About 12,000 million dollars have gone into public utilities and railroads, with 1,142 million in banks and investment trusts.

The rise in production costs increases living expenses by nearly 100 dollars per family annually, ultimately borne by consumers. The note also mentions 190,000 million dollars in stocks and bonds recorded and offered for sale before 1922.
