Whereas, we have appreciated the

interests of the state, and above all our
association with them is friends and
fellow workers,
Therefore, be it resolved, that we
express our sense of deep regret at
their departure and the loss thereby
sustaind by the educational interests
of the state, and that we extend to them
our best wishes for success in their
new fields of work"

PORTLAND, Jan. 30.-President A

house, was the principal speaker to-
|day in the regional bank hearing be-
fore Secretary of the Treasury Me-
Adoo and Secretary of Agriculture
Houston. At the conclusion of his ad-
dress setting forth Portland's claim
to regional bank, in answer to a
question by Secretary McAdoo as to
how Portland would overcome the
currency acts requirement for a cap
italization of $4,0O0,000 when the
northwest can only present about $2,-
100000 capital, Mr.. Mills said:
Il believe it is almost an insuper-
able obstacle. If we are able to show
We are SO situated as to- need a re-
serve bank, then the government
should help u.s." Mr. Mills stated that
letters received from bankers in
Idaho, western Montana

SUPPORTS THE PRESIDENT
Idaho Congressman Likes Wilson's
Trust Busting Scheme.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-"I am in
hearty accord with the recommends
tions for the punishment of the /
ficers of the corporation who are re-
sponsibIe for the infringement of ,he
law. rather than the imposition of
fine which must be paid by the stock
holders who are invariably innocent,
appeals to me most strongly" said
Congressman Smith of Idaho.
"The Imprisonment of some of the
trust magnates who disregard the
antitrust laws will be more effective
than fines which are paid out OF the
earnings. Tie proposed measures 70
curb the trusts cannot be regarded
as partisan legislation, as all political
parties realize the importance OF the
enactment of laws which will insure
the strict enforcement of the anti
trust laws, which were placed upon
the statute books over 20 years ago
by republican administration"

!PLAN EARLY
FOR,PAVING
PETITION WILL BE PRESENTED
TO COUNCIL All AN EARLY
DATE.
Believed ii Several Districts WOult
Unite, Most Unnecessary Expense
Would be Eliminated.

That several, if not many, new paw
ing districts will be created during the
coming months is indicated by the gen
eral and favorable interest shown in
the matter in many different quarters
of the city. In a short time the city
council will have up for consideration
a number of petitions now known to
be under way. Those soliciting sig
natures are not only not encountering
difficulties but in most cases are re-
ceiving warm encouragement. The ex-
perience of all citizens during the past
season has convinced the great major
ity of the benefits Immediately accrn>
| ing to a town from paving and of the
wisdom of increasing the amount oi
paving.
1t ie highly desirable that ali neigh
borhoods that wish to form paving
district should get their PETITIONS
signed and presented to the city co III
ell at the earliest possible moment
According to City Attorney Pickett. the
routine of putting through these mat
ters is more complex and requires Il
greater amount o. time IA ~ people
ordinarily realize. To put district
through requires seventy or more days
for the completion of necessary details.
If bonded election is necessary, at
least two full months are required.
BY handling a great number OF petit
tons at once, time and moaay could be
saved. 1t will not cost the taxpayers
as much to establish and take care
of the business of several districts al
once as it would if each one of them
came up for separate consideration ana
action.
During the next thirty days all per
sons interested in the question of eH-
tending the paved district should pre-
pare and circulate petitions among the
property owners concerned. These

due form. The tendency is for people
to wait until the summer months are
here and then ask for work to begin |
In order to have WORK
done during the summer months OF
this year it will be necessary to get |
all the papers in shape now during the |
winter season. Just because tne
streets can not be actually worked on
now it no reason why the districts
can not be created now. Mayor ClariS
and City Attorney Pickett are both
hopeful that the delay necessarily eX-
perienced in regard to paving the uni
versity district last season VIII make
emphatic the desirability of an early
beginning.
