We are indebted to the promoters OF
the $s00.o00.O0 copper trust for the
latest answer to that eternally per-
picking question. why Is a trust?"
From time to time many solutions
of that conundrum have emanated
from extremely respectable IL not en-
tirely trustworthy sources.
We have been told that the why
ness" OF trustism lay in the fact that
trusts reduced prices OF raw materials:
and that 1t did not do anything of
the kind; that IT lowered the cost TO
the consumer; that II increased the
cost: that It resulted In great econ
omy by dispensing with surplus help;
that II accomplished a like result by
increasing the working force; that IT
keeps us cut OF the slough OF business
depression by reducing wages; that
II enhances our general prosperity by
increasing wages; and SO forth and
so on.
But the copper trust says none OF
these
It's conservation.
There you are. Conservation of
natural resources. That's the abso-
