"a feature of the well developed foot
bail team that strikes the casual OBJ
server as wonderful is its team work
The team is IL snlooth-running human
machine, composed of eleven distinctive
parts forming a compact, united whole,
moving as one. Surely the results OBJ
tainable from such unity of action
should illustrate to every one the value
of cooperation. Today is the age OF
cooperation. In business, in industry,
government, commerce. war (Which is
all the more unfortunate)-in all of the
worlds activities-that is the basis OF
operation. Ever since man, FAR BACK
in the prehistoric stone age, recognized
the mutual benefits of living in villages
or fighting in groups cooperation has
advanced, becoming more and more
complex, until today it is an intricate,
endless chain connecting every indus
try in the world MonoEolles, trusts,
unions, corporations, systems, aSSocla-
lions are .all familiar terms resulting
from it's influence. 1t is d well known
business principle that two men work
ing together can accomplish more than
the same men working separately. For
merly watches, shoes, books, articles OF
clothing were all made and finished by
one person. Today, however. about 300
different workmen are required to
make and assemble a watch. A shoe
passes through the hands of 113 per-
sons before it is completed.
'By this process more shoes are made
in one day than could be made if each
person worked separately, not to men
ton a saving in expense and labor.
This is the economy of organization.
The time of individuality in business
has passed and co-opera ton has taken
its place. All of " hich is merely I'M
mistakable indication of the progress
of civilization.

The above quotation is familiar to

does not want to labor and to work to
make himself better citizen in the

among the people at the close CT the
victorious war with Russia and a
patriotic business boom also caused a
general rise in the standard Of living
and the price of commodities scared
as a result of the more Injurious
level Of expenditure. Then came re
action. This was due TO the burden
of extraordinary taxes to meet the
war debt and constant expenditures
in the building up of big army and
navy.
The government, however, is at
tacking the problem heroically by
making heavy retrenchments. Much

it has been decided to abandon for
the present at least, the long stand
ing proposal to create two more mil
itary divisions.

LAWSUIT FOR POSSESSION OF RAILROAD
BETWEEN GOLDF|ELD AND BEATTY

ceeiyer for the Bullfrog- -Goldfield
railroad and the application has been
pending ever since.
Now the Las Vegas & Tonopah ap-
plies to the Nevada Railroad Com
mission for permission to acquire the
Bullfrog line by merging it with its
own. line. between Goldfield and
Beatty. In its application the Clark
road relates that the decline Of the
southern country tributary to the
two railroads has been so great that
neither is able to operate except at
a loss and that the absorption of
the BIG. lin would enable the Las
Vegas road to curtai expenses.
There does not appear to be any
opposition to this suggestion except
that the proposition carries with 1t
the wiping out of the total bonded
indebtedness of the Bullfrog road,
amounting TO S1,64O,OO0. Of six per
cent bonds, which the proponents ask
to have converted into stock. The
result of this conversion would be TO
eliminate the bondholders and leave
them without any recourse for col
lection OF their holdings By the
appointment OF a receiver the bond
holders think they would be in q
better position to negotiate for the
sale OF the road, which secures their
bonds or to make better terms than
to tamely submit to extinguishment
The bondholders will oppose the
merger on the grounds that sucf
merger Is violation OF the Sher
man antitrust law. which prohibits
the consolidation of parallel carriers
operating within ninety miles of eacl
1 other.
