It is far ea»l<»r to point to tho nils t'hlef flip Democrat* art- doing t»y iholr wall meant erforta to break up ihe unholy alliance between buxine** and Koverninent than to neck for Tuoro plnualble and true causes for buxlnras dullness and lack of confi dence. Mr. Mellon, in bln testimony baa ring upon the New York Ai New Haven looting, said that exorbitant salaries are paid to the executive of ficers of raliroada so that they will ba aubiarvtent to their financial mas ters on the directorate*, "who make profits through their control of the railroad and outside business.". The people throughout this country gauerally fail to realize the utter waste and gapping of resources due to the payuieut of digprot>ortionate and unearned HSlarieg This fancy salary custom pervades almost In ovary line of Industry and business Too often Its real purpose Is bribery and hush money; but even when this it not tha cate, the legitimate profits of stock conn antes are eaten up by the payment of salaries out of all pro part ion. to reasonable expectations of yearly profit*. It was found when the life insur ance scandal was revealed that the money, which should have gone to the policyholders was diverted for the benefit of high finance, as operated by the board of directors and the boards of director* met with no oh etructlon from the greatly overpaid officer* of the companies. The fancy t-alary It on the fare of It s waste and it Is generally a suspicious clrcum stance, because It Is given for some thing else than the officer's work for the organization The president and high officers of any company should ba willing to take their chances along with the stockholders and vary their salaries with the profits and loase* Of tha coriwratlon* they manage \\v mean, of course, that a fair minimum salary should be secured to every truly valuable man, but no manager or high officer in a company should ba entitled to a princely living, whether the attain of his ootnpany languish or progress, while the stock holder* take the ups and dawns of the business, many of which are due to errors of judgment and other mis takes In the management. A revis ion of salaried figureheads would do as much to bring down the high cost of living as the reform of the tariff laws. Hut this Is something business will do for itoelf as soon us it fully grasps that the day of government aid la over. SgH- snurfMg Bill ■S=3; : ] J 11 . h rvfC ' ‘i|! THE WA YS OF THRIFT Copyright, 1914, American Society for Thrift. h COMPULSORY THRIFT A SUCCESS. "We regard thrift ns close to the basis of domestic felicity,” said Judge Arthur J. l.ucy of the Domestic Relations C’ourt of Detroit, Michigan, In a letler to the president of the American Society for Thrift, Simon W. Hlraus. a Chicago banker, lie added: "The prime motive controlling tills court Is to restore families to normal conditions wherever possible. We aim to handle the situation by controlling the tlnanees before arrest by voluntary arrangements. The husband, in order to avoid arrest, Is willing voluntarily to plaee him self under the advisory supervision of the court. He arranges to pay a certain amount of his wages into court; a portion Is restored to him and a portion paid to the wife. Where we consider It desirable, he Is required to render an account of all bis expenditures and hIH wife so do likewise. When she comes for her second allowance she must render an Itemized statement of everything slio has expended out of the first allowance. She is willing to do this, because she wants support for herself and her chil dren. "The result of the family accounting department is wonderful, and it is exceedingly popular with the husbands as well as the wives. The money passing through this department now amounts to about $1,200 a week. It checks intemperance, extravagance, improvidence and encour ages thrift, economy and business methods. We educate wives in buying. By a sliding scale of graduated allowance, dependent on conduct, we arc able, In a measure, lo control the conduct of the wives and Interfering rela tives. The better they uct. the more they get. As Boon as the families are gotten on a sound financial basis, which wdll enable them to do so, we encourage the making of small savings deposits.” In this letter Judge Uary went on to show that, mainly through the.se wise method, of handling the income and teaching thrift in its expenditure, over nine hundred families were reconciled and adjusted by the court, and over HO per cent, remained permanent. The rendition seen by Judge Lacy was made the subject of resolutions and. at the request of the Society feiation deplores the fact that the thins, as follows: "Resolved, That the —• Associations deplores the fact that the precept, of thrift are not taught In the public schools and are given scant consideration In the institutions of higher learning, and it is the sense of this body that greater emphusis should lie laid upon the thrift of indi viduals, greater attention tie paid to stimulating thrift, and that wo urge, co far as practical, that those in chnrge of educational institutions give greater attention to this important matter, and that all public officials and all Individuals of public prominence be urged to emphasize In speeches, as occasion offers, the need for a greater awakening to the Importance of in dividual thrift ns a means, successfully and certainly to cope with the cost of living and other problems both moral and economic.” Other organizations might well take similar action.
