TRUSTS and EFFICIENCY

Louis ID. BrIndeiS, the noted Boston attOT-
rey, whose advocacy of industrial efficiency has
made him noted figure, has recently punctur2d
the claim that great trusts are efficient because
OF their system of organization.
BraDdeis anaIyzes the later history Of several
biz trusts, such as Standard Oil and the Tobacco
trust showing that with the growth of these
huge monopoleS they showed distinct loss in
efficiency. In telling of the Steel trusts his
tory he declares that Andrew Carnegie was the
greatest maker of steel the world has ever
known. He could always produce steel several
dollars Il ton cheaper than his competitors, and
the Steel trust to get him ont of business,
bought his holdings for over $490,O0O, 600 With
the retirement of Carnegie, maintains Brandels,
the steel business lost its most efficient figure,
and he uses this us an illustration of the lack
Of relative efficiency in the huge and inflated
trusts.
BrandeiS conclusion is that trusts owe their
wonderful success not to efficiency but to their
control of the elements of production and mar
ketng; in other words, to monopoly and it's az
compartment of special privilege. He shows
that the Ship trust although backed by the same
great financierS that backed the Steel trust and
Standard Oil, J. r. Morgan 4 Co. being one of
those principally Interested has never been d
success because it could not get a monopoly of
Atlantic traffic.
From the facts BrandeiS deduceS the inter-
rSting lesson that any business depends upon
the brains and energy of one man, and when the
system of organization gets beyond the grasp of
some one master-mind, efficiency suffers. He

A QUESTION FOR THE VOTERS

What kind Of men does Honolulu want fol
supervisors?
The board Of supervisors of the city and
county of Honolulu is perhaps the most power
full public body in the territory. Through its
police committee it can control the police de-
partIrrmt, through its sanitation committee it
can control the garbage department and city
sanitary inspectors; through its street and road
committee it can control the road department.
Other departments of the city are similarly dom
mated. The domination would he even more
absolute than it'is were not Democrats strongly
intrtnchetl in the police department.
The mayor of the city has few duties and
practically no powers, save that of the veto, and
to pass a measure over his veto, only one vote
more than majority of the board, is necessary.
The board of supervisors controls the city :
finances, its public improvements, it's public en-
tertanment-all its public affairs; the board
guides the progress of the city or hinders the
progress, according to the character of the board
itself. The office of mayor, originally intended
as a check on THE boards acts as well as an
executive head for the city government, has no
standing in Honolulu 1t is a political plum,
not Il civic honor, and even as political plum
it is almost valueless.
What kind of men does Honolulu want for
supervisors" ,'
Does this city want men who go to office to
serve public interest or men who 60 into office
to serve private interest"
Does this city want men who will have to he
watched in office, or men in whom the citizens
have confidence?
Does this city want two years Of suspicion
that it's supervisors are trying to put something
ever or does it want two Years of frank copper
alton between the supervisors and all the pcopIc.
