LOCAL,FINANCIAL
and BUSINESS
GOSSIP

That the signing OF the Esch-Cum-
minis bill by President Wilson put in
operation one Of the most construc-
tive pieces OF legislation enacted by
Congress in many years was the
opinion expressed today by Richard
s. Halves. president OF the American
Bankers Association.
In discussing the details OF the act.
Mr.. Halves said: -The investment OF
power in the Interstate Commerce
Commission to establish and adjust
turn on the aggregate value OF the
railway property. In one OF the most
salient features Of the bill.
This fair return Is fixed for the
next two years at 5h per cent, with
privilege OF adding another II per
cent for improvements. This provision
alone is sufficient TO put the railroads
OF the country back on their feet. In
return for this profitable rate, the
Interstate Commerce Commission is
empowered to regulate and correct
the services given for such a rate. so
that the public. while paying more,
VIII be getting what has been lacking
for many years-adequate service.
This establishment OF a statutory
rate should tend TO restore almost
railroad credits, and enable them TO
make long needed betterments."
He pointed out that the power OF
the commission to regulate and con-
troll railroad stocks and bonds should
clear the market OF question: bic
issues, and put the financing OF our
transportation systems on a much
higher level.
Harry v. Haynes, president OF the
Farmers and Mechanics National
Bank OF Georgetown. was elected
secretary of the District OF Column
bia Bankers Association at a meet
ing last night at the willard Hotel.
Mr.. Haynes. who succeeds Eugene

affairs OF the association for many
years. and is a past president OF the
local chapter of the American Insti-
tute of Banking.
Members OF the association. by a
rising vote of thanks. expressed their
appreciation of the services rem
