The Ford Company begins it's
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
generosity-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. Pos
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 0,000, 900 has
been fixed upon as the sum that
win be divided during the com
ing year among the Ford en-
ployees Payments from this
sum aiV " pC hihbS III lhS pay

estimable superiority of this sys-

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
a precise knowledge of what one
has and what one may fairly
hope TO save. The Ford system
will distinctly develop thrift.
This magnifieently 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.

Attorney Generals Blow to Shipping
.HE GEORGIAN has protest

THE 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 8 per cent discount on
imports in American vessels is in
operative.
The proviso forbade such a
construction of the subsection as
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
written opinion quoted articles
from treaties, showing their scope.
This opinion was made a 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 whit 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 it 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 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 the litigation in New
York and Boston over the en-
forcement Of the per cent diff
ferentiai 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. 1t was inevi-
table that importers should seek
redress at the hands Of the courts
for the non reinforcement of the
subsection. The dispatch in ques-
ton further states:
Although the Department Of
Justice, through Attorney General
McReynoIds, has ruled against
the enforcement of the differen-
jtiaI as being Impractical. of ap-
Plioation, It is understood that
customs brokers and lawyers be-
iiass they can have good case
against tho Government in the
enforcement Of the differentiaI,
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 Of foreign

The Scientific Art=R0ad OF the Future

TT has been observed with wit

Logan Waller Page director of
the United States Office of Pub
lie Roads, says: Nations are as
strong or as weak as their roads

The Roman road system was
wonderful. Every conquered
province was traversed in all di-
rections with connecting roads.
OF the narrow paths, three to
six feet wide, found in conquered
Gaul, no less than $4,000 miles are
said to have been improved. In
Britain the road improvement is
estimated to have been at least
$500 miles. Across the Alps.

Nor was this energy directed
exclusively toward imperial prog

the movement of legions, or to
satiate an empire with the lux

at first, at least later in her de-
velopment, Rome saw in her roads
value other than military, for. in
the reign of Augustus, there was
a seemingly well-devised system

nation. That Is the relief tina,

ought to be the relief the Presi
dent will favor; it Is the kind Of
relief that WILL HELP AMERI-
CAN SHIPPING; 1T is THE
KIND OF RELIEF THAT FOR

The Georgian believes that the

Oscar w. Underwood has pi-
oneered it. VIII he infuse still
more virility and force into it
through the termination Of all
existing trade treaties? When i'm

enjoy the per cent discount,
then, The Georgian has always
believed, the people will loudly
demand the termination OF
treaties that give them such ben
efits, SO that the benefits will be
confined to American vessels only
The Georgian feels some pride
in the support 1t has unwaver-
ingly given to this, the most i'm
portant section Of the entire tariff.

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 II 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 corporation
could be so advantageous to a
city as their distribution among
great multitude of employees.
The Ford Company is about to
double the purchasing power OF
thousands of it's employees, and
greatly increase Il for many
thousands more. What this will
mean to the business community
of Detroit and of the other cities
in which Ford branches are~lo-
Gated is apparent
II 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 1t makes are bought by peo-
pie to whom the expenditure OF
few hundred dollars is an event,
and car a highly priced possess
sion not to be discarded for a
within of fashion. It's customers
are precisely those who first
would feel the pinch OF hard
times. lessened employment.
siackened industry and falling
wages.
Knowing this, and undoubtedly
not deaf to the dismal forebod-
ings of pessimists, Henry Ford
announces a policy which will
give employment to one-t third
more workers, which enormously
increases regular wages and con-
fidently assures employees share
in prodigious profits to be earned
in 1914
The business community owes
Henry Ford an inestimable 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.

filling 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 1t is to be hoped
that President Wilson, to whom
the matter has been presented,
will see its 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

cent, multiWay boulevards along

readJust themselves, their homes,
farms, factories, banks, villages,

ments.
While the width of 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 of 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

tor and other cycles: one cement

brick or other improved ways, for

road twenty feet wide, with two
steel tracks, one for electric cars
for passengers and one for cleo
trio cars for freights; and one ce-
ment road twenty feet wide, with
two steel plate, brick or other
improved ways, for carts, wagons
and carriages.
Altogether, an highway
proper consists of eleven roads
two zones, each 80 feet wide, for
water, gas and oil pipes; for
tubes for drainage, wires and ca
bles. and tubes for pneumatic and
other services; six zones, each lou
feet wide, for factories, pubic
p buildings and dwellings; two
park zones, each twenty feet
wide; four lawn and flower zones,
each twenty feet wide; sixteen

wide, and twelve footways, each
ten feet wide. The remainder OF
the area included in the mile
wide right of way will be occu-
pied by farms, orchards, forests

Auto highways stand for the
combination of roads, rails, tracks
