STEEL TRUST ABROAD.

There is evident need of a trust
buster in Austria-Hungary. There is
a steel trust in that country that could
give pointers to the United States
concern founded by Mr.. Morgan. A
consular report to the American gov
eminent throws some interesting light
on this powerful monopoly which APP
pears to have thriven and grown by
much the same methods as those pur-
sued in this country.
For some years the producers of
iron and steel in Austria-Hungary
have had a combination whereby they
have been able to control the entire
market of this kingdom That the
combination has proved beneficial to
the producers is evidenced by the fact
that some of the companies have paid
So to 40 per cent dividends. That
their control is complete is shown by
the fact that they have closed many
of the smaller plants and have kept
the production at a little above the
domestic demand. The export of iron
and steel for 1911 amounted to only
5000 tons, as compared with Ger
many's 10000 tons, in spite of the
fact that the ore in Austria Hungary
is superior to that of Germany and the
labor cost is less. With duty rang
ing from 80 cents per 220 pounds for
pig iron to $34 for certain steel manu-
features, the combination has been
able to keep out foreign competition.
Domestic prices have been raised to a
point where it is almost impossible for
the users of steel to make a profit on
their manufactures.
For some years the various trade
associations using iron and steel have
endeavored to devise some way of
combating the steel trust, but so far
their efforts have proved futile. In
December there was held in Vienna a
congress of various trades which use
steel and iron, and three bureaus
were organized to effect some plan of
relief. These bureaus are: A law
bureau, for securing the passage of
laws tending to regulate trusts; a
statistical bureau; and a purchasing
bureau. The latter bureau has de-
vised plan for abolishing the trust
The plan of the bureau is to get a
foreign company to make contracts
with the employers association of
blacksmiths. locksmiths and wagon

FROM OTHER PENS


TIRED OF BEING GOOD.
Los Angeles has rejected the good
government party that has been in
power for a few years and elected a.
corps or officers who were opposed by
the greater portion of the press in
the city and by all the clubs of good
people.
One may raise the question as to
why it is that such experiments in
government lead perpetually to rever-
saIs ana to return to elder usages. One
reason 1or IL is overlooked, but is very
apparent. That is, when the good. as
they are called, come into power, thew
go about trying to make everybody
else good by statute, by force of ordf-
lance, by compuls1on, and they make
the average citizen tired
The real fundamental reason for
the Democratic party in the United
states was its devotion to the idea that
men should be let alone as much as
possible, and their great founder 6e
clared that that government is hest
which governs least" That princin1e
is perpetually violated by most mu-
nlclpal governments when the socaIIed
better element get into power.
No city can be too we'll governed
NO city can spare the service of its
best citizens in the true sense, and vet
such citizens are not often found
manning the offices. They are busy
ing living. That leaves it to the
choice between those who are NOT mar
tlcularly desirable perhaps and those
who are rather fanaticai than other
wise and filled with a holy zeal to
make everybody toe the mark.
Los Angeles has tried that system
and rejected it. In a word. neither
extreme suits the average citizen.
There may be other reasons for the
Los Angeles result, but certainly some
basic idea in human nature, American
human nature at any rate, exhibits
the same spirit that was seen in
ancient Athens when the first citizen
was banished because everybody was
tired of hearing him spoken of always
as THE Good."-Buffalo News

On Tipping.
III EUTA. CAMERON.

On l1DDlng.
Did you ever know anyone who did not
think that tipping, as it is practiced in
this country, was an evil?
l am sure never did. And yet the evil
Keeps on growing. Every year tips get
bigger, and every year we add to the list
OF those who are supposed to be tipped.
Up a newsboy a nickel when you buy a
penny paper of him. Indeed I don't doubt
that there are some who do that now-a-
days.
Tipping is to me one of most Of
fensive manifestations of the twentieth
century spirit of pretense and display.
cause they know that those whom they
tip do not receive living wage and are
partially dependent on such gifts. 1 won
DER now many really tip from that laud-
able motive? Ask yourself honestly the
next time you give waiter a quarter
which you don't really want to part with
If you would have given it to him If nav
ment were made in such a way that Meth
er he nor anyone around you knew
whether you tipped him or not. Sup
and all tips were laid aside and given the
walters at the close of the day. and they
had no idea which of their customers
tipped and which did not Do Won think
we should give up our hard earned QUAR-
tiers and halves SO readily?
generosity motive is not so strong as We
like to think it. 1 suspect that the real
reason most of give larger tips than
we can AFFORD is that We are afraid peo-
pie will know we can't AFFORD them
Aside from the heavy tax it ievies upon
the person of moderate means, I h tie tip
ping for another reason And that is be
Gauge this custom discounts the value or
So much kindness. Again and again
have felt my heart glow at some oil Of
kindness which was shown me- and then
felt that glow grow cold before the chill
ing thought, Perhaps he or she did If for

want to give the tip,-at least think it

and not that miserable irn,ta-

hope of gain.
OF course one would loath to Join an
crusade because of the hard
ship such q crusade would undoubtedly
put upon many workers under this rliser-
able system by which various kinds of
force the public TO pay their
employees for them
Nevertheless one cannot help feeling
that if pressure of public opinion could IN
some way be brought to bear upon these
employers, they would find a way to pay
their employees themselves. Doubtless |
the ultimate consumer would be Indirectly
taxed to do it But I am sure the public |
would rather have such indirect taxa ton |
and I should think the employees would
vastly prefer that method OF payment.
