It is designed to furnish a means of directing the incentive that exists in
 
 of all young men, however little am- bilious they may seem.
 Dr. w. c. Gillespie, a recent arrival from Nashville, Tennessee. and Marlin T. Phelps, former resident of that city, were influential in the formation of the association, for they had known of similar body that has done Nash vile a great deal of good With these two are a number of active workers, some of those whose names were gleaned from last nights meeting be- ing V.

SERVICE BOARD BUSY.
State Commission Handled More
Than 500 Cases in 1913.

The annual report of the public
service commission shows that more
than 500 cases have been considered
in the last year. An important new
branch of work was added by the
legislature, that of eliminating dan
gerouS existing grade crossings, and
the actual work of eliminating the
crossings will be taken up this year
Although the present work of the
commission has grown much heavier
with each succeeding year and is
taxing the time of each member, it
is proposed, in initiative measures
that have been filed, to add to these
duties all the work of the tax COM
mission and investigation of all cor
porations selling securities to the

Actual drilling on the prospect of
the Crescent Oil company's leases

acres between Tenino and Little
Rock have been placed under lease,
and every preparation made for the
sinking of several wells on these
leases to prove the district.

MANY ATTEND LUNCHEON
Democrats Hear Hanson Predict
Guarantee of Bank Deposits.

Branch banks at Seattle, Spokane
and Portland probably will serve the
Pacific Northwest to better advan-
tage than one regional bank at one
of the three cities, is the belief
State Bank Examiner w. E. Hanson
expressed in an address on the new
currency law delivered before the
Thurston County club of the Wash
ington State Democratic league at
the first weekly luncheon in this
city last Saturday noon. Some 60
Democrats of the city, including
many state officials and employees, at
tended this first luncheon.
Mr. Hanson said, among other
things:
There is no question but that we
are going to have a guarantee of de-
posits in the United States within a
few years. The people are demand
ing it and it is sure to come Be-
fore we do have a guarantee of de-
posits, l would like to see the feder-
al reserve act fully tried out and
become fully operative. We should
also have government control of
banks first. l do not mean govern
ment ownership but control of them
in such a way that certain individu-
ais could not control and operate
banks, which would be detrimental
in case we had guarantee of deposits.
Money has been offered within
the last thirty days for prime COM
mercial paper in our state at a rate
of 4 " per cent. This low rate is un-
usual and it has been long time
since such a remarkably low rate has
been suggested. The time of unus-
ually large dividends in banks has
passed into history and the so and
75 per cent dividends on bank stock
is practically over. The banking
business is adjusting and equalizing
ITSELF"

BUSINESS REVIVAL
EXPECTED BY EAST
INCU UESTIONABLY COMING, SAYS
Gen. HAZARD STEVENS. AND
THAT RIGHT SOON.

That business conditions in Bos-
ton and the Atlantic states gener-
ally are fairly good and that the gen.
eral expectation there is for a re-
vival of business and prosperity very
soon were statements made recently
by General Hazard Stevens, presi-
dent of the Olympia Light & Power
company, who has just come to
Olympia from Boston for a several
months stay here.
In response to the question, "How
are times in the East and what is
the feeling of the public generally in
regard to the business outlook"
General Stevens replied.
Times are fairly good in Boston
and in the Atlantic states generally
There was some hating Of business
gressional legislation on the tariff
and currency, but that is all past
and business men and even manufac-
turers feel relieved at, many even
regarded as very creditable to Presi-
dent Wilson and the Democratic
leaders in Congress, who are much
commended for the fair-minded con-
sideration they gave to the views of
their political opponents, especially
in the currency bill. The very bank
ers who bitterly opposed it at first
are accepting it and making the best
OF it. Senator John w. Weeks of
Massachusetts, a banker and Repub-
lican, actually voted for the bill"
Commenting on the business out
look, in response to the question,
do people look for rapid revival
of business?" General Stevens said:
"Unquestionably for revival, but
as to how rapid opinions vary. The
stock, market is improving, and that
is always a good barometer. But the
railroads are hard up, investors are
holding back, labor unions are eX-
acting, the Mexican internecine
strifes threaten trouble, and yet, not
Withstanding all these drawbacks,
the American hope and enterprise
are in the ascendant, and with the
wonderful production of this coun-
try are bound to bring another
period of prosperity and that right
soon"
General Stevens was in Boston
and the East during the period of
hesitation and left just shortly after
the turn of the year. which brought
with it the greatly improved feeling
in the business world generally as to
the prospects for 1914, so that the
statements made above come from
man whose information is first-hand
and they are therefore the most au-
thentic statements as to actual con-
ditions that Olympians have had.

RURAL CREDIT LAW
At THIS CONGRESS
PRESIDENT HAS PAVED WAY
FOR THIS LEGISLATION-
OPPOSES GRANGE,

Friends of rural credits legisla-
dent Wilson has set in motion the
forces to produce farm-loan law
during the present session of Con-
gress, and they expect that the rural
credits situation will begin to as
sumo definite form soon and that the
legislation can be put through both
houses without interfering with 9TH
er legislative plans.
The way has been cleared by the
presidents announcement that he
could not accept the plan of having
the government lend money direct to
the farmers. That plan had been
indorsed by the National Grange at
its last meeting and bills seeking to
make it effective are pending in both
houses.
President Opposes Plan.
The president objects to the bills,
claiming that the government ought
not to go into the money-lending
business to the farmers or to any
other class of citizens. The position
taken by the president means that no
such proposition as that embodied in
these bills can be put through the
two houses.
Without indorsing the phraseology
of any rural credits bill, the presi-
dent has let it be known that he ap-
proves of the introduction of the bill
framed by the commission which vis-
tied Europe last summer, which pro-
vides for privately owned banks OPP
Grating under federal charter and
subject to federal inspection. These
banks are to be established in rural
communities and their business to a
large degree is to be confined, under
the terms of the bill, to farm mort
gage loans. They VIII be permitted
to receive commercial and savings
deposits under strict limitations and
regulations. The business of these
banks is not to go beyond state lines.
May Suggest Changes.
The president has stated recently
to members of the rural credits COM
mission that he will feel quite free
from time to time to propose amend
ments which he thinks will help
make the bill satisfactory. He will
get together as much information on
the general subject as possible and
then proceed to apply it concretely
to the bill, preserving meanwhile an
open attitude.
1t is the desire of the president
that there be no hurrying of the bill
through either house. 1t is more
necessary to get a good bill through
than it is merely to get a bill
through, is the way he refers to this
phase of the situation. He believes
Congress ought to get hold of every
bit of important information that is
available.
