Probably the most ambition single publication ever put out in an effort to inform the public at large on public question has just made it's appearance here in the form of substantial clothbound book of 453 pages entitled Banking Reform, written and edited by experts of recognized authority. The book is is sued by the national citizens league for the promotion of sound bank ing system, an organization with its headquarters in Chicago. which is working to bring about an improve ment in the banking and currency system of the country and it is put out as an incident in the campaign of education which this association is conducting in order to enable the people to pass intelligently on any plan of banking and currency re- form that may be put forward. As the membership of the league is scattered in every part of the coun- try and as the subject of monetary reform is one that is very little un- derStood it was felt necessary to pro duce and 10 place in the hands of each member a book that would cover every lIlttSC or the idllDnSnlp De tween the banks the public, and the government. As is pointed out by Professor J. Laurence Laughlin of the University of Chicago. who has had editorial charge of the publica- ton Of this work. the only way to enable the general public which is the great sufferer from the faults of the existing financial system to se- cure better one is by explaining to them the principles involved and their practical operation. The meth ods of informing the public have de- veloped to a remarkable extent since old Ben Franklin printed his crude brOadsides but it is doubtful if any effort quite as ambitious as the pres ent one ever has been undertaken heretofore. at least in connection with a subject generally considered so far removed from popular under standing as is the banking and cur Tency system of the country

NEW YORK HAS
 MANY MOTORS
Positively Startling Array of Figures has Recently Been Given to the Public Regarding the Gasoline Buggy.

NEW YORK. May 20.-What is re- garded as the most remarkable rec ord of travel by trolley. subway and elevated electrically operated cars ever achieved has just been made public here. It covers the whole, state of New York for the period of the last three years Perhaps the most striking feature of those which go tu make up the record is that which indicates that the chance of any passenger being killed is only one out of 26.5o0.000 TO what enormous pro portions this branch of travel has grown is shown by the fact that during the period in question more than 1000 GOO 900 car miles were run over the 4-00 miles of trolley track in the state, indicating in other words that nearly 1.000,000 car miles were made to every life lost by ac- cidcnt Nearly 5000 000. .000 passen- gers were carried during the three years of whom only l.114 were killed. This year it is estimated that the passenger total will come close to reaching the 2.500.00O .000 mark. or more than two hundred and fifty times the population of the whole country. The total car mileage il is expected will come close to the 400,- 00o.000 mile mark. equal to l6.O00 trips around the earth. or two round trips to the sun with enough left over to cover eighty trips to the moon. Of this total the city of Greater New York accounts for near ly one third the lines of the Inter borough system alone carrying well oyer looo00o passengers daily So rapidly is this figure growing that it seems likely that even the new sub ways if they are ever completed will not be adequate to relieve the con scstion which is now the chief fea- turc ot metroDolitan travel

owners of the 50,0O0 to 60,000 auto mobiles which it is estimated are operated within fifty miles of the New York city hall are expressing much satisfaction over the retention in the postoffice appropriation bill at finally passed by the house of the Shackelford amendment which pro- vides for the payment of tolls under graduated system by the govern ment for the use of public highways over which rural mails are carried. These tolls will run from $10 to $50 per mile per annum and should the proposal finally become d law it is estimated that throughout the whole country the sum thus, paid by Uncle sam would amount from $7.G00.0 000 to $16.0O0 900. As this revenue would be applied to road construction and maintenance. it is easy to under stand the cause of joy on the part of auto owners in this state, which with it's many rural routes would be certain to receive fat slice. In some other quarters. however. en- thusiasm is less marked

Details are gradually coming to light in connection with. the loss of the Titanic which under ordinary conditions would have aroused gen eral interest instead of being lost sight of in the tragedy. It has be- come known, for instance, that what has been described as the most clab- crate volume in the world was lost with the steamship. This volume was a specially decorated copy of Fitzgeralds translation of the "Rhu- baiyat of Omar Khayyam" which was recently sold in London for $2025 and was being sent to this country. That the price was an extremely low one is shown by the fact that the cost Of the binding alone was $25O0. The cover panel was set with 2S9 garnets, turquoises and olivines. The design was completed with a border repre- senting a conventional treatment of a vine inlaid in brown and green and set with 250 amethysts arranged so as to form punches of grapes.

It was divided into a number of sunken panels of Parisan design and shape, and these were filled with gold foliage and set with 19S turquoises. garnets and olivines. Inlaid in the

Another example of the manner in which Wall street figures even in mills in estimating the probable value Of securities which it desires to pur- chase was evidenced bv the bids made for the issue of S6j. 900. 00G of four and a quarter per cent city bonds which are now being distrib- uted. The average price secured by the city was 100.74. parcels of the bonds in varying sizes being award ed to 276 out of 36G bidders. The method of allotment is that of sat isfying the highest bid first, then the next highest. for whatever number of bonds are bid for, and so on until the entire lot is exhausted. As an indication of the close figuring which is done before submitting bids may be cited the case of J. P. Morgan x Co, who offered 100.49O7 for the en- tire issue which even involved frac- tions of mills This bid which prov cd to be about one quarter of one per cent lower than the average re- ceived by the city was not regarded as particularly close by experts. al though to the outsider it would seem to be. Last year the same firm missed securing the entire allotment of the S6O,OOO 900 bond issue by a figure falling below the average price by only seven cents on each thousand dollars. which is still regarded as something of q record in close fig uring. While the price secured this year by the city for it's bonds is very small fraction lower than that which last years issue brought, city officials seem to be pretty well sat isfied in view of the generally bear ish influence of an impending cleo ton

