BETTER Late Than Never.

Considerable criticism was heard yes
terday in brokerage circles when it was
reported that three Stock Exchange
houses had been reprimanded by the
Stock Exchange for exceeding loan al
lowances fixed by the money committee.
While the report did not state clearly
where the action was instituted 1t was
believed generally that the money com
mittee itself was responsible. And 1t
was on this that the criticism was
founded. 1t was pointed out that since
restrictions have been so rigid mem
bers of the exchange have made daily
reports OF borrowings. and IL there had
been tendency to exceed the limit by
some houses II should have been APP
parent to the committee and stopped
Therefore, declare those VINO have taken
exception to the reprimand. the commit
tee has placed itself in the position or

place, and then calling down the houses

The Rail Rally.

Tho rail stocks were regarded with
improved favor yesterday following re-
ports that at last n constructive plan
for remedial legislation is about TO be
rresented to Congress. There have been
banded to the Senate committee no less
than fourteen plans, all Of which pos
sessed some favorable features, but In
many cases TIE advantages seemed to be
outweighed by proposals that would not
PASS muster. 1t Is understood that the
last plan to be presented contains most
OF the best features hitherto published.
and in addition contains constructive
clauses that meet with approval OF state
commissions. and would ensure to rail-
road security owners fair returns OF
their holdings. The number OF legisla-
tive days left to the present Congress Is
extremely limited and many vital meas
ures remain for consideration. and the
best now hoped for is killing the pro-
posal to extend Federal control for five
years, as well as check the Government
ownership propaganda.

An interesting point in connection with
the heavy expenditures of the INTERIOR

President Shonts declared that tho pre-
war average ratio of operating expenses
to total income was 40 per cent. Since
the war began II rose to 65 per cent,
he declared, and during December. 1918,
was down again TO 81 per cent, which,
he said, was the lowest possible point
under present conditions. Another ques-
