FORD'S “BENEVOLENT DESPOT
ISM.”
Henry Ford, the auutomobile man,
who aroused international interest by
his action in doubling the wages of
his employes, has taken a further
step, which some of the employes aie
inclined to resent. He has made il
plain that one reason for his action
in increasing the wages paid was that
the men, by adopting a higher scale
of living, would increase their effi
ciency and thus their value to him.
BuBt in making this plain he has
also aroused resentment by neces
sary interference with what some of
his employes are inclined to regard
as their own private affairs.
He is now insisting that men who
are in receipt of such liberal wages
as he is paying must, if they desire
to continue in his employ, raise their
standar dof living. They must live
well and provide belter surroundings
for those dependent upon them, or
else make way for others who will
make better use of the opportunities
which he is giving him employes.
He objects to the single men living
in cheap rooming houses, under con
ditions possibly insanitary. He in
sists that married men shall not take
boarders, destroying the privacy of
their homes and imposing additional
burdens upon their wives. This may
be looked upon as an attempt at
benevolent despotism, as others look
ed upon the original raising of wages
to an extraordinarily high standard as
quixotic altruism. Yet, the possible
object in both cases may have been
the same. He has removed the ex
cuse for a low standard of living on
the part of his employes, expecting
to reap some returns from the in
creased efficiency of a laor force at
tached to their work and made steady
and reliable by an atmosphere con
ducing to health and contentment,
if there are among his employes those
who do not care to increase iheir ef
ficiency in this manner, they must
make place for others prepared to do
so. The position is logical.—Ex.

CHICAGO POLICE
Farmhand Who Killed Three and Es
caped to Chicago Is Caught by
Police and Confesses.
CHICAGO, May 16—Harry Beard, a
farmhand today confessed that he had
killed his employer and his employ
er’s mother and sister following a
quarrel on the farm at Ironton, O.,
and that he had then fled to this city,
where he hoped to hide and escape
punishment for the crime. Beard told
the police that he lost his temper and
killed the farmer, crushing his skull
with a rock and that he then killed
the sister and aged mother to prevent
them telling of the murder, cutting
the throats of both. He denied that
he had outraged the sister prior to or
after her death.
The police had been asked by the
Ohio authorities to watch for Beard,
who had disappeared and they traced
him part way to Chicago, but lost
his trail. The Chicago detectives
found him in a cheap lodging house,
as his money was all gone and he
was unable to secure work.
The murderer is only 18 years old
and the police believe that he is un
sound mentally. He has made a full
confession and is willing to go back
and stand trial. Officers from Ohio
are now en route' here to take the
murderer back for trial.
FEDERAL CONTROL
OF PIPE LINES
Oil Operator in Oklahoma Asks Con
gressional Committee to Investi
gate Conditions.
WASHINGTON, May IB.—Charles
Wrightman, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, to
dad urged upon the House committee
on Interstate Commerce the, control
of all pipe lines, claiming that the
lines now in operation in this state
constitute a monopoly in restraint
of trade and that exorbitant rates arc
charged by the owners for transport
ing oil from point to point.
"The federal control of the pipe
lines would force the operators to
give the independent oil companies a
fair rate and would prevent the trusts
from securing preferential rates, as
at present the pipe lines refuse an
independent operators oil until he has
lost millions of gallons and then they
charge exorbitant prices until the
wells are sold to the trust," said
Wrightman.
He offered to prove his statements
if the committee would issue sub
poenas for certain operators in Ok
lahoma, and urged an Investigation.

ON THE SOUNO
Independent Company to Operate Here
When Coal Lands Are Opened
and Coal Is Cheap.
SEATTLE, *May 16.—Just .s soon
as the coal of the Matanuska fields
is available for use an independent
smelter will be established in the
Prince William Sound country for the
purpose of securing a share of the
business of the mining companies op
erating in this section. '
The smelter will be operated in op
position to the Guggenheim smelter
at Tacoma and it is expected that
with the cost of transportation of
both ore and coal deducted a saving
can be made over the present trust
charges for reducing ores and also
that lower grade copper now not min
ed will be put on the market and the
mining industry in Southwestern
Alaska greatly increased.
The location of the smelter has not
been made known and it is expect
ed that the terminus of the govern
ment railroad will affect the selec
tion of the location for the reduction
plant
