Without modern accounting tools,
il would be impossible for single
minds TO comprehend worldwide
economic operations.
With proper data the policy
makers-whether generals, admir-
ais, the commander in chief or
civilian advisors--can concentrate
on making decisions based on the
facts. With accurate and timely
operating figures. many OF the
differences of opinion are auto
|matically resolved. In such cir
cumstances, there is little need OF
a coordinator TO compro S e
differences.
At each focal point Of govern
ment activity. there should be
local controller. who will prepare
operating figures on a consistent
basis, which can be assembled for
the commander in chief into an
overall picture.

Eureka Vacuum
S421,842
For Fiscal Year
Net Of $2.08 a Share
Compares With Loss;
Double Peace Volume

In the annual statement now
being prepared for stockholders,
President H. w. Burritt of the
Eureka Vacuum Cleaner Company
reports that the company will
show a net profit for the fiscal
year ended July 81. 1912, of SAIL
S42 after all charges, as compared
with a loss of $475, 112 for the
previous year. This is equal to
SOS a share on the companys
201 ,919 shares outstanding.
The gain is attributed consider
ably to the success of the COM
pany's restyled and improved
peacetime products, despite the
fact that they were in the market
only a few months before Eureka
turned entirely to war work, it
was stated.

In the last war, introduction OF
the principles of modern, cost ac-
counting and of control figures
brought order out of chaos. Some
of the men who did such signifi-
cant jobs are still in their prime.
The creative controllers select sig
lnificant operating facts, and as
semble them in a manner that
gives top supervisors a clear pic
ture of what they are doing.

Products Modernized

Last year, Burritt points out,
Eureka made radical changes in
their products, employing new de-
velopments in plastics and other
materials with the effect that
these advances were reflected
quickly in 1912 consumer sales
Since the end of March, how
ever, the company has been en-
gagged entirely in war work or ir
preparation for war production
This war work is of such scope
Burritt said, that the company's
production volume for 1913 fiscal
year is expected to be twice as
great as the best peacetime volume

fact that much or the CONFUSION
surrounding the economic aspects
of the war effort comes from the
lack of satisfactory operating fg-
ures.
Public officials were somewhat
unfamiliar with the useful tools
which mo- ern industry had
developed. having to some extent
been taken in by business batting
propaganda. Some, who should
have known better, accordingly
looked upon business as more or
less of a racket, failing to under
stand that modern industry was
really something Of an applied
science.
Control Figures
Those who are familiar with the
operation of well-managed indus
tries are aware of the rigorous in
tellectual discipline which modern
large scale industry consists OF.
On the management side, the es-
sence of seeing and acting inheres
in control" or operating figures.
which through the short cuts oil
modern consolidated accounting
enables chief executives to know
where they arc and where they
are going.
Control figures are essentially
different from generalized aca-
demic statistics. They are up to
date summaries of an infinite
variety OF significant details.
Supplying an army with NUM-
tons and other equipment is not
unlike the peace time problems OF
industry. In the first place, there
must be a realistic equivalent oil

lingo. this has to do with so-calleo

Then like a private enterprise
each geographical center involved
in procurement should have an &C
