Il respectfully suggest that those
agents, the sum of whose expenses are
a high percentage of their gross re-
ceipts should be discontinued, or the
agency should be reorganized n
placed on a better business basis.
"A review of the work of the agents

forth in the records gives ground for
the suspicion that they may, in some
instances, fail to exact a fee from the

about a year ago a form for an ex-

That there is nothing In the present
conditions throughout the United States
TO cause unrest, gloominess, or excite
ment among business men is the belief OF
George f. Roberts. Director of the Mint
of the United States,
| lie admits that there exists a certain
amount of uneasiness and confusion, but
from his observations he fails 10 see
where there is any ground for it. He at
tributes this state Of AFFAIRS largely TO
the development Of our industrial and
political machine ahead OF our capacity
TO run IL.
Speaking yesterday on tibet subject,
Director Roberts said: "Theer are prob
lens TO be dealt with. as there always
have b cen. and always must be, in a
developing society. Changes and read
justments are continually necessary. and
most Of thte so-called problems are in
cidental 10 bene1oent changes. The prob
lem OF regulating the railways, for in
stance. is not much when compared with
the problem OF getting along without
railways"
Public Getting More.
There Is. Of course. always a chance
10 argue whether the average man IS
getting his full share OF the benefits or
progress, but that he is getting a large
and increasing share Is certain. Com
mon, unorganized labor, such as we have
in the kitchen and on the farm, Is get
ting fgystra q .
ago. The manufacturer In every line Of
industry Is IN a constant struggle 10 on
set the rise OF wages by the investment
OF more capital and the introduction OF
new methods. II there is single branch
OF industry in which during the last ten
years the price Of the finished product
has kept pace with the advance IN the
labor and raw materials that enter into
il. that branch Is an exception 10 the
rule"
Familiar 10 Business Men.
These aresnot theories; they are facts
familiar 10 an business men. The head
OF every industry is under pressure TO
improve his methods and find more cap
ital for for his usiness. in order 10
maintain himself The census figures
show that from 1920 70 1900 the amount
OF capital invested in manufactures in
creased 605 per cent, the number Of
wage-earners employed in manufacture
Increased 2fs per cent. and the value OF
the output increased S95 per cent When
II is considered that the Increased output !
was absorbed by the masses Of the peo- /
pie, IL is apparent that the average man /
gained in his share. II is an old principle /
that labor obtains a constantly increas- /
ing share Of a constantly increasing |
product Il holds good to-day, and, OF
course. it always must hold good so long
as capital increases faster than popula- !
ton.
The fact is that progress doesn't wait /
on legislation or political leadership. II /
Is IN the constitution Of things. and waits /
only on individual development and the 4
growth Of capacity for organization and |
cooperation.
