URGED TO LEASE LINES.
Special Counsel Wnltcr L. Fisher
presented a plan to tlto council sub
commlttco on local transportation
which, ho said, would give Chicago
the bcnclUa of municipal ownership
nnd homo rule over its transportation
lines.
A lcaso of tho lines ly the pity Is
his Idea.
Tho elubornto construction pro
gram for subways and now elevated
and surfaco lines outlined In the re
cently i ejected trusteo ordlnanco
would bo made part of tho proposed
measure. He added:
"This arrangement would rcqulro
only a few changes In tho recently
defeated ordinance but they aro im
portant ones and are what tho pub
lic demands.
"Tho plan provides for tho city
taking over tho linos, after they havo
been consolidated, under a lense,
with an option to purchaso thorn at
any tlmo upon six months' notice.
"Tho city would nppolnt n board
of trustees to operate tho lines at
service cost. Tho present security
holders would bo guaranteed n fnir
return, whllo tho city would dictate
tho management nnd keep tho cost
ns low as possible.
"This would help keep fares down.
"If a lease to tho lty am bo
worked out, nnd I think It can, it
would remove many of tho objections
to tho trusteo plan, simplify tho
whole problom, nnd unlto all of
thoso who rtnlly wish to sco n con
structive traction program cairled out
promptly.
"Tho city's obligation to pay rental
would hnvo to bo confined to tho
rovonues from tho leased properties."
Construction of downtown subways
would bo started Immediately with
tho $23,000,000 now In tho city's
traction fund.
Tho committee Indicated Its ap
proval, but took no action.
Only two legislative actions aro
necessary. Ono would clvo tho city
tho power to lea-o tho lines and tho
other to authorize tho surfaco and
elovntcd lines to consolidate,
Tho stato public utilities commis
sion would havo no control, slnco tho
lines would bo considered municipally
owned.
BUY FIFTH LIBERTY BONDS
AND BE SAFE.
About tho saddost thing In tho
world Is to undergo self-denial for
years, to save money nnd then to seo
tho "rnlny day fund" wired out by
tho failure of somo "wild cat" schemo
This happens every day. Widows
nnd hard-working men uro credulous
They listen to tho oily promises of
"get rich quick" promoters and hand
over their savings to slick salesmen
with "blue sky" securities promising
impossible profits.
And when tho bolt falls out of tho
clear skv tho pitiful savings of years
disappear in an instant. "Tho
Bonanza Patroll Co. has gono up. Wo
aro ruined!" Then there is nothing
to do but begin llfo all over and at
a tlmo when earning capacity has be
gun to ebb and tho way Is thornier
than over before.
Whntovoi tho temptation may havo
been In tho past to do this thing,
thrro is no excuse for It now. Hun
dreds of thousands of experienced
publicity and investment men hae
boen ut work for nearly two years,
under the authority of tho American
Government, oducutlng millions of
peoplo In tho lino art of safe Invest
ing. It is undoubtedly tho fact that
more peoplo aro saving money today
than ovor before In all tho history of
tho world. And more of tho peoplo
aro interested In the proper handling
of their savings accumulations. Lit
erally millions havo been taught to
buy Government bonds, and thoy have
learned to buy Thrift and War Sav
ings Stamps as tho best possible way
to prevent tho waste of fugitive
quarters and dimes.
Tho Government will offer another
chanco to "got in on tho ground
floor" during tho spring when thu

JOSEPH RUSHKEWICZ.
Popular Democratic Candidate for City Treasurer.
Fifth Liberty Lo.m is offered. Tho
money will bo spent to pay tho cost
of maintaining nnd restoring to their
homes tho vnllant soldiers who havo
won for America tho world's great
est victory. Tho bills must bo paid
and the American people must pay
them.
From the "thrift and snvlngs" view
point tho Fifth Liberty Loan will bo
ns good as, or even hotter than, tlto
previous Liberty Loans. It Is ltkoly
to hnvo a shorter maturity and that
will ennblo thu holder to obtain n
gcncrouB Incomo whllo he holds them
nnd get his principal back, with n
hnudsomu appreciation during tho
coming period of Intonso activity and
prosperity.
If anything "goes up in valuo" Lib
erty bonds surely will. Tho wny to
get tho benefit of such advances In
valuo is to buy tho coming Fifth Lib
erty bonds.
To buy them when thoy aro offered
everybody should begin saving up
now.
Set asldo all tho money you can
spare out of your wages and hnvo It
In your snvlngs bank for tho Initial
payment on Fifth Liberty Bonds.
