As Meesssary as light aad Air la Hos
pitals. The startling dlaclnsuren of corporals
mismanagement In tho last ten years
have brought about a gnneral fnnlliu;
that publicity of corporation affairs Is
botli neceasmy and dealrable for tho
future well-being of all corporations.
This publicity may bo ailected In many
ways and should give, the public as well
aa the stoekholUeib ucli lulormntinn na
will eliminate all ' pom hla chance for
corruption and mismanagement.
In the piimt, niRnapera of Rome cor
pora Hons have operated their business
in a more or less arrogant faahlon, per
sistently refuaing to majie their acts
known to the publlo or even to their
ntockholdors. In most lii'tancea if these
operations had been made public at tha
time, mmiy of the Ills from whlrh they
are now suffering would not have oe
curred, and million of dollars of in
Vestment woulo" have been saved.
The effect f corporate mlnmanage
tnent Is greatl; magullled, however, when
lt discovery oinra too late by govern
mental Invcstla itton. Generally apeak
In. If the facta were voluntarily mada
rubllc, or If thoy were made known
hrough eatubllshed methods of publlo
tty, tn the regular course of business,
the mismanagement of the corporation
would never occur or it could ba remed
ied Immediately and the bad effect of
It would be comparatively small.
And so It In with many houses of
business In the field of commerce and
manufacture. They are afraid of pub
licity afraid to have their factories eg
amlned and to let purchasers verify
statements or facts concerning tha'
gooda. The only conclusion to be
reached In such rase la that the manu
facturer hits something to conceal,
which. If discovered, would not bear
out hla assertions.
Publicity In relation to all business
matters la the best cure for their evils.
Just aa light and air kill the germs of
disease.
