Unless legislators relent in their prac-
tiCe of infictinG drastic and almost
strangling'' legislation upon public utili-
ties, the nation may not be able to take
advantage Of the business revival which
Is sure to come, according to views eX-
pressed in an address to the Alumni A.
ISOLATION of the Massachusetts Institute
OF Technology in Boston by Howard Ell
lott, chairman of the board Of directors
and president of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad Company.
Mr.. Elliott said in part:
There is a great field for the man
who is fortunate enough to receive a
technical training in the institute. broad
ened. at the same time by the influence
OF the liberal spirit of Harvard. In deal
ing with the problems OF the next TWEEN
ty-five years the trained mind and the
expert in every line will be needed to
produce efficiency and economy: but, at
the same time. the technical expert must
not lose sight OF the broader questions of
business as a whole and of the relations
OF the government to all business.
HRrd-headed Man Needed.
$50 We need the technical man and
the hard-headed business man and the
trained economist to do the work OF the
world to produce sane public opinion.
and to furnish public servants of good
sense and good experience, because the
government Is touching our daily lives in
so many places.
considerable advance has been made
i'm efficiency. in manufacturing, in fl
nance. in education, some in transpOrta-
ton, and there is very much more still
to be accomplished. Consider the busi-
ness ] am in. Our railroads are the most
efficient in the world and furnish more
and better service and at lower prices
than can be obtained in any other
country. They have made. and will con-
tinue to make. mistakes, just as people
do in all other kinds of business as wei!
as in government. One reason why they
are not as good as they ought to he is
that legislators. State and national, in
trying to correct mistakes which owners
and managers have made. have allowed
the siNpcnCe OF errors to blind them to
the dollars OF wonderful work already
done and being done every day. They
have. in their efforts to correct abuses
and mistakes which were gradually cor
recting themselves created conditions
which today make It almost impossible
for the owners and managers of rail-
roads to go ahead and do the very things
which the public wants them to do and
that the owners and managers want to
do.

Why then do men prefer the more complicated
society to such life as Robinson Crusoe led on
his island Why is it that men do not profit by
the experience OF Robinson Crusoe by settling on
islands, where they may live either alone or with
one comparison?
The reason is, OF course, that in the more com.
plcated society they receive many kinds OF ad-
vantage. For these kinds of advantage they are
willing to give up much OF their freedom. And
invariably they feel themselves compensated.
