Poor Industrial
Management Shown

New York-How badly industry is
managed is eXemplified by the action
of the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford railroad in laying off $3.50 en-
ployes in order, as the Boston News
Bureau says, "to keep within the bud
get"
Presumably no provision has been
made for the living expenses of the
hapless workers who have been given
a vacation" for the benefit Of the
New Haven's budget. They and their
families must exist as best they may.
What this is likely to lead to in bodily
and mental distress only those direct
ly concerned can know.
The laying off of the New Haven's
workers is the sort of thing that in
tensifies the demand for government
rule of industry. 1t emphasizes the
need for the setting of its own house
in order by industry itself. If indus
try really knew how to govern itself,
lay offs would be infrequent, instead
of common, as at present and if there
was no way of avoiding them, pro-
vision would be made for the workers
forced to remain idle.
Industry must govern itself to give
Justice to its workers and service to
the nation, else government will seek
to regulate its activities Industry
must measure up to modern condi-
tions. AS Secretary of Commerce
Hoover told the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States.
"The test of our whole economic
and social system is its capacity to
cue it's own abuses"

MORE WITH LESS EFFORT

Frederick C. Howe, former lmmi-
grafton Commissioner, once under
took to explain the movement of peo-
pies over the earth under the theory
that mankind has ever tried to get
the most with the least effort.
The theory is sound.
We are all lazy, by nature.
If we will think about this we will
see that it is through our efforts to
get out of work, or at least to get the
most with the least effort, that we
owe most of our progress.
/ think Thomas A. Edison was led
to make his first electrical expert
ments when he was youthful tele-
graph operator He wanted a tele
graph instrument that would be part
ly automatic. He was successful in
developing one.
Benedict Crowell, former Assistant
Secretary of War, recounted the other
day how he devised a system for test
ing steel, reducing the time required
for the test from four hours to twenty
minutes. This was many years ago,
and his object was to make his job
easier, so that he might go home
earlier.
When the peasant in Europe ties
his clothes into pack and boards a
steamship for America his motive is
the same-he hopes to get more of
this worlds goods with less effort.
So long as the United States can
offer more for less effort than any
other nation, there will be desire on
the part of peoples of all countries to
tn c1, Wl,a,o thic cft
uation changes the tide of immigra-
tion will turn elsewhere.
If you will think about it, you will
see that this theory explains why Co.
lumbus sailed west to America, and
why Magellan sailed around the
world little later. Both were seek
ing new sea routes in an effort to
decrease the cost of shipping-to get
more for less.
Getting more for less also means
that you can give more for less.
The discoverer of a new sea route,
the inventor of a new device and the
formulator of a new method receive
personal reward, but this is only a
small proportion of the total benefit;
the major portion acrues eventually
to the public.
The fact up to which this leads, and
which is so feebly recognized by most
of US, is that by each of US trying to
produce more of the worlds goods
with less effort, we are gradually
making it easier for ourselves and
others to live comfortably and hap
PLY.
There has never yet been an inven-
ton from which the public did not
benefit over the individual in the pro-
portion of ten to one.
Anyone who can embrace this phil
osophy must be an optimist, because
he will see that a powerful human in
stinct is operating for the bettelment
of mankind.
We cannot depend on the altruistic
impulse of the human being, but we
can be sure of his self-interest If
one can realize that by best serving
ourselves we best serve others, and
that by injuring others we injure our
selves, then progress is as sure as the
rise and fall of the tides.

Crew and Passengers Held Up

Eight passengers, Conductor Cary
Warner and Motorman Ned Roe of
late C. N. & z. electric car were held
up and robbed Of about $75 near Hi
bernia, station a short distance east
of Columbus, Wednesday night of
last week, by a lone bandit who
boarded the car at Columbus and paid
cash fare to Hibernia. Just as it
was slowing down for the stop, he
pulled a gun, and after ordering
"hands up" went through the pass
engers and crew, collected the cash,
made his escape and disappeared in
the darkness. The victims offered no
resistance and no action was taken by
the occupants of a number of auto
mobiles who witnessed the hold-up
from the outside.

lamage to their land caused by

city's aaueduct. Hopes have been
expressed on both sides that an ear,

In a statement made by j. A.,
Graves, president of the Los An
geles Clearinghouse Association, he
said, lit appears to me that thern
are two questions vital to settle
ment. First, question of fact ON
what damages, if any have the
farmers of Owens Valley suffered
by reason of any acts of the city
of Los Angeles. Secondly, a matter
Of law. il damages have been in,
Cured, is this city liable, either in
law or in equity"
" Another question which would
have great weight with me is this;
whether any moneys which the city
would agree to pay are to be divided
among the farmers Of the valley, or
whether the lion s share thereof
would go 10 a iunta of Los Angeles
and Bishop capitalists, who do their
farmingj through .ho newspapers,
who are reported to have bought
both land and water rights at low
figure, and for which they want
