THE VERTICAL TRUST

August Thyssen, the second OF the great German
captains of industry to grow powerful during the war
and pass away since, stood with SHINES for the yer
teal trust instead OF the pure trust, developed IN
America.
Nearly all Of our magnates have sought to dOnli-
nate single industry, such petroleum. COAL Steel
railroads. shipping meat. The Germans named
interested rather IN beginning With single in
dustTy and joining witt it all the related industries
necessary for IS operation, thus lnsurlng stability and
barring outsiders from any share OF the profit from
material to final marketing.
Today the vertical trust IS making headway in
the United States. Henry Ford IS It's character
isc representative. his original business merely
making automobiles. In building up tnat industry, he
gave support to many industries furnishing him ne
cessary materials Now boasts that the
Ford Motor Company and controls every step Of
the whole long process of production, from ma
terlals TO finished product including the timber in the
forest, the IN the ground, saWniIs and furnaces
and rolling mills and glass factories and the rest, with
even railroads and ships to carry the final product
its market.
This is industrial power at its highest. 1t is the
ideal Of many of our American industries today IN
dustrial progress in the immediate future will be
largely concerned with working out such vertical
programs
If the power is used fairly and consumers are
given the benefit Of the resulting economy there can
be no valid objection

Due to its speed, ease of control,
power, freedom of navigation, and
ouietness, the automobile is, in it
self. inherently different from any
other form of vehicle using the high
ways.
This is especially true with refer
ence to the application of its power.
Animal-drawn vehicles are pulled
from the front; automobiles are
pushed from the back. Its operation
differs from railroads and street
cars in that it does not operate on
tracks. and meeting an automobile
upon the highway one is confronted
at once with a number of new and
unusual conditions to which the
general public has only partially
adapted itself.
Horses and hOrse-drawn vehicles
have been operated so long that
nearly everyone knows, and Is char
ged with knowledge by the law, as
TO how fast horses ordinarily travel,
and can buide his own action by such
knowledge. Horses move compare
lively slowly, and one has much
more time in which to make up his
mind what steps to take in order to
avoid them.
At the present time, and especially
in crowded traffic, it has reached a
noint where this slow movement in
comparison with automobile traffic
has become a distinct menace.
Ordinances have been introduced
in some municipalities to forbid the
use of certain thoroughfares to
horse-drawn vehicles. This is bound
TO become universal and it will be OF

considerable assistance in the regu-
lation of heavy traffic.
Ones meeting a trolley car or a
railroad train can, at least, rely up
on its staying upon the tracks upon
which it runs, even if its speed can
not be accurately apprOXimated, put
none of these factors can be relied
upon when meeting an automobile.
The yare capable of terrific speed
glide off and on to trolley tracks,
run behind and around trOlleys and
can change their direction with in
credible rapidity. But the most dlf1l-
cult feature of the situation lies IN
the fact that the driver of one ma
chine must depend upon the cars ana
intelligence of the driver of the
other. and it is impossible to know
whether or not one is meeting ma
chine controlled by a careful and
prudent man, or by a reckless ana
irresponsible cowboy"
1t will be a long time before IL
cense restrictions and general edu-
cation render it safe to rely impllc-
ity upon the other fellow and as, un-
ii then, the driver of every autOmo-
bile we meet will be an entirely un-
known quantity, it is the part OF
safety and good judgment to regard
every automobile as being driven in
a reckless and careless manner. 1t
will take only a few seconds of our
time to adopt this attitude, and if we
Americans can only bring ourselves
to realize that true happiness does
not lie in crowding twenty-five sec
onds' worth of mile age covered into
every minute, the safety of the high
ways will be materially increased.
