THE PATH TO DISHONESTY.

In spite of all the claims that one
nears alleging dishonesty in business
and politicallife, it is not probable
that any considerable proportion of
people set out deliberately to de-
fraud others or the public. But the
downward path that leads to dis
nonest attitude is a very easy one.
People are insensibly led into it by
sophistical philosophy.
There are many people who would
sincerely claim to be honest, yet who
nave facile way of making them
selves believe what they want to.
Take the case of a man who Off
ciates as buyer for some business
organization or public department..
rhe salesman for some concern may
approach him with subtle offer OF
graft. He may not offer the buyer
any money, but just throw out hints
that if his goods can be purchased
the buyer will be given certain OPP
portunities to make money in leg
innate way. Many people, if offer
ed such a proposition, would not at
once be repealed by it. They would
.ook at it as a natural reciprocity Of
favors and argue that it did not hurt
anyone. Their minds would begin
20 work to demonstrate reasons why
they should buy that special line OF
goods. The arguments in favor OF
;aking them would look strong, and
those in opposition would look weak.
Before long they would have per
,uaded themselves that it was the
interest of their employer to accept
hat line of stuff. They would make
such deals as this, receive the bene-
its intimated to them,. and yet
would deny that they were not hon.
est men.
There are too many people who
can make themselves believe what
they want to believe. What is need,
ed is sensitiveness of conscience, &
feeling of keen pride in ones honor
that would decline to consider any
proposition that had any suspicion
of unfair influence about it.

corded visiting motorists by legal
authorities and private citizens.
The summer tourist season is now
on. With the closing of school terms
and the release of children from
classroom work in this and other
states, the traffic will rapidly in
crease from this time until Septem-
Der. This is the time for Mime
sotans who cater to outdoors pleas
ure seekers to set their standards Of
service and hospitality for the sea-
son. Advertising attracts visitors
to the state, but there remains the
very essential duty of so dealing
with visitors that they will wish to
come again. For this reason the
standards referred to should be high
as matter of good business policy
if for no more creditable reason
Minneapolis Tribune.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1924-07-25

The following statement is repro
duced here because it so clearly an
swers a question often asked:
That advertising not only does
not increase the cost of the adver-
tised article, but, on the contrary,
makes economics possible that bene-
fit consumers, dealers, manufacture
ers, and producers of raw materials,
is the statement recently made by
DR.. ]. T. Dorrance, president of the
Campbell Soup Company.
In 1898 the output of the Camp
bell Soup Company was 100000
cans for the entire year.
Now-18,0 100000 cans are pro-
duced in one week.
In 1898 the expense for statesmen
was seven and one-half per cent
and for advertising fourteen per
cent of the selling price.
Now-the cost for statesmen is
two and one-half per cent and for
advertising less than three per cent,
making a total selling cost of about
five per cent, Or two and one-half
per cent less than it cost for sales
men alone in 1898.
The advertised price of Camp
BELLS soup is twelve cents a can
anywhere in the United States.
This pays for the cost of the mat
erials, the manufacturing charges,
the transportation cost, and the pro-
fits of jobber and retailers.
The cost of advertising in a single
can of soup is seventeen one-hun-
dredths of one per cent.
AS DIR. Dorrance puts it: "Adver-
Using has assisted us to stabilize
our business, to guarantee the con-
sumner product of uniformly super
Tor quality at low price, to make
sure that whatever profit is made
on our raw materials is made by
the farmer, and to keep our manu-
featuring organization employed at
steady wages throughout the year"
Advertising and advertising alone
has made this possible.-Meredith's
Merchandising Advertising.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1924-07-25
Canadian officials have a sb

Canadian officials have sharp
appreciation of the value of tourist
business as an asset. They estimate
that in 1928 tourists, including the
traffic carried by the railroads, spent
$136, 100000 in the Dominion, about
one-fourth of which is accounted for
in British Columbia. Not fewer
than 100000 automobiles, carry
ing an average of four persons, were
registered last year as having passed
into Canada for recreation purposes.
This motor traffic must have come
from the United States, and this
leads to the equivalent of 85 per
cent of the annual return which
American investors draw from Can
adam securities. In other words,
some Americans provide the great
bulk of the funds with which Canada
pays interest on her loans from
other Americans.
This is p worthwhile angle from
which Minnesotans may think of the
large and developing tourist business
in their state. Minnesota is spend
ing a large amount of money for the
construction of good roads, and if
there is anything touring motorists
like it is good going on the rural
highways. Tourists are bringing
into Minnesota more money than is
required to carry out the states
road program, and largely for the
reason that the roads grow more and
more alluring for travel.
The tourist business in Minnesota
depends for its growth on the de-
gree of satisfaction felt from year
to year by the travellers. Good
roads are only one of the indispens-
ables. Entering in as vital factors
are the tourist camps, food and
quarters in resorts, sanitary condi-
tons and the general treatment ac-

Wisconsin delegates to both ma
tional conventions presented plat
forms for public ownership of such
utilities as railroads, street car lines
and hydro-electric power plants.
This is the biggest contract yet
proposed in the way of public own
ership, and would involve an in
vestment by the people of our coun-
try amounting to billions of dollars.
The Wisconsin platform offering
this enormous public ownership pro-
gram will undoubtedly be supported
by all socialistic organizations.
By a strange inconsistency, this
platform denounces the failure of
the government to deal with the Is
position of the naval oil reserves,
charging great political demoraliza-
ton and fraud among governmental
departments in handling that One
item of publicity owned lands.
Yet it proposes to extend enor-

A large part of the business OF
the world results from trying to pre-
vent people from injuring them
selves through their own careless
acts. =
In Chicago is located a unique in
stitution known as the Underwriters
Laboratories. 1t was established by
insurance companies and is for the
sole purpose of testing at cost
every FORM of manufactured device
as to it's fire resisting or accident
preventing qualities.
Here are assembled engineers
and chemists who, with the aid of
every modern mechanical device,
aid manufacturers n testing any
product before it is offered for sale
to the pubic.
After fire-proof door, a safe, an
automobile bumper has gone through
the various heat and destruction
tests which they give it, it has either
proved itself worthy of the label
issued by the Laboratories to ap-
proved products or it has shown
weaknesses which may be corrected
by the manufacturer before it is
offered for sale.
In other words, the Laboratories
is rapidly eliminating the days when
buyer paid for experiments of the
manufacturer. In doing this it is
safeguarding the public against in
Vulnerable risks formerly involved
in buying and using untested MAJ
erials and manufactured appliances.
