Publicly Owned Street Cars Called Solution
New York November 3 Public ownership of street railways was urged as a solution to unprecedented conditions by Richard McCulloch president of United Railways Co of St Louis at the American Electric Railway Association meeting. John J Stanley and T N McCarter urged fare increases to finance extensions. Stanley said the federal government regulates street railways except fares and people will pay a fair price. McCulloch argued 5 cent fares are unlikely under private ownership but could be set under public ownership with deficits covered by general taxes.

Keeping the Bonds in the Saturday Evening Post view
Thousands of small Liberty bonds are kept insecurely, worth protecting. Banks should offer free safe storage and advertise this service to small holders. The government should encourage small bondholders to keep bonds, convert many coupon bonds to registered ones, and improve post office based registration to safeguard against loss and theft. A bankers committee estimates four hundred million dollars or more are at risk in dubious investments.
