Sees SnUing in Energy
Worth More Than Billion
Guaranty Trust Estimates That Nation Has Means of
Elfectng Great Economics in Fuller Utilization of
Water-Power Resources Under New Legislation

Now that tho so-calied wild orgy of
spending in the United States has been
foilowef by = disposition on the part
OF consumers to challenge pricess it is
no longer inappropriate to speak OF
what for time was the forgotten art
of thrift. National saving does not
mean simply accommodating dimes in the
banks, or cutting down desserts to a
three ea-wcek schedule, or of substi-
tuting. calicoes for georgettes. There
are bigger items also that could be
economical. The Guaranty Trust Com
pany, for example, estimates that the
United States has the means for ef-
fecting saving of its energy supply
of we'll in excess of billion dollars
year.
"For the most part" the company
explains, this saving can be effected
only through fuller utilization of
the nations water-power resources"
A great enthusiasm is pervading some
of the more conscious Of the business
leaders of the country for getting more
use out of the national waterways. In
the Middle West, particularly, trade
bodies are actively agitating not only
for a more efficient harnessing of
water power to the needs of industry,
but also for fuller use of the rivers
anu idhcS iOt tIduSpOIldbiu w edhS
some of the burden away from the rail-
roads,
! Studying Power Resources
The role of the Federal government
in this movement has been extended by
the recent water power act. Under the
direction of Congress the United States
! Geological Survey is studying the power
resources of the Atlantic seaboard be-
tween Boston and Washington. A proj-
ect is under consideration in this re
gion whereby, through linking of
hydro electric enterprises with steam
generation of electricity in the mine
! fields and at other convenient places
an estimated saving of S3O0.00O,00
could be effected every twelve months
The lack Of exact knowledge as to
the water power resources OF the coun-
try stresses the need of natlon-wlde
/ survey bv the newly created Federal
Power Commission.
In broad terms it may be said that
more than three-fourths of the poten-
tial water power of New England has
already been developed; in the remain
/ der of the country east of the Rockies
one third has been developed, and IN
the Far West one-sixteenth is in use.
1t is estimated that 6S.6 per cent of the
potential water power is in the Far
West.
In commenting on various examples
of hydro electrical enterprises, study
of the situation by the Guaranty says:
"Although not the first large scale
electric transmission development IN
point of time. the electrlfication OF
portions of various trunk line railway 5
has demonstrated the practicablllty OF
New-York tribune., 1920-08-30

this method of providing motive power.
Mountain sections of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & ST. Paul Railway, for ex-
ample, have been electrified. The ser
the volume of the tonnage hauled has
been increased, one electric locomotive
taking the place of four steam loco
motives. The Butte, Anaconda & Pa
cific Railway is reported to have ac-
complished with seventeen electric To-
ccmotives work which had formerly
required twenty eight steam locomo-
tives of the mastodon type. Similar
results have been achieved by electri-
fcation of part of the Norfolk &
Western system. Even the successful
use of steam generators has increased
the confidence in tho feasibility of
carrying electrification involving the
use of water power much further than
has yet been attempted.
Superiority No Longer Doubted
"The superiority of the electric
motor over the steam locomotive is
no longer in doubt The steam engine
and especially in low temperatures.
The locomotive, moreover, consumes
much of its fuel when standing by
and in descending grades. 1t must
carry supplies of fuel and water with
it and it's operation requires an ex-
cessve amount Of labor. On the other
hand, the electric motor ceases to
consume energy when idle and is even
made to utilize the momentum of its
train in descending grades to feed
electric current back into the line. 1t
| is not burdened with the carrying of
the source of its energy, and its su-
perior effectiveness on grades saves
time and permlN heavier loading of
I trains"
The way for further development in
the use of water power has been paved
by the new waterpower legislation
which is in part an outgrowth of the
changed conditions that make hydro
power of increasing Importance. The
new law, which removes the uncertain
ty that deferred private enterprise
from developing water power, and yet
protects the public interest, creates a
Federal power commission, composed
of the Secretaries of War, of the Inte-
rior and of Agriculture. The commits
sion is authorized to issue licenses for
works on the public domain, in the ma
tonal forests and on navigable rivers
for period not exceeding fifty years.
Public service enterprises are left un-
der the control of state commissions
when such exist, and in cases where
such state commission is not in be-
ing the Federal commission has the
power to regulate and control service,
rates and the issuance of securities.
When the power, or any of 1T, enters
into interstate or foreign commerce
the rates and services must be reason
| able, Just and discriminating.

Hide and Leather Preferred

Cuestior-Do you consider the preferred
stock of the American Hide and Leather
Company reasonably safe Investment
around its present market price &C NJ H.
Answer-The American Hide and
Leather Company reported for the year
ended June 80 earnings equivalent to
S.51 per cent on the preferred, compared
to 2O.69 per cent the year before. Earn
ings were nothing in the last quarter
and 1888 per cent in the quarter ended
March 81. The preferred is more than
100 per cent in arrears Various plans
have been suggested for taking care Of
the back dividends. The leather bust
ness is subject to wide fluctuations. On
its present status and past record we
would refuse to rate this preferred issue
as reasonably safe investment"

synopsis of the same as to CHARACTER. sta
bility. yield and maturity.-J. A. B.
Answer-With regard to Endicott-
Johnson preferred stock as a good in
vestment, it has long dividend record
and the company is we'll managed. At
90 the yield is over y per cent. At
lantic Gulf & West Indies preferred is
also entitled to a good rating. The
company shows good earning power.
The yield at 63 is almost per cent.
Marine preferred has ~ per cent divi-
Gends accrued. The company pays
per cent and extras from time to time,
dependent upon earnings. We regard
the stock as a rather good speculative
investment. The yield at rs is over
per cent Paris bonds will be paid at
maturity, in our opinion, although
there is always chance Of political
complications in the purchase of for
eign bonds. 1t appears rather remote
in this case. however. The yield at 81
is about 141a per cent. We advise
against the purchase of Replogle and
Vanadium stocks. They are highly
speculative, are not seasoned, and are
very sensitive to earnings.
