For many years utility corpora

A few years ago politi¬
and newspapers were charg¬
ing them with everything from
liars to professional
thieves. When construction
material was cheap and salar¬
ies $40 to $75 per month we were
told they were robbing the public
as they collected 2J cent railway
fares and 5 cent car fares.
In either event, whoever may be
right or whoever may be wrong,
there is one thing decidedly sure,
and that is that these corporations
must have been then making an
enormous profit if they are not
losing an enormous amount now.
Railroad passenger rates have
been increased ij cents per mile,
and car fare in cities two or three
cents per passenger, while the cost
of rolling stock and material has
advanced by leaps and bounds.
Salaries paid employees have
doubled and trebled many tunes.
Compare the cost of operation and
maintenance at the present time
with cost of operation and main¬
tenance in pre wartimes. It is in¬
teresting to make a comparison of
this kind in any kind of business;
year ago was when a comparison
of this kind would have applied to
the farm.' You’ll likely conclude
itswonderful how the roads manage
to operate at all. Furthermore,
when we take into consideration
the additional accidents occurring
0.1 all roads by the introduction of I
automobiles and the additional cost
to the railroads through damage
suits resulting from accidents for
which they are really not us respon¬
sible as the person who carelessly
drives the car, but for which the
public must pay, we realize a tre¬
mendous additional expenditure in
this item.
Upon our public util■ ty corpora¬
tions much depends the develop¬
ment and prosperity of every com
muniy, and the country as it wages
war on these corporations must not
permit itself to injure rather than
benefit by its experience. Public
utilities are great benefactors and
they most decidedly are entitled to
a just and reasonable compensation,
no more and no less.
But, although the cost of living
is being materially reduced, see
how tenatiously railway employees
(where strikes have prevailed) are
standing firm for a continuance of
the war time wage scale.
Why not the union laborer, like
his country cousin (the farmer) put
in his ten, twelve or sixteen hours
daily, and that at a corresponding
wage ?

“Beat a retreat,” said Napoleon
to a drummer boy, when in one of
his battles he felt that he. was los¬
ing and that his army must retreat
in order to be saved.
“Sire,” said the drummer boy,
“I have never learned to beat a re¬
treat, but I can beat a march that
will make the dead rise and fight.”
He received permission from the
General to beat a march, into
which.he threw his very soul. The
tired, weary, almost defeated sol¬
diers caught the inspiration of the
charge, and with new energy and
quickened fire of body and spirit
rushed once nure to the battle and
won a great victory.
The people of this country feel
that they have been almost defeat¬
ed ;discouragement fills their minds
and hearts. The power of the
enemy has almost reached the limit
of their endurance. They have
been beating a retreat, but the time
has come to beat a march and catch
that new inspiration which Napo¬
leon’s soldiers felt at the stirring
music brought forth by the
domitable drummer boy who knew
not how to beat a retreat.
Every man who is pessimistic, or
who permits the discouragements
of the hour to dominate him, is
beating a retreat. He is not only
beating a retreat for his own busi
but he is beating a retreat for all
with whom he conies in touch. The
time has come to beat a march, to
sound the charge, to quicken the
life blood of the nation once more,
and out of the apparent defeat of
‘ the last twelve months rally for a
new charge, a new creative period
of work and energy. Forgetting
the things that are behind, we
must press forward with greater
energy to overcome the difficulties
which ns a nation we have had to
face.
Every man who draws within
bis business shell, every man who
cancels his contracts or pessimistic¬
ally refuses to do business because
<jf his fears of the future, is beat¬
ing a retreat.
Every man who goes ahead, who
lias the optimism of the drummer
boy and n spirit which dares to do
things, is beating a march on to
victory.
If throughout the entire nation
there can be rekindled the drum¬
mer boy’s fire, we shall soon have
optimism and sunshine and pros
perty, where tdday therd is pessim¬
ism and doubt and despair.
It was the drummer boy whose
work inspired the great Napoleon
and his troops. It must be the
drummer boy of the business world
the farmer and the small merchant,
and the individual business man
who beats the march and sounds
the charge rather than the great
business leaders who have halted
so long.
ones
be the ones to dare and do the
most.
The men who would have beat a
march on to victory ovea the threat¬
ened disaster which they have so
long faced will be the red-blooded
men who know that the nation can¬
not stand still and who are deter¬
mined to lead the charge.
The pessimist is tiie shirker.
The optimist is the burden-bear¬
er.
The pessimist is the man who
beats the retreat.
The optimist is tlte man who
sounds the charge.
