1t was pointed out in investment
circles yesterday that the Northern
racine in putting into effect its novel
plan was not only Offering its bond
holders an attractive exchange privi-
iege, but was also placing itself in a
position where it could retire q sub
stantial block of its funded debt or
else hold the bonds in its treasury to
be use as collateral for future financ-
ing.
Holders of the railroad company's
bonds are also offered the opportunity
OF exchanging & taxable security for

New Commission Rates
On Bond Transactions

New commission rates On bond trans
actions on the Stock Exchange proposed
by the committee on constitution pro-
vide fer an upward readjustment Of
charges to the public. The committee
proposes that the higher commission
shall be made a part of the constitu-
ton in the form of an amendment
The amendment will be voted upon by
the governing committee within a few
days, and later by the members of the
exchange as q body.
1t Is proposed that the commission
on bonds shall be SIS per $4,000 par
value instead of $3.50. On government
bonds, which have heretofore been
practically exempt from commission
charges, the commission is to be Sc. 25
per $4,000 par value. On business for
members of the exchange, when a prin-
clpai is given up, the commission is to
be not less than 1915 per $4,000 par
value. On business for members OF
the exchange when a principal is not
! given up the commission is to be not
less than So per $4,000 par value
The new commission rates proposed
for bond transactions are understood
to have been recommended for the
purpose of bringing these charges up
to the average level of the new com
missions on stock sales, which became
effective in May. 1919 These increases
ranged from 20 to so per cent over the
, rates which had been in force for
wears.

GOVERNORS URGE
 SOLDIERS TO COME. TO WESTERN FARMS
Gov. Davis of Idaho Says It is Best Solution of Many Ameri-
 can Problems Va

NEW YORK, March 29.-Goy. D. w. Davis of Idaho, has very strong ly endorsed the plan to encourage the returned soldiers to come to the West and go into farming. In a letter to w. M. Larkin, who has charge of the Knights of Columbus plan to aid soldiers to get public lands in the West, Gov. Davis says:
 The principle back of the plan is broad and constructive one. It means more to young men to have this idea advanced than anything know of. Not only will the soldier on the land decrease the cost of liv- ing, but he will make a splendid competency for himself. The cen ter of population is moving East ward instead of Westward where the lands are. l wish it were in my power to sound call of warning all over the country that would bring the young soldier to the soil, fer there he will be happy while the great majority sink into poverty in the city"
 The Governors of Nevada, Utah, Oregon and Colorado have also en- dorsed the plan.
