At least two more issues OF bonds
may be expected, 1t was stated by
Secretary McAdoo yesterday. who is
now estimating the amount of taxes
that Will be Immediately required, for
the information of the Finance and
the Ways and Means committees.
The Secretary, while not stating any
amount, gave no intimation that 1t
would be possible materially to reduce
the amount to be raised by the pend.
ing revenue bill by more than that al
ready pared off by the Senate commit
tee. which is estimated at more than
a billion dollars from the eight billion
calculated to be raised by the House
bill.
The amount to be raised by the two
bond issues is estimated at s9,OO0, 600 :
600. and both will come before the
first Of next July.
Must Finance Allies.
Mr.. McAdoo is not at all certain
what the finances of the government
will require chiefly because of the
chaotic state of finances abroad.
Continued loans to the allies are
anu lHtSe are COH-
templated in connection with the
two coming loans.
Loans to South American coun-
tries other than Argentine and Chile
are also expected to be necessary, If
this country expects to do business
with them. he pointed out. The two
countries named have plenty of
money! but the others are not SO
fortunate, making financial assist
ance from the United States desir-
able. If trade is to ensue.
These loans may be made by the
War Finance Corporation, which
body is to continue in existence for
some time, he said. The Capital Is

I'm our opinion 1t is desirable
that State commissions should possess,

they have exercised under private

The report also gives the first in
timation that the owners of railway
securities are preparing to take ac'
ton. The report says: THE al

securities are formulating. for tht

The committee also recommended
that all problems of street railway:
should be solved by State or muni'
cipal bodies and should not be con-
sidered by a Federal organization. Il
was also recommended that all rates
for telegraph and telephone companie:
should be regulated by the State
