Why is Big Business
Sinister?
Why does the public regard Big Business with
apprehension and disfavor?
Chiefly, perhaps, because normally the "interests"
are inarticulate silent. Presumably, therefore, up to
some nefarious scheme that will not stand publicity.
The long stillnesses are broken occasionally by a
sudden, naive "campaign to the people" by some
corporation whose hide is being pinched in the gate
of legislation at the moment.
.All the other elements in the usual mix-up are
constantly at work expounding. Labor is always at it.
The politician lives by repetition.
The trust magnate alone remains silent until the
eleventh hour and then tries to get his message across
with one long shot.
Not so all corporations. The Telephone Company
has it not everlastingly built good-will in these last
ten years?
Won't you be delighted when you can get back to
the old-time service rendered by this great and hu
manly understandable corporation?
And why have you such a feeling of friendly under
standing toward Mr. Vail's company?
