PERKINS WRITES FOR
CORPORATION CONTROL
SAYS THE ONE THING WE ARE
AFRAID OF IS THE DISHONEST
UNFAIR AND SUPREMELY
SELFISH MAN.

New York City.-A strong plea
for federal supervision of all inter-
state business enterprises will be
made by George w. Perkins former
erly partner of Morgan & Co.. in the
June number of the Worlds Work.
Only government supervision and
control, Perkins insists, will prevent
periodical disturbances of business
by politica! agitation and local leg
islation. He also enews his sugges-
tion for the establishment Of a bust
ness court to pass upon all of the
problems arising out of big busi-
ness.
"The American public is not
afraid to use steam because it will
scald, dynamite because 1t will ex-
plode, the express train because it
will jump the track, the sixty horse
power automobile, nor ever chained
lightning" he says "but we are
afraid of a dishonest, corrupt, unfair
and supremely selfish man. The art
we must learn is to supervise, regu-
late AMI coutrol the actions of men.
The question between Capital and
labor today is not so much the
amount of wage a man should be
paid as it is whether that wage is a
fair proportion of tbs earnings Of
tt, business.
eff our laws regulating large
business concerns provide for prop
er and complete publicity, SO that the
labor Of a concern and the stock
holder would know what was being
done, SO that government authors
ties would know what was being
done and, so that the public which
was being served would know what
was being done, many Of u pres
ent difficulties would disappear"

When Sir Edward referred to the
possibility of the adoption of Presi-

in tense silence. If, he said. two of
the greatest nations should thus make
it clear that in no circumstances were
they going to war again the effect of
their example Oh the world must have
beneficent consequences.
Nations entering such an agreement.
continued the secretary, might be ex-

This would probably lead to their max

THE ROADS OF THE WHOLE
WORLD MUST BE REMApE
"old Msesdar viii No Longer Stand
Strain Of Automobile"

Nelson +. Lewis. chief engineer Of
the board Of estimate of the borough
Of Manhattan, New York city. believes
that the roads of every civilized coun-
try will have to be rebuilt because
the old macadam. the best thing until
now for highways. Is unable to stand
the grind of automobiles. Roads will
have to be rebuilt to suit automobiles,
because the automobile is a good thing
for roads of the kind that can bear its
peculiar pressure. Speaking on this
subject recently. Mr.. Lewis said:
while ! believe that only a bitumi-
nous substance. such as tar, asphalt or
mineral oil. should be used as binding
material for loose rock and sand in
should be relaid. as they must be soon
er or later. many engineers seem to
think that by spreading a cohesive
mixture over the surface of the roads
as they are will be all that is required.
Some others believe that new mac
adam may be laid and the surface
treated with this bituminous mixture.
They assume that 1t will penetrate
through and make the rock fittings
fast.
ION one point there is no disagree
ment 1t is that no roads anywhere
except those newly built according to
some of these more modern processes
are able to withstand automobile traf-
fic. When vehicles were drawn by
horses the only damage done to the
roads was by the horseshoes. The
drawn vehicle was benefit to the
road. having the effect of steam roll
err in packing and hardening the sand
and clay
Everywhere the cry of bad roads
is going up. We are no worse off
than the rest of the world. 1T is a
problem which now engages the Sc
rious attention of the French govern
ment. and England, which spent a
hundred years in making her splendid
highways. is now rebuilding them as
fast as she can to accommodate them
to new conditions.
at is quite generally agreed that
some form of bitumen is best adapted
for this purpose.
There are four general methods of
using it:
"First.-Coating the surface to form,
temporarily at least. a waterproof and
dustless road.
"Second-The penetration method. by
which the bituminous matter is forced
down into the broken stone, and sand or
screenings are used to take up the excess
of btumen.
"Third.-The interposition of the bitumi-
nous mixture between the bottom course
of stone and the top course, or new wear
ing surface. and the forcing of the upper
course into the mixture, additional ma
terial being added to the surface to COM
pletey fill the interstices between the
stones. while sand or screenings are APP
piled to take up any excess upon the sur
face.
Fourth - The mixing method, under
which the stone which is to form the
wearing surface is thoroughly coated with
the hot bituminous cement. with a prop
er amount of screenings and other fine
material added to reduce the voids the
mixture being spread upon the road while
hot, after which II is thoroughly rolled

pavement or bituminous macadam of the
American type. the surface again being

Surface coating can be considered tenn
porary or palliative only"
