ROOSEVELT'S GOOD TRUSTS.
The people are at last learning the
truth aboue Roosevelt's prosecution
What a Man Must Know to
Earn a Big Salary
He
Has to
Start
at
Bottom
By THEODORE N. VAIL. Head of Telephone and Teletfraph
Systems
HE man who earns $10,000
KNOW HIS BUSINESS FROM THE GROUND UP.
HE MUST BE ABSOLUTELY EFFICIENT THAT IS, HE
MUST HAVE ABILITY, JUDGMENT, COURAGE, ENTHUSIASM,
SELF CONFIDENCE, ENERGY, INITIATIVE, FORESIGHT, EXPERIENCE,
A GREAT KNOWLEDGE OF HUMAN NATURE AND PERSONALITY
ENOUGH TO BE A REAL LEADER OF MEN.
He must take infinite pains in small things as well as in large.
He must demand of himself as well as of others nothing tratthe
BEST. He must win and retain the" confidence and the friendship of
his superiors, his associates and his subordinates.
He must always be READY TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY,
to decide quickly, and he must be right more than half the time.
With all that he must have backbone and a real desire not only to
excel, but also to serve.
He must START IN AT THE BOTTOM AND WORK HIS
WAY UP GRADUALLLY. A man has got to have it in him.
There may be a man in a $1,500 job doing remarkably good work,
and we promote him. We put him up, and then we discover that
he is only a $1,800 man, after all that he doesn't grow with grow
ing responsibility. In the same way thre.may be some good men
who have never really had an opportunity; bnt, after all, REAL
MERIT IS RARE AND HARD TO HIDE. Higher salaries are
being paid now than ever before. - .
of the trusts especially certain
"good" trusts. The Harvester trust
seems to be Roosevelt's idea of the
good kind. It was organized in 1902
while Roosevelt was president and
has a capital of one hundred - and
twenty millions, although its assets
at the time of its organization were
only twenty millions including the
value of air the plants absorbed by
the corporation. So it has since been
paying dividends on the one hundred
millions of watered stock. Yet Roose
veltj, while president restrained the
department of justice from prosecut
ing this trust for violation of the
Sherman anti-trust law.' Mr. George
W. Perkins of the executive commit
tee of the Harvester trust convinced
Roosevelt this was a "good" trust.
So, when President) Taft instruct
ed the department of justice to prose
cute the Harvester trust and the pros
ecutions were instituted, Mr. Perkins
became angry. This action also of
fended Mr. Harold McCormick John
D. Rockefeller's son-in-law and one
of the chief owners 'af the Harvester
trust. This explains why Mr. Perkins
and the McCormicks are financing the
third term candidate. They can very
well afford to.
FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
SPENCE DEFINES ROAD BILL
OREGON CITY, Or., Sept . 23. (to
the Editor of Morning Enterprise)
Somebody stuck a pin in Marshall N.
Dana and he obediently wrote his
piece about the Grange and Harmony
Highway measure which was publish
ed in the Sunday Journal of Sept 8.
Mr. Dana repeats the statement
that "The Grange measure placesno
limit on the amount of bonds that a
county may issue." If he will read
Section 20 on page 97 of the "Pam
phlet" he will; find this provision
"No county shall issue bonds under
provisions of this act in excess of
five per cent of its assessed valua
tion" He state that the Grange proposes
a highway engineer at $3000 per year.
If he- will read section five on page
100 and section 6 on page 148 of the
pamphlet he will find that both "bills

MORNINff ENTERPRISE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1912-
This Listens Like a
should. The bill will furnish the funds
provide for a salary of $3,600.
This shows his knowledge (?) of
the subject Let us examine some of
the opinions he offers gratis and see
if they are equally reliable. This is
a sample: "The Grange plan of road
meetings, and ultimate bond- issues
with its hostility to state aid and di
vision of road cost between city and
county, destroys the chance of uni
formity." There, that settles it. Here
is -another "opinion." "Does anyone
imagine that delegates whose quali
fication of election was ambition to
have a road, each by his own door,
would ever agree upon particular
roads to be improved?"
Yes, Mr. Dana, such a thing is pos
sible and it is done every year in this
state. when road districts vote a
special tax for road improvement in
the district they provide -By resolu
tion what particular roads are to be
improved and the portion to be ex
pended on each. Road districts in
fifteen" counties, .voted a special tax
in 1910 to the amount of nearly $475,-
uoo. it is usually decided at these
meetings the nature of the improve
ment to be made and the material
to be used. But Mr. Dana has not
heard of this and he goes on as fol
lows:, "Or that each with his own
pet ideas of cost and kind of material
would ever accept a dissenting View?"
"Isn't that awful, how stubborn and
ignorant the members of the common
herd are? It is a blessing that we
have a few highbrows to led them
aright. It is strange that road dis
tricts, especially in the country, ac
complish anything, when everyone
brings a pet idea.
