Osaka, Dec. 2S.--Another point of
similarity between japan and the
United States is the active debate in
the municipalities OF both countries
over the question of whether the
street railways shall be publicly or
privately owned and operated
There are at yet. built and build
ing, less than 25O miles of street rail-
road i'm japan, but these have proved
Of such obvious benefit that a rapid
extension of their use is certain.
The laws against stock watering
arc so vigorously enfol eed and the
reports of earnings are so explicitly
eNacted that the actual profits on the
capital invested are a matter of pub
lie information, being published in
the financial reports These profits
are, I'm this infant stage of the un-
dertakings so large that the public
franchise hunter is keen for street
railway charters. while those who are
concerned about the public revenues
see I'm this a new and growing source
of revenue.
Osaka Is the Pittsburg and Lowell
of Japan Here are the chief iron
industries and the largest cotton
mills. Three decades ago 1t was a
small town. Ii now numbers 1000,
coo. But as yet there are no street
railroads here.
The city government obtained a
charter to build two such roads, but
after advancing way, construction
on these lines had to be suspended
for lack of funds. What with the
demands for money In many other
directions, and the danger of in
creasing the already heavy burden
of taxes arising out of the war. the
question of how to proceed has be-
come serious

Plead for Mortgages

Complaint was made to the imper-
ial government that railroad develop
ment was hampered by this restric-
ton, and In March of last year ~"
diet granted permission To r.ortgag",
but only with the consent oI the min
lister of home affairs.
The nscl.c nnnple ~ favor of pro-
Ceeding with the construction of the
municipal tramway got up a petition
TO the minister of home affairs ask
ing his sanction of a mortgage bond.
Two-thirds of the road lad been
built. so that u mortgage on this
should raise ample money to com
plete construction. But he seemed
reluctant To give his consent-why,
does not appear clear.
1t is matter of fact, however,
that just at this juucture what might
be called the Widerer 4 Elkins street
railroad combination of Tokyo, which
own the consolidated tramway lines
i'm the capital city, have come To
Osaka and applied FOR a charter to
build tramway system. They ar
que that Osaka needs trans, that
il has not the money TO build them,
and that they have ample money and
experience.

But it is likely to lead and has i'm
large proportion OF cases led to
stock watering and loose manage
ment of enterprises. The Japanese
leading men tried seriously to avoiu
this danger by refusing TO allow the
mortgaging of railroet. enterprises.
In their general railroad laws the
only kind of bonds permitted were
debentures, which mortgaged the
profits Yet II the profits should
amount to little or nothing, this
must be IA poor kind of bond. In
deed, Japanese enterprises were so
new that neither domestic nor for
eign capital was to be as easily
tempted to invest i'm Japanese deben-
ture bonds as I'm bonds elsewhere
that mortgaged the right title and
interest I'm all the tangible property.

He said he was not the least disturbed

he expected to enjoy good nights sleep.
From defiance his attitude has changed
to stoicism. Last night he seemed as
little concerned about the events of today
as thought It were only one of the other

special significance to him.
The day of his death ends on the 2Srd
