A considerable number of the Claf'-

past week, some to pay their taxes and
others to attend court.
Dave Grove is now having the stone
for the foundation of his new house put

second big mill. When she gets that
she will be about up to Claf1n so far as

Claflin is forging right along but there
is one thing the business men could do
that would help out materially in more
way than one; and that ia to organize a
commercial club, and reach out after
new enterprises 10 a sort of united
way. Almost all the eighboring towns
have their commercial cub, and in every
instance it has proven great drawing
card.
A gentleman was here the first OF the
week looking over the town with a view
to securing location for the building
of large rooming house. We did not
learn as to what success he met with
but there is one thing sure if he had ii
ready at this particular time, be would
have no trouble in renting all the rooms
he might have at good fair price.

IN the treatise just put forth by the assislahl
professor Of political economy Of the UNIVERSITY
OF Chicago. the author, breaking away from the
cicta q Adam Smith that have formed the Dasls
OF most OF the academic theorizing on economic
topics since his day. has instituted inquiry
into the mature, causes. utility and further
drift Of business enterprise, from the point OF
view Of the practical working Of modern condi-
fions. IN other words. he seeks 10 find an ex-
PLANTATION for the great economic problems Of the

financial crises, trade unienism. the strained re-
lations between capital and labor, and the vari-
Gus pyrotechnic phenomena OF twentieth century
'ghigh finance"
He is more successful IN tracing the causes
and history OF current business conditions than
IN his prognosis of their future drift" which
leads him into the statement Of a paradox and
leaves the reader very much IN the air. The
eventual natural decay OF business enterprise"
which he predicts would seem. according 70 his
reasoning. 20 end IN system OF industrial So
caaiisn. If carried to its logical conclusion He
avoids SO revolutionary deduction by side
tracldng his argument before he gets that far,
either because he fails to perceive the inevi-
table terminus or perhaps because he does and
o&c1ilS X less dangerous 10 STOP IIlaI 10 go on
Indeed. he distinctly repudates any socalistlo
lesnings. His general treatment Of his subject
ss fair and open minded and can be recon-
rnended 20 the practical man OF affairs as well
es 90 the student OF economic theories.
The motive Of modern business enterprise Pro-
nessor Veblen defines as primary gain, fits
method as essentially purchase and sale, its aim
ond usual outcome the accumulation Of
wealth. Its basis he sees in the perfection of
tie machine process IN creative industry and
the resulting tendency to Standardization IN
methods Of manufacture, in the finished products
and In the channels OF distribution. Standard
3zation. therefore, means economy and the abil-
fly 70 handle goods in bulk. and in its turn
tends TO more complete organization OF busl-
hess transactions.
II is by business transactions that the balance Of
working relations between the several industrial
units Is maintained restored, adjusted or read
5usted and II Is on this basis and by the same
