THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, '-DECEMBER 24, 1904.-- 12 GAVEL FOB MEGLER Speakership Contest Looks Easy for Him. FOE OF NO PRIVATE INTERESTS Pierce County and Spokane Will Not Allow King Delegation to Organ ize House, and Canneryman Has Best of Chances. SEATTLE, Wash.. Dec 22. (Special.) J J. Megler. of Brookfleld. State Repre sentative from Wahkiakum County, t i ouid "wta the speakership contest. That Is the way the problem is working- out, a . 1 Megler's position Is becoming stronger c h day. V.n of the Senatorial candidates Is ng enough to organize the House a re and danger exists In drawing the SIfcht 'into the speakership contest on a between two or more of the candi dates to dlsponae House patronage. The I gical solution Is the election of a Speak- , whose hands are not tied, and the drift f sentiment L in that direction. But wvrther sentiment prevails or not; cir cumstances are strong enough almost to mpl such a solution. ' Hi most formidable Senatorial candl ca'p is probably C. S. Gleaeon of King i.nty. That he is so is due to the .fact trat Gleason has a home delegation of 17 at the start and he has picked up a small c tslde following. This is not to say that o.rason the strongest candidate, for f- i a statement does not harmonize with the declaration that Megler will probably win. But Gleason is purely a Senatorial candidate for Speaker. McCoy Is willing c. 1 even anxious to mix Senatorial poli tics in his ftght. and C. I. Roth might be- me a factional representative. Thus far M'gier is freer than anyone else from S natorial entanglements, and therein lies Jus strength. Spokane Favors Megler. While the Spokane delegation has not ;-P!i t specific statement of lta position . the speakership, individual expressions 'ivr Megler. Those members of the Sp-kane delegation who have talked ff airship favor his election, and the 3 "vantage of such men is strong enough t t k-arly indicate the drift of the delega te. I'ierce "County has been holding off to gp McCoy a chance to make good, but trrre is an undercurrent of Megler sentl- it that will be strong enough. at the jt "per time to throw the delegation to tv Wahkiakum County man. Megler followers have a small Southwest " .'te. Megler counts upon the support of tli' Ankeny men in the Legislature, and there is a disposition to concede this. Managers of other ambitious statesmen a -kowledge that Megler has the call on tVc Ankeny eupport. An outline of the situation indicates where Megler can pick up the vote that ho needs to insure his election as Speaker. It le not to be conceived that Pierce and Spokane, for -instance, will allow Piles and thp King County . delegation to organize the House. Neither delegation could win without outside help, and this would not be forthcoming on a Senatorial line-up. Is Oldest Member. There is another side to the Megler fight that makes it promising. Megler is the oldest member of the Legislature, having served in seven of the past eight sessions since statehood. He is a good parliamen tarian and fair in his rulings. He ex pedites business when in the chair, and this will count strongly. In the House there is a good following of men determined upon a business ses jFicn, and this vote Is naturally Interested In a fair organization of the House. With no Senatorial candidate strong enough to win alone, the disposition will be to use this vote as a safety valve and elect a Speaker who will keep his hands off the contest. Of course the Speaker must vote fr some candidate, but if he eliminates Senatorial politics from the make-up of the committees this is all that can be ex peeled. Megler is satisfactory to the railroad commission forces, for he has voted with them in the past. There is no objection to him on the part of the railroads. Megler Ik under pledge to the lumbermen and he Is himself Interested In the fishing busi ness So far as private interests are con if mod he doeo not hit any one. Need for Savings' Bank Legislation. PORTLAND, Or., Dec 23. (To the Ed! t'r. I 'have road with much Interest thr- communication from Mr. R. Koerner, of Oregon City, as printed In The Ore gonlan of December 17, pertaining to sav ings banks. In this Article he speaks of the good laws governing and the large use made of such institutions In the East ern states where the people have con' 15denec in them. It seems to me a little remarkable that our banks themselves fcave not made an effort to have such laws as lie refers to enacted in this state, and thus, by Increasing the confidence of the people, enlarge their business and Increase their profits. Only yestorday r?ad, in a late paper, an account of a man being murdered and his hoard of ?K in gold being stolen. There are many such hoards, large and small, that should be in use by being deposited In savings banks where the money would be earning Interest and be loaned to some person desiring to buy, improve or build a home. There are many such hoards hidden away whore they are never found on account of the death of the owner, who is the only person having knowledge of their location, or they are consumed by fire, and in either case are entirely lost to the world. But can we blame the people for this jacK ot connaence as matters now stand, what can the average bank de positor. jr even the best business man. find out about the actual condition of any of our banks, except, it may be, the Na TJonal banks? They might even be Insol vent, aad who except the managers (who might be the greatest rascals in the com munlty) would or could ba the wiser Surely their own Interests' require the bankers to have a law enacted providing for examination and publicity. The ex amlnatlon should be rigid and thorough and the character of the securities and investments should be restricted. I be Jieve our bankers would favor such a law if their attention were called to the bene fits, and would gladly co-operate with Mr. Koerner or any other person who will take the Initiative in the matter of fram ing a bill to be presented at the forth coming session of our Legislature. But there should be no time lost If we are to consult tho laws of other states and get the benefit of their experience. I have no doubt any of our "competent legisla tors" would gladly introduce such a bill, but who will prepare It? The bankers of Portland owe It to themselves to have such a law enacted, for the purpose also of counteracting the effects of the bank failures In the past, the victims of which are still quite nu merous and very bitter toward all sav ings banks. This is actively operating to keep money out of our savings banks. It is not necessary to create a new office of bank examiner, as the number of savings banks is quite limited. It might be added to the duties of the State Auditor, or some other officer, now, or to be, provided by law. Lot us hear from our bankers and our dally papers and our various organiza tions on this subject. Let us have a committee from some of them to draft a suitable bill, then have It enacted into law, and be up to date. I have been tola that Oregon Is -the only state in the Union .-without such a law. . j. v. Jiwnuu DAILY STATISTICS. Marriage Licenses. Abel McKay. 26; EIU abeth Davis, 20.

