OREGON CITY, NOV. 5, 1897.
AS VIEWED BY A BANKER.
P. F. Crown, president of the Gales
burg na ional bank of Galesburg, 111.,
had the following to say recently in favr
of postal savings banks:
"Yes, I believe in postal savings banks.
There is a need in our country yes, an
absolute necessity that people should
be taught to make a judicious use of their
earnings; in other words, taught to save
money. This, like all other education,
should begin with the young. The postal
system would help in this, as it would
be in the reach of all and would afford
nny one, even the small children, an op
portunity to make a beginning in saving
something. It should be started on a
plan that will gather the waste money
that now never sees a bank. In this
way the penny is cared for until it gets
enough added to it to make a dollar, avl
from this it grows on until it reaches a
judicious investment a homestead and
loan asso( iation, a lot or a home started,
or something to which the owner at
taches a value. Then this person begins
to become something. Here ends our
anarchist and socialist and government
ownership, which so many are to day
advocating and of which so many are
afraid. The secret of saving is to make
a beginning. When this beginning is
made then there arrives something out
ter in the individual. The saving must
be used, invested, set to work. Out of
this grows the business habit, and out of
tins habit the man who develops and be
comes capable of managing it. Now, it
seems to me as a means to this end all
auxiliaries wo can advise that are just
and honorable should be used. Doings
things is contagious ami if this move
ment was once universal and became a
popular movement all would move more
in mat uireu ion anu in i me mignt. ue
come a national characteristic.
"No ; it is my opinion banks and bank
era as a rule are not oppose 1 to thepostal
bank system, and it is my opinion the
system in time would become an adjunct
of banking and business, just us in
church the Sunday school is a help to
the chureh not a competitor. We
should take a broad v ewof these thing,
not a selll sh one. Sollishnui-s hurts the
self in business as well as in morals.
Yes, for one you may put mo down for
, postal savings banks, and, as I said he
mic, when the time comes you will find
banks are not, as a rule, opposed to
them, as ihey will recognize in them an
adjunct of business of all kinds, and it is
out of increased business that banks
grow and prosper."
Tiik paper edited by our local member
of the railroad commission remarked re
cently. llut for the presence of the railro ul
commission there would be a material
increase in rates originating and termi
nating in O egon. fur instance, the
people of Pouglas county might be pay
ing from '.ill to L'N cents per hundred
again on grain and the products thereof
Iiisteail nt from 14 to 11) as at present.
It is indeed fortunate (?) that we have
this valuable railroad commission. Th
other day a resident of Hoseburg was
charged a freight rate of 2H cents a hun
dred on u few t ins of grain shipped from
Creswell, lame coui'ty, to IJoseburg, a
distance of about 110 miles. We infer
from Editor F.ddy'a line of reasoning
that but for fe.ir of the railroad coinmls
sinners, the S. 1'. Co., in the instance
alluded to, might have coullscated the
entire shipment for freight charges, and
taxed the unfortunate shippcra few bun
drod dollars besides. Yes, the railroad
commission is a great benelit to the peo
plo of Oregon ! Hoseburg Review.
iv the l nitetl Mates annexes the
Hawaiian islands it will add to its pos
sessions a country that in ono respect at
least is more civilized than itself.
Hawaii has in successful operation a
postal savings bank system. There is
n iw deposited with the poslal bank about
$1,000,001, which is a pretty god show
ing (or a country of lOO.rOO population,
mostly illiterate natives and foreign
laborers. If annexation of the islands
were to carry with it the exten-ion to
this country of the postal savings bank
system in oeration there, that would
bo a strong argument for annexation.

Now the Oanliy Independent askes
us to endorse his plan of instructing
delegates at primaries. We would glad
ly do so if they would not be instructed
to endorse some professional politican
instead of deserving cidzens from the
country. When the proper time comes
the Courier will expose the rascallity of
the office seekers, which the Independent
dare not do for reasons stated before.

Literary Note.
The Ovkui.and Monthly is advertising
extensively an interesting "Missing
Word Contest." The sentence they give
ia: "Tlir hitil iL-il iiwiiu frmn thf?
Iwii wtiiilrrt",it." This is taken from a
New England classic hj a writer whose
name is u household word. Theorize is
$1,0110, to be given to the person finding
i he correct answer, or divided among
the fortunate tinders if there are more
than one. The only condition is that
the guess shall be accompanied by one
dollar as a subscription to the Ovkki.and,
at its reduced price. This condition is
no hardship; lor the Ovkki.and at a
dollar is in itself a great big prize. Ten
cents sent its publishers at 8an Francisco
will bring a sample copy ami full
particulars of the contest. Recent num
bers are filled with beautilul pictures
anu interesting articles.
A gentleman went into llolman's to
buy some wall paper for his parlor and
looking through the many samples
found some patterns that were fine, de
cided upon one. "'What is the price of
that paper?" " cents per double
roll." "I'm afraid that is too cheap."
liut when it was explained how and why
it was sold so cheap, he took the paper
and was highly pleased.
