BANK NOTES FOR EVERYBODY

If house resolution No. 23,0l7, in
8roduced in congress on December 20.
1906, becomes a law, the national
bank issue Of the United States may
be increased without any addition TO
the securities, in the sum of $500, 1885,
SAL.
This bill provides bank notes for
national banks in the form of guar
anteed credit notes, with no increased
responsibility on the banks. The gov
eminent takes the risk. primarily, al
though there is provided a sinking or
guaranty fund to meet expenses of the
issue and losses through failure.
The bill provides that any national
bank may issue guaranteed credit
notes not to exceed S71s per cent of
its capital, paying to the government
per cent per annum on the first
issue of % per cent of its capital and
5 per cent on the issue of 12h per
cent of its capital. This increased
issue of money may be made without
increasing the deposit of securities
with the government
1t is an expansion of the currency
without any increase in the redemp-
ton fund.
This 1920, ,165,541 of additional bank
notes may be termed a plain initiation
of the currency without guaranteeing
the government. 1t is emergency law
to give the banks more money with
which to handle the growing business
of the country without the trouble of
buying additional bonds with which

The scheme would be convenient in

needs about $200.000,O00 additional

meet the increased business demands
of the country without increasing
their responsibilities.

The present legislature seems to be
determined to cut off two normal
schools-those at Ashland and Drain,
thus giving Oregon two flrst-class in
stitutions, one at Monmouth and one
at Weston. If this is done the legis-
lature can afford to deal literally with
the remaining two schools and give
them every facility for meeting the
keen demands made upon them.

MAN "MAiD" SENT TO JAIL.
Servant Girls Union Puts an Enemy
Out of Business

Pt,sburg The servant girls union
won a victory when Blaine Chester,
who was employed as a maid of all
work in the house Of Miss Carrie Hall,
524 Fourth avenue, was sent to the
workhouse for 80 days because he was
keeping some girl out Of place.
Policeman David LennoX arrested
Chester declaring he was a suspicious
person and took him before Magis-
trate Kirby
Il am an honest workingman, said
Chester to the magistrate, and the
only reason | am arrested is because
OF the Servant Girls union. They think
men have no rights whatever and have
been bounding me ever since they dis

You'd better go to the workhouse
for 80 days the magistrate remarked,
and maybe they'll teach you there
how to do other things besides kitchen
work.
