THE regulation of the lisue of nil or virtually nil private tccurltlts
by1 the Government In a step which has been forecast for n lone time,
and the announcement on Saturday last that the matter had been ill.
I -I cutscd by Secretary of tho Treasury McAiloo with the Treasury ofllcialt
h 1 did not create nny surprise nmonc financiers In this city. As a matter
' ef fact, such a regulation has been, for all practical purposes, In effect
J. for some time past. It has been well known that before several wcll-l'nown
large Issues of notes, which wero floated so successfully recently, were
Wf ' offered to mo pudiic mo accroiary or mo Treasury naa ueen consulted
' 1 and his approval ootaineci. it is thought in some quarters that the ease
B' i 'with which those largo Issues had been floated would brine a flood of now
t t Hinrliii. nf nil irAa nn thn mnrtnt nnA tartnintv IntnrfArA (,, fttdim
i.r l' Government financing and that tho only remedy was Government regu-
IS 1 latlon. The difficulty In regulating such new Issues In tho futuro throuch
l-i
classifying them, Into essentials and nonessentials Is likely to provo a
?
mv
knotty problem for tho Federal Reserve Board, If It rihoulrl bo tho body
delegated to perform that function. Great care must bo taken not to
' hamper general business In such a way that It will bo unable to earn
enough to meet tho heay taxation which will bo necessary for war
purposes. There Is unquestionably a great deal In tho shapo of public
Improvements not absolutely necessary and which can very profitably
wait, and there aro others so Interlocked with the success of war Indus
tries that their Immediate construction, even at an abnormal cost, would
place them in the essential class.
It Is said that a great many corporations havo applied to Secretary
McAdoo or tho Federal Heserv e banks for approval of pending Issues.
Tho proposal to license new Issues of securities Is looked upon favor
ably by financiers In general ns a very necessary step under present
conditions. It was pointed out Unit as far as the rullroads wero con
cerned, being now under Government control, the matter would bo cry
much simplified; and that as far as tho Issuing of new securities for
' public utilities Is concerned, they aro really under what amounts to a
ij licensing system at present, as they cannot put out new Issues without
Tho nermtsglon of tho Public Service Cnmmlfcwlnni nf tholr1 reRnpetivr,
I States.
lor more than two years past tno Jlrltish Government has exercised
a. supervision over corporate financing, so that no new Issues have been
per.nlttcd unless more or less directly connected with tho war Industries.
In his annual report to Congress, tho Secretary of tho Treasury
has tald In connection with this subject of new capital flotations:
Tho Government must, If necessary, absorb tho supply of new
capital available for Investment In tho United States during tho
period of the war. This, In turn, makes It essential that unnecessary
capital expenditures should bo avoided In public and private enter
prises. Some form of regulation of new capital expenditures should
be provided. Tho subject Is halng deep study, and I hopo to bo ablo
to submit some suggestions during tho session of Congress which
will bo of a constructive as well as of a regulatory nature. It may
also become necessary to concert somo constructive measures through
which essential credits may be provided for those Industries and
enterprises in tho country essential to tho cfllcient nnd successful
1 conduct of the war.
Complaints on Three-Year Operating Income Basis
It Is sold that somo of thoso who wero- most enthusiastic over the
provision mado by tho President's railroad proclamation, namely, operat
ing Income based on tho averago operating Incomo for tho threo ears
ended Juno 30, 1917, are not qulto so enthusiastic now.
Somo of the officials of tho moro prosperous roads complain that tho
period on which tho basis is to bo computed contained a few months
.When earnings were away below tho normal. At tho eame time, they nro
perfectly aware that It also contained many months when the earnings
wero far abovo tho normal.
, Then a number of tho weaker roads aro complaining becauso during
all!, or nearly all, ofl tho three-year period they wero In tho hands of
receivers, thus giving them an abnormally low averago, which they con
alder unjust. It Is, however, a well-known fact that many railroads in
the past havo had their most prosperous periods during receiverships.
Speaking of tho effect of this three-year-basis on tho dividends of
his road, a high ofllclal of a well known system said somo days ago that
its present earnings were equal to 15 to 18 per cent on tho common
and under the guarantee of threo years' net as proposed It would equal
10 per cent on the common after paying tho preferred dividends, and
this without taking into consideration a very handsomo "Incomo from
V-. othor sources" which, by tho way, is a vory substantial item with many
roads, especially some of the well-known coal carrj ing roads.
Another New Issue Meets Success
Harris, Forbes & Co , through their representative hero, announce
that the recent Issuo of $10,500,000 two-year 7 per cent gold bonds of
the Toledo Traction, Light and Power Company nro being sold rapidly.
As part of the proceeds of this Issue was to rctiro $8,699,000 bonds of
the company maturing February 1, 1918, ho saj's that virtually all of
these have been extended, not only thoso held by prlvato Investors, but
to their surprlso thoso held by banks as well. It was thought that most
of tho banks holding these maturing bonds were In a condition whero
they would need cash for tho maturing bonds, hut such has not proved
to be the case. This leaves only about $1,800,000 of tho two year notes to
be offered to the public.

