Government ownership of railroads
may be as desirable in this country as it
is in Germany, but we must first have
public servants who will at least come
somewhere near the standard of Ger
manys public servants in efficiency and
honesty.
Capitalization is the order Of the day.
The telegraph, the telephone. the auto
mobile and the airship are the causes.
They have wiped out not only old prece-
dents and customs, but State and ma
tiona lines as well.
A man living in Boston who wishes
to talk to a man living in San Fran
cisco simply rings a bell. puts little
instrument to his ear and proceeds to
talk. There is hardly a miracle in the
Bible more wonderful than this.
The doctrine of State rights" is be-
ing rapidly demolished.
The State, viewed az an individual
with the right to do As il pleases within
itself, without regard for other States,
can no longer be tolerated.
We must therefore take on a new ma
tionalism.
The mighty changes taking place in
Europe tell us with unmistakable voice
that the reconstruction period is at hand.
The man of the future must realize it
He must not look back TO the setting but
forward to the rising sun.

''Individualism'' is as dead As smelt
That is my contention.
In this country We have been living
An an age of the utmost freedom to the
sndividuaL 1t has been the individual
kstic period.
In the early days, when instantaneous
fntercommunicatio ton did not exist. when
education was meagre and science un-
developed, what the individual did was
OF comparatively small consequence, for
his deeds did not reach very far and did
mot affect many people.
with intercOmmunication drawing
the world together in one centralized
community, the act of the individrIa .
can affect n large number of persons;
therefore, that form of freedom which
rs simpIy another expression for IL
~,ensc 90 do ms one pIeases can no
Hcnser exist.
Society is finding it necessary to take
sway much of what has hitherto been
called freedom of the individual" In
my judgment this process is only in it's
infancy.
Until recent years little broad think
ing was given to this problem and diff
ferences were settled on the basis of
might makes right" All this is rap
IDLY changing and we are entering a
period of new industrial relationships
In my Judgment We are Just now
catering a period of copartnership,
where the tool user will be part tool
owner and where capital and labor
wnI share more eauitsbly I'm the
wrofits of the business In which they
sxe Jointly engaged.
This advance is inevitable because Of
our educational system, which teaches
the workingman to think for himself y
II In inevitable because strikes and
s~ckouts can never be settled satisfac-
asr1y or permanently by merely rails
ing n mans wages.
No mere increase i'm wages can ever
satisfactorily solve this problem. 1t can
oe solved only on the basis of profit
sharing.
by profit sharing l do not mean bonus
giving.
Profit sharing can be done satisfacto-
rDy only when the business concern makes
public its transactions, so that the la
borer and the stakeholder can know as
much about the business as does the
manager himself.
I'm the adjustment of difficulties he
tween capital and labor L am conf
dent that open books will accomplish
mnch more than open shops.
About the only goal we have had has
been the almighty dollar. The first
question asked when man dies is,

scarcely thought AZ to how much he
did for his community or his country.
But what has it all amounted to?
On the whole. the individuaiistic age
has not been n success, either for the
Individual or the community I'm which
he has lived, or the nation.
We are, beyond question. entering on
a period where the welfare of the COM
munity takes precedence over the inter
ests of the individual and where the lib
erty Of the individual will be more and
more circumscribed for the benefit Of the
community as a whole.
Our only decoration-the almighty
dollar-is receding into the background.
The man of exceptional ability, of
more than ordinary talent, will here
after look for his rewards, for his hon
ors, not in one direction but in two =
First-and foremost-in some public
work accomplished and, secondarily, in
wealth acquired.
One reason why / am strongly for
universal military training is that it
develops in the youth sense of all
around responsibility to his country. not
only in time Of war but in time of
peace.

great deal about government owner
