bonds today are ~unassailable and Mr..
Hill could well have added the eulogy
Of all such bonds have done for the
development Of the country, and for
the security of the investor, among
whom the widows and orphans are not
the least to be considered.
when the first mortgage railroad
bonds were first issued, notWithstand-
ing all they held of potential impor-
lance to the country, it was necessary
to allay doubts about them, simply
because they were new. Since then.
there have been issued hundreds of
millions of these bonds, and there al
SO have beer issued hundreds of mill
lions of bonds of another %sort-frst
mortgages against great Industrial
enterprises. Mr.. Hill deplored the
fact that in these days some issues of
railroad and Industrial bonds were
based not on tangible property at
reasonable valuations, but upon the
superstructures of equities, and in
tangible properties which might be
extinguished. Real bonds, first lien
bonds, have been true to their trust to
the. public and magic in their useful
ness to the nation. When we contem-

strength of and magnitude of Gibral-

the greater part of the railroad, in
dustrial and other enterprises of the
country are based.
'sWe are all agreed with Mr.. Hill
that the country has reached the
transition period, and I venture the
prediction, and shall give the reasons
for the prediction, that the new era
now opening in our national finance
will be based upon that form of secur-

DirigfhIe,H Weakness.

Chicago Journal: n weakness of
the dirigible in war has ESCAPED at
tention by those magazine experts
who furnish predigested m~isinforma-
ton to so many readers. To get lift
ing power, the gas bag of the dirigible
Is filled with hydrogen. This Is the
lightest substance known-and the
most infiammable. The slightest touch
of flame will cause an explosion tina
would send the airship to Kingdom

good, sized target. Every military
country in the world has been expert
menting with explosive bullets; mis-
siles which can be fired from a rife
and yet explode on ~encountering even
so slight a resistance as that offered
by the silk envelope of a balloon. 1t
Is probable that by this. time every
martial nation has secured such a
miniature shell. II so, a single bullet,
landing anywhere in a target 400 feet
long by 80 or 40 feet broad, would de
stroy an expensive airship with all it's
crew. The mastery of the sky rests
with the aeroplane. It is still a more
dangerous machine to ride thar the
Zeppelin. but that factor will not count
in peace. The aeroplane has a speed
which no other device can rival. II is

both of peace and war. but 1T can never
hope to take the place of It's agile

Cleveland, o., Dec. ia new era
has begun in urban development
throughout the United States, which
only can be checked by the discredit
of real bonds by such limitations as
James J. Hill recently denounced, said
S. w. Straus Of Chicago, in an opti-
mistic address to the Cleveland Real
Estate board. Only the darker half of
the truth vas told by Mr.. Hill in his
Chicago speech to the Investment
Bankers association, according to Mr..
Straus, who said:
= "Why did he not all to the truths
he uttered there, truths of still more
import, which he well might have add
ed? Why did he not throw the search
light into the future as well as reveal
the manipulations Of the past?
'It Is no doubt true that we have
reached a transition period, no doubt
true that. as a nation, we have in
financial. matters set forth on new
highways, broader than those blind al
legs against which he warned us. But
it is also true that our colors are fly
ing bravely, bands are playing quite
as inspiring ~quicksteps as, the nation
yet has heard"
In this optimistic vein Mr.. straus
continued: 8
saThat day is past when popularity
exists for the so-called bonds which
are based merely upon equities. Not
all, but many of the issues Of collateral
trust and debenture bonds were of
the sort by which the country, as Mr..
Hill has said, has become Waterlogged.
Before Mr.. Hill spoke SO frankly, the
country in general had learned often
by hard experiences, that there is a
world Of difference between bonds and
so-calied bonds, against which his
pungent criticism was directed.
stBut let us not forget that the ma
jor portion OF the bonds outstanding
are true to those virtues which have
made the same bonds so alluring
to those who would create a counter
felt. Originally, bonds were fraction
al portions of a first mortgage, and Ut
was by virtue of these first mortgages
and the bonds issued Hereunder, that
the railroads nave been built and de-
veloped the country, made agriculture

not of the great&capitalists, but of the
thrifty citizens of those communities
who are seeking security for their in
VestmentS and, at the same time a
rate Of interest which is in harmony

of the cost Of living is no small factor
in bringing due recognition to first
mortgage real estate bonds. Particu-
larly in western cities people can af-
ford to pay a rate Of 5 to 6 per cent
for building loans on we'll located city
property, n the device of dividing
big loans on a S~kyscraper into integral
parts Of 81, 900, Or $500, or even 800,
has done wonders in Chicago, and will
do even greater wonders in the years
to come in that city and other cities
throughout the land.
"The fire waste in the United States
owing to the failure to build in this
country as securely against the raw
ages of fire as they do in Europe, has
been estimated to be not less than
5000, 600, 900 a year. This, as you
know, is forcing the rebuilding OF
many structures, and will force the re-
building Of a still greater number OF
the buildings in III cities, to minimize
the fire hazard. The rebuilding must
be done and the problem is how to
finance it. From actual experiences
in Chicago Milwaukee, Pittsburgh
and some other cities, the answer is
the first mortgage real estate bond.
THE jewellers in flats may own d
part of the mortgage on that very
fiat; the tenant in the s~kyscraper may
w a fractional part of the huge
mortgage on that s~kyscraper and have
his capital earning a good, round rate
