Warts are contagious, as is proved
by experiments on their own fingers
made by Drs. lido ]. Vile and Lyle

seem to have proved that warts
are caused by some sort Of virus that

THE SIX PERCENT. EARNING.

Francis II, Sisson. vice president OF
the Guaranty Trust Co. crietcizes the
Cummins railroad bill because OF the
limitation Of railroad earning power TO
six per cent. on this subject Mr.. SIS
son says:
l"Adcauatc transportation cannot he
obtained without credit: credit cannot
DO secured without fair earning power;
earning power cannot be sufficient WITH
out fair rates and just regulation.
New capital can be attracted only
upon the basis Of adequate earnings. and
6 per cent. with all the elements OF
risks incurred. 10 not an adequate max
imum."
The Intell!genccr Is inclined 70 be-
lievo that this IS the weak point Of the
Cummlns bill. Interest rates today and
for many years 70 como. are likely 10
oo higher than they have been IN the
past. Tho creation OF large amount OF
new money has reduced the buying
power Of money. as measured hy goods
and must necessarily. require larger
earning power on the part OF money
usod for permanent Investments. With
railroad dividends limited u per 90 Mt
there will 30 l!,tle to attract new money
70 the railroads. With now concerns
being Incorporated every day. promising
a return far In excess OF anything in thu
railroads. and with enormous pronts
constantly being realized from manu-
facturo and from tho development OF
natural resources. 4 six per cent rail-.
road Investment will not prove very at
tracsive TO tho average man Or means.
The railroads must have money and un-
less they have way TO attract new
money they Will soon be bankrupt. An
amendment 10 tho Cummins bill raising
shp limitation OF pron,s 20 seven and
temporarily. even 10 eight per cent,
might not DO unwise.
