party argue that industrial monopo-
lies should be lesallEed, lest We lose
the efficiency of large-scale production
and distribution. No argument could
be more misleading.
1t may be safely asserted that in
America there IS no line Of busness
in which all or most concerns or
plants must be concentrated in order
to attain the size of greatest efti-
cieucy. For while a business may be
too small TO be efficient efficiency does
not grow indefinitely with increasing
size What the most efficient size is
can be learned definitely only by eX-
perience. The unit of greatest eff
cheney is reached when the disadvan-
tages OF size counterbalanco the ad-
vantases. The unit Of greatest ef'i-
cheney is exceeded when the disad
vantages OF size outweigh the advan-
tages. The history of American trusts
makes this clear. That history shows:
First-No conspicuous American
trust owes its existence TO the desir,
for increased efficiencv Expected
economies from combination" figure
largely in promoters prospectuses;
but they have never been n compcll-

As the result of little talk made

have given the matter some at
tention and although my plan may
not meet with favor, l will give it
as suggestion. III .-.
In working out any plan, some
well known place must be fixed up
on as a starting point from which
distance and location may be determ-
ined. OF course. Grand Junction be-
ing the Hub" of our Universe,
have to take some point within it,

say that fixed upon the Union De-
pot because it is prominent and well

system tas this system is for the

city streets are not considered eX-
