ON A TIMELY TOPIC
7. B. Walker Speaks on Trusts Be.
fore Meeting Of Methodist
Pastors.
He Believes the Average Trust Is
a Weak Commercial
Device.

| The weakness Of the trust as a. con,
mercial mechanism was pointed out this
morning by T. B. Walker in an address
upon Trusts" delivered by request al
| the Hennepin Avenue M. e. church be
| fore the Methodist pastors of Minneapo polls
! Several ministers from st. Paul were pres
! emit.
The origin of the trust said Mr. Walker
was no inevitable trend of economic
progress but was simply the desire to
profit as much as possible at the expense
of ones neighbors. It was desire ex-
hlbited' to greater or less extent, by
men in all occupations, yet it was none
the more 5ustifable on that account
This particular form of self -aggrandize-
| nlent aimed to create a monopoly complete
or nearly so, by which it would be possible
to pay liberal dividends on capital not
actually invested in the business.
The trust sought two NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
only of. operation and monopoly of raw
material or of processes. Sometimes the
raw materials could be practically mo-
nopolized, as in the case of the oil trust
and the steel trust. This achievement
would, no doubt, prevent effective compe-
tition. Such trusts might survive and
even prosper.
But no trust without monopoly of
materials or processes could depend for
it's success upon the so-called economies
Because in fact, a trust seldom effected
genuine economy, except in selling its
products. AS far production is con-
cerned. the branch factories of large
company would never be operated econ
omically OF progressively by the paid
agents of a trust. Each agent or man
ager would be satisfied if he were running
his factory as cheaply as most Of his
fellow agents ran them. s.
This salaried manager would never take
the same interest in the business as if he.
were private manufacturer owning all
or large share of the business. Besides
such private manufacturer, not forced;
to pay dividends on capital not invested.
could always undersell the trust manag
burdened with the demand for profits on.
watered stock and with the inevitable ex-
travagance of any colossal organiza tom
Mr.. Walker told how. he had himself
prevented the formation of thresher
trust several years ago by demonstrating
to the stockholders of the Minneapolis
Thresher company that they could manu-
facture machinery cheaper than any trust
could. and that if the trust could under.
sell them here, they could invade the ter
ritory Of the trust.
The trust principle was opposed to le
Ultimate business methods. It simply in
duced labor unions and other social and
commercial factors to adopt the trust
forms and to fight it with it's own wea
pons. Therefore the great majority OF

A KISS And A SLAP.

Found a Peck Of
Trouble.
The Kissee Told His Wife and He

trouble for Olaf Thompson, who was ar

Gated that he thought he had had his
moneys worth.

saluted the lady of the house with kiss.
instead OF receiving the salutation in good
part, mrs. Oyen became angry and re-

sons wife, who was much incensed.
Oiaf was away from home when Mrs.
Oyen called, but when he returned, in
stead OF receiving the usual loving well

MISTAKE OF BROWN
Bookkeeper for Board Of Charities
Explains Discrepancy in Sec.
Johnson's Accounts.
Defense Opens It's Case - Claims
Money Was Held Back for
Contingent Fund.

The states case against William H
Johnson, secretary of the city board OF
charities and corrections, accused of mis-.
appropriating $3.50 of the city funds was
completed this morning. Judge John II
Steele attorney for the defendant moved
dismissal ON the grounds Of the made
quacy of the indictment and the INSULT
cheney of the evidence. The motion was
denied and Judge Steele made his opening
ADDRESS to the jury shortly before noon.
The evidence Of the state shows that
the defendant kept out of the moneys in
ms charge $3.50. Expert bookkeepers
sWore that the poor department accounts
showed the payment to the city treasurer
or $160 more than the money in reality
turned over by johnson
The claim Of the defense Is that the
money was kept out with the full knowl-
cage and consent of the board of charities
ana corrections and that it was held as a.
contingency fund, subject to the demand
OF the board. The discrepancy was ex-
planned by Charles H. Brown, bookkeeper
Tor the board and a state witness as be-
ing mistake on his part He under
STOOD that the entire amount was paid
IN to the treasurer and when he after
wards learned of the contingency fund.
the books were out of his hands and he
mad no chance to correct his error.
The defense introduced two witnesses.
OrVllle Rinehart. member, and Professor,
John G. Moore, chairman of the board of
charities and corrections
me case will probably go to the jury to-
night. - ~
