Be OBSERVED HERE

liminary to House to
House Campaign.

Next Sunday will be Thrift Sun
day and ministers will be expected
to touch upon the virtue of thrift in
their sermons. This will be prelimi-
nary to the opening of the house to

sale of thrift stamps, the organiza-
ton work for which has been under
way for several weeks.
1t is the plan of the committees to
sell thrift stamps at every home in
the county as a means of stimulating
the sale of the little stickers.
"Oregon is going to go over with
a smashing victory in the War Saw
ings Stamps campaign" says State
Director G. S. Jackson. I'VE are sure
of that much, but what we must do
in addition to raising our quota of
S17.OOO,OO0 is to SO inocGlate the men,
women and children of the state with
the thrift spirit that they never will
get over it. That's where the lasting
good, both to the Individual, the state
and the nation, is to be realized"

National Guard Units
May Lose State Flavor

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Army
officials believe the national guard is
destined to lose its state flavor. The
system of feeding troops from the
second line to the first to fill gaps
and from the third to the second line
will serve to mix up the distinctive
state unit until it's state character
will be finally practically lost. The
law demands that the state character
be maintained as far as possible, but
necessities of war may prevent.

New Members of the Federal Re-
serve Board

In the press Of great events on the
other side little attention has been paid
to the fact that notable vacancies are
to be filled in the Federal Reserve Board.
Mr.. Delano has resigned to undertake
war work in France, and Mr.. Warburg
may, on his own suggestion, retire at the
expiration Of his term, on August 8. If
he should do so, this would take from
the board its strongest two members.
There is very broad need that they
should be replaced by men of equal
strength and understanding.
1t is little realized that the five men,
bers Of the Federal Reserve Board, with
the two eX officio members, have
greater power over the business and
prosperity of this country than any other
set of men, Congress or the President
not excepted. To them it is given to
permit the indefinite expansion of our
vast credit system, without regard to it's
effect, or to exercise sane and helpful
restraint This board could, if it chose,
balloon our present credits to two or
three times their present size. We need
not expatiate upon the disaster which
would result.
Mr.. McAdoo is very busy man, John
Shelton Williams very uncertain and
emotional one. 1t will not be easy to
fill Mr.. Warburg's place nor find the
equivalent Of Mr.. Delano's conservative
influence. Among the names suggested
or proposed are those Of Benjamin
Strong, governor of the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York, and John Perrin, of
the Federal Bank in San Francisco.
Either would be an excellent choice. So
would j. S. Alexander, of the National
Bank of Commerce in New York, or
James Forgan, or George M. Reynolds,
of Chicago. Otto Kahn has all of Mr..
Warburg's broad grasp Of finance.
Among others who would serve ad-
mirably are Thomas w. Lamont, former
Controller Lawrence Murray, Joseph
Sartori, at the head of a great savings
bank in Los Angeles; George f. Wood
ruff, of Joliet, ILL.,, or Andrew J. Frame,
of Wisconsin. We should like to see
one of the vacancies filled by a man like
Professor Irving Fisher, of Yale, or Pro-
fessor E. w. Kemmerer, of Princeton.
There is clear call for men of this
type now.