BRITISH TANK TO AID
HERE IN RECRUITING
Investment houses specializing In public utilities report that tho new
Issues of public utility securities offered slnco tho closo of tho Liberty
Loan 'campaign havo been, as a ivholo, well received, A representative
of Bonbrlght & Co. comments: "Tho sales mado havo demonstrated that
thero Is money available for Investment at attractlvo rates. Trices aro
o low that tho return available Is far In excess of what Investors wero
; i satisfied to receive a year ago, and In many cases, If not all, the lncreaso
In tho yield Is moro than what tho average Investor will jay as an Income
tax based on the new schedule of rates. As this situation Is moro and
more appreciated by Investors It seems probablo that the buying demand
for this class of securities will Increase."
;C One Reason for Decline of Liberty 4s
One reason given for the continued selling of Liberty Loan 4 per cent
bonds Is Bald to be the Inability of the holders to continue tho weekly or
monthly payments, and as a rule tho financial Institutions havo been
obliged to sell the bonds In order to protect themselves. Many of theso
Institutions havo notified theso delinquents that If payments aro not
made on the overdue installments within a given time tho bonds will bo
old for what they will bring on tho open market and the difference be
tween that prlco and par will bo deducted from the t payments already
made.
Complaints are freely mado by seasoned bond salesmen of the Intensive
methods pursued by amateurs during the last Liberty Loan campaign,
and which It was predicted at the time would produce the results which
EgV have deen described, namely, a number of subscribers Uelng urged to
S'l undertake more than they were in a position to pay lor. expert Dona
' talesmen also saw how such methods would react In the next campaign
Y by domDlne the enthusiasm of tho Invostor, who, because of his losses,

The Drltaiml.i, ctcr.ui tank of Arras
and nian.v other engagements that havo
been written Into tho history of tho
war, will be In 1'hlladclphla In tho lat
ter part of January or the first part of
February.
The Britannia haa been In this coun
try since October 23, 1917, nnd during:
that tlmo has becomo one of the princi
pal helps of Interest In recrultlnc drives,
Liberty I,oan and Canadian Victory
Loan campaigns nnd lu exhibitions.
Thousands of people hao seen tho
tank lumber up the city streets of New
York, Toronto and Montreal. It has be
come n familiar nubject In the "moUo"
pictorial review and was the center ot
attraction In the recent hero and bazaar
In New York and In nn exhibition to the
soldiers at Camp Upton, Yaphank, L. I.
The hull of the famous tank still benrs
the marks of many mnchlno gun bullets,
although It was overhauled and repaired
In England before the British War
Olllce sent It to this country. Shrapnel
does not make any dents In the tank's
hide, according to Captain Itlchard
Halgh, who commands tho tank and the
crew.
The latest adaptation of this famous
tank Is to aid In the recruiting drles
of the Ilrltlsh and Canadian recruiting
mission In this countr) Tho mission Is
after British subjects In this country.
and among other classes of men they
want. In particular, are men who are
skilled mechanics to man these tanks.
So the Britannia will leave New York
on January 25 for a tour of the United
States.
On the tour tho tank will be manned
by a crew of British soldiers, all ot
whom are wounded veterans. Captain
Ualgh himself has been wounded twice
nnd Is a veteran In tank warfare and
has been under fire many times.
Among the trades needed In the tank
service are acetylene welders, black
smiths, bol'ermakers, coppersmiths,
draftsmen, fitters And turners, painters
(camouflage), tank drivers, traction
drivers, wheelers and electricians.
Applicants are required to produce cer
tificates from employers as to proficiency
In their particular trade. On reaching
England they will undergo a trade test,
and If proficient 'will be posted to tho
tank corps. If they fall to pass the trade
test they will be required to serve In any
branch of the army to which they may
be allotted.

Warning
To Gas
i
Consumers
Due to the continued shortage
of the domestic coal supply, we may
be unable, while the extreme cold
weather lasts, fully to meet the de
mand for gas.
There is danger of some burners
going out when the gas demand is
heaviest, and gas coming on again
later.
Be sure that all .burners not in use
are shut off.
Do not.go to sleep with any gas
burning. ' ,
