Opposes State Division
and CAPITAL Removal.

Whether it is to be a removal of the
capital from Tallahassee to some
South Florida point, or a division of
the state into Florida and South Flor
ida, seems to be an all-absorbing
question with good many people in
the state at the present time. Person
ally we are opposed TO either, and do
not believe that either will come with
in the next few years, however the ten
dency of the times points to one or the
other of these plans as being the prob
able outcome of the economic differ
ences that now exist in the state. I'm
der these circumstances it would be
just as well for the people of West
Florida to be considering this matter
and so be prepared to act advisedly if
the matter really becomes an issue

Are Executives Less Efficient
Than Those Under Them?

When the railway employees SpokeS-
men told the railroad labor board that
the railroads could save a thousand
million dollars by far more efficient
management, the statement was
scoffed at. 1t was sarcastically asked
if wage earners who had never been
able to rise far themselves We're
smarter than those who had won their
way towards the top. The general dis
position was to take it for granted
that railway executives knew their
business and couldn't be taught very
much by those under them.
Yet here comes a responsible COM
mittee appointed by Herbert Hoover
when head of the American Engineer
ing council and makes the deliberate
statement that "the responsibility for
more than so per cent of the waste in
Industrial processes can be laid at the
door of the management and less than
rs per cent at the door of labor!"
The committees report would fill
large volume, so thoroughly was the
whole subject investigated. Some Of
the findings are startling. For example,
rs per cent of the deaths and serious
dCCluSillS III SOuAu OS ~ SNOAt~-
ed through the general use of safety
methods already available; apart from
everything else, this would save three
fourths of the annual economic loss,
from these causes, of $4,000, 100000. In
dustrial accidents totalled 100000 in
1919. The efficiency of certain indus
tries is rated thus: Building industry,
so per cent efficient; shoe industry, 65
per cent; average metal plant, from
20 to rs per cent. The margin of I'M
employment, the committee found,
amounted to more than a million men.
Billions of dollars are tied up in idle
equipment. High labor turnover is one
of the commonest formes of serious
waste. Both employer and employees
restrict output. Forbes Magazine

BURNING AMERICA

At the annual meeting of the Ma
tional Board of Fire Underwriters
there was presented an authoritative
estimate of Americas fire losses dur
ing 1920 which should cause the mos
needless to pause. The destruction o.
over $5000000 900 worth of property III
a single year, or approximately ST.
$40, 900 a day, is tax that cannot be
continued without serious economic re-
suits. In addition to this there was
loss of life which. while not accurately
known must have been heavy.
The staggering total of waste has
not yet been classified, so it is i'm
possible at present to give the losses
by division into the separate hazards.
There is no doubt, however that in
territorial and unintentional incendiar-
ism were large factors in causing ar
aggregate of damage never before ap-
preached except in 1906 when the Sar
Francisco catastrophe occurred. This
was so, despite the fact that there was
no conhagration of any magnitude
during the entire year.
Besides the incendiarism of those in
diYiduals with asbestos consciences
who burned for profit" and the depre-
{ dations of pyromaniacs there was the
unconscious incendiarism of the bust
ness man who. in the face of trade de-
preston and disappearing profits, re-
Taxed his former vigilance in regard
to fire. He neglected safeguards, al
lowed rubbish to accumulate post
poned repairs of heating and lighting
apparatus. forgot to have inspections
made. and became generally careless.
His employees naturally reflected his
mental attitude, and likewise grew
careless. The wage Garner TOUT of
work became more negligent at home
and also helped to swell the total fire
damage that day by day added to our
national bonfire.
Carelessness and ignorance normal
" figure as the chief causes of our
fires, but there is also the mistaken
belief of many that when property is
insured against fire the insurance com
panies are the only ones to worry if
1t burns. AS a matter of fact insur-
ance costs are so closely interviewer
with our social and economic fabric
that we are all affected by the fire
waste.
The careless or ignorant citizen re-
sponsible for fire, taxes himself as
we'll as his fellows. When this truth
becomes recognized by a majority Of
the American public, then will our fire
waste begin to decrease

ORGANIZATION

Organization begins with the lowest
formation of nature. The infinitismal
mite which builds the coral reef no
doubt has its leaders, its managers and
its directors. The honey bee takes its
orders from its Queen. and builds its
hive for the garnered harvest. The
ant has it's commanders. its warriors
and its laborers. and without tools and
without books and without traditions
they are organized upon some grand
scheme of nature which tells them to
get together and produce.
IL these ignoble things can raise
their structures and put to shame some
OF our unorganized efforts, what can
we of nobler clay accomplish If we
get together, stick together and work
| together for a common purpose.
There are rules and laws of bust
ness so old, 80 immutahle that they
will always stand unchallenged, and
OF these fairness fairness with our
selves, fairness to others. is the note
which issues loudest from the roar
of the onrushing tide of human events
In organization. then, let us dis
tribute the load of labor with an eye
to fairness and forget the title of man
ager and forget the prefix that often
times destroys and brutalizes the char
acter of an individual whose rare bust
ness ability has pushed him forward.
Organization is a human instinct,
born in the savage breast for mutual
protection, and handed down to all
OF US as birthright
What we would like to see developed
in all business is forgetfulness of
self and thoughtfulness of others. We
ask no man to carry anothers burden,
but if there comes a time that a
helping hand can be offered. we want
to see that hand extended not neces-
sarily in a personal way. but with the
feeling that you have done something
for the best intereshHef your company.

Is not in the least alarming, so long
as parents recognize the fact and are
on their guard. The danger lies in
the proneness of fathers and mothers
to think that their offspring are little

In the face of such blindness children
get away with petty lies and thefts
until the habits are firmly rooted and
become serious.
This may be a kind of plain speak
ing distasteful to many parents, but it
is full of common sense just the same.
