Ourselves and Industry
The Corporation as Stage in Progress
BY e. E. Lincoln

In previous talk something was
said about Sharing the Risk with
Others" and it was pointed out that
only by Cooperation" in Investment
that is, by wide distribution of owner
ship-as well as by cooperation in
effort, can we reap the advantages of
modern civilization.
Most large business undertakings
are now organized as Corporations"
operating under legal authorization
known as Charter" or certificate
of Incorporation" This authorization
is granted BY the state upon compli-
ance with certain conditions, and con-
fers upon the corporation the right to
exist and to do certain things as a
legal "person" responsible for all its
acts. The persons who associate
themselves together this way are the
stockholders, or owners.
Some of the distinguishing features
of the corporation as a form of bust
ness organization, which may also be
regarded as advantageous, are the fol-
lowing:
l. The corporation is permanent,
unless dissolved by its owners or vol
unfairly limited in duration by its
charter. Its activity, therefore, does
not depend upon the life or ownership
of any particular individual.
2. Because of the comparative ease
with which ownership in the average
corporation can be acquired or trans
ferred, large~scale operations are
facilitated and fexibility in financing
is assured.
8. In many cases it is probable that
business organized as corporation
has a superior opportunity to secure
efficiency in management.
The corporation is controlled by its
owners, the stockholders, whether
many or few. If there are only few
of them they may elect themselves
directors once a year and personally
run the business. When there are
many stockholders, however, those
holding the majority interest usually
select prominent business MEN who
have had experience to act as directors
for them.
Although the directors decide gen.
eral policies at their regular meetings,
they are legally acting as agents of
the stockholders and may be dismissed
If the majority stockholders do not
approve their policies.
The larger a company grows, the
more impossible it is for the directors
to familiarize themselves with all the
details of the company's operations.
Hence, they appoint president and
frequently other senior officers, who
are not necessarily members OF the
board Of directors These in turn
appoint and employ all other assist
ants and workers.
In past years one Of the important
and not infrequent disadvantages of
large corporations has been the nat
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1926-11-05

ural tendency toward absentee owner
ship"-that is, the more important
stockholders have frequently been
largely ASSOCIATED from the actual
management and operation of the bust
ness, and have exercised their control
in an indirect and more or less imper-
sonal manner. If.
The dangers in such a situation
have been pointed out by forward
looking business men and economists
during the past $50 years. In word
these disadvantages in the earlier days
we're perhaps due to an over-emphasis
of routine methods and organization
practices, the purpose of which was
not made sufficiently clear to the aver
age employee AS result, urneces-
sary Misunderstanding sometimes
arose, and individual initiative was not
always properly directed.
However, changes in the character
of ownership of corporations have
been taking place very rapidly but
quietly during the past decade. The
number of stockholders of all cor
porations has vastly increased, and the
average number of shares per stock
holder has decreased.
1t is even more important to note
that this extension of ownership, par
ticularly in our great public utility
enterprises, is due primarily to the
fact that customers are investing their
money in the corporations which serve
them, and employees are buying stock
in the corporations for which they
work.
This means that those who produce
the service and those who consume II
have very direct and mutual interest
in seeing that money and effort are
expended in such manner as to pro-
duce the best results. II means, fur
tlier, that those who are employed by
corporations, from office boy to presi-
dent, are becoming in very real
sense partners in business together,
since each Gums portion Of the bust
ness.
This ownership interest is not
merely privilege, but also grave
responsibility. Every stakeholder should
understand that as an owner he has
duties to perform as we'll as dividends
to collect. The more intelligent the
performance of his duties, the higher
in the long run will be the dividends
which he receives.
An embloyee-stoekholdey can render
his best service to his company oSd
thereby to himself by understanding
horoaghly his ozOn Woyk in relation
to the scoyk of his associates, by get
ting clear picture of tDhdt the poll
eies of his company are, and also
s0hnt they should be, and giving that
constant thought to his work which
rOiii enable him to deDelot into batter
job. Short of this NO employer
stakeholder should be satisfied.

The Great Anaconda Company
Takes A Serious Interest In
Butte's Rubbish Dumps.

TOR some time now, the city of
Butte, Montana, has had far
~. less concern than the average
city in the ancient problem, how to
dispose of the empty tin cans, worn
out automobile parts, and all the other
Aotsam which accumulates at its back
doors in constantly augrneting heaps.
A large share of this work is auto
matically taken off the hands of the
municipal authorities. That huge in
dustry, the Anaconda Copper Com
pany, almost as we'll known as the
State itself, has an Unsuitable appetite
for such refuse. From the Jealous
manner with which the great COM
pany hunts down all the old trash
metals it seems to those living in
Butte as if-the very existence of the
industry depended upon the success of
its rubbish collections. Mutilated tin

After all, he had started it and 1t
was up to him to finish 1t.
Pete started toward the rambling
building with the intention of looking
in through entertained windows. He
would go little more slowly this
time and perhaps he could get Della
out by stealth He edged among the
out-buildings, lodged someone who
was doing chores, and got up to the
house safely. 1t was big night at
the Broken Finger. by the sounds.
Through smashed pane whoops and
the noise of stamping feet roared out.
Grimble loked in cautiously through
kitchen window. He saw Della.
She had an apron on now, and as she
stood at the stove over cooking
supper tears gathered and ran down
/ her cheeks. That much he saw in
the lamplight, and then all that he
! saw vanished in a crackle of sparks.
He fell like a stumbling child, but
| not before he realized that he had
been struck from behind.
When Hickory Pete GrlmD1e came
to himself again he was lying upon
his back. There were voices. He
opened his eyes crack and saw vel
low lantern light striking against the
time-darkened boards of shed.
There was an argument going on,
and the voice of JACKIE Prime was
| raised at the moment.
I'VE got to do it," Prime was say
ing. "He's one of them fellers that
never let's up. If he can't get us one
way. he will another, and If the
sheriff ever come out here to look
for; the girl on account of Grimble
squealing, then they wouldn't be no
more Broken Finger. And we can't
let Ithe girl go home She'd talk too
! much"
"sure! Keel heem!'' spat Fesette.
"T'row heem in where they cut ice
today. Float around all winter"
It'll mean worse trouble If you do
throw him in" growled Carlow.
''Lookut at what I'm going to tell
you. He's one of them fellers you
can't stop. even if YOU, do croak 'em.
The dam stiff,ll come right back
where you throwed it in. or some
thing seen fellers like him before.
Croaking 'em don't do no good at all.
They keep on till they ditch you some
| way"
ooh, hell" snorted Prime "They's
current offshore here. He'll be
twenty miles south by daylight"
"sure!" agreed Fessette. Dead
mans can't make noting"
1"Catch holt of his feet" command
ed JACKIE. "And hurry up. or he'll
come to again. never see man
with a head like his'n."
| Hickory Pete was lifted. and he
closed his eyes tightly in order that
there might be no suspicion that he
had come to If they looked closely at
him. For the, first time since the be-
ginning of his quest he heard the
rustling of the garments of death.
There was but very remote chance
Of breaking away from his captors
between the shed and the lake, and
another fight with the three of them
would have been madness. Yet he re-
solved to die fighting. If there was no
other way. He visioned mentally the
blue white ice of the lake, the frozen
stiffness, of the water where ice had
been taken out, and as he did SO hope
came to him.
