment. 1t is equally as important
that capital should not be starved as
it is that labor should not be under
paid. Each is entitled to and should
receive fair treatment at the hands
Of the community.
Capital is proverbfally timil. When
it is without reasonable hope Of profit
commensurate with the risks run it
withdraws from the feld-goes into
hiding to await what it deems a more
favorable time for investment. With
the closing of mills and factories, with
the banking of furnace fires the de-
mand for labor decreases. This means
workers; means a reduction of wages;
means that all cannot find employ
ment; means suffering and want.
Certainly wage earners are as
much interested as any one else IN
the community in maintaining condl-
tons which mean a fair profit upon
capial invested So, too, employers
should be interested in maintaining
as high a scale of wages as is consist
ent with fair profit to themselves, Tor
upon the wages paid to labor largely
depends the purchasing power of the
country. With high wages there is
market for products of the farm,
field and factory Decreasing pur-
chasing power goes hand and in hand
with decreasing wages. Low wages
means decreased production; means
the closing of mills and factories and
the running on short time, because
there is no market for their full out

When labor suffers capital cannot
thrive. nor can labor thrive when cap

interests of labor and of capital are

Our Existence to Law.

Our great corporations are creatures
Of the law. They owe their being to
the law and can continue to exist only
by, through and under the protection
OF the law. 1t would certainly seem
that those having the management OF
these interests should above all 9th
ers be anxious for the upholding of the
law. And yet it seems that some OF
them. at times, through their hired
agents, indulge in a form of lawless-
ness that is far more dangerous to
the state than would be an outbreak
Of open violence, for that could and
would be met and suppressed.
| refer to the crime Of bribery and
corruption. This form of lawlessness,
more than any other, tends to under
mine our institutions and to breed con-
tempt of law 1t is a crime against
popular government, for it tends to
weaken faith Of the masses in the eff
ncacy of such government. For men
Tor whose interests the law is the on
~ safeguard, deliberately to weaken
that safeguard is an act of monument
al folly. In seducing public servants
from their allegiance 20 the people
and to the state as a whole, and max
