 You may recall" says MT. Penney "the epigram of the cowboy who said: I like my business but it has never attracted my attention much History shows that every business that truly succeeded has done so because it did somebody's attention much: very much, superlatively much. Nor has any individual ever succeeded who has thought greatly of himself and little of his business.

 Company Incorporates
 In 1912 there were 34 stores oper- ating under that plan. and plans were made for 14 additional. The need was felt for closer organization and the business was incorporated in Salt Lake City, capitalized at $1,100,000, the S100,000 being common stock, and the remainder special class of preferred stock. At the present time the capi- talization is $15,000,000 authorized, of which $5,000,000 is common stock and S10,O00,00O preferred. The common stock is numbered in series according to the number of the store to which it applies. The partner manager of store No 3S, for instance, owns a stock of issue No. 38 in the J. c. Penney company. Every time a new store is opened, some man is advanced to part ncrship, and about five other men, all of partnership timber, are taken into the company.
 MT. Penney keeps alive the spirit of close contact with the individual worker by publishing "The Dynamo" a house organ, which acts as a clearing house of ideas and inspiration, and with an annual convention which takes all the managers and buyers together.
 Mr. Penney has no patent on the Idea. He picks good men, he trusts them they trust him. It is not part of the Penney plan that the only way for man to get ahead is by stepping or somebody under him. The Penney ,1,,-x fv,F <1<a beginning for a good reason.

 MT. Penney has never set up money making as his goal, but rather that greater ambition-man building. He has in his employ about 2000 people,

examples galore of starvation and misery finding
expression in rebellion.
Against this potential menace the American
bourgeoise is now more than ever uniting it's
forces. To ward off the imminent danger of
proetarian revolution, the Russian model of which
has proven such an inspiration to the world pro-
etariat, the capitalist class engages in covert war
fare with the Workers Republic of Russia, by
supplying war material for the counter-revolu-
tionary operations of the Kolchaks- -Denekins,
Wranges, etc. and by inaugurating an organized
campaign of defamation. falsehood and calumny
to delude the working-class into the belief that
the Russian experiment is failure unworthy of
emulation. Then there is the propaganda of the
so-called "Amercanization" movement, in es-
sence; the old ideoogy of poverty transformed
into wealth through the exercise of hard labor
thrift and obedience Should this peaceful front
fail, there is the ever-ready machinery of legal
force: raids. arrests, Jail terms, deportatons
and the whole paraphernalia of the capitalist
state power This in brief is the way the bour-
geoisie proposes to meet the present problem of
unemployment What about the workers?
The Mission Of The Proletariat.
AS already indicated. the interests of the two
classes are diametrically opposed. In the struggle
against bourgeois exploitation no halfway mea-
sures are of any avail. Nothing short of the aboli-
tin of capitalist rule can be of any permanent and
real value. The road then is clearly mapped out:
the proletariat must set out to accomplish it's
historic mission, the overthrow of capitalism.
The foundations for this struggle have already
been laid. Uniform, concerted revolutionary action
will shatter the decayed capitalist structure and
inaugurate in it's stead the new order based on an
equitable, rational and responsible relationship of
free happy, creative individuals, the Workers Re-
public!

SUGAR STOCKS
RAPIDLY BEING SOLD
TO MAINLAND INVESTORS

Unless Hawaiian holders of stock
in local plantations cease their pres
ont practice of selling to mainland
investors, it is only a question of
time until control of the Hawaiian
plantations shall pass out of our
hands into those of strangers. This
is the prophecy Of Charles J. Heiser,
treasurer of the Trent Trust Com
pany of Honolulu, in a recent issue of
"TrenTrusTics,' house organ Of that
company.
In support of this claim, Mr.. Heiser
quotes figures on the shares of stock
of Olaa, Oahu, Pioneer, Hawaiian
Commercial and the Hawaiian Sugar
Company, which are at the present
time the leaders in Mainland trans
actions. He gives these figures over
a period of years, and then translates
the number of shares into dollars and
cents, using an assumed price paid
by mainlandCTs as the tTanslating
medium.
For example, Mr.. Heiser's figures
show that during the year just pass
ed 22,34S shares of Oahu, 1873 of
Pioneer, 1892 of Olaa, $3.50 of II. c.
q S, and 1862 of Hawaiian Sugar has
been sold. The estimated prices of
sale are rather below present markets.
and therefore may be looked upon as
conservative. Estimated sale price of
Oahu was $40, Pioneer $3S, Olaa $12,
II. c. &. s., $50, and Hawaiian Sugar
S3S. Multiplying the number of shares
of each plantation by the estimated
cost per share, and then adding the
whole, gives a grand total of $2,071.-
S54 worth of stock, represented in
6O,O41 shares of these plantations.
Commenting upon this situation Mr..
Heiser says:
This means that around $4,000, 900
of our most active sugar issues have
nassed out of control of local invest
4 s during the past year or so and in
ml 3 instances the shares were sold
by !, n persons with the view of buy
ing in gain at a lower figure at a
later da 1t remains to be seen
whether I = will be possible. We
doubt if ma GLAND investors will care
to part with Nheir holdings now that
they have bo\ome familiar with this
type of investn mt. We have always
argued that one the interesting and
desirable feature e the industrial
life of Hawaii ar ! in which w.
have had much pr. as the owner

requires no great imagins ion after
analysing these figures to s\e in this

mainland interests of large Pcks of
