Attorney Generals Blow to Shipping
TIME GEORGIAN has protest

TINE GEORGIAN has protest
ed the opinion of the At
torney General of the
United States which asserts that
the, subsection of the tariff that
allows a per cent discount on
imports in American vessels is in
operative.
The proviso forbade such
construction Of the subsection az
would abrogate or impair exist
ing trade treaties. The proviso
was added only after the State
Departments expert on treaties,
Mr.. John Bassett Moore. had in
a written opinion quoted articles
from treaties, showing their scope.
This opinion was made SEN
ate document. The bearing Of
treaties, in advance Of action by
Congress, was impressively de-
fined. The Attorney Generals
contention is that Congress did
not know VIII 1t was doing in
enacting this subsection.
The Georgian contends that the
sequence of events clearly estab-
fishes that Congress not only
clearly understood what It was
doing. but that 1t understood that
imports in certain foreign vessels
would be entitled to the discount
of the duty that imports in Amer
lean vessels enjoyed.
The Georgian has contended
that importers would find redress
through the courts. A Washing
ton dispatch In a New York news
paper, which is bitterly opposed
to this subsection and to any re-
vival Of American shipping, thus
confirms The Georgian's conten-
tons;
Treasury officials were dis
turbed by tho litigation in New
York and Coston over the en-
forcen,ent Of the S per cent diff
ferential in the tariff in favor of
imports carried in American bot
toms, which. extends also to ships
of certain nations by reason Of
the American treaty obligations
with them.'
This was precisely The Geor-
CLANS contention. It was inevi-
table that importers should seek
redress at the hands of the courts
for the reinforcement Of the
subsection. The dispatch In ques-
ton further states:
although the Department Of
Justice, through Attorney General
McReynolds, has ruled against
the enforcement Of the differen-
tiai as being inpractiea. Of ap-
plication, it is understood that
customs brokers and lawyers be-
!ieve they can have = coed case
against tho Government in tho
enforcement Of the differential.
and THEY Are TAKING ALL
MANNER OF CASES ON A
CONTINGENT BASIS, believing
thoroughly they will win.
The Attorney General merely
sought delay, hoping the subsec-
ton might be repealed. We do
not say that his opinion was
written in the interest If foreign

rank with the foremost in the
country.
The Ford Company begins its
program OF profit sharing with
an act Of absolute justice. 1t fixes
the hours of a days work at
eight, instead of nine, and as its
factories are in continuous opera
ton, works three shifts daily. Mr..
Ford expresses pleasure that this
system enables him to give en-
ployment to several thousand
more men.
But it does more. 1t advances
the movement for a general eight
hour day prodigiously. The Ford
motor works will be pointed to as
an example by advocates of eight
hour the world over, and their ar
gument will be vastly strength
ened.
The next step is one of pure
generoslty-as business ethics
now stand. TO fix five dollars as
the minimum wage for any en-
ployee over % years of age is an
act of arbitrary benevolence. Po-
litical economists and hard head
ed business men will tell you that
men are worth what you can get
them for in the open market. CON
trolled by the memorable law OF
supply and demand-no more.
Henry Ford evidently never
studied political economy. and.
excellent business man though he
is, does not think hard heart
the necessary accompaniment of
a hard head.
Magnificently imperial is the
announcement that 100000 900 has
been fixed upon as the sum that
will be divided during the com
ing year among the Ford en-
ployees. Payments from this
sum are to be made in the pay
envelopes semi monthly. The in
estimable superiority of this sys-
tenn over the common practice of
profit-sharing corporations which
keep their employees in doubt
twelve months as to their share
of the profits is obvious.
Thrift is most encouraged by
4 precise knowledge of what one
has and what one may fairly
hope to save. The Ford system
will distinctly develop thrift.
This magnihcently generous ac-
ton on the part of this company
will enable it to take its pick OF
employees in every branch of the
industry in which 1t is engaged.
To that extent its generosity will
be profitable.
To the employees the advan-
tages of a shorter vc",l day, high
er wages and share in the prof
its are too obvious TO need eXpla-

