In this day aud age of the world
one CT the greatest elements OF sue.
cess is organization. The capitalists
have secured laws which permit
them to control the industries of
this country by organization 10y or
ganization of wealth the trusts have
become able to say to the producer
what he shall have for the products
of his toll; by organization the COM
binations can say to the consumer
what lie stall pay for the necessities
of life; by organization a few men
are becoming possessed Of the entire
wealth of the country while the
masses are becoming poorer; by ef-
fective organization political partit
get into power and those which lack
organization retire from active con
troll of affairs.
If the wealthy men of the COUNT
can secure laws for their especii
benefit by organization; If politics
parties can gain almost absolute pow
er by organization, does IT not stan'
to reason that Il municipality, or tn
businessinterests by combining thei
influence can accomplish the mos
good for themselves and their homes
Does it not stand to reason that witt
united front, an honest and har
monious effort, there is hardly limi
to what might be accomplishedY
If there is one thing more than al
} other that our city needs, 1t Is ol
D ganizaiion. The business Interest
of this city can be so united tina
there is hardly limit TO wha
might be accomplished in the way
n advancement and progress. 1t is
trite saying, "that what Is ever
U mans business Is nobody's bus
0 ness" The thing that impresses
stranger more than anything else
o. coming to this place, is the appareI
lack Of an effective organization
the business interests; the lack
board Of trade or chamber OF cor
r merce.
Corporations are always looking J.
an outlet for the investment OF the
surplus capital Railway enterpris

the managers are convinced III
there is sufficient traffic TO warra
such an Investment. Corporate
are not philanthropic, but are co
trolled by hard-beaded business me
and have to be convinced before th
embark in an enterprise that such
investment will bring them at lea
a reasonable compensation Tor |
capital and energies invested.
