held last evening at the chamber
of commerce.

In a genral discussion of the
needs of the golf grounds, 1t was
proposed that the course be piped

greens in condition at all times.
Links Are Improved.
John j. Roberts, director and
chairman OF the finance commit
tee, reported that since the cam
paign for $40, 900 began last June,
he had received $8625 and had ex-
pended $842S in the improvement
of the golf links.
Discussing the country club and
golf links, Mr.. Roberts said:
1--WE intend to make the Illihee
Country club and golf links one
of the finest in the northwest and
we will continue our plans until
we have secured the $4,000.
I'VE have greatly improved the
links the past year and have built
cottage for the keeper that is a
credit to any country club. Our
club house, II built on present
costs of labor and construction,
would represent an investment OF
more than $4,000.
Seek New Members.
';All our improvements are per-
manent and 1t is the intention of
members of the Illihee club to
have club house and grounds
that will be a credit to the capi-
tai city,"
Yesterday members of the fl
nance committee visited Silverton
and Woodburn, looking into future
memberships. 1t is felt that in
each of the surrounding towns
there are several who will appre-
ciate the opportunity of playing
golf on up-to-date grounds like
that Of the Illihee club.

BANKS Get RICH

North Dakota Senator Tells
| How They Do It.
Washington, June 22.-'The grea

Washington, June 22.-'The great
majority Of business that has been
| conducted since the Inauguration of
the Federal Reserve system has not
been done with money, but with
bank credit" declared Senator E. F.
Ladd of North Dakota in a speech
here.
1.-The big banks have been able to
easily fool the people in making dis
tinction between money and bank
credit" said the junior Flickertail
state senator and he continued:
"Very few men who created debts
and make bank loans during the war
actually borrowed money. They paid
interest just the same, but the bank
er did not actually loan them money.
Don't Represent Cash.
when we pick up the papers and
read the various bank statements
and look at the statement Of deposits
and see that the statement says that
so many dollars are on deposit, that
does not mean that those deposits
represent cash. They do not. TO a
large extent they represent credit.
Let me illustrates: Mr.. A. walks
into bank and says to the cashier,
I wish to borrow $4,000. Here Is
my note properly indorsed, and it is
such a note as comes within the
provisions of the Federal Reserve
Act
THE cashier says to Mr.. A., Well,
Mr.. A.. do you wish this in cash or
| do you simply wish a checking ac-
| count?'
''Mr. A. replies that he simply
wants the note discounted and placed
to his credit on his checking account.
The loan is granted. The note is
| discounted, Mr.. A. is credited on the
books with the amount and he pays
his bills by check. His checks are
deposited by his payees in their va
rious banks-who are engaged in
the same kind of loa-4 transactions.
! Have Loaned No Money.
'These checks are then passed
through the clearing house and there
washed out by matching, or check
ing, them against eac:. ether and the
banks adjusting their differences in
cash.
| "The banks have not loaned
money. They have simply loaned a
book transaction, credit, and are
drawing interest on their system OF
bookkeeping.
1T is hardly probable that more
than S per centum of cash is re-
quired to adjust the differences OF
the banks in the Clearing House as

SUBSIDY BILL CLEARS ROAD FOR
SHAKE Down OF JUICY EARNINGS

BY Representative Edwin Il. Davis.
Can it be that the extraordinary
power and discretion given the Ship
ping Board under the provisions of
the ship subsidy bill account for the
3everish, unseemly activity in behalf
OF the bill by some members of the
Shipping Board?
This bill creates a merchant ma
rine fund" for the payment of the
voyage subsidies, (which shall be
subject to withdrawal by the United
States Shipping Board on acquisitions
approved by the chairman of the U.
s. Shipping Board" This fund is to
be derived from 10 per cent of our
custom receipts, which Chairman
Lasker estimated will amount to
about $30,O0O.O0O per annum; by
tonnage taxes, which he estimates
will amount to about 100000 per
annum. and by the amounts which
would otherwise be paid by carrying
the mails which he estimates at $5,-
O00,O00; making a total of $39.00O,-
900; and all Of which amounts the
secretary Of the treasury is directed
to pay into said merchant marine
fund, without any appropriation by
congress.
Chairman Lasker considers the in
direct aids provided for in the bill
to be of much greater value than the
direct aids,~as evidenced by his state
ment at the hearings on the ship
subsidy bill, as follows:
Happily the Shipping Board, aft
er long and careful study, came to
the conclusion that proper meas
ure of government aid to accomplish
the purposes in mind could only
come through the use of both direct
and indirect aids throwing the bur-
den on to the indirect aids.
Thus the burden of the aid is thrown
on the indirect. Thus the proponent
of indirect aid can have no occasion
to quarrel with the proposals; for
the shipping board recommends
every practical indirect aid possible
to give. Because Of the great
value it places on the indirect aid,
the Shipping Board figured a very
modest sum of direct aid"
Thirty Millions Modest Sum.
It will be noted that Chairman
Lasker figures s39,O0o000 per an
mum as "a very modest sum-" AS a
/ matter of fact. the amounts will be
considerably larger than he con-
cedes. Mr.. Lasker stated that he was
unable to give any estimate as to the
amounts that would be received by
the ship operators under the various
indirect aids.
Another direct charge on the pub
lie treasury is involved in the pro-
vision authorizing deductions from
net federal income taxes of per
cent of theh freight paid on goods
imported or exported in American
flag vessels, which Chairman Lasker
and the Shipping Board report esti-
mates would amount to about $10,-
100000 per annum. when the pro-

the banks to keep books. coupled
with an unjust privilege allowed
them under the provisions of the
Federal Reserve act, which permits
them to extend or contract such
credit almost at will.
1T has been the arbitrary exercise
of this sovereign function placed in

has wrought so much havoc during

Daily Newspapers
Again Selected

The marked success of last
seasons advertising in daily
papers all over the country has
resulted in The Globe Wernicke
Co., makers of sectional bookcases
and office devices, deciding upon a
repetition of that campaign
through their dealers and
branches.
The Globe Wernicke Co. found
that advertising in the local daily
paper, in cities where the goods
are on sale and where interested
! parties could see and buy the
goods, produced definite and sat
isfactory results.
And the public was better serv-
ed and benefited by having its at
tention called to modern and pro-
gressive devices and the local
dealer handling them.
The decision of this company
the largest of its kind in the world
is but one more strong endorse
ment of local newspaper adveltis-
ing.
