No Comment on Politics

Tn respect to the politics which entered into the killing of the governors meas ure, the chief executive declined to ex- press himself. As a matter of fact, it Is known that the governor regards the political significance of his defeat as en- tirely trivial.
 In this connection, it might be apropos to state that it is highly improbable that the governor will counteract his order to the treasury regarding the payment of warrants prior to the adjournment for recess. He was asked this afternoon when the lid would be lifted.
 ''If conditions continue to improve" he replied. "there is every reason to
 believe that we will be able to resume
 payments in three or four weeks. However. we are servants of the state
 who should be serving not for our
 financial gain. but principally through
 patriotism. Therefore, we should glad ly wait for our stipend until the com ing of the period in which Alabama
 will have discharged it's pressing ob
 ligations to outside markets
 Tn the meantime, one of the banks of the city is handling the warrants of leg isators, and the few who would other- wise be grumbling. are apparently sat isfed.

 The acceptance is the standard form oe paper in the worlds discount markets" it continues. By reason of it's being read fly marketable it is widely regarded as a most desirable paper in the seconcary reserve of banks and will help to provide an effective substitute for the call loan. It's growth. however, will depend upon ability of the American market to adjust it's rates effectively to those prevailing in other markets for paper of this class.
 Submit Rates for Approval
 Federal reserve banks may from time to time submit for the approval of the board maximum and minimum rates with in which they desire to be authorized to deal in acceptances; within such limits. and subject to such modified tons as may be imposed by the board. federal reserve banks will be allowed to estab. llsh the rates at which they will deal in acceptances.''
 The board says preferential treatment should be allowed on acceptanees bearing the Endorsement of member banks ana will sanction such a preferential, but roirts out that federal reserve banks which desire to purchase such paper not SC indorsed may do so. though they should restrict operations to acceptances bearing some other signature than that Of the drawer and acceptor, preferably a bank or banker"
 An acceptance, the regulations say, must bear or be accompanied by evidence satisfactory to a reserve bank that it originated in an actual bona fide sale or consignment involving an importation or eAportation of goods.
 ''In framing their policy with respect to acceptances, says the board. federal re- serve banks will have to consider not only local demands to be expected from their own members but also requirements to be met in other districts. The plan to be followed must in each case adapt itself to the constantly varying needs of the country

Panama Canals First Year

The Panama Canal started operation
under the handicap of the war as well
as under that other handicaps insep-
arabic from new undertakings, but its
earnings in the first year, from July /,
1914 to July /, 1915, exceeded ex-
penses by about $224,000, the earn
ings having been $4,424,306 and the
cost of operation and maintenance
$4,200,00O. This balance falls TAI
short of paying interest on the cost,
which, at 8 per cent on $500, 100000
would be $4,000, 900, but traffic will
doubtless increase this year and when
the war ends the estimate of $10,500-
900 a year made by Prof. Emery R.
Johnson for the first year may be
reached or exceeded.

State Invited to be Present
Reduced Rates

Governor Lister has issued a procla-
nation setting aside Saturday, August
81, as "Made-in-W Washington Day"
and calls for a statewide observance Of
the occasion by the purchase Of Wash
ington-made goods. I earnestly
recommend, says the Governor, that
the citizens of the state of Washington
in making their purchases, give special
preference to articles manufactured in
the state wherever such articles are
equal in price and quality to articles
manufactured outside the state and
offered in competitor, and I also urge
that similar plan be followed thruout
the year, TO the end that Washington
manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers
may have every possible assistance in
maintaining and increasing investments
and their volume of business, thus ma
terially adding to the development and
progress OF the state Of Washington.
The Made-in- Washington week. OF
which Saturday is the eliminating day,
will be deliberately celebrated in Seattle
from August 16 to 81 by the holding
of big industrial fair on a great out
door roof garden, the event to be held
under the auspices of the Manufactur-
ers' Association of Seattle. This will
be the largest exposition Of Washing
ton made goods ever held in the state.
one of the features Of this fair is to be
the erection Of a complete residence
and home on the roof garden, eleven
stories above the street. In its con-
struction and fittings will be repre-
sented practically every article for
home consumption that is made in the
state. Manufacturers from all over the
commonwealth will be invited to par
ticipate in the exhibit. During the
same week there will convene in Seat
tie nearly two thousand merchants from
every portion OF the Northwest, who
will visit this fair, and come especially
to attend the Northwest Merchants
Convention, to partake of a week OF
pleasure and profit in the discussion of
the business problems these merchants
have to meet.
