ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION —_— JAMES COUZENS Many men have risen'to financial success, but few have risen to large fortune so suddenly as did Senator James Couzens of Michigan, whose sudden death was recorded this week, and handled it so ably after acquiring it. Couzens rose from $40 a month to millions annually, but he was the kind who carried on in the same charitable, straightforward manner after being wealthy as he did in the more lowly sta- tion of life. One biographer wrote of him: resolution his voice under control, “If one sets out to analyze the character of James Couzens, he finds it was molded of many things, of self-control, of self-denial, of hard labor, of unselfish expenditure of energy for the common weal, for example, but above all of a great charity.” To write the story of the life of James Couzens s to tell a large part of the history of the Ford Motor Company. Couzens went to Detroit when he was 18 years old and obtained a job as a car checker at $40 a month Previously he had been a train butcher between Sarnia and Rondeau, Ontario. He spent five years at car checking and then went into the offices of the Michigan Central Railroad. From the railroad offices ne went with Malcomson as bookkeeper in a coal yard, later become manager of a branch office in Toledo. It was in 1903 that Henry Ford and James Couzens met and the industrial epic of Detroit began. It came about through Malcomson, who in offering to advance Ford some capital to start his third automotive ven- ture stipulated that he (Malcomson) should name a representative in the management. The man he named was James Couzens and Couzens' duty was to gee that the $3,000 Malcomson had promised to ad- vance was not needlessly dissipated and also to try to line up investors Couzens became secretary of the company, but the men who worked in the plants he really was re- garded as the general manager. Fot 13 years he wi the business brains of the greatest of motor factories. The company met with immediate financial success. In the first year it paid out $12,000 in dividends. Mr. Couzens originally purchased 25 shares at $100 a share. paying $1,000 in cash and giving notes for the re- mainder. Subsequently he acquired 85 additional shares and when a stock dividend of 1900 per cent .was declared he came into possession of a total of 2,180 shares. It generally has been regarded as largely due fo Couzens’ keen financial administration that un to the time the stock of the minority share holders was taken over by Henry and Edsel Ford in 1919, total dividends paid out by the company amounted to $96,290,385.96. This was 16 years after the company was organized. When Mr. Couzens finally sold his 2,180 shares of stock to Henry and Edsel Ford he received $29,- A N to 308,857.90. In his income tax ceturn for 1919 he paid the government $7,281,807.59. The Treasury later de- clared this was insufficient by $9,455,303.10. Then followed the controversy with Secretary Mellon that brought sharp words on both sides. Tt continued after Mr. Couzens was elected in 1924 to serve the full term, and probably had its final out- burst in March, 1928, when Mr. Couzens introduced a in the senate demanding Mr. Mellon’s resignation. The resolution was pigeon-holed. The Couzens-Ford break came out into the open in 1923. It was shortly after Mr. Couzen’s espousal ¢f a modification of the prohibition law. Ford severely criticized Couzens for his stand. Ford suggested that he military and naval forces be used to enforce pro- Libition, This in turn was attacked by Mr. Couzens. r. Ford said Mr. Couzens was advocating modifica- ion merely to keep himself in the public eye. It was about that time the “Ford-for-president” boom was under way. In a prepared speech before the Detroit Republican club on October 31, 1923 Couzens bitterly denounced the Ford boom. Reading from his manuscript and seeking to keen Mr. Couzens said: “Not only do I want to save Mr. Ford from the sreatest humiliation that ever could befall a man, but I want equally to save the United States govern- ment from the humiliation it would suffer if a man »f Mr. Ford's experience and training got into the White House. “I never loved a man and thought so much of a man in his place as I do Henry Ford. There never vas & man who was kinder and more thoughtful to me than Henry Ford, and I wouldn’t make this statement now, even though he has charged me with insincerity of purpose, except that he is a candidate for the presidency of the United States.” A few weeks later Henry Ford came out for Calvin Coolidge for president, and it was not long afterw that Ford and Couzens were seeing each other again, at family social functions and other times. Mr. Couzens gave millions to charity and in this was joined by Mrs. Couzens. The exact amount per- haps never will be known, but it was well in excess »f $20,000,000. Invariably these benefactions had as their inspiration the plight of handicapped or under- developed children. Hundreds of thousands of dol- lars were given each year to orphanages, children’s hospitals and nurses’ homes. To the Children’s Hos- pital of Michigan he gave approXimately $2,000,000 and promised more as the reed arose. When in 1927 a mad man set off an explosion that wrecked the schoclhouse at Bath, Michigan, and killed 44 children, Mr. Couzens promptly rebuilt the school at a cost of $75,000. Referring to the fura one of the trustees appoint- ed to administer it said: “Senator Couzens always has been deeply inter- ested in children of tender years, especialy those who are sick or handicapped. He feels these little children are not here by their own choice, and are not in any way responsible for their physical disabilities, and that justice demands their difficulties be alleviated or cured; that their lives be made happy and agree- able, and with as little suffering as possible.” In the lobby of the school house at Bath, Mich., is a small bronze statue that symbolizes probably better than anything else Mr. Couzens' conception of what childhood should mean. It is the statue of a smiling girl. Happiness is written in the face and posture of the child. Under one arm is a children whose lives were snuffed out by the explosion of May, 1927. That quake up in the Interior probably is just old Mother Nature turning things over a bit so the prospectors will make a lot of new strikes next summer.
