WAR STAMPS AND LIBERTY
BONDS.

Another Liberty Bond drive Is al.
most upon us. II will be pushed with
energy hitherto unheard Of by the
magnificent organizations which have
been built up and perfected through
two previous drives. II will meet with
the response 1t deserves from the
American people, and will be followed
by yet other drives as the war goes
on.
But the War Savings campaign-not
drive-we have with us throughout the
year. The War Savings campaign is
in no sense a rival of the Liberty Bond
drive. In fact, 1t is partner-not a
junior partner-but full partner. The
amount to be raised through the sale
OF War Savings Stamps equals the
amount of the first Liberty Loan. The
man who has bought Liberty Bonds Is
not thereby excused from aiding In
the War Savings campaign. and the
man, woman or child who has bought
War Savings Stamps, and is continu-
ing to buy them, Is not thereby ex-
cused from purchasing Liberty Bonds
If he or she can, In any way, raise the
money.
The United States Government, In
its short. intensive bond drive, wants
the people to invest whatever money
they can raise, from any source what.
ever, their capital and accumulated
savings. in the larger national securi.
ties. But throughout the year, the
Government also asks the people-all
the people--to save what they can
every week, every day and invest the
day by day savings in War Savings
Stamps. Such saving, methodically
and persistently carried out, alone car
make a people thrifty, Such savings
create new capital on which the ma
ton can do its business OF making
war, Such saving releases raw mate
rails, factories and workers for the
service of the Government. The pur
pose OF the War Savings campaign Is
to raise money, but 1t is more than
that and the baby bonds" must no,
be lost sight of while the drive for the
bigger bonds is In progress

and member of the Liberty Loan for.
eign language division, representing
the swedish section. in addressing the
Scandinavian patriotic rally at Orches
ira Hall.
Every American of Scandinavian
birth or descent should get behind the
government in the next Liberty Loan
campaign. not only by buying bonds,
but by volunteering his service in the
campaign.
Uncle Sam expects 100000
Americans to buy bonds of the next
issue. II each of these purchasers
takes a $50 bond, It would result in
the sale of 75O,OOO,OOO worth. To
handle a $4,000. 900, 900 issue 1t means

worth is a Stacker"

ILLINOIS PUBLIC UTILITIES.

\ compilation OF the annual reports
OF ninety.three of the principal cor.
porations for the year ended Dec. 81
shows aggregate net earnings of s207,.
1890, as compared to $780,, ,42O in
the previous year.
The improvement in the average
and the aggregate is largely due to
the fact that state and municipal
boards having the power of rate regu.
lation have adopted a new policy to-
ward the utilities and recognize the
fact that the welfare of the nation at
war depends in a large measure on
the good credit and operating eff
cheney of public utilities.
The net earnings cited are after
excess profits and income taxes have
been charged on Dividends in the
average are no higher than in 1915.
The excess OF earnings has gone into
extensions and improvements to add
10 the equity behind securities.
4 majority of the rate increases
granted came too late in the year TO
be fully reflected in 1917 earnings, The
IIb-p tNA 4bl 1910 - tliOuI w
investors The federal government is
taking an active interest in the utility
situation and the attention OF state
and municipal ratemaking bodies has
been called 10 the statement of the
president, which concluded:
1t Il estimated that the utilities
should be maintained at their maxi
mum efficiency and that everything
reasonably possible should be done
with that end in view, / hope that
state and local authorities, where they
have not already done so, will, when
the facts are properly laid before
them, respond promptly to the neces-
stiles OF the situation"
II is alleged that the case OF the
Peoples Gas Company illustrates the
governments attitude. The attention
OF the treasury department was called
to the alleged need OF the gas com.

NAMED TO REBUILD BELGIUM

Belgium, with her country Overrun
by the enemy, Is preparing to surprise
the world by the restoration on II
scale never before conceived of what
has been destroyed during the war.
Tangible evidence of what may be
looked forward to In Belgium as II GER
tainty Is to be found In the recent crea-
ton of the ministry of reconstruction
in that country. Fully as significant as
the creation of the office Is the per-
sonality of the man who has taken the
new portfolio. The prime minister him
self, Baron de Broquevile, Is the min
lister of national reconstruction, and he
has plan, or group of plans, for the
social and industrial rehabilitation of
the people of his country that would
do credit to the most hard-headed and
practical welfare idealists of Amer
lea.
