There are $4,000 country bankers in

income. hence the great majority were
favorable to the Kitchin bill, which
had fair exchange charge for its
object.

do with the transfer of large reserves
from member banks to the regional
reserve institutions at once and would
also have provided a method to ad-

as already said, are in good shape;
spring, with it's natural stimulus, is
close at hand. and war, with its in

not be forgotten that peace is drawing
nearer each day, and the end of the
war is not far distant When that
longed-for event comes there will be
an end to many of the activities based
upon that set of conditions. Peace will
bring its offsets and an extensive de-
mand for reconstruction purposes, but
the reversal of such tremendous forces
or their cessation cannot but profound

Some lines of endeavor will quiet down

Advancing Freight Rates.

The expense to railroads OF the advanc-
ed wages which will result from COM
pliance with the Adamson law is being
used as an argument why rates should
be increased. The public it is said, will
in the end have to pay for this additional
burden by paying higher freight rates:
rates which must be high enough" one
writer says, Ito compensate the roads for
the higher wages they must pay"
This gives an idea that the roads were
all right before the bill was passed: that
rates were high enough to care for other
expenses, and that it is only for these ex
ira wages that the roads need to be retm
bursed.
This is altogether wrong. The roads
before the war, were not receiving rates
high enough to keep them out OF bank
ruptcy. Since the war many serious addi-
tions have been crowded upon the ex-
pense account. We referred last week to
the additional yearly expense of coal. add.
ing, it Is estimated. $3.50. 900 900 to the ag
gregate cost of railroadlng. This is two
