HOW TO OBTAIN LARGE INCOMES.
Secret Is to Get Others to Work Out
Your Ideas, Etc.


London, Dec. %, Most healthy men
and women are potential earners of
Gl0O00 a year, according to G. r. Hig
ham, member of Parliament MIR Hig
ham recently told members of the eff
cheney club how to earn this big in
come
"Ten thousand year men never
write asking for a position" he de-
clared THE secret of how TO obtain
large incomes is to get others to work
out your ideas, to have the courage Of
your convictions, to be able to say YES
or mo- on the instant and to stick to
your decision. Men who can make up
their own minds and make up other
peoples minds are so few that only
these few get 10000 year or more
in business"
Most men and women, he said. wait
for opportunity to knock at the door
and when it does they are usually too
tired to get up. Opportunities are
made. They rarely seek one out, II
people want to earn 10000 they make
up their minds to get it and let nothing
stand in their way If it is worth hay
ing it is worth fighting for.
Few 100000 year men are really
happy men, said the speaker. They
have that terrible discomfort that is
never satisfied The man who thinks
he can earn 10000 a year should de-
eide whether he really wants it, He
will not get it if he does not make up
his mind and one day, when he gets it,
he will probably regret It. A man
should never envy the successful, but
emulate them. He should show to his
employers an infinite capacity for TAX
ing pains and be ready for any question
or emergency.
BE careful Of your personal appear
anee," he proceeded, Took prosperous,
act prosperous, be an optimist. Pes.
simists never get far. BE kind; that is
a great virtue. Be courteous. 1t is the
cheapest thing in the world and being
so easy to do most people don't do it.
Never break your word.
Sack yourself from the job that does
not make you happy to perform it.
No man ever got on if he bemoaned
the fate that placed him in that bust
ness You must take chances if you
want big prizes Have faith in your
self or no one else will. The world
judges you by what you can and do
do-not by what you say you can do.
"The greatest business task in the
world" he concluded, lis the organiza-
tion and development Of the British
empire Its managing director, David
Lloyd George, considering his great ca
pacity, energy vision and decision, il
tie poorest paid managing director in
the world. He needs dozen 10000
year men to help him. But the state
also limits his authority for paying for
brains to few thousand a year. His
minister Of labor, one Of the most com
peteut men in the kingdom, gets pal
try $4,000 n year-a tirst-class man
on third class income. The state
must learn to pay its public servants
better
Directors Of great corporations need
a new point of view also, Throughout
the country directors getting fees Of
$500 year spend many wasted hours
seeing how they can avoid paying a
man 100000 year to run the business
while they waste 10000 a month for
the shareholders while they debate the
point Directors Of limited liability
companies have still much to learn.
And so has labor as a whole.
no man who works eight hours a
day for minimum wage win ever
earn 10000 year. The labor lead
ers are working day and night trying
to get shorter hours for those who la
Dor. And they are poorly paid for their
work also. j. H. Thomas, president of
the National Union Of Railway Men
also is worth 10000 a YEAR
