$1,500,000 in loans have been issued in
this state to date, and that inquiry
through out channels indicates this is,
for the most part; being used by the
many health-seeking- .veterans who
form a large percentage of our popula-
tion, and by veterans who find them-
selves economically stranded at this
time, and to whom the loan provision
has been a real God-send. We have yet
to find a single instance where money

From a great eastern state, in which

York—The attention of busi-

States* is being called to the plight of
the railroads which now are feeling
the cumulative effects of competition
by other means of transportation, and
by.government regulation.
Railroad' stocks Juyf been hammer-
ed down to the lowest level* in seven
years. Several roads have been forced
to reduce or eliminate dividends; oth-
ers are due to make revisions when
Uyiir dividends fall due. The situation
Is taking oh serious proportions, ac-
cording to Wall Street observers.
Remedies have been suggested rang-
ing from mergers to lifting of the gov-
ernmental supervision or placing under
stfiej supervision the competing lines
such as buses, trucks, pipelines, etc.
Meantime, the railroads themselves
have begun a study of their own trou-
bles with a view of reducing them as
much as possible through increased
eSiciency. Thi* method has resulted
in a much, better showing in March
