Another Opportunity to Boost
WashinstQns Claims.
SUPPORT TO BE ENLISTED

Washington bankers are given another
opportunity To put in a good word for

partment in sending out blanks on which

the local national banks and the Munssy
and Continental Trust Companies. which
also will enter the system.
Two blank ballots on forms were sent
to each bank. On one the bank is asked
to list from eight to twelve cities which.
in the opinion Of the banks officials
would be proper locations for the re-
serve banks. The other is for the names
of the three cities. in the order of pre-
ference. where a reserve institution would
best serve the needs OF the voting bank.
Under the law from eight TO twelve
reserve banks may be established. and
II is evident that the Organization Com
mittee is seeking advice as to the num-
ber as well as to the locations.
These ballots may be returned by any
high official of the bank or by the direc-
tors after formal action is taken. II
must be indicated whether the action is
taken informally or by vote.
1t is understood that ten regions. or
districts, will be established. With twelve
banks as a limit. II is said. the committee
feels that IT will have an opportunity
after trial to increase the number, il so
desired
President Ciapham. of the lscal COM
mittee. will notify banks out OF the city

sure and vote in order that the Reserve

RAILROADS in FRANCE
SHOW INCREASED. LOSS
Government Ownership in European
Country Has Resulted in Steadily
Growing Deficits.
OUR MILEAGE FlFTYFOLD

A significant commentary on govern
ment ownership and operation Of rail-
roads is found in the figures presented in
a compilation by the Paris Temps as to
the financial showing OF French national
roads in 1913. These figures reveal a loss
Of sl6,6oo,Ooo in net from operations and
an outlay of nearly s+.O0oooo for extra
ordinary expenses, says Financial Amer
lea.
Operation Of the two State systems, the
old and the Western, comprising together
only about $500 miles. has resulted in
steadily growing deficits In 1903, the
operating deficit was $50 900: in 1910
$1l aoo 600; in 1911. si3, 800 900: in 1872, s14,-
10000. and in 1918. sl6,soo.0oO.
These figures represently only partially
the burden of state railroad operation on
French national finances. For to the
operating deficits extending over a period
of years must be added extraordinary
appropriations for betterments. mate
rails, &C. From 1909 to 1872. for instance.
the government paid to meet these needs
the sum of SIS 200 900 for the old State
railway and the sum Of SIG, 6oo,o 600 for the
Western. In 1913. the payments aggre-
gated IS, 400o 900 to the former and S25 100 .
900. The total of these payments then,
from lU9 to ly13 inclusive was Sl3S, 500 600
OF this amount. 600 was covered
through the issuance of per cent bonds.
the remainder. s61, ,40o. 900. was advanced
from state funds
Furthermore. there was no return on
these appropriations for a part of the
period involved: part Of the time only
2 1-2 per cent was raid. aRdEthe interest
and sinking fund of the funded debt of
the state railways cost "a per cent a
year.
There has been an effort in radical Do
litical circles in France to place upon
military expenditures the responsibility
for the governments financial difficulties

ped out. From start to finish. their
plans were badly shattered, how
ever, with the exception OF the
trip from Jerome Junction to this
city. No sign boards were met
with at certain points in the north
and they went into the country
along cow roads. Vt other places
they took pot luck and were ma
rooned in washcd-out gulches. Case
line power proved inadequate and
the quintet rcsorted to their mus

casions. The return trip is to be
made on the train. and the car will
be shipped by freight.
