obligations. This represents a COM
paratively small part of their total
resources, indicating generally speak

Of the new Victory Liberty Loan.
The National City Bank tops the
list in respect to it's investment in
government obligations, holding &C.
cordng to the latest statement of it's
condition as of March a as submitted

Kaufman Sells Holdings
In Merchants National
Interests Identified With Royal
Bank of Canada Get
1920 Shares

Louis G. Kaufman, president of the
Chatham and Phenix National Bank,
has sold 1920 shares Of the capital
stock Of the Merchants National Bank
to Aldrcd & Co., Of "a Exchange
Place, and interests identified with the
Royal Bank Of Canada. Mr.. Kaufman's
holdings, which have par value Of
approximately $760,O00, we're acquired
in 1915 just prior to the time when
control of the Merchants National
passed to the present management.
j. E. Aldred said yesterday that Mr..
Kaufman's holdings have been dis
tributed among large number of indi-
viduals and firms as part of general
plan looking to the banks future.
"The policy pursued in this in
stance" he added, "was the same as
that put into effect at the time that
81 per cent of the capital stock, repre-
senting control of the institution, was
taken over by the same parties from a
syndicate which had originally acquired
the same.
at is proposed to increase the CAPT
tai stock of the bank from $2,O0O,0O
to S3,000,000 by offering additional
stock at par to the present sharehold-
ers to the extent of SO per cent of their
holdings, and at the same time the
par value of the shares is to be in
creased from $50 to $780,"

Flexible Fares for
Electric Railways
Are Advocated
Head of Southern Traction
System Declares Industry
Emerged From the War
in a State Of Bankruptcy

Americas electric railways emerged
from the war bankrupt, and either "a
cost of service system of regulating
fares" or municipal ownership is nee
essary to prevent further demoraliza-
tion, according to Philip H. Gadsden.
president of the Charleston Is. c.
Consolidated Railway and Light Com
pany. AS chairman of the Committee
of readjustment, Mr.. Gadsden yester-
~day made these assertions in SUBJ
mitting report to the American Elec-
trio Railway Association at it's mid
year meeting held in this city.
Hhe electric railway industry" he
sale, has come out of the war bank
rupt. The cumulative effect of con-
stantly rising prices and extraordinary
wage increases made effective by the
National War Labor Board, in conjunc-
ton with stationary revenues, limited
or clrcumscribed by unseientific fran
chlse or commission made rates-all
this caused the Federal government
to give serious consideration to the
electric railway problem as one of ma
tlonal Importance in this period of
readjustment.
The market value of the seventy-five
leading electric railway properties of
the United States, it was asserted in
the committee report, declined to the
extent of $250,OO0,00O, exclusive of
the lnterborough Rapid Transit stock.
whose market price, it was contended,
dropped $145,000,00O during the same
period.
The following lines of policy we're
recommended by the committee:
Flexible fares must be established
which will be automatically adjusted
to the cost of the service demanded
by and furnished to the communities
A necessary element of the cost of
service is such a return on the funds
employed as will attract capital. To
provide incentive to enterprise and in
ltlatlve, there must be an additional
reward for economical management
In the interest of the car rider, who
must ultimately pay the cost of local
transportation service, every special
impost and tax which cannot be justi-
fed upon the ground that it is pay
ment for benefit received should be
abolished.
That to secure satisfactory service
and to keep fares as low as possible
the public must act on the principle
of the greatest good for the greatest
number and cooperate with the operat-
ing companies in making effective
economies by the use of skip stops,
one man cars and the speeding up of
schedules by the regulation of vehicu-
lar traffic.

ment securities Of five to ten times
that amount per annum. 1t is true
that the purchase Of these securi-
ties may keep our own securities
from rising as they otherwise would.
But there is no other way. More
over, the securities will be paid for
ultimately, not in money but in
goods. 1t is folly to say, as has
been said, that such investment
would "force domestic imitation by
compelling as much or more re-
discount on Federal securities or
business paper as the. Federal Re-
serve" Such rediscounts would
not be backed by government pa
per but by commercial paper, bills
based on business transactions, such
as the $50,0OO,OOO acceptance
credit recently granted to Belgium.
Therefore, rediscounts will expand
and contract with the volume of
business. "Inflation," which means
an artificial increase in prices, does
not occur unless currency increases
faster than the volume of business;
that is to say, unless there is a
greater increase in currency than
in the quantity of goods and SER
vices. Unless the goods that Eu
rope sends us are as great as the
goods we send Europe we must,
if we want to maintain our export
trade, extend credits to Europe to
equal the difference. We cannot
transact the business by any finan-
cial sleight-of- hand.
