wild CAT SCHEMES
DEALT HARD BLOW
War Finance BiILto Govern
Securities Issues in Ex-
cess of 100000.

wild cat" investment schemes, bogus
gold mines and other forms of enter
prise designed to lure the furtive dollar
from the pockets of those avaricious
for suddenly acquired wealth will have
hard shedding if the pending war finance
corporation bill becomes law.
Licensed by the United States gov
-ernment" will be the possible boast of
great Investment enterprises in the fu-
ture. It will be regarded as hallmark
of reliability, or claimed as such, at
least. Under the pending bill no new
ef,terpfise or expansion of existing ones
capitaIixef In excess of 100000 will be
allowed to issue securities until licensed
to do so by the War Finance Corpora
tion. That body will license only un-
dertakings that are necessary to the
furtherance of the war or that do not
initiate against the governments finan-
cial operations in the money market.
To Control Expansion.
Under this proposed new law the War
Finance Corporation-that is to say, the
federal administration-willh have an alb
solutely controlling grip upon expansion
war. The object is to keep investing
moneys free and liquid. away from
being tied UP in non-essential efforts.
however profitable. and applicable for
investment either in expansion OF
plants for war purposes or for sub
scription to government, bond issues.
The provision of the bill as originally
drawn is brief but very emphatic. 1t is:
NO person, firm, corporation or as
sociation shall sell or offer for sale or
subscription any issue, or any part of
any issue, of securities hereafter issued,
the par or face value of which shall be
in excess of 100000, except in accord
ance with such rules and regulations
as the corporation. with approval Of
the Secretary of the Treasury, shall
prescribe, nor when required by such
rules and regulations, except as per-
mitted by licenses granted by the cor
poration."
Control Of Private Enterprises.
This is the most drastic and compre-
hensive effort at government control of
private enterprise ever undertaken in
this country. in the opinion of legis-
-lators who are working on perfecting
the bill, but the authority to apply it
is to be granted as an emergency of
the war.
Under an amendment proposed by the
Senate committee on finance, this vast
power of licensing is to be vested in
a committee of five men, chosen by the
Federal Reserve Board. including three
members of the board, to be known as
the capital issues committee of the
War Finance Corporation.

UTILITY: PROBLEM
Decision of President May
Settle Electric and Phone
Rate Increase Question.
0vERcoMEs OBJECTIONS

President Wilson's decision. supported
by recommendation Of Secretary McAdoo
to help public utilities throughout the
country that have been hard hit by wal
costs today was regarded as practical
ly certain Of changing the complexion
Of the problem facing. the District Pub
lie Utilities Commission as to whether
it shall permit higher rates to be
charged for gas and telephone service
in the National Capital
Although convinced by evidence sub
mitted that the Washington Gas Light
Company is operating at a loss. the
commission, 1t is understood, had ar.
rived at the conclusion that it is with
out authority to extend relief until the
valuation 1t established for the com.
pany has been acquiesced In by the
company or upheld by a court decision
But for the fact that the company
has appealed from this valuation the
commission. it is stated. would favor
an increase in the present 75-cent ga:
rate established by Congress.
Evening star., 1918-02-22
Situation Changed Overnight.

There is manifested in local business
inclination to the view that whatever
the commission may tentatively have
decided as to it's right to change gas
rates in view of the legal technicalities
involved. the situation has been
changed overnight.
The significant statement of the
President that Il hope that state and
local authorities where they have not
already done SO will. when the facts
are properly laid before them. respond
properly to the necessities Of the sit
uation.' generally was regarded as the
entering wedge in the situation that
would result, at least, in reconsidera-
angle.
Will Overcome Objections.
The theory was advanced by many
today that, IL the administration re-
CARDS the extending Of relief to public
utilities as a war measure in the in
terest Of the nation. this consideration
will be sufficient to overcome any OBJ.
lection such as the one confronting the
District commission, where 1t appears
there may be a doubt as to the com.
missions legal right to act.
How far this policy may operate II
the case OF inc teiephohc Co"pany y
tproblematical. for the reason that al
evidence in this case is not in and tht
commission is not yet In a position t.
determine what relief. II any. should b.
afforded. 1t is expected, however. tina,
the taking Of testimony bearing on tn.
telephone company's application for au.
thority to abolish nat rates and in.
crease the charges for certain othel
schedules will be concluded Saturday
There is a possibility that the gas de.
cision may be announced next week
but verdict as to telephone rate.
hardly can be reached, it is believed
under ten days or two weeks.

had decided to change it shortly before
July, 1914.
Among the reasons for deciding upon
the modification were the facts that
the old Enfield did not use a rimless
cartridge such as the United States
standard cartridge, which is much more
powerful and therefore has a better
range than other types of cartridges:
that it is necessary that the military
rife and the machine gun shall use the
same cartridges, and rim cartridges
have tendency to jam in extraction
during rapid action; and, most i'm
portant of all. that the three companies
making the British Enfield were not
turning out standardized parts, and
therefore the parts. of rifles made by
different companies were not inter-
changeable.

BUILDING MORALE
OF jewish TROOPS
Work OF Jewish Welfare Board Pro-
ducing Splendid Results In
Camps and Trenches

No more effective work toward
maintaining the highest morale among
the American troops has been done
BY any war organization than by the
Jewish Welfare Board, which is en-
gagged in its task of keeping up the
lines of communication between the
Jewish men in the trenches and
training camps and the folks back
home.
Believing that in the strr~g'e OF
morale against "kultur' the 4 'aTican
army has every advantage tat will
insure success, the Jewish organiza-
ton is making it's chief issue the
stiffening Of mental and moral fibre
among the soldiers of the Hebrew
faith. The call for workers is urgent
and rabbis, professional men, journal
lists, social workers and others are
entering the service Of the Jewish
Welfare Board to make up the 400
workers needed to fill the ranks.
