ROTECT PUBL
Careless and Fraudulent Use
of People's Deposits Would
Then Be Prevented.
UNSOUND BANKS "A. MENACE
Compulsory Publicity Is First Step
Advocated .by Benjamin I. Cohen.
Secretive Banking Methods
Are Dangerous.
To keep Mate banks from looting the
public through careless and fraudulent
use of the people's deposits, and to pro
tect solvent banks from the effects' of
such dishonest practices, the next Oregon
Legislature, one year hence, will be asked
to make a law for regulation of all pri
vate banks and supervision by a state ex
aminer, as in Idaho and California and
Eastern States.
Benjamin I. Cohen, president of the
Portland Trust Company of Oregon, is a
vigorous advocate of state supervision In
Oregon, to protect not only the public but
also honest banks, for wildcat" prac
tices Injure solvent institutions as well
as depositors. As Mr. Cohen's bank is a
private Institution, which would be super
vised, as well as the 8S other state In
stitutions that would be affected by a bank
ing lav, his opinion is of all the more
weight. The first and best remedy, he
says, is publicity as to the finances of
state banks, like that required by the
General Government of National banks.
Said he yesterday:
Xo Protection to Public Now.
"I am very strongly In favor of a tate
law regulating banks, and insuring pub
licity in connection with them. At the
present time jtherc Is absolutely no check
upon this class of business. Any individ
ual may put out a sign as a banker, and
by plausible statements, backed up by a
little good furniture and gilding, may en
trap the public into malting deposits with
him. whether he be solvent or insolvent.
"Private banking firms are at liberty to
use the money deposited with them in any
way they may see fit, either in speculative
enterprises or to further their private
ends, at the expense of depositors. Should
It be desired to evade all individual re
sponsibility, a corporation may be formed
with any capital stock that the parties
may see fit. and without having a dollar
paid in may begin business, and by liberal
advertising attract large sums of money
without any safeguards In the way of con
servative Investments to guarantee the
permanency of the Institution so formed.
"It has come, to my persona observa
tion, upon more than one occasion, that
banks which were utterly unworthy ot"
confidence have accumulated considerable
sums of other people's money. In some
instances they have failed, with most
disastrous consequences, and in other In
stances they have pulled through by rea
son of favorable circumstances, and aro
still in existence, and constitute a men
ace to the" sounder "arid more conserva
tively managed banks In the several com
munities whore these unsound banks exist-
Publicity Should Be Compulsory.
"I .believe that one of the most Import
ant features of the state law should bo
compulsory publicity. Then are today
in the City of Portland alone, some seven
banks or trust companies that do not
publish statements: In other words, there
is no way in which a depositor or any
other individual can tell whether those
banks are sound or unsound. Some of
them do business on a large scale and
have excellent reputations, but In about
fivp cases out of ten, where similar insti
tutions have failed, the unfortunate ones
had good reputations up to the day be
fore the failure was announced.
"Moreover, any bank that is not com
pelled to take the public Into its confi
dence becomes a menace to the com
munity, and to. all the other banks In
the community whenever a panic arises
with widespread "trouble in the financial
world.
Unknown Always' Terrible.
"The unknown is always terrible. Let
us assume a case: Suppose a panic is
raging and in the City of Blankvllle
there arc two banks, one of which is the
Stockmen and Farmers National Bank,
and the other Smith, Jones & Co. The
public becomes' suspicious of Smith,
Jones & Co., and begins a run. forcing
that concern to close its doors. The ef
fect of this is to put such a strain upon
the Stockmen and Farmers' National
Bank that in all probability it also Is
forced to close. Had Smith, Jones & Co.
been compelled to publish a statement,
and had the public been satisfied with
the nature of their assets. In all prob
ability, notwithstanding the panic, they
would have pulled through.
"If we analyze the banking situation in
Oregon, without seeking minute accuracy.
It will be seen that there were last Sum
mer the following number of banks that
were not required by any state or Na
tional authority to publish statements:
"One in Astoria, one in Baker City, ono
In Corvallls. two in Eugene, one in
Grant's Pass, one in Roseburg, two In
Salem; two .In Sllvcrton. one In The
Dalles and 70 In other parts of the state.
State Examiner Next.
"I believe that after a law has been
passed, forcing publicity upon private
banks and state banks In general, the
next step should be to give a state exam
iner or r state bank commissioner some
reasonable powers to veto unwise Invest
ments, or to -require any impairment of
capital, arising therefrom, to be made up
within a limited time, either by new cash
or by the reduction of the capital stock.
"I think it would not be wise to enact
too elaborate a law. but under our pres
ent system too much opportunity Js af
forded for carrying on loose. Irregular
and unsafe methods of banking in the
State of Oregon."

from the ravages of the wild Yaqul In

Representations are expected to go to

they have been proceeding against the

Intruders. The Transvaal Company Is

"Colon today is mainly a swamp. Into

this population Is compelled to sleep.
There is no water at Colon save this
swamp water and what can be collected
by the dripping from the roofs of the

common knowledge.
"Mr. Taft can hire hundreds of poli

until he procures a respectable engineer

here in three years started on Malambo
street, but was practically under control
at 2 P. M., after burning two blocks, in
habited by the poorer classes.
There Is much indignation against the
sanitary department, owing to the fact
that, according to current reports, the fire
was caused by the carelessness of em
ployes of that department in fumigating
the houses where the flames started. The
buildings burned include two public
schools and an orphan asylum.

NEW YORK, Jan. 12. Dr. Tong, spe
cial representative of the Chinese govern
ment for the investigation of commerce,
declared last night at the Men's League
Club dinner that the Chinese boycott of
American goods rose from the Chinese
exclusion act, and showed that the Chi
nese people were determined to assert
their dignity as a nation. He also as
sailed the laboring class for its opposi
tion to a reform of the anti-Chinese laws,
and declared that they were kept In force
simply because our representatives feared
for their seats in Congress.
"How much longer," he asked, "arc the
American people to allow themselves to
be dictated to by the laboring clement?"
Dr. Tong paid a high tribute to the
American missionaries, but said .the

that an exhaustive study of the Chinese
coolie question has convinced him that
Chinese labor Is necessary for the devel
opment of that country.
"Tho Chinese,"' tho bishop says. ''are
well treated and are well behaved. The
cry everywhere on both coasts is for more
labor, and good Judges claim that South
Africa In its mines and other enterprises

in the next year."

that the exporters were exacting from 10

short-weight scales, unfair grading and
general thievery. All of the exporters In
