of the corporation policy of safety
first" Formerly, this policy was illus
trated in the retention of skilled
counsel to fight claims against cor
p~orations for damages for personal in
jury. The responsibility and honors
went to the legal fraternity, whereas
today it has shifted to the engineer
ing profession, inasmuch as corpora
lions are taking preventive measures
to protect their employees, thus pre-
venting accidents and the liability of
suits. This change is reflected in the
attitude of ~juries, who are now as
prone to find a verdict favorable to
the corporation as formerly they were
minded to find for the plaintiff. In
CLOSING. Mr.. Quayle saw an a~llegorical
significance to good roads day." and
the profession of the guest of honor
Bishop Spalding. and proposed this
toast. ITO Bishop Spalding, whose
charge it is to keep in good repair the
final road to heaven" 1t was drunk
standing.-in spring water.
DIR. Richardson was next announced,
the toast master recalling a former
effort of the popular doctors when he
gave at a similar banquet, some good
advice to ministers. He was request4
ed to repeat this advice, but 1t had
slipped from his memory in its essen
tials. but he contributed instead an
appropriate anecdote. and introduced
an incident of his having heard Bish-
op Spalding deliver one of the best
ermon he (the DOCTOR had ever
heard. The time was several years
ago, the place a street corner in Salt
Lake City. and DIR. Richardson was
the only one of the audience, as ths
sermon had been delivered 10 him
personally. The facts leading up to
this remarkable incident followed DIR.
Richardson's appointment of the
vestry of the church in Ely. The
doctor considered that he was in no
sense qualified for this position, and
tried unayailingly with the local min
lister to be released. Being in Salt
Lake City he met Bishop S~palding.
and decided to carry the matter of his
resignation to a higher authority. He
told the bishop what an all.around
sinner he a and that the office of
vestryman was in NJ way consistent
with his manner of living. But the
bishop. instead of administering a
scathing rebuke, had only placed his
hand on his shoulder and said.
Doctor, why don't you try and be
better?" DIR. Richardson appreciated
the magnanimity and thought that
the same sentiment might be employ
ed by many to good advantage in eff
forts to encourage the hayward.
Senator Gallagher in response to
the toast Go to Church. saw an in-
spring motive in so large a turn out
of representative men to meet one of
the country's leading clergymen.
Going further into the subject. the
senator suggested that the practice be
continued by encouraging the home
minister by going to church occasion
ally or whenever the opportunity CT,
fered. Senator Gallagher, himself
consistent in his church attendance.
made al appeal to the men to 90 to
church occasionally, even at an oc-
casional personal sacrifice.
Rev. j. w. Gum. rector of st. Bar
tholomew's church, was next intro
duced.
Mr.. Gum responded to the toast
Social Service locally applied. He
began by a humorous reference to
people who were "close-fsted,' =
which We in Nevada call tight
wads." and then noted that the tax
payers of White Pine County were
certainly not included with that
class. Our taxpayers pay cheerfully
and make no kick. The speaker
then pointed u that, viewed from
the standpoint of social service, E
taxpayers duty was not done when
he had thus cheerfully paid his
taxes. Il became his further duty
then to follow up his money and see
how II was being spent. Suppose for
example our county commissioners
set apart $4,000 each year to care
for the county's poor. That act
alone shows a generous disposition
towards those who were down and
out" But is the money spent in n
way to help the poor out of theii
poverty or is il spent In a way to
bind them more closely into poverty.
