Business Outlook of The
Country
James J. Hill, the "Empire
Builder", the "Father of the
Northwest", cannot see why the
business men of the country
should at present fear to engage
in new enterprises, nor can hesee
any reason whatever for the
semi-paralysis which is gradually
creeping over the United States.
"It's only a senseless lack of
confidence," said Mr. Hill, in an
interview just given out.
"And why this lack of confi
dence? Some man, somewhere,
has grown timid over something
or other, and has cried 'boo' at
his neighbor. His neighbor prob
ably jumped and the next fellow
took fright without knowing why
he was frightened. And so on.
"It's just like a flock of sheep.
If one starts to run, every sheep
in the flock will follow, even if
they die for it.
"During this big National Con
servation Congress we talked
about conserving water and con
serving land; conserving coal and
conserving iron; it's too bad
somebody didn't say a word
about conserving common sense.
"That's what this country
needs right now—to conserve
common sense. There's an ar
ticle by Col. George Harvey in
the September North American
Review dealing with the Conser
vation of Common Sense that
well illustrates the business
dition of this country right
and gives as the panacea for the
business paralysis, the sugges
tion that our business men use a
con
now
little conution sense—just ordin
ary common sense. I wish busi
ness men everywhere would take
I can see no reason for the
advice.
'
fears which seem to possess our ;
business men. I have preached
a'return to the farm' policy for^od
years and expect to continue to
do so; but that's no reason for
fear on the part of business.
"Money and business are, of
course, very careful and it is
right that they should be, but
not to the extent of cutting off
their noses to spite their faces.
Especially when it is so unneces
sary and they need the noses, too.
"Here's a little excerpt which,
to my mind, bears down hard
and strikes at the core of our
present ills:
" 'In the disestablisment of
credit we find the most obvious
cause of the prevailing depres
sion. The link that connects
labor with capital is not broken,
but we may not deny that it. is
less cohesive than it should be or
than conditions warrant. Fi
nancially, thecountry is stronger
than ever before in its history.
Recovery from a panic so severe
as that of three years ago w as
never before so prompt and com
paratively complete. The mas
ses are practically free from debt.
Money is held by the banks in
abundance and rates are low.
a
" 'Why then does Capital pause
upon the threshold of invest
ment? The answer we believe to
be plain. It awaits adjustment
of the relations of government to
business. Such, at any rate, is
the plea, and pressure is con
stantly brought to bear upon
executives and courts to make
haste—haste which, in our judg
ment, would result in less speed.
Great complications growing
out of mightily changed condi
tions call for the most serious
consideration. To settle a grave
question offhand is only to invite
disaster. Better not settle it at
all until a reasonable certainty
can be felt that it can be settled
right. Stability is ever Capital's
primary requirement. But the
adjustment which it now de
mands cannot be affected in a
month or a year and never can
or should be complet«. Elastic
ity is the prime requisite of
changes essential to develop
ment.
" 'But Capital is notoriously
timid. In the present instance,
too, it is absolutely foolish. No
decision of any court can per
manently impair any so-called
vested interest. Confiscation is
undreamed of, as compared with
only a few years ago. The disin
tegration of properties does not
involve their destruction. More
over, the sharp revolt against
all combinations—those that
achieve great good no less than
those that work injury—is clearly
yielding to study and reason.
No sane person now maintains
that business—especially manu
facturing— canorsbould bedone
as it wasdonebalf acenturyago.
In a broad sense, the day of the
,
individual competitor is past,
but the opportunity of the indi
vidual remains even wider within
the corporation. The sole prob
lem consists of determining how
government can maintain an
even balance between aggrega
Gons of interest, on theonehand,
for^od the whole people, on the
other, protecting the latter
against extortion and saving
the former from assaults.
The solution is not easy to
find for the simple reason that
the situation is without prece
dent. But is not progress being
made along sane and cautious
lines? Surely no menace to prop
erty or to human rights lies in the
striving for such a solution.
Both will be safeguarded by its
certain finding.' "
U (
VP TO TAFT AGAIN
After he had heard from Cali
fornia; after the defeat of Hamer
had been conveyed to him, and
after the overwhelming victory
of Poindexterin Washingtonhad
been announced. President Taft
concluded that he would give in
surgent members of his party
the same treatment in political
appointments that he has given
the standpatters, a privilege
which had before that been with
held from them as a punishment
for their refusal longer to wear
the collar of the "old time" po
litical bosses who were all stand
patters.
Now that Tawney of Minne
sota, that Tawney in whose in
terests Taft made a speech in
dorsing Cannon and declaring
the new tariff law the. best the
party could make, the Tawney for
whom Roosevelt made an ad
dress, Tawney the man spoken
of as the probable successor to
Cannon in case the standpatters
won a majority of the republican
congressmen—now- that Tawney
has been swept to defeat by the
same tide of republican insur
gency, it is possible that Presi
dent Taft will take another step
and announce his determination
to recoguize the insurgents as
the controlling factors in the re
publican party.
As a purely political considera
tion the party ought not to in
vite defeat by alliance with the
stand pat element. The people
all over the country, in nearly
every state, county and precinct,
have already shown in no unmis
takable terms that they endorse
the progressive policies of the in
surgent element. To go counter
to that policy is to invite inevit
able defeat. The opposition al
ready made will have its effect
probably in giving the democrats
a majority of the next national
congress. Its continuance would
give them the next president, be
cause the people o! the country
are thinking and voting along
progressive lines. The old order
of things has passed.—Capital