What is worth while is to point

The Roman road system was

OF the narrow paths, three to

Britain the road improvement is
estimated to have been at least
$500 miles. Across the Alps,

ton portends to Detroit and to
the industrial world as a whole.
Detroit is pre- eminently the au-
tomobile city. Great as are the
Ford works, there are others
there hardly overshadowed. The
. standard set by Ford must be
closely measured up to by the
others if they desire to keep their
high-grade employees. Any revi-
sion of wages in that field must
necessarily be a revision upward.
The eight-hour rule can not long
be observed in one great factory
and ignored in the factories of its
rivals.
No possible expenditures of
great profits by a corporation
could be so advantageous to a
city as their distribution among
a great multitude Of employees.
The Ford Company is about to
double the purchasing power OF
thousands of its employees. and
greatly increase it for many
thousands more. What this will
mean to the business community
of Detroit and of the other cities
in which Ford branches are To-
Gated is apparent.
1t is fortunate for the business
interests of the whole nation that
this pre- eminent manufacturing
concern has taken this step at
just this time. Could there be a
more positive answer to the
croakers who are dismally pre-
dieting hard times, and advising
every man to lock up his dollars
where they can't be lost-or be
useful?
The Ford Company deals with
the average man. The motor
cars it makes are bought by peo-
pie to whom the expenditure of a
few hundred dollars is an event,
and car highly priced posses-
sion not TO be discarded for a
whim OF fashion. Its customers
are precisely those who FIRST
would feel the pinch OF hard
times, lessened employment.
slackened industry and falling
wages.
knowing this, and undoubtedly
not deaf TO the dismal forebod-
ings OF pessimists, Henry Ford
announces policy which will
give employment to one third
more workers. which enormously
increases regular wages and con-
fidently assures employees a share
in prodigious profits to be earned
in 1914
The business community owes
Henry Ford an inestimabe debt.
AS for Detroit-well, no wonder
her people declare it "a place
where life is worth living" if liv-
ing there has developed a charac-
ter so rich in practical generosity
and business astuteness as his.

Milling the domestic needs Of the
farmers. Albert Kimsey Owen,
of Baldwinsville, N. Y, one of the
great altruistic, brainy men of
the age, is bending all his abili-
ties to the establishment of four
thousand four hundred and fifty
miles of good roads in America.
His idea is uplifting and in
spring; and it is to be hoped
that President Wilson, to whom
the matter has been presented,
will see it's great value to Amer
lea, industrially, socially and
morally.
Because it means employment
for the unemployed, homes for
the homeless and cleanliness for
the unclean.
Here is brief summary of Mr..
Owens gigantic and beautiful
idea:
Scientific art roads or auto
highways are to be grand magni6-
cent, multiway boulevards along
which tn people are to be at
tracted with order and system to
readjust themselves. their homes,
farms, factories, banks, villages,
schools, lecture halls and amuse-
ments.
While the width os the right
of way will be one mile, the width
of an auto highway proper will
be but 1,430 feet, and will con-
sist If one cement or brick paved
road twenty feet wide, on which
roller skaters will glide up and
down and across ways.
This roller skate road will be
the middle road of ten roads, five
on a side, in order that the five
different classes of vehicles now
in use will not only be confined
each class to its particular and
exclusive road, but that each class
VIII go out on road on one side
of the roller skate road and come
back on the other side of the roll
er-skate road. Taking one side,
the arrangement is to be as fol-
lows:
One cement road. fifteen feet
wide, with three steel plate. brick
or other improved ways for mo-
tor and other cycles; one cement
road twenty feet wide. with two
steel plate, brick or other i'm
proved ways for automobiles that
will mo- run more than. 25 miles

then, The Georgian has always
believed, the people will loudly

confined to American vessels only.
