TRUSTS, GOOD AND BAD.

Industrial and moral changes that
have taken place in the country since
the passage of th.e Sherman antitrust
it might be amended to the benefit OF
the public, writes Frank K. Nebeker.
former assistant to the attorney. gen
eral of the United States. in The Ma
tons Business. Under the preceding
administration Mr.. Nebeker had
charge Of all the antitrust activities
of the department of justice.
Mr.. Nebeker says that it is his be-
lief that the Sherman antitrust act
would be greatly improved if so
amended as to permit the courts. in
applying it to concrete cases, to give
broader scope in their consideration of
fundamental economic principles.
For example. if in given case the
court finds that an agreement or COM
bination between competitors has ac-
tually resulted in direct restraint of
trade, that ends the matter, and judg-
ment against the defendant follows as
a matter of course. The fact may be
that, altho the agreement or combina-
ton does restrain trade in a given
particular, and with respect to a GER
tain phase of public interest, it's eff
feet, nevertheless, may be to stimulate
trade in other directions to such an
extent as to be greatly beneficial 20
the public interest when the entire
situation is considered.
This and other apparent defects of
a similar nature, he says, could be
eliminated by an amendment to the
effect that agreements and combina-
tions in restraint of trade are prohib-
tied only when found to be detrimen-
tai to the public interest after all fac
tors are given due consideration.
The writer appears to favor official
recognition of the existence of good
and bad trusts. But there is no rec
ord showing that either kind ever has
been seriously disturbed by efforts TO
enforce the law. The public usually
has been the goat.

A GROWING INDUSTRY.

According to report issued by the
federal bureau of public roads, a to-
tai of s,245,195 automobiles, trucks
and commercial motor vehicles was
registered in the forty eight states
and the District of Columbia during
the first six months of the present
year. The fees collected from these
registrations and the licensing of
drivers yielded a gross revenue of
s10S,213.165. These figures are an
increase of nearly 100000 over the
entire twelve months of 1920. Ac-
cording to the bureau. 95 per cent Of
this revenue is available for expendi-
ture for work on public highways.
This sum. added to the SIS, 1000, 900
of federal funds soon to be available
for public highway construction,
which, when duplicated by the states,
will mean s15O,OOO,OO0, is greatly
more significant as stimulant to in
dustry than appears on its face. Pub
lie highway construction has become
one of the country's greatest indus
tries. Such work affects 5000 fed
eral, state, county, township and city
employees and officials connected ex-
clusively with highway work, 1000
road contractors, 5000 bridge con-
tractors, 1000 manufacturers of road
building machinery and appliances,
over 1000 concerns manufacturing
highway equipment and practically
5000 civil and highway engineers.
There are, according to highway
statistics. over 200 firms manufactur-
ing road building cement, represent
ing an Investment of $Ss6,Ooo,OOo and
having an annual output of 1876
O00, 900 barrels. There are 1877 paw
ing brick manufacturers. representing
an invested capital of $1s,OOO,o0O.
There are 46 wooden paving block
manufacturers. 23 manufacturers of
granite blocks. and 500 dealers in
crushed stone, These three industries
represent an invested capital of $44,-
100000. There are $50 concerns
handling sand and gravel and AZ con-
Germs manufacturing asphalt. These
two industries represent a capital in
vestment of s140.O0O.OOO.
In addition to these Industries,
which are directly and almost solely
concerned with highway construction,
there are the industries which are
benefited by public highway construc-
ton such as manufacturers Of wire,
picks, and shovels, oils, tar. pitch and
all sorts of materials and supplies
which enter into highway work. This
list does-not include the concerns
which are engaged in the manufac-
ture of trucks, tractors and other road
machinery.
The resumption of activity in pub
lie highway construction will give en-
ployment not only to the 500, 900 to
10000 men actually at work on the
highways but It will give employment
to tens of thousands of persons who
are connected with industries that are
largely dependent for their prosperity
upon highway construction and main
tenance. The effoct of all this on
the manufacture and sale of automo-
biles cannot be estimated.

Daily Talk
A BANKRUPT.

