zations they will send members

no regular organizations there will
be town meetings, county meetings.

THE POLICY OF FRANKNESS

Much was said al the gathering
Of advertising men at Baltimore,
about Truth II advertising. This
Is g prIueiple that this newspaper
has al<ays emphasized. L may
say something more about it soon.
Il Is a principle that Is peryadiug
all business life.
= slump Of speculative discour-
sgement followed the decree in
the Minnesota railroad rate cases.
Railroad men complain bitterly
Of the hostility Of the public. Bust
ness men call for more c~o-corpo-a-
ton 10 which the public shall al
low the railroads TO make fair
dividend and the railroad shall
give the best possible service at
moderate charges and all shall pull
together 10 boost the community.
TIE same policy OF frankneS
that the advertising writers have
been urging which leads the mod
EN- business man TO tell jus, what
his goods are. SiII remove anti
corporation hostility.
The old motto used 10 be, In the
language OF the mining country,
Every mar for himself and hold
your cards close 10 your belly"
Now a good many people have De-
come convinced that some games
tan best be played with the card
down OF the table.
When z railroad bought Up z
competitor. the reason formerly
assigned was iHat the property was
wanted as 3 feeder II this vas
not the real reason. irritation vas
created When y01 are dealing
with a mar who fails to give you
the real reason for hi. action. you
view all his actions with suspicion.
The same principle prevails in the
dealing between the public and
the roads
The railroad msguste Who opens
his accounts TO the public, who as
signs the real reason for his act,
Is going to dissipate existing hos
tility. II is only fair 10 say that
fTankness is much more in evil
denee than il was. The railroads
are suffering nov for the sins Of
the past more than from those Of
the present.
