AuTTLE TALK ON THRIFT
Americans Fast Becoming World
Leaders In Thrift.
by s. W SrRAtIS
resident Of American Society for Thrift

Americans Fast Becoming World
Leaders In Thrift.
While there are many notable
examples Of waste in the United
States, the people as a whole are
thrifty and are steadily becoming
more SO through the processes Of
education and experience Here
are some Of the facts
Savings deposits in banks and
trust companies increased more than
per cent or a total Of $3.50 600, 900
during the last fiscal year for which
reports are now available
The number Of depositors in
creased nearly per cent during the
same time There was an increase
of approximate ely 50 per cent in the
number Of aerositors in school saw
ings banks, thus showing the
possibilities for thrift educational
progress in the schools Of our
country
There is an average of more than
one savings account to every family
in this country. in addition to which
there are in round numbers 5000
GOO members Of building and loan
associations,
There are millions more who are
buying homes, investments. life
insurance, farms and, in various
other ways, arc practising thrift
It would seem reasonably safe to
estimate that oue-half Of the people
of our country are today adhcring
to some substantial plan of
systematic thrift practice We are
fast becoming world leaders in
thrift
Perhaps the most encouraging
is the progress being
made among school children. The
boy saving his pennies in the school
savings bank today is the thrifty,
progressive citizen of
tomorrow
Thrift does not by any means
consist entirely of saving money.
but the steady increase in the ranks
of he nations savers is a dependable
manifestation Of thrift progress.
No more profound assurance Of
the continued upbuildiae of our
nation and the preservation of the
present admirable social order
could be vouchsafed than the wide
spread gains in thrift practice here
alluded 10.

REGULATORY LAW
FOR BUSES
Problem Of Motor Buses VIII Have
to Be Solved by the Next
State Legislature.

Madison-With automobile buses
on the increase in al sections Of
Wisconsin the next Wisconsin
legislature is expected to pass
regulatory law for this kind Of
conveyance.
Long, broad ears using the public
highways competing with local trains
and interurbans often making
speed Of so miles an hour have in
terested legislators with highway in
terests. The license tax for buses
has been raised to several hundred
dollars but the legislature brought
forth no restrictions.
Speaking Of the problem Of motor
bus regulation in Wisconsin, the
Motor Herald says.
Motor bus regulation in Wlcon-
sin was refused by the legislature
that ended its work in July because
of the source from which it eman-
ated and the purpose involved in the
regulation attempted Protest was
made and the protest needed.
But that does not mean that
motor bus regulation legislation
should not be enacted by the next
legislature The longer buses
operate on the public highways and
the streets Of the state the more il
becomes evident that, as common
carriers in the passenger transporta-
ton business, regulation in the
iterest Of the public is absolutely
necessary.
When regulation comes, however,
it must come on behalf Of the owners
Of the highways, the taxpayers Of
the state, and not in the exclusive in
terest of the utility companies and
a couple of motor bus manufacturers
who furnish modern type busses to
the utility companies because they
are good and sure paying customers.
Several states at recent sessions
of their legislatures have written
regulatory motor bus laws and regu-
Iations into the statutes This can
and viii be done Wisconsin but in
/ the proper way Ohio is a case in
point Ohio possesses more bus
lines, possibly, than any other state
It took long time to get a proper
regulatory bill through the Ohio
legislature but when it did pass it
was in the interest of all the people
The law is now in effect and the bus
lines are complying with its require
ments
THE new regulatory measures
provides for liability for insurance
policies or bonds and calls for the
payments Of fees by these concerns
purpose Of maintaining improved
highways
"The new bus law which took eff
feet July % places the motor bus
companies under complete jurisdic-
ton Of the state utilities commission
and requires certificate of con-
venience and necessity from the
body before operation.
