Advertising Rates upon appllratlon The Case for the Business Man that inexhaustible In Frazer's Golden Bough source book of human custom and superstition there is a striking description of a tribal scapegoat being scourged with thorns to atone for the sins of the people. A resume of the custom is made by llenry Morton Robinson, and printed in the Reader's Digest recently. Excerpts from this article should help explain some of our popular scapegoat tendencies toward the Ameri- can Business man. The urge to pillory someone, and to shoulder the general blame off onto a defenseless class or individual, breaks out with special fury when the heavens darken, or an installment on our past folly is about to fall due. Today, as the clouds lower over our country, we have pounced upon the Business Man as our favorite victim ; amid the huzzahs of the multitude we now drag him off to the sacrifice. All the miseries and failures of American life are piled into a gloomy pyre, and the Business Man is laid upon it while the rabble nimbly applies the torch. Suppose we calmly analyze the ase against the business man and see how it stands up. He is accused fundamentally of making money and caring about nothing else. He is charged with subordinating all other values human, social, and spiritual to the First Law of Profit. He skimps on wages, and grinds hiremployes to powder. He exploits" natural and human resources. Definitely he is a thing of evil and must be cast out before society can come to any good. That these charges are not wholly convincing is clear to anyone with enough historical perspective to realize that most of the progress ever made in this country is due largely to the pluck, enterprise and hardihood of private business. Without the business man the bulk of Americans would still be digging clams along the shores of Massachusetts Bay. Indeed it is no exaggeration to say that the copious not only fulfillment of the American promise-obser- ved in higher wages, shorter hours, and better housing, hut in the broadest cultural development and loftiest social diaspiration that this world has hitherto dreamed is With man. business American to the traceable rectly the lever of business, this new Archimedes has not only moved, but actually lifted the world I But suppose for a moment that everything charged against the business man were true; suppose he were Who among proved to be greedy, selfish, his accusers is free of similar sins? Who among them is eligible to cast the first atone? To take specific cases: Does the ordinary housewife treat her servant with unfailing consideration? Does the fanner voluntarily share the fruits of harvest with his hired man? He does not, yet works him like an indentured slave 12 to 15 hours a day. Universities, museums, foundations are neither remarkably humane nor dazzlingly generous to their employes. And politicians, those stone in hand gentlemen who usually lead the procession up to the foot of the pillory, guys." Verily, their are perfect examples of one-wstudpockets are lined with fishhooks. They are great ents of the dollar (their own dollar) and are adept only at spending without scruple other peoples money. and The professional classes, particularly lawyers physicians, are highly vocal about the "ethics that govern their actions. But is the doctor always scrupulous? And the lawyer, skilled in the intricacies (and flexibilities) of the law is he never moved to embroider the homespun fabric of truth? Gaze now at the teacher. Does a passion for pure learning always animate his soul? I he never dogmatic, biased, harsh to those who oppose him? Alas, experience testifies that the ethical behavior of the professional classes is not always superior to, or different from, the business man "grubbing in the marts of Unanimously passed by the Orem Town board, and approved by the State Health department, a Health Ordinance la now In effect In the Town of Orem, according to minute of the Town Board meet- in held Monday night.
