Synopsis
The Principle by George L. Dillman. This compact treatise argues that authority and responsibility must be united in every act, from personal decisions to national governance. Dillman defines The Principle as a natural law: every right act is in accord, every violation is wrong, and real power comes from having both the right to act and the means to perform, plus knowledge of when, where, and how to act. Through a series of practical examples—ranging from a railroad dispute and business organization to politics, law, and social life—the book contrasts responsible conduct with interference, shirking, and passing the buck. It outlines three 'don’ts': do not butt in, do not shirk, and do not let others butt into your affairs. The text also touches on education, discipline, organization, and the limits of man-made laws compared to natural laws, arguing that adherence to The Principle leads to solidity, efficiency, and justice. Illustrative anecdotes from Dillman's career as a railroad engineer and participant in early 20th-century public works—like the Panama Canal project—show how The Principle operates in practice.
