The radical element of the majority party would like to adopt some form of cloture to make it easy to drive party easures through with little or no considera- tion on the floor. Under such a rule any sort of ill-considered bill could be forced into life as law. The experience of the last congress af- fords some {lluminating examples of the danger | of enacting laws without debate and under pres- sure of party power. Inexcusable defects in the | tariff and revenue laws, in the reserve banking | law and in other important measures were caught after passing the house, due to partisan determination to prevent proper coneideration of bills on the floor. Overlong dehate may be annoying to the party in the majority, but its indulgence is not nearly so dangerous as the threat of legislation without debate. Caucus control is serviceable when it does not hamper proper expression of opinion and Interchange of reason in the open, and becomes a menace when it seeks to regulate public utterance. At any rate, the democratic rn(hun}n(- for domina- tion by the caucus are not likely to ecarry their point. ——— Abolish 'Phone Tolls Inside City Limits. The question of telephone Omaha and South Omaha, which has been held ih abeyance since the Greater Omaha merger nearly six months ago, is again forcing itself on the city council. The telephone people, natu- rally, want to be permitted to go along as they have been, making toll business of calls between Omaha and Bouth Omaha, except where the sub- scriber pays an extra rate in lleu of the tolis. But there is no logical basis for treating South Omaha different from Florence, or Benson, or Dundee, except that it has been customary. True, many South Omaha ’'phone subscribers who do not have much use for Omaha connec- | tions probably prefer the lower rate and limited service they are now enjoying, and if the tele- phone company wants to make them a special price for a one-exchange service, nothing pre- vents, but no good reason exists why it should exact tolls for Bouth Omaha calis from the other exchanges to make up the difference, 3 We doubt if there is another city in the country, barring measured service cities, In which telephone tolls are collected between ex- changes inside the city limits. It is only a mat- ter of time at most when the Omaha-to-South Omaha toll will have to be abolished. And If eventually, why not now? Awaiting the Peace Crusaders. Far be it from us to dissuade any who feel impelled to make an earnest effort to restore peace to a distracted world. any word of encouragement or help will be cheerfully given. But this willingness to assist in the good work must not operate to obscure the blank wall against which the proposed op- erations are to be directed. The addresses made and action taken at the opening of the Reichstag's session on Tuesday portends liitle notion on part of Germany to abandon the war, Utterances of public men and leaders in other Furopean countries are of similar import, and warrant for the present at least that the ap- proaching Christmas will find Mars actively engaged in field campaigns as did Yuletide of a YOar ag Mi Jane Addams need not worry about never again being greeted with applause and kindly encouragement by her American friends. She may 80 on as many peace errands as she likes, and may feel sure of welcome when she returns, That some folks disapprove of the present undertaking and hold it a wild goose chasé, foredoomed to failure, need not discour- age Miss Addams or any who may join the ven- ture, At least, they will have tried. But the fires of hatred burn too fiercely in Europe just now to be quickly quenched, nor will the winds of battle die before a few kind word: Destinies are be'ng determined, and peace is not posgible until the issue has been fairly decided, Automobile in-the Home. Deciding that it is not cruelty for a wife to “compel” her husband to buy an automobile, the Douglas county distriet court has opened up a new fleld in household relations. Perhaps this is but the orderly march of progress, de- noting another step in the slowly unfolding process of evolution that Is gradually bringing man to perfection. In the beginning that word “compel” had no part in the comity of husband and wife; but change has come over this as other things, until the husband may expect, while the wife may compel. And it is note- worthy, too, that the ever-lengthening list of “household necessities” now includes the auto- mobile. However, its status as such is not yet definitely fixed, for It is only negatively pre- sented in its present aspect. Until the court shall have held that it s cruelty for a husband to refuse to buy a car for his complaining spouse, there is hope for the old-fashioned. Size of Verdiot Not the Test. Statements emanating from the court house that verdicts returned by juries drawn under the new law are smaller in amount than under the old, should not mislead as to th&operation of the law or the measure of improvement in the juries, The size of the verdict obtained is not the final test of a jury's efficiency; what a lti- gant should seek in court and has a right to ex- pect is justice. It is true some apparently large awards were made in personal damage suits by Douglas county juries, drawn under the old sys- tem, but in nowise can the law under which a Jjury was drawn be charged with this, Nor is it certain the juries now being called will not r suine the practice of “‘soaking’ the corporations when finding in favor of the plaintiffs, What the public is really interested In knowing Is whether the course of justice is made more or less prompt and certain and whether the rights of litigants are more or less secure. If the new law is giving us juries more dependable for just verdiets, its vindication will be found in that and that alone. ———— Nebraska seems to be furnishing quite a few cases for the United States supreme court, each of which means one or more Nebraska lawyers in the big spotlight. It is to be noted, too, that where they bump up against outside talent be- fore that court Nebraska lawyers have been bolding thelr own tolerably