THEN AND NOW.

It has often been wondered why
business does not go ahead, build fac
tories and employ people.
The subject has been discussed and
the conclusion has been arrived at that
with the imhibitions placed on the
infant industry to be launched, it is
an impossibility to meet the demands
of capital, government and labor for the
young industry.
H I. Phillips, the writer, made a
simple statement recently in the New
York Sun which explains the stu
alton then and now using Henry Ford
as an example. He says:
Henry Ford started the Ford Motor
Co. &c years ago with $780, News
item)
THEN
A man demonstrates a horSeless car
rage and asks financial backing. He
says his name is Henry Ford.
Nobody knows him.
He says he needs about $4,000.
He gets it.
The business starts.
TODAY
A man demonstrates a horseless car
riage and asks financial backing. He
says his name is Ford.
Nobody even asks his first name after
he mentions $4,000.
He goes to some wealthy men but
they tell him this is no time to take
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1939-08-31

chances.
He goes to a banker. The banker
says a horseless carriage might go all
right, but the bank is putting its money
into Government bonds
He goes to a close friend, who ex-
presses the belief a horseless carriage
might have future, but that on &C
count of the economic setup, the I'M
balanced budget, the initiation scare,
etc., it is no time to launch a new
project.
He goes to another close friend, who
is quite delighted with the horseless
buggy, but who isn't putting any money
into anything now on account of the
European situation"
He goes to politician. The politician
says horseless carriage looks okay on
paper and might be profitable through
replacing the horse and buggy; but to
replace the horse and buggy would be
! to throw blackSmiths, hack drivers, feed
store workers, harnesmakers, etc., out
of work.
He finally locates couple of capital
lists who have imagination enough to
see future for the automobile, but he
drives them out by predicting that
'tthey will make millions" The thought
of what they will have to pay in taxes
scares them so much they order Mr..
Ford to forget all about it.
He decided to try Wall Street.
| The SEC demands a demonstration.
The car works perfectly, but the COM
mission cautions Mr. Ford against I'M
due optimism overstatement or the use
of superIatives. 1t holds up every
thing while it makes six month in
quiry to see if his right name is Henry
Ford.
A broker agrees to float stock.
The floatation is rendered a little
difficult by SEC rules that lines in the
advertisements such as may ultimately
become as popular as the horse and

it's place as a pleasure vehicle" be de-
lected in the interests of honesty.

Labor delegates warn him that for
every man he hires to make an auto
he must hire at least one livery stable
worker.
There are a series of strikes. They
are referred to the NLRB. The NLRB
investigates for year and a half and
files report charging that horseless
carriage industry is unfair to whip
makers.
MIR. Ford appeals to Washington and
explains, rather pathetically, "All I am
trying to do is to make some horseless
carriages"
There are frenzied speeches in the
Senate and House in denunciation Of
the new invention by orators who speak
as "a friend of the noble animal, the
horse"

competing in the match at the Ridge
view course.
Governor Vevle opened his talk, after
being introduced to the members and
visitors by President E. w. Hanson,
by complimenting the Ely club on its
outpost membership and stated that
Ely was the first in 117th district, repre-
sented by him as governor, to inaugur-
ate and make a success of the outpost
membership movement. The governor
stated that Saltwater was now Or
ganizing an outpost adjunct to their
club and was using Ely's success as an
example to be followed. He also COM
plimented the club highly on its at
tendance record.
Calling attention to the question
asked by Bernard Shaw where is
Rotary Going" and the answer by a
wag Rotary is going out to lunch" the
governor stated that if Rotary did
nothing but "go out to lunch" he would
still be a Rotarian. He stated that
Rotary was felt outside the dining
room in every place where club existed
in the life of the community.
He then discussed the lane of Com
munity Service and stated that to be
a good citizen is to be a good Rotarian
and vice versa, and then launched into
a discussion of the service to youth as
a club objective. with 100000 youths
unemployed in the country" said the
governor, "this furnishes a problem
challenging the efforts of every in
dividual member and club in the
country. Rotary has an opportunity to
give young people spiritual and moral
uplift by analyZing the community as
to what can be done by the club in this
line. He felt that the club should CO.
operate with the schools and Rotarians
should serve as an example to the
younger generation. 1.-THE mere dona-
ton of money to the Boy Scouts and
other cmmendable youth movements is
not enough" he said
"Totalitarian governments have
nothing in common with us because
Rotary believes in freedom of speech,
press and religion. Rotary has been
banned from dictator controlled
countries on this account However, it
is not breaking down in allegiance to
America in spreading its gospel of
Fellowship among foreign nations" he
concluded.

