LLECTRIFICATIOS OF
 RAILROADS

Ever since the New York, New Haven and Hartford was electrified between New York and New Haven New Englsnders have had close up view of what electrifcation can do for a railroad. This elcctrifca- ton was started during the Mellen regime and was 10 extend to New York. The line went financially on the rocks by the time the electri1- cation reached New Haven and despite the great advantages one reads about no attempt has been made to extend the overhead pow CT lines to Boston.

If identification means so much the line between New York and New Haven should be far more efficient" in some railroad particu- lar than the line from New Haven to Boston. Perhaps it is; but If so, it is secret held closely by officials of the road. That it is clean there is no doubt; the trains roll along without smoke or cinders. Whether they run faster, or whether the electric engines pull longer trains, is something else.
 Now one reads of w. w. Alter bury of the Pennsylvania claiming that when his line is electrified be- tween New York and Philadelphia and thence on to Washington a speed of 100 miles an hour will be attainable; and even more, one reads that when the road is elec- trifed all the way to Chicago it will he possible to travel between the two largest cities in If hours, in stead of 70 as at present.
 If this is true, then why do the New Haven electrically hauled trains travel so much slower than loo miles an hour between New Haven and New York?
 Again one reads that the Phila- dclphia and Reading railroad is also clcctrifying it's line between New York and Philadelphia, and also other lines under it's aegis. The Reading, however, seems to lack the punch in it's publicity that the Pennsylvania so easily shows. No claims of 0-miles-an-hour trains are made. The identification is merely being referred to as an

 Meanwhile the railroad Journals are carrying stories of "improved' steam locomotives, which are being made in every leading country and which are expected to vie with the electric engines in speed and power, with economy Of operation and first cost considerably in their favor.
 IL is a pretty racc-that between the builders Of electric engines and those providing immensely im- proved steam engines. Lines are be- ins electrified and that done elec- tric locomotives will be more prominent on the landscape. But the designers Of new-fanglcd ways Of utilizing steam are not sleeping and some Of their claims at least match the claims being made by electrlfi- cation enthusiasts.

WAGES AND PRODUCTION

Times have changed. Tn the bad old days the first thing that hap pened during a depression was for manufacturers to seek to take ad- vantage of the situation by reducing wages.
 That process showed the burden of the depression upon the general run of wage-earning consumers, and greatly prolonged recovery; and it rseulted in a more reduced level of prices and ultimately in lessened profits when prosperity returned.

lie has had time to realize there is no need for bother.
 It IS an offense against society to spread false rumors about banks. One rarely hears of anyone being prosecuted for the offense.
 Small western banks, usually To- cated in country towns, serve farm CTS who borrow money on their lands as security. When the price of land goes down something is likely 10 happen.
 So far this year 740 of such banks have gone into difficulties. Which looks bad only when the figures stand alone. The fact is that every year has seen hundreds of such banks go into financial difficulties of various sorts. For instance:
 In 192G. 956 small banks suspend cd.
 In 1927 there were 662.
 In 1925 there were 49I.
 In 1929 there were G42.
 Farm lands have descended in value ever since 1920, when the in f!ation bubble broke. The situation has been topsy-turvy ever since.
 Last week, when 124 small farm CTS banks suspended, not a single institution was in an industrial dis trict. This is regarded as significant. II is likely to remain thus. Banks in the East, in the first place, are much more thoroughly regulated. Most of our eastern banks are larger than dozens of the small country insti- tutions combined. Their assets arc diversified, with not all the GEES in one basket. Western and southern banks are unable 10 obtain such 6i- versifcation because of the nature Of their borrowers.
 In the Southwest 4o Of the dis tressed banks were members of a chain. This illustrates one weakness of chain banking. When the parent hank is in trouble, the entire chain IS weakened.
 A significant de> elopment since the creation O the Federal Reselve System is that there arc very few . failures Of banks Tn the cities. The small country institutions sn the West and South. however. are not affected by inc strengthening inhu- cnce of the Federal Reserve. LII- racely something will have to be evolved by the banking fraternity to strengthen the country banks. It vllI he better for all concerned for ,ha bankers 10 do this than to await remedial Legislation at the hands of Congress. As it is, the inherent weakness of the country institutions in inc wide spaces is quite certain to he brought up in Congress.

CITY WORK

The board Of public works IS mah- ing a monthly report 10 the Com mon Council; and this report, as well, is in the nature Of q report 70 the public.
 The last report gives something 10 think about. It indicates the prodiG- ious amount Of detail necessary to keep the wheels of progress, even n street improvements, moving.
 These details are being looked after as efficiently as the public would like. Ir involves the employ ment Of a large force of men, and unlike almost any other business, they are constantly distributed over large areas Of the city. The work being done or contemplated goes into every nook of the city's area.
 Chairman E. \. Humphrey of the board of public works has tre- mendous job on his hands; he IS do- ig q public service that sometimes IS not as thoroughly appreciated as it ought to be. City Engineer Merian likewise needs not 10 be overlooked, (. horde ot constructIonsI details regarding streets falling upon his shoulders.
 The next time the Common Coun- ell uses its eagle eyes to look at what the board of public works IS doing and how f need only re- member that the job is as extensive as 1t Is exacting, and that unreascn- able criticism is out Of place.

Washington, Nov A tlo) - h. formers on persons trying 10 smuggle diamonds and other goods into the United States are having one of their most success full business years.
 The customs bureau of the treasury expects that before the end of 1880 informers will have received $300,000 for their work in tipping off the government as 10 efforts being made to smuggle in goods. In 1929 the informers received s150,000 and the gov ernment recovered s600,000 through their information. Law provides the treasury may pay in- formers 25 per cent of what it re- covers on smuggled goods.
