whenever any of the proprietors felt
the need OF any loose change to the
amount of a few thousand dollars he
went to the bank and took what he
wanted without giving any note or Sc

Siegel himself, the receiver said,
borrowed s754,191 without security

$4,000 shares of the common stock

The hearing was held up by the
senate committee to get testimony for
use in revising the state banking
laws in relation to the privileges OF
private banks The whole days ses-
sion was spent investigating the az
fairs of the bankrupt Siegel enter
prises. Melville said the transactions
he described were legal under the
present laws, but admitted conditions
were unfortunate"
The Siegel bank, according to the
receivers testimony, had deposits OF
$2,550,333, distributed among 10000
customers of the Fourteenth street
store in this city. Melville said that
this money was loaned also to the two
Siegel stores in New York and the
one in Boston. The actual assets OF
the bank, he said, were $4,000 In
cash, $4,000 in banks and cash
bond of 100000
Melville said that since he had been
appointed receiver he had made sew

without success.
Two involuntary petitions in bank
ruptcy against Henry Siegel/ ano
Frank E. Vogel, co-partners and indi

were filed in the federal court by
three depositors in the private bank
connected with the Siegel store. and
by creditors who claimed money due
them for merchandise. No federal re
ceiver was appointed, although re
quest for one was made by the first
three petitioners, who alleged that
the company made preferred pay

While members of the committee
talked with the president some weeks

The bills, drafted as result of the
conferences between Chairman Clay

chairman of the trust subcommittee,
and Representatives Floyd OF Arkan
sas, Mccoy of New Jersey and others
cover these three main points:
Interlocking directorates.
Trade relations and prices.
Injunction proceedings and damage
suits by individuals.
In every case President Wilson 8
ide', Of providing penalties for indi-
viduals as well as for corporations in
case of violations has been followed.
1t was decided that 1t would be bet
ter to draft number Of bills instead
of Incorporating all the antitrust prop

An attempt to define combinations
and conspiracies in restraint OF trade
as far as possible has been made in
the bills already prepared.
The bill to inhibit interlocking di-

the three. 1t deals not only with banks

For a Greater Salem

rounded ON all sides Dy streams that
will light the city and furnish power
for all purposes. And it can be used
as means of building up the city in
every way. If we have cheap power to
offer manufacturers they will locate
their factories here. We can in that
way furnish pay rolls that will in
crease the value of our property, lower
taxes and keep our citizens employed
the year around at profitable labor
AT the present time We are paying
interest on an investment of $375,0OO
simply for city lights alone, not count
ing lights for all the houses and stores
state buildings and the amount that is
used for power purposes.
This is on an investment far more
than it would cost the city to buy Il
water right power site, install the
necessary plant and carry the power to
Salem.
The city can sell far more than
enough to pay operating expenses and
own its own plant which will gradually
pay for its self by creating a sinking
fund and at the time the bonds are
due, meet them and have a plant that
will help reduce taxation instead Of
as at present taking $4,000 a year to
pay their street light bill alone. Its
time the city got busy and installed a
plant as within a few years the desir-
able power sights are going to be taken
and the city will have to pay a high
price for what they can get now at a
very low valuation. / trust that the
proper steps will soon be taken so that
this work can be finished and we will
then regret that we had not long ago
installed our own plant and saved the
large sums we have been paying private
companies.
Our city is as prosperous as any city
in the Northwest today, new homes are
going up everywhere our school census
shows several hundred new students
every year and goes to prove that the
city is forging ahead at all times.
Salem is going to have another large
school house the coming year and it
will only be very short time until
the High School will need charging or
by the addition of Junior High
School.
This all shows a very healthy condi.
tiOn in the business life Of the city and
goes to prove that if we all work to-
gether and boost for Salem and Salem
resources, il will bring the results we
all desire,

Christmas time is here. The time of
happiness and good cheer for all. As
one of the incoming officers of the
city will try and state briefly what the
new administration hopes to accom-
plish.
1t is the hope of the new officers to
give sane and satisfactory govern
ment for the coming year. To try and
treat every one so that they will feel
that we have treated them right, played
no favOrites and given every one a
square deal.
There are no large projects ahead in
the usual business of the city. The
city has been paved until there are
very few streets left to be paved that
are able Ostand the cost.
We have some money to install sewers
and trust to commence work as soon as
possible after the first of the year SO
as to give employment during the win.
ter months to those that need it and
give them chance to support them,
selves and families as they desire.
The voters of the city have entrusted
to the city officials all the work OF
laying sewers and building streets
bridges, etc, believing that the city
can do the work as cheaply and in a
more satisfactory manner than under
the contract system.
There is also, one strong benefit by
having the city do the work and that
is that home labor can be employed
keeping the money at home and giving
it to those that support the city and
make their homes here. Under the
contract system, the contractor EN-
ploys who he pleases and it makes nc
difference who or what they are as
long as he can secure them at the low
est possible wages This often works
n great hardship on our local men who
need the employment and are entitled
to it,
There are a few things Salem needs
and needs badly and that is its own
water and electric light systems.
If Salem had bought the water works
here at the commencing of the agita.
tion for city ownership few years ago
the profits that the company have made
during that time would have gone q
long way towards paying for its cost
Salem is never liable to secure the
best of water and proper service unit
the city does own and operate its owr
plant.
Oregon has the most natural power
sites of amy state in the Union today
and thp least deVelOped. Salem is sur
