The experiment began on October 1,
1903. At the end of six months the
birds fed with ordinary food had laid

mustard addition to their food laid

| The Corporate System.
| In his address before the Quill club
| Mr. Perkins, speaking from wide ex-
| perience in one of the premier banking
firms of the civilized world made a
powerful and effective attack on the
| individualiStic theories and practices of
| capitalism. We must have, he says, a
cooperation between owners and man
ayers and employees and the public.
We must cooperate all along the line,
using cooperation as method to put
| a stop to the wasteful war of interests.
| in this ethical treatment of the sub
| ject Mr.. Perkins makes a distinct con-
| tribution. He sees that the term bears
new implications is result of the cos
mopolitan form. of modern Industrial
| ism. Ethical obligations which were
| passed over when business was done on
| a small scale are magnified to enor-
| nous proportions, and their import
ance is revealed when the business of
| one corporation is measured by hum
| dreds of millions, where formerly its
| standards were hundreds of thousands.
| or at the most a few millions. The
( derelictions of the business world be-
come cumulative and constitute a ma
! tional peril when the conduct of bus
| mess enterprise. worldwide in its ex-
tent, can be swayed by the autocratic
/ power of one capitalist or even by a
| small group of capitalists. People are
| beginning to realize that autocracy
anywhere and everywhere leads in the
| end only to revolution and social chaos.
| Widespread antagonism against these
| conditions has brought about a demand
| for drastic remedy, and it is often
| claimed that the only salvation will be
l to return to the industrial conditions
| of two generations ago. Such a remedy
| is only degree less impracticable than
the suggestion that the social ills Of the
present shall be remedied by reverting
| to the guild system of the Middle Ages.
| On this point Mr.. Perkins is most en-
| phatic-that the destruction of the cor
| porate system is both impracticable and
| undesirable. AS he says, before the
1 days of great corporations, Industrial
| and financial, when competition, that
| element so much clamored for, was at
| its highest point, the OK cart seemed a
| most excellent means of transportation.
| Great combinations are as indispensa-
terday. Or, to put it more explicitly,
| the ocean greyhound and the fast ex-
/ press train that are the outward SYM
| bols of the great transportation COM
our civilization and general mode of
| living as the OK cart was centuries ago.
