THE AGE OF ORGANIZATION

business grew rapidly. Strangely
enough our oldest occupation has
been the last to organize itself as
a business. Cooperative effort in
farming is even now in its youthful
stage, but it has made Roadway and
agriculture is rapidly organizing in
a manner that means business. That
farming Is on the way to an or
ganized business is indicated by the
large number Of farmer organiza-
lions. BY a gradual evolutionary
process these numerous organiza-
lions will decrease in numbers and
increase in strength by merging.
Those engaged in labor didn't feel
the dignity of it until they began to
organize. The individual worker
wasn't much better than slave so
long as he dealt with organized en-
ployers. His strength commanded
respect only when there was added
to 1t the strength of his fellow work
ers. What he did was to make the
selling Of labor business; and to-
day the American Federation of
Labor is one Of the biggest big bust
ness concerns in organized industry.
Not many years ago there was no
such thing as organized credit in
most American cities. Bankers were
in competitive business, and didn't
ever have clearing house associa-
tons. Today banking is an organ
lied business.

. BY GAYLORD NELSON
Closing

I~ HE Chamber of Commerce
II in a letter to the board of
IL works Thursday-urged clos
ing Oriental St. as part of the track
elevation program from Davidson St
to State Ave.
The plea, as might be expected
from an organization with tender
eye for industries established or in
prospect, reeked with dollars and
cents.
An automobile assembly plant is
located at the juncture Of Oriental
st. and the tracks. Opening the
thoroughfare would iniure this plant,
which has an annual pay roll of 81
100000 and pays. $4,000 in yearly
taxes to the city. The company
might shut down the branch rather
than adjust 1t to the changed con-
ditions.
Residents in the southeast section
OF the city have been active vocally
and by petition to open the street.
The railroads involved and certain
industries in the vicinity as stoutly
oppose it. The board of works finds
both horns Of the dilemma equally
sharp.
All agree that an underpass at
that point will cost a considerable
sum.
The controversy is living ex-
ample OF the need, in growing com
munities always to plan in the
present with an eye to the future.
Otherwise public improvements are
excessively costly and every project
becomes storm center.

lights or not. Collisions were rare,
for horses are endowed with sense
of sight. Now automobiles swarm at
night, and, while they have eyes, they
don't see. Consequently making high
ways safe for night travel has be
come a serious problem.
Vehicular lights do not altogether
solve it. Binding headlights are al
most as dangerous to other traffic
as no lighss at all.
Recently another method of pro-
tecting night driving has been adj
vocated. That is to illuminate roads
from permanent fixtures like ordi.
nary street lighting. 1t sounds logic
al.
This system is being installed on a
stretch of highway out of Richmond
Ind. That mayNb be the beginning Of
the end of powerful headlights Soon
they may become as obsolete as kero.
