The old bandits were colorful
lounoticed the big
the world, of big capi-
►. the past couple of dec-
The personnel in the inner
10610441116 of high finance is just as
piratical as that the .robber
baron Sys,, bu things they
Wheel and deal in are vastly dif-
ferent,
The bad old boys, the Fords and
the Rockefellers, the J.P. Mor-
gans and the Andrew Carnegies,
were giants of finance and a pret-
ty unscrupulous lot, from all ac-
counts. '
They dealt with solid, tangible
assets: steel and coal, oil, min-
erals, railways and banks.
Their techniques were roughly
similar. Get hold of something as
cheaply as possible and dispose
of it for as Much as. possible. And
never -0# a. working man more
than the absolute minimum. A
simple formula, but it piled up
millions, then billions.
Today, their names are con-
nected with great philanthropies,
but when they were alive, their
names produced more curses
than blessings. They fought the
unions bitterly. They bribed and
bullied and .stole. ,.
They'd have . laughed at the
idea .that their depredations were
destroying the ecology. They'd .
have had `apoplexy if someone
had suggested something as ridi-
culous as fringe benefits.
It's probably jUst,as well they
have gone, though they were a
colorful lot of bandits,
Today's entrepreneurs seem to
be just as arrogant, greedy and
ruthless, but the things they deal
in have changed almost com-
pletely.
Banks and railways and air=
lines are Still. highly .profitable,
but they are no longer the fin-
ancial playthings of ,a few men.
, They have become exceedingly
dull, hug,h bureaucracies with lit-
tle Iife• or colour., in them.
' The newt breed of banditti
steers Blear of then:- Oh, your
modern. wheeler might take a
flurry in oil, but it's morelikely to
be floating a stock issue than get,-
ting
et;ting the stuff out of the ground.

TAY's floanehd Magnate is
far more interested in the half -
world of sports and entertain-
ment, than he is jU6t old things,
like mines and such.
He Still goes where the big buck
is, but the action has changed.
Nowadays, he's more likely to
own a prizefighter or a string of
horses than a chunk of a copper
mine.. Today'sbig money is in
publishing, radio and television
and sports.
And the really big honey's in
land speculation. Your- old-time
financier would have been stun-
ned pod envious, could he see the
doubling and tripling of money in
the buying.and selling of plain old
land.
So, it's in the areas mentioned
that ' you'll find the modern
sharks, in large schools, gobbling
up the little suckers and re-
gurgitating them for all the
slightly larger suckers.
Another big change 'is in the
publicity involved. The magnates
of yesteryear were very close-
mouthed. They kept their private
lives as secluded as possible, re-
treated to vast homes and tried to
keep the press of arms length.
Today's maggots (cops, ` a
Freudian slip) glory in the lime-
light, They are never happier
than when they have the media
speculating about their next deal.
They manipulate the press. After
' all, every story, every picture,
drives up the price of whatever
they're selling and is also great
for the ego. They'll call a press
conference 'to discuss a pending
operation for an in -grown toenail.
Even P. T. Barnum, the great-
est
reatest con man of them all, would be
green with jealousy if he could
see the way some of the modern
con artists use 'every trick he
ever knew and some they've in-
vented, to sucker people into
watching a third-rate sports
team, or a third-rate prize fight.
There's one other aspect of the
great scramble for the buck that
has 'changed drastically. That's
the relationship with the people
working for the big dealers.
In the bad old days, when lais-
sez-faire reigned supreme, it was
the accepted custom' to grind the
worker down and sweat the very
life=blood out,of him, to wring the
last cent of profit. • • •
Today the worm has turned,
particularly in sports. All you
need, if you'rea pretty good ath-
lete, is a good lawyer and you can
:put the boss through the wringer.
Can you imagine the look on the
face of J. P. Morgan if someone
could tell him that athletes, , mere
bodies, were pulling in salaries in
six figures?

Faith sets in motion forces
which flow, not away from

Prayer that is full of faith
sets these miracles in motion 1

This last aspect would seem to
be a matter for sheer joy for most
of us —watching the bosses being
squeezed by the workers.
But alas. It won't do us any
good, fellow sucker. The boss will
merely raise the price of admis-
sion and won't lose a nickel of his
own money.
Sounds like the government,
doesn't it. When everything coati ,
them more, they raise our tam.„
to pay for the increases. 'Whet*
everything costs us more, they
raise the taxes as a curb again
inflation.
Get in line, sucker, for the next
increase in the price of tickets,
Somehow, with all their faulta,
I like the old bandits better,
