BANKS SPLENDID RECORD.

At the close of 1919 there were eight thou
sand national banks under supervision of the
comptroller of the currency. They had earned
a billion dollars that year from the money furn-
ished by nineteen million depositors. No failure
occurred involving the loss of dollar to any
of these nineteen million depositors Here is
an immense nucleus for national thrift. But
American industrial thrift demands something
more; it demands the safe investment of capital
in industries and it is the business of our
Legislators to make industrial investment safe
and profitable enough to attract the capital
needed. There is money in abundance, but
we need to use it wisely. For our own welfare
we must finance not only our own business but
for time share Of the business of the nations
that are our debtors

RAILROAD SECURITIES TABOO.

Review of Reviews: There Is not
a banker in America who would now
dare to bring out new issue of rail
road bonds on any liyable interest
terms, much less undertake to sell
railroad stock. For candy concerns,
motor companies, oil promotions,
moving picture combinations. tire
manufacturers, chain stores. clothing
enterprises, steel works, the public
has money by the hundreds of nil
lions, but 1t is not in the least will
ing to trust its dollars in our standard
railways All the effects OF high
costs Of production felt by the indus
trial concerns are felt by the rail
ways; but the industrial concerns are
selling their product at an advance
OF a hundred per cent. or more over
pre-War figures while the railroads
are held to less than one-third or
such an advance. AS Howard Elliott,
president Of the Northern Pacific,
recently put 1t: "A days pay. or a
unit quantity of any article of COM
merce, will purchase far more trans
portation, both freight and passen-
ger, today than ever before In the
history OF the. country" With still
higher prices for fuel facing them IN
1920, higher taxes and great expendi-
lures for equipment and maintenance
of way to catch up after the neglect
or the war period. the roads will col
lapse unless liberal and enlightened
treatment is soon forthcoming. and
this at time when the growth and
activity OF the country's trade will
make an unprecedented need for
transportation service.

Why Edas Are Scarce.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: Uncle Sans
weekly market report reveals the fact
that when 1919 ended there were &c.
1923. $50 dozens OF eggs in American
storage plants at the five principal
egg-selling centers. This is just twice
asn1any as were In storage Dec. 81,
1918.
Because there are SO many eggs
locked up there are fewer in the gro
Gerry store, and because there are
fewer at the store the housewife pays
more for the eggs she buys.
Figure 1t out for yourself. The
more eggs in storage, the less in
stores, and the higher the price.