Despite Nova's unexpectedly poor
showing at Philadelphia two weeks
ago, when he was stopped in the
14th round by Tony Galento, it
seems that Promoter Mike Jacobs

confidence in Nova.
AFTER recovering from the bloody
Galento beating, Nova left Thurs

will rest there for a month, and
then go to camp in the Sierras
to begin the most strenuous prep
arations ever undertaken by any
contender. Carlen will remain in
the east until after the World Series.
From an unimpeachable source it
was learned that Carlen accepted
the Louis bout only after a stormy
session with Nova in q New York
hotel. Carlen gave Collegiate Lou
the bawling-out Of his life and
threatened to sell his contract un-
less Nova agreed to train and fight
strictly according to instructions.

Grating "like Ounce" in both bouts.
He accused Nova Of developing an
extreme case Of the "big head; he
said Lou was lucky Baer didn't knock
him out, and that the Galento beat
ing was the best thing that ever

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Sept. 30. (UP)-When
the Yankees put bat in their
hands they have even greater
superiority over the Reds than when
they are on the defense.
The Yanks are not quite the MUIR
derotls hitters of other years, but
they still are not exactly soft
touches at the plate either. In
dividually, the Reds can claim hit
ting superiority at only two posi-
lions and collectively they are
swamred by the wide distribution of
power( lurking in the Yankee bat
ting order.
To emphasize the Yanks superior
ity on the attack over the Reds it
is only necessary to look at the sea-
sons figures. The Yanks made only
sc hits more than the Reds, yet
they scored 1913 more runs. In extra
base power the Reds can match the
Yanks for doubles and triples but
when it comes to homers the Ma
ton league champions look puny.
The Yanks have blasted out 1854
homers to the Reds SO and therein
lies one of the vital reasons why the
American league kings are 3-1 bet
ting fayorite. Every man in the
Yankee batting order is a potential
home run threat while the Reds
can offer, only Mccormick, Berger
and Lombard as long-distance hit
tiers. To further handicap the Reds
all three of their longest drivers are
right-handed .hitters wholwill be at
a disadvantage in Yankee stadium.
DiMaggio, Gordon, Selkirk, and
Dickey are the power hitters in the
Yankee array. DiMaggio has 30
homers, Gordon 20, Selkirk 81 and
Dickey %. Leading home run hitter
of the Reds is Mccormick with Is.
In other extra base blows the Reds
have slight advantage, having hit
1853 doubles to New Yor ks $50 and
SO triples to the Yanks' IS. In driv-
ing in runs the Yanks have the adj
vantage, 1913 to TOP.
Position by position the only two
Cincinnati players who can be pick
ed as more dangerous hitters are
Frank Mccormick at first over Babe
Dahlgren and Billy Myers at short
over Frank Crossetti.
Another important angle to re-
member is that the Yanks are
proven hitters in world series COM
petition. DiMaggio has world series
batting average of .301 for three
series. Dickey hit .438 in 1882 and
400 last year and has a ,267 mark
for four fall classics. Rolfe has
batted 500 in three series. Joe Cor
don as q freshman hit 400 in his
first world series last fall. OF the
Reds cast only the veterans AL
Simmons and Wally Berger have
had world series experience. Berger
failed three times as a pinch hitter
for the Giants against the Yanks
in 1887 and Simmons isn't likely to
play unless Berger collapses.