Atlantic Liners Will Soon Be Able to Make Port. LONDON, Dec. 23. The fog Jn London practically disappeared this afternoon before a western breeze. Reports from the coast show a continuance of the dislo cation of traffic. According to a tele gram om Liverpool at 10 o'clock this morning the White Star lino steamers Oceanic and Cedrlc were still fog bound in the Mersey. Tho vessel said to be the Hamburg- American line steamer Pretoria, reported last night with others as being fog bound In the Mersey, was not the Pretoria, but was the Allan line steamer Pretorian, bound from Liverpool for St, John, N. B. The Pretoria, having Mr. Chadwlck, of Cleveland, O., .and his daughter among her passengers," was last reported leavlns Bolognc-sur-Mcr December 18 for Now York, and Js due at the latter port De cember 2S or 29.

Kansas City Journal. The funniest things Imaginable come out of Kansas. The Jpurnal Is In re ceipt of a note from a'Topeka woman in which she says she wishes to pro test "against the growing immbdesty of the age" Her grievance Is that the Independent Magazine of last week a religious and moral guide contained the picture of a Samoan belle so classi cally decolette In attire that her waist band was also her necktie.

SEVENTH AND ANKENY STREETS. PORTLAND. OREGON. gf the country says It is not indecent. It really is a question of conception, not of fact. For example, what is known as Library Hall in Topeka is filled with nude statuary, mostly the gift of Edward Wilder, secretary and treasurer of the Santa Fe Railroad. Recently some of the good women of the town used the hall for a meeting of some, character. They were shocked at the appearance of so much marble and plaster nakedness, and they worked all the afternoon putting aprons and other drapery on the stat ues. Before the meeting took place Mr. Wilder happened along. When he saw what the women had done he be came very Indignant and tore away the draperies which the women had so carefully arranged. "They made those statues positively Indecent," declared Jlr. Wilder. "X never saw anything so sutrgestlve In all my life." DAILY METEOROLOGICAL REPORT. PORTLAND. Dec. 23.
