GOOD WILL
Have you stopped to consider the
large number of public service cor
porations that are trying today not
only to cultivate the good will of
their employes but also the good
will of the public? We can find ex
ample after example of railroads,
public utilities and other corporations
spending much time and money to es
tablish good will. Many corporations
publish detailed accounts of disburse
ments, showing how the money is
spent and the various sources of
revenue. Thifj good will is often in
corporated in their statement of
assets.
It is rather the exception now for
a large corporation to fail to employ
methods to better both the physical
and mental side of its employes.
With some corporations stock can be
purchased more cheaply by the em
ployes than by the public. In other
firms various inducements are offer
ed to foster thrift and the desire to
own homes. Muny forms of whole
some amusement are provided, in
cluding gymnasiums and athletic
grounds. The eight ho ir day is now
so generally accepted that we think
nothing of it, yet h few years ago
the 10-hour day was almost universal
All of these are simply manifesta
tions of a desire to create good will
—Frank L. Muines in Christian Busi
ness for December.
You wouldn’t suspect it while listen
ing to some of them, but it’s true.
This legislature faces several diffi
cult tasks. Probably it will make
many mistakes in spite of its collec
tive caution. It will make fewer mis
takes if those who will be affected by
its action will take the trouble to
keep in touch with its activities and
will give its members the benefit of
information and constructive sug
gestions.
Do not hold aloof during the ses
sion, and then kick when it’s over.—
Oregon Voter.
