11 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. Hge Monopolies Crush Organiz ers and Crumble From Own Weight, Declares Forbes. By B. C. FORBES. )o we really need to become very ejited over the growth of American cnbinations? Is it, after all, neces- ey to pass laws restricting their se? * • • decent events suggests that nature si natural laws tend to govern til problem better than man-made l»s. Is not growth carried to ex es apt to lead to disintegration? Os not abnormal centralization bng decentralization? * * • *here is a limit to what one man ci do. If he be brai-ny he may be ae to direct intelligently the labor oa thousand men. If he be a genius h may efficiently organize and su* Fvise the work of a hundred thou- sid men. But breathes there a hu- nn being who can effectively in- sre and control the energies of half anillion of his fellows? • • • Charles A. Mellon sought to carry qitralization to excess. And do you nc see that the first task of the New bven directors is to bring about centralization? No individual could Hae to preside successfully over a fge railroad system, an intricate sd extended trolley system and a hge steamship system. Mellen aim- eat doing all that. The new scheme isto split up the organization into s'eral parts and place a practical, tiined man at the head of each. * • * *he greatest industrial combina- tii in the world is the United States Sel Corporation. The ablest brains irthe country joined to build it up. A first responsibility was divided, b gradually one man has assumed citrol, Elbert H. Gary. An argu- rmt for centralization? I rather tnk not, for the strain has been so <jat that Judge Gary has aged twen- t years in the last five. * * * Andrew Carnegie regards him as ee of the greatest geniuses ever born, bt even Gary cannot long continue t direct the labors of 200,000 men, rtwithstanding that decentralization I* been carried far in the way of pcing each plant on its own feet and mning it as a separate unit. • • • I was shocked to note the change in t* Judge last time I saw hin.. His tysique and his spirit have both un- ergone a terrible ordeal. I question viether any man will be found able tfill his shoes. The tremendous size o the corporation has not made it nre profitable than small, well-man- aed steel companies. Some of its enpetitors, less unwieldly, are do- if better. ¥ * • .et us turn to the railroad world. Te greatest railroad system ever de- ved is the Pennsylvania. Cast your nnd back over the roll of its presi des and you will realize that the oice has kilied them. One by one tly have gone under. The human fime and the human mind could not bar up against the super-human tik, despite the fact that no more frfect transportation machine was ear evolved. • * • Harriman centralized to excess— d you remember how he declared to oicial investigators that he would by up every railroad in the country iithe Government would let him? Veil, the load crushed him into a ^mature grave and his successors at turning to decentralization as the dy way out. No man has been dis- cvered big enough to fill the Harri- ran mantle, to use his own phrase. * * * James J. Hill may be quoted as an eception to the rule here enunciated. Vt he has not run riot in arrogating pwer to himself. His chief task was ubuilding the Great Northern. The Nrthern Pacific, the Burlington and JUST LIKE A WOMAN Jail for Life Faces Victim of Alimony MACON, July 31.—J. C. Brooks, a Central of Georgia Railroad conduc tor, expects to spend the remainder of his life in jail, owing to his inabil ity to give the $750 alimony bond re quired of him by the Superior Court. When Brooks failed to make his ali mony payments promptly, he was sent to jail for contempt of court. When that sentence expired, he was assessed a bond. Being unable tQ give that, he must stay in jail. He states he and ,his relatives have ex hausted every effort to procure a bondsman. Brooks having previously announced a determination to iegve the jurisdic tion of the court if he ever got out of jail, even the professional bonds men are afraid to take a chance, on him. He is ordered to pay Mrs. Brooks $40 a month for life. COLUMBUS NEEDS THE MONEY COLUMBUS.—City taxes for 1913 will be due August 1, and as the city finances are low. City Treasurer Mat thews has called dn the taxpayers to be prompt. other enterprises have been more or less side lines, the active management of which he placed in other and able hands. * * * Colossal machines constructed by supermen cannot be held together aft er their builders pass away, for su perman cannot transmit their genius to t'.eir heirs or successors. When a Napoleon or a Cromwell goes, the power they centralized is decentral ized. * * • Our captains of finance and in dustry to-day are not less ambitious than those who have gone before, but the very ablest of them are coming to realize that human nature has its limitations, that the mind and the body can stand only a limited amount of pressure, and that the penalty must be paid for every excess. * * * Then, too—this statement will be challenged by those not familiar with part of their glamor. Power is a the facts—swollen fortunes are losing magnet as strong as of yore. But it has been learned that power can come only through careful recogni tion of the public’s rights and de sires. and that to ride roughshod over the people's will is to court disaster. Selfish centralization of excessive power is frowned upon, and the lead ers of to-day know it. They are. therefore, less given to attempting autocratic designs. They see that safety and lasting success lie in mod eration, not in excesses. THE PLAY THIS WEEK The Forsyth. The Forsyth bill this week has cre ated a great deal of comment.
