THE TREASURY AND THE RAILROADS

President Wilson's plan of Communicating "o,No i"H
roads resembles that adopted in England. Existing laws Gov
cred the case in England when she declared war vi ueiman!
August 4, 1914, and the next day the rallroaus VI ne,ono
Wales and Scotland were taken over by tne oiiold OIL"
committee. To clarity the situation the BRUSH government
made an agreement with the railway companies ny "non
companies placed their entire organization In te hanuS VI so
military authorities and the government agreed % pay ue
companies amounts equal to their net incomes 1or 'e year
1913, the last calendar year of peace, which was a perioo u
business prosperity. Since then some minor quesuons reSaru-
ing interest on new capital and deferred maintenance charges
have been adjusted. Pooling of cars was not ordered unul tne
beginning of 1917.
Since the British government took over the railways small
increases have been made in freight rates, but passenger rates
have been advanced from time to time, and finally a general
increase of fifty per cent was ordered last year. These addl-
the increase in costs of operation under government control
and it has incurred deficits on that account amounting 10
thirty million dollars, which have been paid out of general
taxes. 1t is said that the government has not MADE su1lclent
allowances for moving troops and military supplies, wnlch is
much like the system of bookkeeping and estimating costs that
prevails in our p~ostofce department..
Similar results are anticipated in this country by expert
enced railroad executives. The total mileage taken over by
the British government is less than 10000 miles, as COM
pared with 100000 miles in the United States, and Director
General McAdoo's task is correspondingly greater. The
railroads should be made to pay their way without drawing
on the federal treasury and the way to avoid deficits is to
charge transportation rates that will cover the costs. In his
dual capacity of secretary of the treasury and director
general of railroads Mr.. McAdoo is in a position to keep the
hands of his railroads out of the vaults of the treasury-Ex-
change.

PEACE WOULD AID KAISER

Germany has put forward the Austrian foreign minister
as a stalking horse to test the entente allies will to fight for
victory. This offer of peace cannot be wholly ignored. I'll $
important because it is the first definite peace message that
has come from the central empires, but it does not disclose
terms that we and our allies can accept. 1t contains no guar
antees of permanent peace. On the contrary, such a peace
would make the kaiser overload of all the lands that lie be-
tween the North sea and the Persian gulf, with a positive gain
of territory in Poland which would be a German province NOM
inally ruled by a German puppet king.
Germany would be stronger than ever, while Russia would
become a defenseless newer of wood and drawer of water, cut
off from the outer world and doomed to serve the Hohenzol-
lrrns for generations to come. Such a peace would disrupt
tf2 British empire and insult Japan through the clause provid-
ing for the return of all German colonies and overseas pos
sessions without compensatory advantages. No doubt Austria
Hungary honestly desires a peace that would insure her hold
on Trent and TrentinO. The kaiser and his government are
the obstacles to peace, which must be removed by the German
people or the swords of his foes-Exchange.

LIBERTY BOND COUPONS

The interest coupons of Liberty Loan bonds are payable
at any federal reserve bank or subtreasury and at the treas
.ury department in Washington, and any national bank which
is a general depositary of government funds is required to cash
these coupons without charge.
1t is believed by the treasury department that no bank or
trust company which is a depositary of the proceeds of Lib
erty bonds or Treasury certificates of indebtedness will make
a charge for collecting the coupons, paying cash to the holder.
The service rendered by banking institutions in cashing these
interest coupons is a substantial one, but it is hoped that these
will perform the service without charge as a pa
triotic duty.

TWO BITS A DAY u

In Phoenix, Arizona, a movement has been inaugurated for
the formation of Two Bits a Day. clubs, the members of which
are to buy a quarters worth of Thrift Stamps every day. Three
men each took a hundred thrift cards, pasted one stamp on each
card and sold the entire lot before two blocks had been covered
1.-Two bits" is the old term, dating back to the early DAYS of
the country, for a quarter of a dollar, and is still used in the
south and west. Every patriotic American now wants ito do his
bit" the members of these clubs are carving ont this idea finely
in doing their two bits" every day. 1t is hoped that "Two Rts
a Day. clubs will be formed all over the country in the GREAT
war-savings campaign-Treasury Statement.

DO NOT KILL PRODUCTION

If America remains busy and prosperous the financial bur
den of the war will not crush the people. Business men are
asked to save money and lend it to the government, and the
same appeal is addressed to wage earners and all other classes.
They cannot do it if they do not make money. And the Cam
den Courier very pertinently says: "How manufacturers and
merchants can curtail or altogether suspend business, and at
the same time earn and save money to loan the government,
is something beyond the comprehension of the ordinary cii-
zen."
Thrift does not mean inaction. This country is bearing
the financial burdens of the war we'll because of healthy
business conditions. England is increasing her exports of
cotton goods and is permitting her breweries to add to their
output of beer in the midst of war. If our industrial life is
disorganized we shall be forced, after the war, to compete
with other countries under a hopeless handicap. Congress is
now taxing industry and wealth more heavily than any other
government. Let Americans make money and lend it to the
nation instead of drying up the we'll springs that pour out new
wealth.-Exchange.

OUR CREDIT AND OUR ARMY

We must realize that the governments credit is vital to
the success of the war; that it underlies every activity. 1t is a
sacred duty of every citizen, and it should be regarded as a
glorious privilege by every patriot to uphold the governments
credit with the same kind of self-sacrifice and nobility of soul
that our gallant sons exhibit when they die for us on the battle
fields of Europe. 1t is as imperative to sustain the govern
ment's credit as it is to sustain our armies, because our armies
can not be sustained unless the governments credit is always
above reproach.