The Grange opposes the Harmony
state bill because it provides for a
bond issue that will cost the taxpay
ers $2.35 in interest and principle
for every dollar that is expended on
the roads while a direct levy of one
and one-tenth mills will raise the
amount and save the interest. If we
are to have state aid let the funds
be raised by a levy and not by tax
bond.
The Harmony bills provide for an
unnecessary sinking fund for the pay
ment of the bonds. Several bonds
should be paid by a direct levy.
Where will the state get this "state
aid" fund? Won't it come. from the
counties and will it gain anything in
strength and value by -being passed
over to the state? But you say that
cities, - especially Portland, should
help build the county roads, and that
Portland pays one-third of the state!
taxes. The state Slid hill rVInrea rme. I
third of the fund in the hands of the
Highway , Commission and the "Cow
Counties" are left to furnish their
own state aid. Most cities have quite
a bond proposition and tax for street
improvement of their own to look af
ter and if they will permit us to lo
cate our county roads we will not in
terfere with them in'the improvement
of their streets.
It is the intention that this fund of
over $300,000 that is placed in the
hands of the Highway Commission
shall be used in the" construction of
the Pacific Highway, Columbia River
Highway and other pleasure boule
vards that have been outlined by the
people who are supporting the Har
mony bills. It is asserted that the
bill does not mention any1 of these
highways. "It is not necessary that it
and the Highway Commission is ex
pected to do the rest. The last four
lines of section 14 of the Harmony
state bill fixesV that. Read them
"And in the expenditure of this mon
ey and the construction of these roads
the State Board shall have full and
complete control independently of the
County Court or the road authorities
of any county." (See page 151 of the
pamphlet). .Every booster for the
Pacific Highway is a booster for the
Harmony bills. Why not? It Is the
same political machine, with three
heads instead of one, that, has to be
built by the State Wide bills. With
$300,000 annually at its disposal,
"with full and complete control" it
is possiblt-that there may be some
"selfish contests" under the Harmony
bills.
Mr. Dana says that the Grange plan
as outlined is condemned by the best
students of road construction as in
viting confusion and disaster. There
istno precedent for it The Grange is
of the opinion that Oregon is estab
lishing precedents, not following
them. It is a mighty good precedent
to establish that the tax payer shall
know where the proceeds are to be
used when he votes a bond (or a mort
gage), on his home. Some of the best
legal authorities as well as the best
authorities on road construction have
approved the Grange plan of select
ing , roads and expending the road
funds. .The Boulevard Boosters and
the farmer cannot harmonize on
these two points, therefore we must
leave it for the voters to decide which
plan will render the greatest good to
the greatest number. .
The Grange Road Bills are printed
in the State Pamphlet, pages 91 to
10L Their official numbers are 324
and 326. We earnestly solicit a care
ful study of them and a comparison
with the Harmony Bills.

Two Striking Scenes In New
York's Labor Day Procession
Photos by American Press Association.
"W ABOR'S annual parade In New York was chiefly noteworthy for the large
a part taken by strikers. The union whicft was most largely repre-
j sented was tbat of 'the workers in fur, 9,000 of whom were on strike.
The sand and excavation teamsters, also strikers, displayed many ban
ners with such mottos as "No Sunday Work Without Pay" and "Shorter Hours
md a Living Wage." Many women were in the procession, which numbered
about 20,000. Two who attracted much notice were the cornetists of one of the
bands, pictured in the lower of the two illustrations. The upper shows the
head of the furriers' division, with one of the banners expressing sympathy
vith the strikers and pledging assistance.
Preventing Sunburn.
The best way to protect the faiv
from tan and sunburn is through ap
plying cold cream, over which is put
a generous coating of powder. If one
is careful to sripe off the excess cream
and to rub the powder into the skin
smoothly it will not show. Always do
this before going out into the sun and
wind and especially if going to a trip
on the water. Remember that it Is
much easier to prevent tan and sun
burn than It Is to get rid of them
after they are once acquired.
Liquid Powder.
While the effect of the constant use
of liquid powder is. often extremely
upleasant it may be used at intervals
without fear of injury to the sfein. One
of the best pearl white liquids is made
by combining 1 ounces of bismuth
subcarbonate with enough water to
make six ounces In all. Rain water
should be used if possibje. The bottle
must always be shaken well before ap
plying the powder. Be careful not to
apply it too generously or it wJJI give
the effect of facial enamel.
Shaping a Nose.
Massage will help very largely to Im
prove the shape "f the nose. This is
done with the thumb and forefinger
applied to each side of the nose. Begin
at the bridge and work down to the
end of the nose with gentle pressure
and a rotary- motion Let the finger
work carefully Into the seams formed
where the nose Joins the face. In this
way the wings of the nose can be
shaped by the fingers and wonderfully
narrowed if persisted in evry day for
