BEN SELLING SAVED
PEOPLE FROM PANIC
When Bank Failed He Promptly
Offered Par for Pass Books.
Loan Sharks and Brokers Thwarted

Help promptly is of double value.
says the proverb,
Oregon people, and Portland people
in particular, will remember the fail
ure of the Title Guarantee and Trust
company, OF Portland. in October, 1907.
The embarrassment of that institution
was bad enough Of itself. But 1t came
at time when the breaking Of one
bank came perilously near producing
q panic in which many banks and
business houses must go down-to
the measureless damage of thousands.
1t was a time for men to help each
other; a time for business interests
% stand together in order to save
depositors from heavy loss.
Disastrous as a settlement of ma
terial discount would have been, it
was feared for time that 1t was the
best settlement that could be made.
And IL made, it certainly would have
resulted in widespread and ruinous
loss to thousands all over Oregon.
In that crisis Ben Selling promptly
came forward with a better offer He
proposed to take over the claims of
the deposltors at seventy-fve cents
on the dollar in good. solid cash, and
an additional twenty-five cents in mer-
chandise. 1t was absolutely equiva.
lent to a hundred cents on the dollar
every penny that was involved.
There was an instance of needed |
help promptly given. 1t averted a
and imminent panic. 1t
restored the general confidence in
banks and business houses. 1t abso-
utely insured depositors against loss.
It did more than any other one thing
% enable commercial Portland to ride
he troubled seas Of 1907-the most
dangerous period since 1895.
And it was typical OF Ben Selling.
I required financial resources, splen-
lid judgment Of conditions. and a sup
RIB confidence in the essential stabili-
y of his city and his state, and the
alrness of his fellow citizens.

WHAT BILL HANLEY
THINKS OF BEN SELLING

"Oregon for Oregon" Is the slogan
Of William Hanley, the picturesque
representative Of Central Oregon, who,
because Of his marked facial and ply
sical resemblance to William Jen-
nings Bryan, has many times been
mistaken for the thrice-defeated can
didate of the Democracy for the pres
idency. 1t is for the reason of "Ore-
gon for Oregon" and because Hanleys
views coincide closely with those of
Ben Selling, candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for United States
senator, that Hanley feels very friend
ly toward the candidacy of Selling.
