Need Of New Laws
r. I. Spiker addressed the assem-

which makes it a misdemeanor for
a man to sell goods that do not be-
long to him. Mr.. Spiker stated
further that a readjustment OF the
mortgage laws was needed, as at the
present time it costs more to fore
close mortgage or to collect an ae-
count than a fair-sized account is
worth.

2LN0CRAE5 JOIN TNEEIT IN
CHANGES TO hLORICA BILL,
AND IT Will BE PASSED
WITHOUT PARTY OPPOSITION

WASHINGTON. Jan. 17.-After
two sessions Of the senate commit
tee on finance yesterday the men,
bers of the committee were IN pos
session of a fair idea of what shape
the Aldrich financial bill will be in
when 1t Is ready next week. 1t IS
said to be practically certain that
the limit of extra currency which
the bill provides for will be raised
from $250,000,O00 to 100000, 200.
Most of the members of the commit
tee believe that this figure Is not too
high for a time OF emergency when
a heavy issue of currency notes is
demanded on security of the pre-
scribed sort and under the prescrib-
ed tax. The taxation on the emerg-
ency issues will not, it is believed, be
placed higher than per cent, which
the bill now provides.
An amendment offered by Senator
Bailey reducing the required popula-
tion of a county or municipality
whose bonds are to figure in cur
rency issue from 10000 to 10000 is
expected to receive the support of a
majority of the committee, and ac-
cording to reliable report will be
adopted. This will permit smaller
towns of just as great an age and
of commensurate prosperity with
larger towns to participate in the
benefits of the measure.
Senator Dolliver probably will Of
fer an amendment in opposition to
the railroad bond feature of the bill,
and it may possibly call for the en-
tire elimination of such securities
Senator Bailey will no doubt support
him in such a project, as he does
not hesitate to let 1t be known that
he is not in favor of railroads being
allowed to file their bonds with the
government as security for currency
issues, owing to their tendency to
fiuctuate There is thought to be
enough opposition in the committee
however, to defeat such an amend
ment, for the belief expressed by its
opponents is that the backing by the
government, once railroad bonds are
accepted as security for certain is
sue, will have the effect of insurine
the stability of the currency notes
issued on them.
| A democratic member of the com
mittee asserted today that the mi
nority, as a whole, is not in favor Of
bill providing for a currency ba
sis except government bonds, but be
ing unable to prevent favorable
report on such a measure, they are
making it their duty, so far as lieI
in their power, to make 1t as effec
tive measure of that nature al
possible, and they are, therefore
Joining with the republicans in ad
vocacy of most of the features of tn,
Aldrich bill.

BUSINESS IMPROVING RAPIDLY
ALONG CONSERVATIVE LINES
IS ESTIMATE OF E. W. EAVES,
MANAGER CLEARWATER CO.
Bulk Shipments Being Agitated, but
Farmers Net Certain of Their
Ground-Grain Bags Will Be
Cheaper for Next Year

Business conditions are improv-
ing in all sections of the Northwest
and rapidly resuming normal condl-
tions," said E. w. Eavts, manager
of the Vollmer-Clearwater Grain
company, who has returnei from a
business visit to Spokane. Portland,
Tacoma and Seattle, having attend
ed the annual meeting Of the Wheat
Growers association in Pullman
while en- route.
Business in all sections is being
conducted on very conservative
basis, the trade generally buying
only the supplies needed and limit
ing the credit business. The out
look generally is very encouraging.
Concerning Bulk Shipments
"The matter Of shipping wheat in
bulk is one that must originate
with the farmers" said Mr.. Eaves.
when asked relative to the discus
sion on this question at the wheat
growers convention. "The question
was discussed at length at the con-
vention, and at the close of the
meeting was as much up in the air
as when the convention was called
to order.
"There are many things to be
taken into consideration before def
mite action is taken. In the first
place, the grain in sacks will brink
higher price than bulk deliveries,
which will offset more than one-halt
of the sack bill in the beginning
Another feature is that the general
opinion prevails among the farmers
of the Inland Empire that eventual
ly the harvesting win be performed
with combined machines of some
character, and sacks must be used
with these machines. Reports from
Eastern states showed that ware
house charges for bulk grain are
higher than where the delivery Ii
of conditions will of necessity bt
carefully considered before the
farmers change from the present
system.
Grain Bags Be Cheaper
"a big production of jute las
year has assured a big reduction II
the price of grain bags" said Mr.
Eaves. "For the past three years
the price has ranged from 9 to l.
cents. but it is certain the opening
price will not be above s cents thi
season."
He says the estimate compiled b,
coast exporters shows that from g.
to 20 per cent of the grain crop o
the Northwest has been sold by tn
farmers and shipped to tidewater. Il
the Clearwater country more thai
four-fifths of the crop has been pur
chased and shipped out.

Delegates to National Democratic Con-

Way.

PORTLAND. Ore. Feb. 3.-A large
ly attended and thoroughly representa-
tive gathering of business men was
held in the parlors of the Portland
Commercial club last Friday night to
discuss the advantages the Pacific
Northwest could secure as result of
1.-THE national democratic committee
having selected Denver as the place for
their convention next July. 1t was
imost unanimously and enthusiastically
decided that arrangements would begin
at once for a special train composed of
prominent citizens of Washington and
Oregon which would go to Denver for
the purpose of advertising the attrac-
| tons of this portion of the United
States as the choicest summer play
ground of America. 1t was also de-
lcided to ask the Trans Continental
Passenger association to put tickets on
sale at all stations in the United
States which would include trip to
Portland and other points throughout
the Pacific northwest at the same pro-
portionate rate that is made for the
round trip to Denver.
