OWN RAILROADS _ _ Mutual Savings Banks Owned Entire Wage Earners Directly and In directly Affected by Roads' Solvency. Dl VISION OF SECURITIES. ly by Depositors Hold Largo Amount of Railway 18-4t Bonds. T. c-st Lazy mare T. cases ville, day Millions of thrifty Americans who have luid aside something for a "rainy day" are directly or indirectly owners of railroad securities. This ownership I represents not only individual Invest ment In the railroads, but holdings of railroad securities by life insurance compan , pf . 8avIng8 banks flre and ma . r | ne i nsuran ce companies, benevolent associations,. educational institutions, trust companies and State and Natlon | »1 banks. A large part of the assets of these institutions depend on the sol vency of the railroads. The ownership of railroad securities among these people is divided approx imately as follows : Individuals, numbering over 1.000. 000, own outright about $10, 000,000,000 In railroad securities. Over 600,000 are stockholders with an average holding of $13,956. Life Insurance companies, with 53.000. 000 policies in force, own nearly $2,000,000,000 of railway securities. 16-4t Savings banks, with 10,000,000 depositors, own $847,000,000. Fire and marine insurance com panies, casualty and surety com panies own a total of $649,000,000. Benevolent associations, col leges, schools, ehnritable institu tions, etc., own $350,000,000. Trust companies, State and Na tional banks own $865,000,000. ner's According to statistics complied for I the Association of Life Insurance Pres | ldents in 1918, 27.65 per cent of life Insurance companies' assets were in vested In railroad bonds, and during the first half of 1919 the percentage of railroad bonds held by the life insur ance companies was 26.25 of th# total assets of these companies. Interest of Wage Earners. In addition to this widespread own ership of equities of American rall I roads by the people of the United States every wage earner who puts ' I money Into the savings bank has a di rect interest In the soundness of rail fr | | arf!e p Br t of the savings of men and women wnge earners secured by the railroad bonds which arehoiight by the savings hanks. A great many of these Institutions are mutual savings banks which have no capitnl stock, pay no dividends, earn no profits for stockholders, and their entire property belongs to the de positors. Every dollar that the bank ^arnrf beyond the actual cost of doing business also belongs to them. The report of the United States Comptroller of the Currency for 1918 shows that 625 of these savings banks road investment on account of the a operated on the mutual plan had at the elu i 0 f png total deposits of $4.422, 096,393.15 credited to 9.011,404 depos Itors, an average deposit of $490.72. These figures covered mutual savings banks in 18 states of the Union. The Comptroller's report gives the amount of railroad bonds held by mu tual savings banks In the six New Eng land stHtes—Maine, New Hampshire, of I Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode island and Connecticut—as $406,272,166. The report of tile State Superintendent of Banks of New York shows that the railroad bonds held by the mutual sav in lugs hanks at the end of 1918 in New York amounted to $.'101.711. 4. Urge Adequate Rates. In a resolution adopte«! by the Asso I elation of Life Insurance Presidents | the heads of the country's large insur itnoe companies express their attitude toward the railroad situation as fol lows : to at "Rehabilitation of the railroads and establisliment by law of rates adequate to provide for the present and future demands of our growing commerce and to stabilize the credit and securities of ,lle roads."
