Don't let a CRATER tell you
that he will advance you the
price of an automobile, to be
paid back to him in installments
Of so much per month, at 8 per-
cent interest, for if you fall for
that you will pay him 16 per-
cent interest, and also on mon
ey that you are not using, for
each time you make him a pay
ment on your note, you are CIV
ing him that much money that
you havt paid Is percent in
terest on for the use of it for
one year, to loan to some one
else at the rate of 16 percent
rate Of interest, and thereby be
collecting interest at that rate
from hall dozen persons at the
same time on the same money.
The so called finance compan-
les will not admit that this is
interest. They call it all kinds of
hoodwinked names, anything
will do for aname, but interest.
We would advise any one to do
a little figuring with your
banker before you littn too far
to one of those birds who wants
to hold you up with the point of
pencil insttad of at the point

AUTOMOBILE FINANCING
IN VIRGINIA.

We have a number of compan-
les operating in Virginia unoer
the head Of Finance or invest
rclt Companies, organized, SO
thew claim, to take care OF the
poor man who wants to purch-
ase IN automobile on time, or IN
other words, buy a car on credlt
These companies are operated d
long the same lines as banking
institutions in as much as when
ihev advance you the price OF an
automobile, or take over your
note from your dealer, they mer-
civ loan you that much cash Sc
cured by a lien on the car you
have purchased, this money IS
payable by you in installments
of so much per month. These
companies do not stress, or try
to make clear to the public the
actual rate of interest, which
thew call finance charge, that
they charge you for loaning, or
pay the dealer the balance ON
your automobile. They tell you
that they are only adding an 8
per cent for finance charge,
which, if correct, would be moth
ing but an unlawful rate of in
terest, but that 8 per cent
statement is bunk, because
when you buy an automobile on
the time payment plan, instead
of paying the 8 percent inter-
est you pay just twice that am
cunt or 16 per cent interest, al
though it is listed on the con-
tract, that you sign, as 8 per-
cent, but you are paying this
borrowed money back to. the
company by the month, usually
in twelve equal monthly pay
ments, and if you have kept
your payments up, in six months
you have paid one-half of your
debt on the car and all the time
you have been paying this mon
ey back you have, at the same
time paid interest on the money
you did not have, for you have
paid it back to the, so called
finance company, and they have
loaned to some other fellow
at the same rate of interest,
which when figured out, is moth
ing short of 16 per cent inter-
est rate.
We do not wonder at this SO
much as we are puzzled and
would like to know why our
state laws will permit organic
ations to monopolize from the
proceeds gained through and by
charging an unlawful rate of in
terest and taking this from the
poor class which so to make up
the greater part of our great
Commonwealth (Virginia). We
would again like to know why
that such organizations are al
lowed to charge 16 percent
rate of interest on money loan
ed, and on good security at that,
and the law plainly says that G
percent is all that can legally
charged and confines our bank
ing institutions to the 6 percent
rate. We would say that if these
organizations, operating under
various names, be allowed to
charge 16 percent rate on mon
ey loaned why not let the banks
do likewise?

Future Househeating Fuel,

From the standpoint Of fuel
conservation and smoke abatea
ment, gas is the ultimate fuel for
househeating and sooner or later
will be very largely used.
1t is the easiest fuel to burn.
1t may be readily controlled. The
fuel supply is always at command
with continuity assured. The
basement, instead of being devo-
ted almost entirely to a heating
plant and fuel storage, may be
spotlessly clean and suitable for
a playroom, den or whatever the
owner wishes.
The present trend in gas man
ufacture points to a cheaper pro-
duct. This is the goal of every
gas company. The manufacture
of gas is matter of quantity
production, and consequently the
future will have decidedly
downward trend while the price
of solid fuels has always steadily
increased.

RESP ONSIBILVTY OF PUB
Lie UTILITIES TO
THE PUBLIC.

WV ~ ONOJNSS3 AAAllA r AAs NAAooNkSJl
Vice-President, The United Gas
Improvement Company, Philadel-
phia, said:
"The unprecedented growth
and development of the public
utility industry, in service to the
public, in magnitude Of it's fnan-
cial investment, in advancement
and improvement in methods of
production and distribution, in
number Of men and women en-
ployed, and in it's intimate rela-
tons to the daily life of the COM
munities served, is one of the out
standing developments of the
twentieth century.
The tremendous expansion Of
the business has brought with it
many technical problems as well
as problems in connection with
tie wide diffusion of stock own
ership and the great increase in
number of stockholders; the enor-
nous amounts Of capital required
each year for expansions, better
ments and Improvements, amount
ing in 1927 to about one and a
half billion dollars: problems of
adjustment in financial structures
made necessary by consultations,
mergers or regrouping under hol-
ding companies of large numbers
Of properties previously indepen-
IDENTIFY operated and financed,
and problems especially of vary
ing and conflicting laws of the
48 states exercising regulatory
jurisdiction over these great pub
lie utility properties. The utility
industry has attained it's present
position as the second industry
in America through following
sound and conservative methods
of financing and management.
eve have now reached the
point in our development when
we should take stock of our plans
for the future in respect to our
responsibilities to the public. In
stead of resenting criticisms
from stududents of our industry,
we should make it clear that we
welcome constructive criticisms.
"A clear distinction, however,
must be drawn between helpful
and constructive criticisms and
political attacks eliminating from
advocates of government owner
ship. The first seek to strengthen
and improve the public utility
situation, the second seek first to
throttle and strangle, and ulti-
mately to destroy the public utili-
ties as private enterprises. We
should be prepared readily to ac-
cept such criticisms as upon con-
sideration as are found to be
sound, and such of them as in our
judgment are not supported by
business methods should be rejec-
ted by US, and the reasons for
our position given publicity, so
that the great investing public
may have the benefit of our views.
What is our responsibility to
the public? First of all let us
strive to be an organization of
earnest God-fearing men and wo-
men, constantly discharging our
responsibilities according to the
highest standards of service-an
organization which aims to keep
it's financial methods, it's account
ing systems, it's operating prac-'
ticeS as well as IFS nl1hlic no)icies
