Thue who have Riven the matter considerable thought aie agieed that the pooling of the facilities will prove the solution if the problem and that if it had been adopted at first cveivthlng would be in good 1 tinning order In this time The appioach of winter and the posslbllltv of heavv snnwsloims is looked upon as a setlmis factor in the operation of all cccpt the southern loads . .Jt Is wld ihCvJirlnclpjil Uanspoitatiou man.igcts are being constantly sum moned to Washington foi consultation, with the view to the hiriutlon of tnanj dlfll cultle3 that now elst, Oi thing Is certain that the new plans as outlined make foi ffllcicucy, and it follows that the Rieatei the etllcicncy the greater will bo tho earnings. It is said tho plans Include the distribution of rolling stock and labot to the points most needed. At present the gicat need is cars, and more care. There are some financiers who believe the pooling of the railroad facilities will result In an advantage to the holders of tailroad secuiltlcs; but It cannot be sild that this is the geneial Impression. None who wire Interviewed on the subject, however could be found to epic,us an opposite view Compulsory Purchase of Government Ronds Compulsoiy purchase of win bonds by the people in pioportlon to wealth Is advocated ns the most democratic and effective plan for future war financing of the United States by George 13. Bairctt, of Bonbrlght & Co. 'Tho slow accumulation of surplus Investment funds, the limitations of Income and revenue taxation and a great shifting of capital at the expense of tremendous declines In all sccuiity markets" savs Mr. liairctl. "obviously do not provide tho maximum financial effort of which this nation Is capable. Since through expansion of credit the gieatest source of subscriptions to Gov ernment loans Is reached. It (ls clear that some application of our extraordinary banking resources to the problem of the flotation of Government loans will be the most cmcient means of exerting at once our maximum financial strength. "It is hero suggested thai future loans be apportioned according to wealth, tnd that their purchase be made compulsoiv. Since the greater part of wealth Is in tlcd foim. this would Involve boi rowing the. amount of the bonds thiough banks, which would extend the credit to the Government. Money would not be necessar foi the pavment of such tax, and In fact there would not be sufficient money in the United States to make such a pay ment If an amount of bonds were Issued equal to 10 per cent of the 25O,OOO,O0O,000 capital of this country. Under the ptesent Kedeiu! Reset ve sHtem, however, an almost unlimited credit expansion Is piovlded for. and the mobilization of gold by the-Federal neseie banks places this expansion on a sound basis. 'On tho basis of 10 per cent of capital the pui chase of $25,000,000,000 of Liberty Bonds would be provided by the creation of $23,000,000,000 In credit. As an ex ample a man with $100,000 of capital, whethet invested in becurltles, In business or In property, could go to a bank and bortow $10,000. With this $10,000 credit he would purchaso a $10,000 Liberty Uond or his piopoitlon of the issue, the bank re taining it as additional security for the loan. Under such a plan operating through out'the country It would be possible for the Government to make Its pavment by drawing upon the deposits with tho banks in such a manner as not to unduly dls turb our financial svstem. The plan Is detnociatlc. since It applies an equal burden to all property In the countrv, "It Is more In accord with sound banking principles that the ciedlt of the banks throughout the countiy be utllUed In this way by tho people, with their wealth as security, lather than having the bunks tie up their own resources by purchase of bonds bejond their means -"This plan would also have a collatetal effect, gieatly stimulating thrift neces airy In wartime and economies which would result in the pavment of these loans." Mr. Uarretfs suggestion is worthy of consideration. War Stamps on Notes to Hit Many Ranks The provisions of the war-ievenue act teferrlng to stamps on promissory notes, tc which goes Into effect on Saturdav next, will prove a costly proposition to banks and trust companies that have been accustomed to bor.ow from Federal Reservo banks on such notes secured by collateral. The low rate of Interest for loans made by "the Reserve banks for periods of fifteen davs or less has resulted In quite a volume of such business, and It is said that the larger banks have often found It convenient to borrow money In this way for one or two das. In some cases such loans have been secured recently by Liberty Bonds or Treasuty certificates, and thViules also permit the deposit of certain classes of commercial paper as collateral tot the promlssoty noteB of banks. The new act piovldes for a stamp tax of two cents for notes not exceeding lit and an additional two cents for each additional $100 01 fraction thereof. The rate of lnteiest on these loans charged by the Federal Reserve has been 3 per cent. nd some bankers have figured out that this stamp tax as applied to dally loans ould amount to a charge of 10 per cent Instead of 3 per cent, and for a fifteen day Period would equal a charge of Stf' per cent. The subject has been taken up by the Fedetal Reserve governors at their recent meeting, and it Is said petitions for relief from this tax have been forwarded to the Federal Reserve Board at Washington by banks that are much Interested In the Ubject. . -Wh.n hm:ii... hronched to Governor Rhoades, of the Reserve Bank of E, Philadelphia, yesterday, he said that he could not tee now any repeal in .pecmi Ar.J.4 . ...
