sponsibility, so that the President of
the railroad company was placed in
lirect charge of the operating depart
ment while the Chairman of the board
paid exclusive heed to the financing
and to the working out Of important
plans was looked uponas an econo-
mic necessity. That is believed to be
especially true of the St. Paul Rail-
road Company and also the Chicago
and Northwestern.
In many Of the banks the custom
has prevailed for some years of split
ting the responsibility, which in early
years was exclusively upon the shoul
ders Of the President of the bank.
But 1t has always been assumed that
when one who had been President of
the bank resigned to become Chair
man of the board it was with intent
to tighten his duties and in some
cases to serve as preteXt for pen
sioning him when he reached adj
vanced years.
When A. c. Bedford resigned the
Presidency Of the Standard Oil Com
pany Of New Jersey and was sue
ceeded in that Office by Walter Clark
Teagle, it was the understanding that
President Teagle was to be exclusive
ly occupied with the operating and
executive duties appertaining to the
Office so that Mr.. Bedford, as Chair
man of the board, could concern him
self chiefly with important financial
plans and with other plans which had
for their purpose the strengthening of
the organization.
Possibly Secretary McAdoo may
have entertained feeling with re-
spect to some of the railroad manag
ers which was laconically expressed
by the late A. B. Stickney, the creator
of the Chicago and Great Western
Railroad system. Mr.. Stickney was
called into the conference at Fifth
avenue hotel to meet the representa-
tives of the larger railways Of the
United States. The purpose Of the
conference was to perfect the social
ed "gentleman's agreement, term
which became widely known after a
while.
Mr.. Stickney was peculiar in this
respect namely that he required time
study in the seclusion of his Office any
proposition. He could not pass judg-
ment when in the midst of a COM
pany Of railroad officers. For that
reason he declined to sign the gen.
tleman's agreement, saying he wanted
time to study it. Thereupon Mr. Nor
gan, Mr.. Vanderbilt and others CEN
sured him, asking him if he had no
confidence in the gentlemen. In reply
Mr.. Stickney said "as individuals
would trust every one of you without
bond, but as railroad men l would
not trust single one unless had
ample security"

NINE BILLIONS COST OF WAR TO
UNITED STATES FOR YEAR

Washington-Nine billion dollars is
the approximate cost to the United
States of one year of war.
More than one half has gone in
loans to allies and will be repaid
eventually; more than one third has
been spent for the army and military
establishment; one tenth for the navy,
and one fifteenth for shipbuilding.
Just one sixth of this big war cost
has been raised by taxation and other
ordinary sources Of revenue, and the
balance has come from sale of liberty
bonds and certificates of Indebtedness.
Enormous as these war exepndi-
lures may seem to a country whose
government in peace times costs be-
tween s7OO,OOO,OOO and 100000, 900,
they are less than Great Britain's and
are only about two thirds of esti-
mates made by officials less than q
year ago. Slow progress of the ship
building program and the retarding
of the outpouring of war supplies are
regarded by officials as the chief rea-
sons why expenses did not equal es-
Inmates.
Government expenses now are run
ming about a billion dollars a month,
with somewhat less than half going to
allies. who spend the greater part Of
their leans for war supplies In this
country.

American soldiers who go forth to
risk their lives have right to expect
of Americans at home a support that
is simon-Dure 100 per cent, untainted
and untinged. They have a right to
feel the one thought here at home is
the same that spurs them on a
thought which fixes itself upon the
winning of this war and leaves room
for no other.
They have right to expect IF
Americans'at home that they will lose
no time, in stamping out every form
of enemy activity and of enemy pro-
paganda designed to hamper this ma
ton and its fighting men. They have
a right to expect that no longer will

heretofore been relied upon for funds
with which to pay for the construction
Of large buildings, are now abstain
ing from making loans of that kind.
They are not calling in loans. They
are protecting those who in the past
have had dealings with them. But the
management shakes its head when ap-
plications are made for loans by those
who have in contemplation the con-
struction of large buildings.
The result is that building con-
struction upon large scale in Great
er New York while, probably on &C
count Of the war, there is coming
weekly into New York large popu-
lation, and this is making an unusu-
al, even unprecedented, demand for
apartment rents.
In obedience to the law Of demand
and supply many of the owners of
apartment houses have felt justified
in increasing the rents charged here
tofore for apartments. Therefore, the
population is to some extent being
driven into the suburbs, reaching far
into New Jersey, also to the north Of
New York City and into Connecticut
as far east as Bridgeport.
Bridegport's population has in
creased 100 per cent since the war be-
gan, so that the city workers and 9TH
ers who have secure employment in
the great factories in Bridgeport are
spreading out here and there up and
down the Connecticut line trying to
secure homes so situated that they
can conveniently commute upon the
railroads between their homes and
Bridgeport.
Late in the fall there was suspen-
sion Of some large building operations
in New York, due entirely to the in
ability to secure structural steel The
collosal hotel which the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company is building across
the street from its station in New
York was put back several months
because the steel could not be fur
nished. Now the steel is coming in,
so that this structure is rapidly ap.
preaching completion as also is the
even greater hotel to be called the
Commodore, which the New York
Central Railroad is putting up adjac-
ent to the Grand Central terminal.
Work upon these structures will
not be jnterferred with on account of
the impossibility Of securing loans.
The railroad companies are financing
with their own funds the heavy cost
which this construction entails.
There is to be one advantage, pos
sibly, in the curtailment of great
building operations in New York
City aind elsewhere. for by this means
labor in considerable numbers will be
released, os that the Government can
take advantage of this loan supply
opportunity.
