The Ilrltlsh ' 'tr savings certificates arc Issued In units of one pound sterling (equal to about $5) v i ore sold at n. discount of about $3 874 each. A person In not nllnwcd to pur- hiM more t'mn BOt "" '10 can PurcllllHe n "l8le certlllcato for any number of nits between I and COO. They can bo bought at nny postofllco or any bank and it several other places. They are Issued In the namo of tho purchaser and can bo ' ashed by him only at any postofflco on a few days' notice. They are not transfer ' e and no bank can loan money on them. Tho rato of Interest which they earn Is (fdjreialve, belne least In the first year nnd greatest In the last year, but averaging ' about BU per cent compound Interest In the flvo years for which they are Issued. jjch certificate, whether for ono pound or flvo hundred pounds, Is registered In tho - uma'of tho purchaser, and If lost can bo duplicated with only a little ditllculty. As ths person Into whoso hands tho original r to him. 5 The advantage of this last Is obvious to tho majority of worUlngmen who nro ku)lng these certificates, as they have no safe or strong-box In which to keep them properly. If cashed during the first ear only tho niuount pnld Is raturncd; after that time a ttmail amount In addition Is added for each month. J It Is Mid tho number of war savings certificates Issued In Great Ilrltaln since ' the n ot February, 1D1G, when they wcro first Issued, Is about 140,000,000. The money which theso certificates represent Is actual savings, nono of It Is borrowed noney, and most of It would navo tcen spent on goods und services which wero reeded by the Government. i There Is a war-savings committee organized In London to look after this par- tlcular matter and about 1E0O local committees Theto Is a local committee In " Urge cities for every 20 000 population, the rural districts being divided up us clr- cumstances dictate These committees finance themselves. In addition thero nro mow than 40,000 war savings associations, which aro really clubs, tho members of which agree to savo a certain small sum weekly, and as soon as the combined savings will purchase ft ccrtlflcato this Is dono In tho namo of the association or club nnd transferred later to ench member of the club. The ramifications of this organization retch every person In Grcnt Britain and tho results aro wondciful It Is possible , a ilnl!ar plan of campaign may be Introduced In tho United Ktates. Sees No Need for Investment-Dank Depression H. L Stuart, of tho firm of Halsoy, Htuart & Co . Investment bankers, of Chi up, with branch offices in tho Lafayette nulldlng here, paid n visit jestordny to Philadelphia on his way back from tho ISaltlmoro convention. Mr. Stuart la sur- ( prised at the blue ntmosphere hero and In New York among tho Investment houses, and Is of the opinion that thero Is no occasion for it being so dense. Ho said that Ml house since the close of tho Liberty Uond campaign has sold $1,000,000 two-year , notea of a public utility ns well ns other securities, that municipals nro scarce In Chicago and finding a quick market; In fact, tomo Chicago municipals last week told ut qulto a premium. lit. Stuart said thero Is plenty of business for tho going after, but If n cus tomer comes Into an office with tho Intention of buying It will not help matters If conditions aro spoken of as dep-esslng. Ho says his house deals largely with tho Individual Investor and that tho cllentelo Is largely made up of the class of buyers who buy from $1000 to $10,000 In bonds at a tlmo, and It has thousands of them on Its books. Another point Mr. Stuart emphasized Is tho notion which has been disseminated . among security buyers ns to the new war-tax act. Ho said tho brokers aro largely 1 to blame for the erroneous Impression which has taken hold genoially that this tax will make severe inroads on th'o Incomes of persons whoso Incomes depend largely on the Interest from bonds. Ills firm has published a special table for tho use of their salesmen, by which they can show prospective purchasers at a gliinco how comparatively littlo of their tncomo Is affected, unless such Incomes nro unusually lure. Tho average. Incomo of $10,000 or $12,000 a year, ho said, Is Impaired much lets by tho war tax than tho corresponding Increaso in incomo from short-term p notes giving a high yield or high-class jir. etuart ventured tno prediction mat tV.market Is concerned. i 1 tc Urges Encouragement . xne- necessity or. giving encouragement l country throuch Intelligent enonerntlon on Ions under tho stress of present war conditions was emphasized by O. B. WIllcox, of Bonbrlght & Co., N'ew York, In his report i murines committee or tho Investment Bankets' Association at Baltimore. "The utilities must expand, and means must bo found to expand them now, to meet war demands and help us win tho war by cheapening all tho war processos; , and they must build new mll&s of mains nnd tracks nnd transmission lines, great i new central station power plants and gas plants, and double and treblo their servlco after the war to speed' up tho production of nil American Industries and rcduco tho production cost of American-made goods. f "Fortunately, certain of tho public service commissions uro recognizing tho j necessity for Increased rates to enable utilities to pay their operating costs, fixed ,s charges and dividends on invested capital. In 462 rato applications reported so far for the jear 1917, increases wero allowed In 401 cases." Mr. WIllcox pointed out that $15,600,000,000 of tho people's savings are directly or Indirectly invested In nubile utilities, nnd It was for tho public servlco commis w si lions so to direct tho upbuilding of public y do ta allotted work of tho conservation of fi by greater national production, and so maintaining tho position of the United States he u the leader of tho world. ar Think Railroads Should The experience of home of the bankers K from the convention of tho Investment hv utvfp ua rcgarus raiiroau accominouuuiiii K Government that many of tho luxurious oil trunk lines aro more in the interest K comfort, could bo eliminated and other Vf room and accommodate more passengers.