He was walking down the street,
The morning of life would never come
to him again. His body was bent.
His clothes were old and i'll kept.
A sign was on his back. 1t read:
Bankrupt Sale, etc.
And 1 wondered if he realized that
he was carrying the sign of his own
sad failure. Maybe he did. But l at
least admired his willingness to do
SOMETHING pity, as well as
I wondered about the years that
had gone before. I had a curious de-
sire to get him aside that 1 might
learn the whole, true tale.
And then my mind ran to the other
end-to the store that was to sell its
stock and the man. or men. back of
this commercial failure. And then
I thought of the many failures hap
pening all the time-everywhere
Why is it that some men fail and
others cannot fail? 1 asked this of
myself
rupt business, or a bankrupt man.
But deeper in darkness is a bankrupt
mind!
And that is where. believe. all
bankruptcy starts.
We win largely because we say in
our hearts that We will not fail. We
keep our minds stored ana prepared
against the unexpected.
I believe the first thing a boy
should be taught is to lay up some
thing for the future-something to
give him strength and will when the
unforeseen comes.
There is nothing in this world that
breaks down the grand structure of
ones will as using up all the resources
at ones command with the coming
and passing of each day.
But there are extremes in saving
as well as in wasting. There are
many who become rich in money, but
who face their end pitiful bankFupts
in soul.
He succeeds best who helps others
to succeed. And there can be no
bankruptcy here!

Where's Maud B1ank?" asked a
young man of my acquaintance the
other day. Last winter / met YOU
playing around with her everywhere
and this winter haven't seen you to-
gether single time. What's hap
pened?"
Nothing" he replied. you know
am studying to be doctor. and so
am following my own prescription
and taking the. proverbial ounce of
prevention that is worth the pound
OF cure. Maud was becoming too
dangerous for me. All of my symp-
toms were beginning to indicate a
violent, and perhaps fatal case of love
fever. and SO the only safe way was
to quarantine myself against it by not
going near her.
You see," he went on seriously.
my uncle is paying for my educa-
ton and he has a right to expect me
to make good, which I couldn't do if
was giving the best of my thoughts
to sentiment instead of study, Be
sides. after I>graduate here 1 am to
have two years at the best hospitals
In New York, and three years more

and Paris.

different needs, a different outlook on
life. shall have read, and studied,
and met distinguished men and wom-
en-. and learned much that don't
know now about the great world. I
do not know what sort of a man it
will make me. I do not know the
kind of wife that will then want and
need.
81 am more than half in love with
Maud now, and have a suspicion that
could win her heart if 1 tried to
very hard, but she might not care at
all for the stranger that will be five
years from now so it seems to me
that it wouldn't be fair to her to ask
her to wait for a husband she might
not want. So I am going to leave
her free, and am going away I'M
fettered, and what happens to our lit
tie romance in the future, lies on the
knees of the GODS
There spoke a man of honor, and
of good, hard, horse sense. For if
there is one sentimental complication
that almost invariably spells disaster
for both the man and the woman it
is the long engagement. And this is
especially true when the long engage
ment has to bridge over a long sep
aration.
A long engagement rubs the bloom
off romance, and takes the thrill out
of love- even when a man and woman
live in the same community, and see
each other daily, and are developed
by the same environment. A wedding
cake must be eaten while it is hot
and fresh from the griddle, or else
it falls as flat and stale as yesterdays
pancakes.

In the past month the railroads of
the country Rre reported to have
placed orders for Approximately $780,
600. 900 worth OF new equipment and
rails. 1t is said they are seeking
other contracts for about half that
amount The manufacturers of rail-
road supplies are looking forward to a
record year in 1922. All of which
means that the prospects in all in
dustries are bright. The railroads re-
fleet accurately the state of business
in general, for the volume of freight
they receive is measured by the ac-
tivity of manufactures.

with the various reductions in
freight rates announced since August
1920" says a bulletin issued by the
National City bank of Chicago. cit is
estimated that the carriers have been
deprived of income amounting to
s175.OOO, 600 or 5000. 100000 year."
This statement might be difficult to
demonstrate. The fact appears TO be
that as reductions in rates have been
made the net income of the roads has
increased. 1t is obvious, continues
the bulletin, that further changes
must be made both In freight rates
and in wage schedules before produc-
ton costs can be lowered to a basis
at which new business will be greatly
stimulated. This is the need of the
hour. for buying must be materially
increased in order to build up business
and keep it healthy and strong. Trans
portation charges always play an i'm
portant part in production costs and
reducing such charges will tend to in
crease production, thus providing en-
ployment for idle workers, and will
assist in restoring nationwide pros
perity. It might be added that ma
tiou-wide prosperity is the greatest
need of the railroads and one which
they can assist greatly in supplying.

JUST FOLKS
BY EDGAR 4. GUEST.

MY COUNTRY.
I'd like to give my country all my best,
To feel somehow that I have earned her
smile,
That she has found my little life worth
while,
That ! have never failed her in the test,
Never held self above her interest
Or given ear to any traitors guile,
But have been steadfast to the farthest
mile
And earned the right to sleep upon her
breast.
Just as a mother smiles upon her son
Who has not failed her teachings, and
is glad
When home he comes, with all his victories
won.
That such a man was once her little lad
I hope my country to the end may be
Happy to own that she has mothered me.
