"Your scheme is preposterous in the
extreme. 1t is of SO extravagant a
character as to be positively absurd.
Then look at the reckleSSneSS of your
proceedings! You are proposing to
cut up our estates in all directions for
the purpose of making an unnecessary
road. Do you think for one moment
of the destruction of property in itT'
Such was the comment of one Sir
Ashley Cooper, great Englishman,
on the first railroad that Stephenson
proposed in England!
Other comments of the time are also
interesting. For example, Mr.. Berk-
eley, member of parliament for Chel-
tenham, said: Nothing is more dis
tasteful to me than to hear the echo
of our hills reverberating the noise
of kissing railroad engines running
through the heart of our hunting coun-
try and destroying the noble sport to
which l have been accustomed from
my childhood"
But this is mild in comparison with
what one Colonel Sibthorpe said: Il
would rather meet a highwayman or
see burglar on my premises than an
engineer"
Physicians stated that travelling
through tunnels would expose healthy
people to colds, catarrh and consump-
tiO1.
Witness this reassuring article ap-
bearing in the London Quarterly Ke'
view in 1925: ut is certainly some
consolation to those who are to be
whirled at the rate of Is or 70 miles
an hour. by means of a hfgh-pressure
engine. to be told that they are In no
danger of being sea sick while on
shore; that they are not to be scaldeo
to death nor drowned by the bursting
of a boiler; and that they need not
mind being hit by the scattered frag-
ments or dashed to pieces by the mr.
ing off or the breaking of wheel. But
with all those assurances we shouid
expect the people of Woolwich to sur
fer themselves to be fired off upon one
of the Congreve's ricochet rockets, as
trust themselves to the mercy OF an
engine, going at such rate.
Indeed. for long time, the NOBILITY
of England would not ride on
the railroads. If any travelling was
to be done they would allow their
servants. with the baggage, to use the
railroad, but for themselves they al

hered to the old plan of stagecOach.
This occurred during the beginning
of what economists have called the
industrial revolution" At that time
there followed in rapid succession the
invention of many machines, such as
the steam engine, cotton gin, spinning
jenny, and the like. This revolution"
ushered in the highly developed and
organized world we live in today. 1t
enabled Stephenson to, bring the first
locomotive to workable stage in 1880.
1t also led to the construction of the
first steamboat in 1907 by Fulton.
These two factors in modern trans
portation have done much for the
world They have developed contin-
nents, brought the products of distant
lands to your table, knit together ma
tons through exchange with one an
other, and equalized the distribution of
food. This latter is perhaps one of the
most important boons it has conferred
upon mankind. The fearful famines"
of the past, where millions of people
have persisted through failure of crops
in one district, could have been relieved
if adequate transportation agencies
were in existence and ready to equa-
lie the extremes of plenty and want
maintaining throughout the world.
But the modern transportation sys-
tenn that has relieved famines in In
dia. China, Ireland. and more recently
Belgium, would not be possible If the
millions of dollars required for It's
financing were not available. And so
almost simultaneous with the indus
trial revolution people began to save
and invest money. Savings banks were
established and banks multiplied. 1t
is an astonishing fact that previous to
this period and since the time of Rome
the accumulation of capital by lndl-
viduals was practically unknown.
Now capital is largely obtained by
offering bonds for the investment Of
the funds of many people. Your city
erects schoolhouses and bridges; your
county builds roads; the country as a
whole carries on its share In the pres
emf war-all through bonds.
J1st as the funds Of thousands OF
investors have made possible the re-
building of American cities, so has
the same principle made possible the
progress and wonders of the twentieth
century.

South Sea company, formed for the pur-
pose of trading in the South Seas, enu-
ed with a crash when most OF the dl-
rectors sold out when the value OF their
shares had been stimulated to reach
1000.
These early attempts at large scale
business organization ushered IN the
modern type of corporation. A brleI
sketch of how our present complex
business organization evolved should
be interesting to the readers OF this
series, for the greater proportion OF
banking is inseparably linked with
business. Many of the investment
bonds on the market today are oDli-
cations of corporations.
The corporation, in it's essential prin-
ciples, has been traced back as far as
ancient Babylon. 1t grew out OF the
activities of families in commercial
ventures. A family of fishermen would
be as one in the ownership of boats.
equipment and in their operation.
Their trust in one another led natural
ly to the recognition of each member
as an agent of the firm, whose acts
bound the others, and to the unlimited
liability of each for payment of obi
gatiens-features of the partnership.

ship in handling large projects and in
limiting the liability of members. 1t
is asserted by Blackstone that the cor
poration as we see it today descended
directly from the practice of Roman
business men. The Roman corpora
tons were known as colleges" They
enabled aristocratic Romans to engage
in vulgar trade secretly.
In medieval times the corporation
form of organization was used chiefly
Avith municipalities and ecclesiastical
bodies. Guilds and municipalities were
often chartered by the crown because
they could exercise the power which
the king himself was unable to WELD.
The American trust is not strictly
American. The idea of trusts Origi-
mated in the middle ages through the
desire of the church to get around the
statutes of "mortmain." THESE laws
were not favorable to those who had
estates willed to them in perpetuity.
The scheme adopted was to have prop
erty decided to third party, who would
administer it for the benefit of the
church. This is similar to the modern
trust organization, where stock OF va
rious corporations is held in trust by
a holding company. Probably the pop
ular idea that trusts are illegal origi-
mated in this first evasion of the law.
The trade union has apparently al
ways existed. The Romans had them.
In medieval times they were called
guilds and crafts. Journeymen often
formed associations for protection. The
purpose they gave was religious wor-
ship, but that was only a cover for
what we would now call trade unions.
They conducted strikes and obtained
increases in wages.
