City Runs Pawn Shops.
There are no loan sharks in

OF all the savings In Germany are
either in municipal savings banks
or postal savings banks. The
cities themselves borrow some OF
this money to build houses and
to buy public utilities.
Germany discovered, as we
did, that railroads gave rebates,
but instead of trying to regulate
them, she determined under the
leadership of Bismarck, to own
them. The railroads of Ger
many are used to serve every one.
Passenger rates are lower than
In this country and more people
travel than do here.
Railroads Pay for Selves.
THE railroads have nearly
paid for themselves out of the
net earnings in the past 35
years. German states own iron
and coal mines, potash fields. for
ests and great agricultural es-
tates. 1t is the income from such
holdings that enables Germany
to bear war taxes easier than 9TH
er countries.
Everything is done to make
competition easy. If you want to
go into business in any one of
800 German cities, you can buy
from the city itself and on easy
terms land close to the railroads
and with the best possible facili-
ties.
Germany fights monopoly
through encouragement of compe-
tition rather than through our
American way of trying to put
men In Jail.
THE cities have carried own
ership farther even than the
States They not only own the
local utilities, but they build
houses for the poor. Tenements
that are models of convenience
and comfort can. be rented for as
low as $50 a year in Berlin"