Office clerks Of Chicago The sou-

Al Christmas time the discovery was
made by the Postoilice Clerks Union,
when the members dubbed together
and purchased $500 pounds of con-
: tIonery. The dandy was of the
same grade as retails universally at
sixty cents per pound, but by buying
in large quantities, a wholesale price
of twcnty-seven cents per pound was
secured. This price Is less than the
retailer can purchase candy OF that
grade for in comparatively small
quantities say from twenty five
pounds and up. The supply was re-
tailed to the members Of the clerks
union for thirty-fNe cents per pound,
which nettod profit Of $2lS by the
venture.
And now the union is entering the
grocery and meat business. Hoed-
quarters have been established In the
Temple Court building near the main

has a membership Of 1900 but clerks

standard on Suhsidlaries.

There has been. a great deal OF criti-
cism as the result of the trading in
Standard oh subsidiaries. This criti-
cism is just.
Buyers of the stock have to. as a
rule, buy through specialists who
have the market absolutely in their
own hands except for the actions Of
certain insiders.
If the insiders mad the real good of
their shareholders at heart they
would have these stocks listed on the
New York curb and quoted there
daily. This would do away with GER
tain insiders milking the public out
of from to 10 points, and it would
also save the buyers and sellers two
or three additional points that are
reaped by the specialist.
In some instances tho specialist has
to call up an insider, who takes both
sides of the transaction selling the
stock TO one person and buying it from
another, making both coming and go
ing.
This Is all wrong. IL could be rem
edied by listing, and for the good of
the stockholders the big interests
should stop these outrageous ropber-
les of customers. With the stocks
listed such crafts could not be obtain
ed and there would be a market for
the stocks wnich would make trading
in them popular.
The Lehlsh Coal company will list
its stock because il recognizes the ex-
cel!ent market obtained through list
ing O. the curb market, and the Brit
ish- American Tobacco company.
which IS an English concern, will also
list as soon as IL can arrange for a
registrar and transfer agent in this
city. This is q delicate matter under
the English laws, but will be sur
mounted in time
Why should the Standard Oil peo-
pie not recognize the rishts Of their
stockholders to a legitimate market?
The trading. asst is conducted now,
does not make for popularity or either
the securities nor Of the heads OF the
different subsidiaries.
Messrs. Rockefeller. Pratt, etc, list
your subsidiaries and give the people
square deal--New York Curb.

OIL NEWS AND COMMENT

against the new company now in pro-
cess Of organization which is being
formed to take over the mleased part
Of the Usage AS he Usage has been
for a Ions time a menace to a better
price for oil, q Is TO be hoped that
some plan can be agreed upon az once
to explore this territory and demon
strate whether or not there is any oil
over there. II the formation Of this
comany is not satisfactory no doubt
oil men can easily agree on plan
that is, and it is to be hoped the OBJ
jectors will come fully prepared TO lay
down a plan absolutely iron clad
which viii meet the appreciation Of
each and every one of the oklahoma
producers, the secretary of the inter-
ior and the Usage Indians as well. The
opposition to the new company comes
from some very unexpected sources,
but no doubt tonight's meeting Will
bring out the real animus of the whole
thing.
The only people benefited by all
this strife and contention are the
Usage Indians themselves, as on ac-
count of the difficulty being expert
enced in getting acreage over there
the proposition looks very inviting.
when in reality there is mighty little
chance of finding as much oil as has
been produced in the Perryman pool
up to date, in the whole Unbiased por-
in ranges 8 and 8, 100 dry holes have
been drilled, and especially has the
territory adjacent to Pawhuska been
tested out. OF course a lot of oil may
be uncovered and here's hoping it will
be, but above all things let the Okla
homa oil men demonstrate that they
can get together on some feasible plan
which will be satisfactory to all con-
cerned.

The members Of the New York Curb
Market association have started new
society called the Truth club" the
idea Of which is to put a stop TO mis-
representation and lying.
The curb boys are surely doing fine
work and seem to be following in the
footsteps of our friend, Teddy Roose-
welt.
Telling the truth is all well and
good SO long as it is not overdone.
What would happen If one of our curb
boys, like billy" Charlie" or PER
cy' happened to be delayed in getting
home some dark night, and then wifey
would hand out that where have you
been?' and instead of giving up that
old, reliable excuse, very busy at the
office, dearie," the answer would be
something like this; "Oh, ! just ran
into some dear old college chums and
We hit up about all the high balls we
could find at the Belmont, the Astor
and the Knickerbocker."
What happy homes there would be
if all these curb boys told exactly what
they did. A fellow who would tell
nothing but the absolute truth we are
certain would never die a natural
death. If these curb brokers handed
out hunks OF solid truth only we as
sure them that in a very short time
they would be very lonesome.
Keep it up, boys; We are sure that
you mean well, but do not carry the
idea too far.--New York Curb.
