E . _The price of service furnishes an underlying principle that affects all industry. Profiteers got rich on “service at cost plus ten per cent.” Crooked operators made the service cost as much as they. could, since every additional dollar expended added ten cents to their ill-gotten wealth. = : P The public naturally likes to get servire “at -as near-cost a8 possible. The scheme has been talked about a-great deal with reference to street ear operation, because everyone who rides on these conveyances is very particular not to have the|* transportation company collect undue dividends on his fares. “Service at cost,” said Calvert Townley, one of the prin- cipal engineers of the country, in discussing the Boston Elevated railwa$. affair, does not mean that the people will get “service atja low-price. Cost,” he added,-“gbes up because nobody-in :R’t organization gains by keeping it down.” His-theory is iht “‘progressive, constructive investment comes only where vigor and brains have a chance for gain, ing to take a corresponding risk of loss.”. .. " -~ Intthe process of lowering prices, through which the ‘coun- is passing, the question of service plays an important part. Nothing of value should be bought at cost. What the American ptblic ‘evidently wants is the opportunity to purchase in the open market, free of restraint, and at prices that will be suf- ficient ‘to" protect capital and its investments, labor. and its rights and wages. And that is-about all they do want! Such & procési-does not contemplate “service at cost’”” ‘or-“gervice at a low price.” It contemplates the enforcement of the Golden Rule. . .y \ ; \ MOTTOES. . ; “You may bring t% your office and put in a framea motto a¥ fine as its paint; but if you're a crook when you're playing the game, that motto won't make you a safint. - You can stick b the- placards all over the hall, but here is the word I an- nounce: It isn’t the motto that hangs on the wall, but the motto / you live that counts.” ; 4 L " " ¢ the motto says ‘Smile,’ and you cafty a_frogn 3 Dt now,’ and you linger and wait; if the:motto says * lelp,” ahd you trample men down; if-the motto says ‘Lijve,’ you won’t get away with the mottoes you stall; for tru come forth with a bounce—it isn’t the motto that hangs®#‘the wall, I;ut the motto you Live, that counts.”—Shafer Service agazine.
