GERMANY TAKES OVER
ALL TRANSPORTATION
FINANCING OF PLAN Is MAIN
TASK OF THE NEW
MINISTRY

BERLIN. Nov. 1.-THE new trans
portation ministry, under Minister
Bell, went into effect October 1, and
not later than April l.. 1921, all
railroads, rivers, land and water
transportation of Germany, will be
combined under government con
troll. Minister Bell will have charge
of every detail and feature Of the
complicated system except the posts.
The chief task of the ministry
will be the financial settlement,
concerning the basic capital in
vested of 10000. 100000 marks and
a personnel of about a pillion men.
How this shall be done will be de-
cided by committees composed of
members from all the individual
states that have hitherto had rail-
road systems,
The plan of campaign will be.
first, to settle financial matters SO
that each state gets its due share,
and then to rearrange and reform
the employees and officials SO they
will fit into the new national sys-
tenn.
The government has decided to
solve the employee question by di-
rect conference with employees or
CARNATIONS.
The matter of combining the
water connections with the railroads
so that there may be a maximum
of economy and efficiency in their
cooperation is still another prob.
lem to be solved.
Airship and automobile matters
will also be a part of the new
transportation ministry. The air
plane and automobile traffic have
hitherto been under a bureau for
air and motor transportation, but
this burea Twill be absorbed by the
transportation ministry.

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Oct. 81
For the first time during govern
ment tenure of the railroads the
director general of railroads has
made frank admission of the SER
ious state into which the properties
of the country's transportation sys-
tenn have fallen. In a letter to
Senator Cummins and Representa-
tive Esch, ehairmen respectively OF
the senate and house interstate
commerce committees, in which he
urges railroad legislation at the
earliest possible moment, he says:
Delay in legislation will ser
iously impair the public service by
virtually s~uspending improvements
and the acquisition of equipment and
by seriously imperiling the morale
of the railroad organization. The
difficulties l point out could not be
obviated by the government remain
ing in control of the RAILROADS. from
week to week pending adoption OF
the legislation"
Director General Hines goes on to
say that the vital need is for the
expenditure of large sums by the
railroads in acquiring new equip
ment and charging and construct
ing terminals, shops, engine houses,
turn tables, trackage and the like.
He remarks that just before 1918
this rehabilitation work by the rail
roads had been arrested by the diff
ficulty of securing materials. labor
and new capital; that in 1918 these
factors and the war requirements
prevented construction and that
during the calendar rear 1919
there has been unavoidably an al
most complete stoppage of all these
matters" In other words, equip
ment is still insufficient, tracks
themselves have not been adequately
renewed, and terminal and shop de-
velopment, needed to keep the trains
moving swiftly, has been delayed,
all this despite the fact that the
money actually spent out of revenue

chasing power. The most of new
capital has also risen"
a feature of the report by Mr..
Wilcox that is of general public
interest, deals with the ownership
of public service securities. Most
public utilities were originally es-
tablished and financed in the COM
munities served" he observes, "but
with expansion and large capital re-
quirements the local financial in
terests have often been superseded
by general public distribution of
securities. This is unfortunate.
The consumer is a better customer
and the community more alive to
the interests of the local public
utility il the securities of the utili-
ties are held in large part by the
public served. The customer who
is also a security owner, will find
his interest as an investor protected
by equitable rates, which upon re-
Election he will find that he can
well afford to pay as a consumer:

local banker who profits by pros

afford the effort to distribute among
his customers the securities of local

prosperity and growth of his COM
munity depend"
According to Mr.. w. H. Hodge.
whose report to the National Elec-
trio Light association is quoted by
Mr.. WILCOX, customer ownership
occupies the middle ground between
private ownership and operation as
we have see it in the past. . 1t
represents n OF these economic
compromises which seems to be
necessary from time to time in the
progress of civilization, which a.
first inspection seemed revolution
airy, but which soon became the &C
copied order"
To the layman, OF average citi<
zen," the Importance OF these con-
illusions is reflected in the attribute
existing in many communities. In
the case of customer ownership"
there is apparently a greater Oppor-
tunity to "sit down and talk things
over and a more favorable dispO-
sition toward 1.-THE right thing" than
frequently exists in instances where
the b~ondholders and stockholders
are unknown to the community.
1t is regrettable that the public
has shown a lot Of indifference to-
ward many of the utilities that are
trying to keep the wolf from the
door, and this is one OF the reasons
why Mr.. Willcox's report to the
investment bankers goes deeply into
the relations existing between in
vestors and the public. However.
he sounds a hopeful tone in the fol-
lowing observation: at Is safe to
say that the public conscience, I'M
less debauched by demagogues. will
approve fair compensation to the

AMERICAN PEOPLE BECOMING
BIG BUYERS OF SECURITIES

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 90
The fact that nearly seven million
subscribers bought bonds in the
fourth liberty loan indicates that
the inflated condition of national
currency has not been playing many
favorites. Likewise the report of
o. B. Wilcox, a prominent financier
Of New York, as chairman of the
public service securities committee
of the investment bankers ~associa-
ton of America, adds cumulative
evidence to the belief that most
people have spare dollars that they
are investing. He says that about
5000, 900 900 are invested in
public utilities, devoted to great
community needs. furnishing the
common requisites of business and
community life, particularly light,
heat, industrial power and local
transportation"
In the case of liberty bonds the
investors make a direct purchase.
but this system is not SO general
with the ordinary commercial Sc
curities. While there are number
less thousands of private investors
in public utility stocks and bonds,
the banks and financial institutions
of the country, almost without ex-
ception, are the big holders of the
securities represented in public utili-
ties. According to Mr.. Wilcox en-
dowment funds of churches, col
leges, schools. hospitals and nu-
merous other trust funds areM gen.
orally represented in public service
securities. He observes, therefore,
that "the integrity of these invest
ments is of direct or indirect conse-
quence to every citizen; and the
maintenance of the service and the
expansion of the time, and money,
and labor-saving devices of public
utilities is intellectually important
to every man or woman with an in
dustrial interest in the country.

The notion that the investments
Of the country represent idle wealth
is no longer borne out by facts. for
as the ratio of money to the Dopu-
lation of the country has increased,
SO has it become a habit and o ne
cessity for people to place their
nest-egg in some form OF security
that will be safe and at the same
time bring them a fair rate of in
