URGED TO LEASE LINES.

Special Counsel Walter l.. Fisher
presented a plan to the council sub.
committee on local transportation
which, he said, would give Chicago
the benefits of municipal ownership
and home rule over its transportation
lines.
A lease of the lines by the city is
his idea.
The elaborate construction pro-
gram for subways and new elevated
and surface lines outlined in the re.
Gently rejected trustee ordinance
would be made part of the proposed
measure. He added:
This arrangement would require
only a few changes in the recently
defeated ordinance, but they are i'm.
portant ones and are what the pub.
lie demands.
The plan provides for the city
taking over the lines, after they have
been consolidated, under lease
with an option to purchase them al
any time upon six months notice.
THE city would appoint board
of trustees to operate the lines al
service cost. The present security
holders would be guaranteed fair
return, while the city would dictate
the management and keep the cost
as low as possible,
This would help keep fares down
IF a lease to the city onn be
worked out, and | think II can, II
would remove many OF the objections
to the trustee plan, simplify the
whole problem, and unite all OF

revenues from the leased properties.

The committee indicated its ap

Only two legislative actions arr

the power to lease the lines and thu
other to authorize the surface anC

BUY FIFTH LIBERTY BONDS
AND BE SAFE.

About the saddest thing in che
world is to undergo self-denial for
years, to save money and then TO see
the rainy day fund" wiped out by
the failure of some wild cat" scheme.
This happens every day, widows
and Woodworking men are credulous.
They listen to the oily promises of
get rich quick" promoters and hand
over their savings to slick statesmen
with blue sky" securities promising
impossible profits.
And when the bolt falls out of the
clear sky the pitiful savings Of years
disappear in an instant. THE
Bonanza PATROL Co. has gone up. We
are ruined!" Then there Is nothing
to do but begin life all overland at
a time when earning capacity has be-
gun to ebb and the way is thornier
than ever before.
Whatever the temptation may have
been in the past to do this thing,
there is no excuse for II now. Hun
dreds OF thousands OF experienced
publicity and investment men have
been at work for nearly two years,
under the authority OF the American
Government, educating millions OF
people In the fine art OF safe invest.
ing. 1t is undoubtedly the fact that
more people are saving money today
than ever before in all the history of
the world. And more of the people
are interested in the proper handling
of their savings accumulations, Lit

SOLDIERS HOPE IS REALIZED

General De Maud'huy has been ap-
pointed governor of Metz. The choice
of General De Maud'huy rs governor
of the stronghold of Lorraine Is the
realization of lifelong hope. He was
born in the city which he is now to
rule and which his family left after
the debacle of 1870 refusing to ac-
cept the German yoke. From his child
hood it was the dream of De Maudhuy
to regain Metz for France.
When the great war started he
was low on the list of officers. BY the
end of August, 1914, he was merely In
command of reserve brigade at Di'
jon, behind battle line.
General De Maud'huy, however,
was possessed of one id!ea--to fight in
Lorraine. He succeeded in effecting
his transfer to another command and
fought in series of battles against
the army of the German crown prince,

HOMES FOR RETURNED SOLDIERS

Secretary of the Interior Franklin
X. Lanes great project for the recla-
nation of some 3O0,OO0,OO0 acres Of
arid. swamp and cut.over lands with
the view of furnishing work and homes
to returned soldiers was particularly
called to the attention Of congress by
President Wilson In his message. The
work will be under charge of the recla-
nation service, which Is one Of the
bureaus of the interior department.
This plan contemplates nothing
like charity to the soldier. The basic
idea Is just the opposite. Instead Of
destroying our enemies he Is to de.
velop our resources. He Is to do the
work of reclamation. He is to make
his own home. He Is to be cared for
and financed while doing this. He Is
to pay for the land under easy condi.
tions.
