Corporations and Business In the present day distrust of public service corporations by the people on one hand and po litical manipulation of business interests on the other we have a state of affairs that is leading to a far from satisfactory condi tion. Just now this is being em phasized by stagnation in the manufacturing world by uncer tainty as to the adjustment of the tariff and in the railroad sphere of business activity by apprehension as to what policy the newly organized bodies of national legislators may adopt As the breach of distrust grows wider it is causing some of the big men in the industrial world to do some thinking and to rive expression to their thoughts, among them James J. Hill. Mr. Hill sees in publicity of corporation matters and intel ligent public control of the cor porations themselves, a long step towards the solution of the pres ent era of business stagnation and lack of public confidence. "And the United States needs a saviour", says Mr. Hill. "The people have demanded not only the best but an improvement on the best, and they will now have to pay accordingly. If they don't pay in .money, they must pay in prosperity. The business of the country increases about 15 percent every year: the facilities for handling this new business increases only 1-6 of that The difference in the ratio is too ereat and a balance must be struck, sometime, else there will be a complete breakdown of ser vice or prosperity. "Whv don't the facilities for handling business increase more rapidly? Because the men be hind those facilities are afraid to spend their money for exten sions or improvements." "The people," says Mr. Hill, "are entitled to know what the service corporations are doing and the conditions under which thev transact business." "I have believed in, and have ad vocated, publicity of corporation reports for many years. When the public becomes conversant with corporation affairs and is convinced that it is seeing from the inside, much of the feeling against the great business con cerns will pass away. That will be one of the effects of pub licity." In the matter of public control of quasi-public concerns, Mr. Hill is a firm advocate, but he wants that control to be intelli gent; he wants only trained men in the places of control. ' 'A corporation is a piece of paper bearing the stamp and seal of the state," he says. "Its life is created by the- people and naturally the people should have some word in making the rules under which it transacts busi ness. That proposition is one I have preached for years and now I am glad to see it making head way among common carrier cor Iorations. Last week President Mudge of the Rock Island rail mad declared for public control of railroads; George M. Rey nolds, president Continental and Commercial National Bank of Chicago did the same thing the week before; T. N. Vail, presi dent American Telephone and Telegraph recently made an of ficial report to his board of di rectors in which he took a firm stand for both publicity and pub lic control. "But that control must be in telligently administered. Pub lic control simply because it is a control by the public, is not all. It must be intelligent as I have always contended. Intelligent people will ask and expect noth ing more. Vail, Reynolds and the others are right in advocat ing publicity and public control. Both are things which eventually will go far towards making a good feeling between the cor porations and the people, and will assist in settling much of the antagonism which now seems to prevail." The law recently enacted by the Oregon legislature placing public service corporations under the jurisdiction of the Railroad Commission is a step along this line, and it is only by some such method that a disastrous clash will sooner or later be avoided.

The Worldy Hobo-"Dusty Gus" or "Bob" With choicest fruit will oftentimes play hob; Like frost upon the very early fruit He don't stay Ions but eemefi'me does the job! A Team of Horses underneath the Bough. Persuasive Words a Hillside steep and Plow; With four more days of this same work This orchard is no paradise just now I The mule no question makes of Ayes or Noes. But plants his Heels upon your Clothes, And he that kicked you in the Overalls- He knows just how to kick Hm awi-HI knows! Ah. Agent you and 1 must now conspire To boost this sorry price, of fruit, entire. And if you do not boost to suit my taste Why I'll be otf and aeek another Buyer. Some for the prices of this year and Some . Sigh for the Higher Prices yet to come; Ah take the price and let the Future go Your crop next year may be extremely bum. So when the Agent of that Apple Firm Shall offer you his price don't be a Worm But make him boost his price 'way high Then pin him to his word-and watch him squirm! Dean Dayton.
