Show NEW ERA OF PUBLIC SERVICE SOME of the biggest industrial leaders in the United States are setting set-ting a fine pace in serving the governmental gov-ernmental department at $1.00 per year. Captains of industry like Ryan of the Anaconda Copper Co., Jack-Hug Jack-Hug of Utah Copper Co., Schwab of United States Steel, are samples. The man who has achieved national fame ts a doer of big things, and who thinks in. six to eight figures has no temptation to ruin his good name.

Perkins, the New York capitalist, who i9 giving his time to the national campaign for the Y. M. C. A. war work has this salutary concept: "A reconstruction period is at hand. We must take on new nationalism. Precedent makes cowards of us all." |