well, senators at Wash- | ington is counter with its old snag in the rules | Schwah | S wall Street Jourmal, e #ome years ago the owners of more than 20,0000 shares asked Mr. Echwab for representation on the board it tolls between | On the contrary, | was clearly made evident that the only partners M hwab desired were stéel makers, With these Mr Schwab divides profits, similarly as he divided with the United States Steel corporation. When he was asked by Mr. Morgan tcname his salary, he replied “The normal earnings of this corporation are seventy millions. All | want for a salary is — per cent of the increase.” It Is not necessary to give the exact figure; the principle is the same It would surprise most people, however, to learn | that Charles M. Schwab has never taken a cent of #alary or commissions or profits from the Bethlehem Steel corporation. Some of his assoclate makers of | Steel receive as high as $500.000 a year for their work but they must earn it, for there is no salary in Bethlehem exceeding $10,000 per annum. Mr. Schwab, knowing steel from jte beginnings, determines the unit In every department, and then sets the premiums for Increases In business efficiency and economies and st such ratio as to derive the largest profit from every department. The general staff has a general division, but the men who make the profits in their departments have thelr percentages for their cost | wages gain. Where Mr, Schwab has set the unit | standard at 31 for cost, 'and a manager or superin- tendent gets 1 per cent of reduetion down to 9, he | not only gets 2 per cent for the next 5 per cent re | duction and 3 per cent for the next 5 per cent reduc. tion, but the highest rate applies on the total reduc tion, so that there fs every incentive for a man | strive for the last dollar of efficiency. to | A sales agent for Bethlehem is not a scrambler for | &ross business, for he gets no commission on hie | sales. e gets a percentage of the profits made from | the goods he sells. He is, therefore, a hustler for profits, and not for total sales. He is not a mere | sales agent. He must become a merchant seeking profit in his sales, studying markets, finance, plant | eapacity and fundamentals of but.aess. Mr. Schwab is called one of the world's best sales- men. ‘This description Is wholly Inadequate. He e a maker of steel makers and a maker of steel mer- chants. | must have made millions by the rise in Bethlehem and | the opportunity to buy and sell its shares. But the truth is that Schwab is not and has not been elther buyer or seller in Bethlehem Steel shares, nor has he ever marked up the price of the stock upon his books. Mr. Schwab keeps as careful a balance sheet of his personal affalrs as auditors do of the affairs of Bothlehem. He has as little ambition to hold milllons In his pessession as Andrew Carnegle, and Mr. Carnegie has glven away three-quarters of his $400,000,000, | These statements can be made Schwab and Bethlehem Steel: 1. Mr. Schwab has never received a dollar for sal- ary, commissions or returns of any kind for his work for Bethlehem Steel, beyond the dividends upon his preferred shares, 2. He has not been a buyer or seller of Bethlehem Steel, common or preferred, but stands with his In- vestment as originally—about 9,000 shares of pra- ferred and 6,000 shares of common, which he still keeps on his books at his orfgthal price of 70 for tha preferred and 4) for the common. ’ 3. Although Mr. Schwab refuses to consider stock dividend or cash dividends ‘at the present time on Bethlehem common ond only recently would permit the payment of the full 7 per cent on the non- cumulative preferred stock, he has refused many cash offers for hif stock. When it was selling at $20. he was offered $40 cash for all his stock, but declined. 4. Mr. Schwab, more recently, was offeréd 3500 per share cash for all nis common stock and $200 cash for all his preferred stock—a total of $53,000,000, Mr, Schwab to hold the proxies on the stock and remain in control of the company for ten years. This offer Mr. Schwab also declined, 5. Mr. Schwab admitted récently In conference with some of the protesting minority stockholders that the common stock next year was lkely to represent assets of $100 per share If crders now on the books were successtully carrled out 6. Mr. 8chwab says he has no plans in mind for division of the sharcs or dividends. - His heart is in Betblehem and he wants to see it one of the Kreat steel successes of the world. He, therefore, does not propose (o bank on anything before it 18 well in hand. Just before the recent fire, which coat the company $1,600,000, he declared ‘“There is a big difference some- times between expectations and realization,” 7. All the plans that are put up to Mr. Sehwab for #tock dividends and cash dividends appear to have no more Influence upon him than the cash and se- ourities in the treasury of the company, now amount- Ing to between $30,000,000 and $50,000,000, 8 Mr. Schwab is determined that Bethlehem's credit shall be of th: highest and thut every order for goods shall not only be filled on time but in advance. Every order he has taken has been filled well in advance. One of the reasons for his taking over the Fore River Shipbuilding company in Quiney, Masa., out of which Bethlehem will now make many milions, was to Insurc the fulfillment of its Ship- bullding company contracts made in:South Ameriea in conjunction with Mr. Schwab's armor plate con- tracts, 9. Mr. Schwab recently declined war orders aggre- gating $50,000,000, deliveries to begin next July. Present orders on the books which have heen as high ss 300,000,000, will probably all be turned off in 1916, but Mr. Schwab would not make a prc not anticipate, concerning Mr. ilse that he could Twice Told Tales Froved.

It becomes more and more apparent as the weeks &0 by that the master mind in the steel trade of this country Is the same that was behind Andrew Carnegie and pushed him into the wealth of his hundreds of mil- Hone; the mind around which Mr. Morgan organized the United States Steel corporation—Charies M. chwab of the Bethlohem Steel corporation.
