# the greatest industrial successes in

history
If the ivory-headed railroad man
ayers could once get this viewpoint
furnishing service at price which the
public can pay-and demand the same
efficiency in employees as Henry Ford
does, much lower freight rates would
pay handsome dividends.
The great need of the transportation
world is a man with the common bust
ness sense of Henry Ford
1t has been asserted that Henry
Ford, surrounded by such assistants
as he has now in his organization,
could take the railroads, cut rates so
per cent, pay dividends and not re-
duce wages The elimination of drones
now connected with the roads and an
increased efficiency would turn the
trick The statement that employees
did not expect to work as well as in
previous times would have little weight
with him., 1t would be either work or

Mr.. CARNEGIE BEFORE THE TAR.
IFF INVESTIGATING CON-
MlTTEE

Mr.. Carnegie was then asked how
he reached the conclusion that the
Steel Co. no longer needed protection
to do business at a profit Mr.. Car
negie held up-the last annual report
of the Steel Co. and said that any man
who was not willfully blind to the
plain lesson of figures must see that
the company needed no protection
and could produce steel successfully
in competitor with all the world Gap
plause on the Democratic side.)
The gentleman, think, will not con-
tradict that. 1t is quite true that Mr..
Carnegie had enjoyed the benefit of
protective tariff in former years
Indeed, he had been very urgent in
demanding it for his industry. But
we were not very much interested
at least was not--in the necessity
for protection several years before
What we were deeply interested in
then was whether protection was need
ed in 1909, and the greatest and sound
est authority upon that subject, giving
the sources of his conclusions, said
that nobody but one willfully blind
would say protection was needed at
that time. | do not think the gentle
man from Michigan is willfully blind,
but do think that he is most unfor-
tunately and preversely blind on every
question that affects this most per-
nicious doctrine. I say this: If Mr..
Carnegie had never testified, we have

enormous exaction no return what

Mr.. HARDING AND coMPENsA
TIoN

But for the opposition of President
Harding as expressed in his recent
message to Congress, the adjusted
compensation bill would undoubtedly
have become law at this session
BY taking an unprecedented step Mr..
Harding prevented the passage of a
measure which a majority of the peo-
pie of this country and majority of
our national legislators had come to
regard as inherently founded on JUS
| tice
unusual action cannot now be foretold.
Nothing is settled until it is settled
right. !. Therefore the question of
equalizing the economic disadvantages
suffered by the men who served their
country is not settled The duty of
the nation to its defenders will remain
burden on the public conscience
until that duty is fulfilled. The best
to be hoped, probably, is that the
present bill will be revived and enact
ed after a period of months; the worst
to be feared is that Federal assistance
will be delayed so long that it will
lose much of its practical value and
that ultimately a pension system will
be adopted with all of its disadvan-
tages, it's evils, its susceptibility to
political manipulation
In the meantime the United States
stands as country which has refused
to meet an obligation, and the most
ungrateful of nations. Great Britain,
Canada, New Zealand, Australia
France, Belgium, Italy-all have adopt
ed compensation measures. Only
America cannot AFFORD assistance to
its soldiers. Only America has not
regarded the economic rehabilitation
of its ex-service men as primary
step in national sterilization. Only
America has forgotten.
A Conviction Based on FaIlacy
When Congressman Fordney, chair
man of the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House of Representa-
tives, indicating that he would not be
influenced by the Presidents message,
said that it left him unconvinced, he
voiced thought that was in many
minds. Unconvinced Mr. Harding's
address must have left every fair
minded person who has studied the
compensation question That Mr..
Harding is honest in his conviction
is obvious. Equally obvious is the
fact that his conviction is founded on
fallacy This is apparent from the
message itself. 1t is message of
specious and selfrefuting arguments,
a message which begs the main issues
by presenting irrelevent facts, a mes
sage embodying premises based upon
inaccurate information. Mr.. Harding
did not make out case against adj
justed compensation No sound case
against it exists. When the Senate
voted to recommit the bill it bowed |
to the will of the Executive. It did |
not bow to fact or reason. American

REDUCTION OF FREIGHT RATES

The Ohio State Journal, Columbus,
one of the leading daily newspapers
of Ohio, had the following editorial in
its issue of July 81:
Henry Ford has asked the state Of
Ohio to permit him to reduce freight
rates 20 per cent on all shipments
made over the Detroit, Toledo and
Ironton Railway which he owns and
| is operating. Presumably the mem
bers of the utilities commission will
not object to an advantage of that i'm
portance being given to the people of
the state. If Mr.. Ford can make
| reduction of such Importance, the state
might well move quickly that it may
come at the earliest possible moment.
Very frankly Mr.. Ford admits he
is operating the railway contrary to
all railway form and precedent, but
he is making extensive betterments
and the road is operating successfully.
1t has been crippled and despised
railway orphan, apparently a hopeless
failure, yet Mr.. Ford is authority for
the statement that the road is now pay
ing, the first time it has ever been in
that happy position since it was con-
structed. He has trimmed overhead
expenses, and every unnecessary cost
has been eliminated. That has
brought about a greater saving, which
he is now anxious to pass on to the
public Certainly the state might well
help him in that effort.
shippers have contended that a.
substantial reduction in freight rates
would be a spur to industry Rates
have been advanced so many times
and so much they now hinder rather
than help business. Industrial lead
ers would give quick attention to an
important reduction, because it would
help open possibilities for activity.
Ford may be considered a railway out
law, but if he can trim overhead, cut
freight rates and offer advantage to
the public he is the man of the hour,
the particular individual for whom
the public has been looking His line
reaches from the Ohio River to De-
troit. touches many cities of impor-
tance, runs through important pro-
ductive territory. A 20 per cent re-
duction in freight rates would be of
immense advantage to the Western
section of the static and of untold val
ne to the coal territory through
which his road runs. The demand is
for action, not orations. Ford offers
action
About which the New York Packer
makes the following comments:
As noted elsewhere in The Packer
this week, petition has been present |
ed to President Harding by fruit grow
ers of Michigan that the railroads be |
turned over to Henry Ford for oper-
alton. A great many people believe
that Mr. Ford could take the entire /
railroad industry of the country. put
it on an efficient basis, reduce rates
tremendously and pay liberal divi-
dends to the investors who have their
money in railroad property. Eff
cheney is the keynote of Ford's oper-
atoms. He never has been cheap
man in his treatment of employees. but
was the first to pay high wages. How
ever, he demands efficient service on
the part of his men and gets it. His
speciality has been providing the pub
lic with convenience at price which
could be paid-quantity production at
2 low cost per unit through efficient
0rganization-and he has made one I,

 Bay once bet a lady that he could hide so effeetually in her bedroom that she could never discover him. She hunted high and low, but never a trace of the hidden one could she see.
 '@rhe lady was completely at her wits end, and at last, when she had literally gone all over the room inch by inch, she was startled out of her seven senses by hearing Bays voice exclaiming: 'Hullo! can see you" This was q puzzler and no mistake, but the mystery was at last solved, for Middleton. who was long and thin, had got inside the bolsteri''
