Business and professional men of the state, almost without exception,! express themselves as well pleased j with the passage of the currency bill. Business men In Pendleton are un-j anlmous In agreeing that the pass age of the currency bill will remove a source of much worry to business conditions. "The passage of the bill, releasing as it docs the uncertainty of legisla tion, will have a wholesome effect upon the whole county," said O. M. Rice, of the First National bank, and his opinion Is voiced by many here. W. L. Thompson, of the American National bank, said: "While the real effects of the bill will not be notice able In the country districts for some time, the fact that Congress has taken definite action cannot but re sult beneficially. It removes doubt from the situation. The bill as I v"v it has been made Into a good ieon Cohen, merchant, aald: "Un questionably the passage of the bill will prove of great benefit to busi ness generally and confidence which has been held In abeyance will be re stored. I believe the bill Is one of the greatest pieces of constructive legislation ever passed by congress, and to Wilson I give all honor.y Bankers Are Satisfied. MAnsHFlELD. Ore.. Dec. 22. Asked regarding the effect of the passage of the currency bill, Hugh McLaln, president of the Marshfleld Chamber of Commerce, said: "I have given the matter consider able study and I think that the pass age of the currency bill will stim ulate business wonderfully In this locality, as well as In other parts of the country.

"I think the country has been pre paring itself for the passage of the currency bill like the tariff, and 1 do not anticipate any disturbance." Ij Grande I In I.lno. LA GRANDE, Ore., Dec. 22. Fred J. Holmes, president of the La Grande National . bank, aald: "I think the passage of the bill will be to better conditions throughout the Interior of the state generally. Such towns as La Grande, Pendleton, Baker and others of the same size will be bene fitted by reason of the fact that re serve accounts will not have to be held In Chicago, New York and other money centers, where they frequently become tied up in such a manner that we cannot get them when we need them. The utterances of Senator Chamberlain express my sentiments on the matter exactly. These region al banks will do away with the pos sible handling of western money. BuKlnefi Is very good." Haker Is Optimistic. BAKER, Ore., Dec. 22. Comment ing on the passage of the administra tion currency bill by the senate, Fred P. Bodlnson, president of the Clti-j zens' National bank, commended tne measure as one that will be of great benefit to the entire country. Ex-Dlstrlct Attorney W. S. Levens expressed the belief that the change In conditions to be wrought by the new bill will result In a better gen eral condition of the country's fl-j nances. ; Louis Fernald, capitalist. Baker Loan & Trust company, said: "Peo ple have been worrying too much about whether or not the bill woald pass. Our business showed It, but as a matter of fact, bank patrons of eastern Oregon, now that the meas ure will become a law, feel much as they did over the wool tariff. That measure was heralded as a 'bug-bear' and 'business destroyer.' when act- ' ually In force had no such result. The ' general effect should stimulate busi ness generally, to what extent only trial of the experiment will show." Ha Long Been Needed. THE DALLES, Ore.. Dec. 22. Relative to the passage of the cur rency bill, J. C. Hostetler, cashier of French & Co., bankers, said: "The currency bill Is a step in the right di rection and business dealings will necessarily have to be made to con form to the new system." Fred W. Wilson, attorney at law and former district attorney "1 have not had an opportunity to ex amine the amendments to the new currency bill and especially In view of the many amendments made no one can predict In advance how Its provisions will work out, but anything which will relieve the present uncer tainty in financial circles is a fore runner for good. If its provisions do not prove the proper solution they will have to be changed to suit con ditions, that's alt In the meantime some progress will have been made and the new bill will prove the en tering wedge." rbCllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllliiilililiiillliliiiiiiiiiiillifiiiiiiiiffiiiiiiilfiuilIIIIIIISiltIllltllfllflf lltlitiilltllllllllll flllllllfltllllllllflllltllllllllllltliiiiiitllllllll sr EEiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiimiiiiiiiHiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiimiiiiHm iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiibiiiiiaiiaiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir:: ..iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiii: mrs lira w nmuwjinniiiiiiiuirtamnniaiinuH5SBasa : :v.v; 1 8v.vJ Freeze Lighten the Housework A plain iron link returns ray little for the effort spent upon it A few minutes spent in cleaning i 'Standard white enameled suik and you have a veritable beauty spot of radiance.

Patterson, hardware deal er, said: "I think the passage of the currency bill will be of benefit to the country- Farmers especially will bejs benefited by the new law. The abll-j; Ity to get money at an easy rate o!2 I interest will cause more extensive Im provements to be made by the farm ers, and they will add to their live stock, farm machinery, and buildings and will clear more land. The busi ness men of the towns will also be benefited inasmuch as they will be able to borrow at short notice with out paying exorbitant Interest. I be lieve the law will prove to be a good one." Readjustment Will Follow. ASHLAND, Ore., Dec. 22. Bert R. Greer, editor Ashland Tidings "Agi tation, rather than the provisions of the new currency measure has brought about unsettled conditions In business lately. With the passage of the bill, the course Is fixed, and busi ness will speedily adjust Itself to the new conditions, and become normal. Expansion will set In only after re adjustment Is complete." Prais the Administration. ALBANY, Ore., Dec. 22. E. H. McCune, of Chambers & McCune, said: "It appears to be the consensus of opinion among business men that the senate currency bill Is a merit orious measure, and that it was drafted because of a sincere desire on the part of the administration to remedy existing financial conditions. The early passage of the tariff and currency bills, and the settlement of these questions has done much to clarify the financial situation. The outlook for 1914 la encouraging to business Interests." William Bain, president of the Al bany State bank, said: "The pass age of the currency bill Is a step In the right direction. When properly adjusted, It should mean great ad vancement In the financial condition of the United States." Fine For Ilood River. ' HOOD RIVER, Ore., Doc. 22. Hood River business Interests expect Immediate beneficial results in the passage of the currency, bill. R. B. Bennett, editor Hood Rlvei News, said: "if passage of currency bill has tendency which I believe It will, toward removing . the present financial stringency, Its effect upon business conditions Is sure to be prompt and salutary. Because It Is framed along safe and conservative lines, It promises to be one of the most beneficial acts of the present administration. Provisions for loans upon farm properties should be par ticularly welcomed by the agricultural communities of the country, of which Hood River Is one." ass sss Sss 3SS Yourself Presentabl e see Era At Christmas every mans wish is to show himself at his best -that being the matter of his personal appearance as well as the unselfish side of his nature.
