for their own selfish purposes.
1t is significant that the complaints
should be made against the smaller
outside banks rather than against
the bigger institutions in Wall street.
Meny speeches were made in Con-
Press I'm the course of the currency
reform fight to the effect that the
control of Wall street over the small
er banks must be broken.
The big institutions, however, al
most invariably rise to a sense of
their responsibility in any national
emergency. The big banks were the
ones that financed the foreign debt of
New York city, and are the ones that
are now raising the gold pool for the
financing of other American debts
abroad. A recent investigation by
the Treasury in New York disclosed
the fact that the big banks there have
not been guilty Of the practice against
which complaint is now made with
reference TO the outside banks.
What the smaller banks need is a
/ higher sense of public duty. They
must realize that they have a public
duty to perform that they are under

A REAsSURINC STATEMENT.

THAT statement issued Thursday in behalf of the
Revised Code Commission unquestonably has
had reassuring effect upon the public mind.
Through IL the commission took the public into its
confidence II showed Just what It has done in the
way OF codlfying old legislation and also what new
legislation It will recommend should be enacted by the
Legislature at it's impending special session.
Persons who read that statement doubtless feel that
while it would be unwise for the Legislature to exer-
else undue haste in approving what the commission
has done recommends should be done It would be
equally unwise for it to delay unnecessarily the per-
formance Of an exceedingly IMPORTANT piece of work
The public is sorey in need Of the new Revised
Code II will be particularly useful to members Of
the legal profession in this and other States The
It is adopted printed and circulated, in proper
FORM the better It will be for the public. Time should
be allowed however. following the submission Of the
commissions report, for experienced men to examine
the changes made and that the commissioners,
who lay claim to infallibiiity have made no mis-
takes.

President Wilson's Mexican policy
is subjected to another rude test by
General Villas declaration of war
against the government of General
Carranza. That declaration is an
ominOus response TO Mr.. Wilson's or
der Withdrawing the American forces
now in Vera Cruz. Trouble has been
brewing between Carranza and Villa
for several months past, but the lat
ter craftily withheld his revolution
until transports had been dispatched
from Galveston to bring General Fun
ston's army of occupation back 10
the United States. General villa has
had many opportunities to study the
Wilson Mexican policy at first hand,
since an agent OF the State Depart
ment, in the person Of Consul George
C.. Carothers. has attended him in all
his recent campaigns. His interpre-
tation of the famous programme Of
'.watchful waiting" seems to be that
il is designed merely 10 facilitate the
elimination of one military dictator
by another. leaving order, security
and the property interests of Ameri-
cans and other alien residents to sink
deeper and deeper into the abyss
such is the view of a slightly re-
formed bandit and practical soldier
like pancho Villa. But, looking back
at the facts and noting the coinci-
dence Of the withdrawal order and
the new insurrection, is il possible
to maintain any other view? Has
Mr.. Wilson's policy ever struck deep
er than the elimination of a person
ality? Has il ever drawn the proper
distinction between intervening with
the object Of Withholding recognition

BAKER EDITOR POINTS TO
PROGRESS OF PENOlETON
1. b. BOWEN, VETERAN NEWSPA.
PERNIAN, ENTHUSES OVER
ROUNDUP CITY.

Under the headline "Pendleton is
Progressive" I. B. Bowen, veteran
editor of the Baker Democrat who was
here several days ago. pays this city
the following tribute in his paper:
with the construction of a gravity
water system under headway to cost
upwards Of $250,000 and other inn
provements public and private soon
to be carried out, indicates a progress
sive spirit at Pendleton that speaks
volumes in praise OF its people. The
writer had the pleasure of a brief
visit to the Roundup city few days
ago and was pleased to see the op-
timism expressed by the residents of
that thrifty town. And this optim-
ism is well founded, since there is
everything to impart confidence on
the part of the people.
During the past few years the city
has improved wonderfully. Its paw
ed streets have had most to do with
its improved appearance and prop
erty owners are not through with this
expense. Instead of crying about the
cost of paving, the work is to go OH
to a considerable extent this year. Ce.
ment sidewalk building. also, is to ex-
tend all over the city.
"An enlargement Of the Hotel Pen

done the city will have one of the
