Aa Mr. Vanderlip Is at the had of
what 1 gtrsra!ly known a the Kocfce
feller Sank and makes millions of dol
lars In loans yearly-, his remarks re
garding the financial condition of the
country wera listened to with a treat
deal of attention. During bia talk be
spoke plainly to the bankers and told
thena what could bo expected la case of
a panic
Money Center Xcrvous.
"Vfy trip of flee weeks, corerlnf thou
sands of ml!ee. said the speaker, 'has
been extremely Interesting. When I left
New York, affairs wera satisfactory.
There was easy money In toe market
and the supply of money waa food- All
alone try line of travel I found things
In admirable shape, all except tha wall
Ins; for something to happen. And tha
"something to happen' consists of tha ju
dicial developments. The crops are In
capital shape and reai'.y. on the whole,
a are In food, sound, financial condi
tion. "In New Tork we are, afraid of your
politics your radicalism but aa I ap
proached you and mixed with your citl
senahtp. your liUUon did not have
tha 'danger sting to It that I looked
forward to. I am coins back reconciled
with the situation.
"Mr. Wilcox has tendered the sugges
tlon that If there Is a way to get bankers
to loan money cheaper. It would be a
good thins; and one that would delight
the borrower like himself. I believe that
1 can point the way. Our National bank
system Is. In many respects, crude, un
economic to the monetary needs of the
country and positively barbaric
Keller Sorely Needed.
"In my trip across tha country I found
that there waa a general feellnr of do
ing somethlnr to relievo our banking sys
tem. In Texss there Is a rood sentiment
for a chars. But I found so little known
of tha baric prlnelplea which Involve the
proposed chances that U seems as If the
only bopa for Its success rests In the
proper education of the voters. The panlo
of 1WT waa the most useless thine m
hare ever experienced. It brought glar
Inrly to the front the necessity of re
forms In aur .monetary legislation.
"Our banking system would bring ruin
upon any country less rich than ours In
natural resources. It Is system In whlcn
an Institution can never pay Its debts In
tiroes of trouble, although lt may be
strictly solvent. Did It ever occur to you
that hardly any of tho loans made to
day are the correct kind of loans? They
are loans which will not liquidate them
selves, and for a bank to make any loan
that will not eventually, by the opera
tion of a commercial law. liquidate Itself
Is unscientific (nd dangerous.
Self-Liquidating- Loans Needed.
"Cnder tha provisions of the Aldrlch
Mil. banks will be placed In the right
position to make the right kind of loans,
which will bo eelf-llquldatlng.
One of the principal thoughts ex
pressed by the speaker waa that If the
Aldrlch bill, which la only In tho form
f,f suggestion and 'not even indorsed
by the monetary rommtseton up to tha
present time, became a law It would pull
some of the teeth of Wall street by
taking from It the opprtunlty to secure
call loans of several hundred millions.
"Bank do not look with fsvor upon
loans made to Wall street for speculac
tlve purposes but It Is the only door
opea to the banker because of tha luck
of place to Invest In onll money or In
paper which ran b liquidated upon .a
moment's notice. It Is your barkers
and the bankers of tha ntlr country
w ho send their money down to New York
la secure interest upon It and af the
Mm time place It so that It Can he
recalled upon a moment's notice. To
keep this Urge sum In active service
and In a petition to call at a moment's
notice the New Tork banker Is almost
compelled to loan It to tha Wall-street
msa upon sound securities.
Relief la Sight.
"Tha National City Bank lias n.ftttM'
of this character of loans. Now If tho
Aldrlch bUU with its provision for tha
establishments of Discount Centers,
were a law it would relieve this s.tua
tioa and pnt In more active us- and In
tha strictly commercial circles from liX
to VfW .. Thle would be of
enormous benefit to commerce.
"Hare Is) a remedy provided for Just
such tnea as you. Study tha situation
and Insist that your Congressmsn and
vour Henstors pass the Aldrlch bill. In
Texas I found a very strong sentiment
for tha bill snd I really believe that
they will Indorsa It and vote .for It In
Congress. Of course we have a Iemo
ocratlc Congress but I do not believe
that will have any euect. This bill Is not
apolitical measure. It Is for tha benefit
of tha patrons of tha banks of tba coun
try. It k an almost unthinkable situa
tion t!t every National bank In tha
I'nlted States moat run to cover and pro
tect Itself whenever there Is a tiny cloud
upon the bortson. It cannot touch its
surplus In time of trouble. And there
are of threw banks seeking cover
at tha same time, each ona hoarding up
Ita surplus so that the pinching prograas
grows tighter and tighter.
Reserve Association Necessary.
In tha Aldrlch bill era to be found
the essentials which will brine rel.ef.
Py creatine a reserve aaociaton with
U branches, the bead to be In the Na
tional Capital, a great fund would be

keep In lta vaults a portion of tha money
which It now keeps In Its own vaults
for protection. It would operate only on
'tUl- money. In tba matter of Discount
Oknters. the law provides where the
banker may take b.a notes commercial
, ones of short time o the Discount Orn
tsr and receive cash for tha asm. It
wonld liquidate r.!s paper and In that the
Wall-street speculators would suffer."

to New Tork In tha course of a week
or two.

NEW
FENDER
LAW
VETOED BY MAYOR
Executive Sees Probability of
Hidden Purpose to Legal
ize Freight Cars.
PEOPLE TO BE CONSIDERED
Fact That Fender Company and
Railway Hare- Adjusted Differ
ences la Secondary Extension
of Time Not Guarded,
a?
MA YOB SDtOVS RXASOS FOR
VETOING FENDER ORDINANCE.
It abounds In whereases and re
citals and aeta forth that the present
type of fender In use on lines of the
Portland Railway. Light Power
Company are better than the dsvlca
provided by state law.
It provides fur a pilot type of ten
der for Int.rurban cars.
It attempts to legatxe operation of
frslghtcars over the company's lines
within the city limits, which author
ity Is not contained ra any of the
franchises bald by the corporation
and does not belong la a fender or
dinance. It extends the time for equipping
the streetcars with ths Nelson s, uto
matlc fender from July 1. 1911. until
July 1. 1812.
While the streetcar company and
the fender concern hare reached an
airreement perfectly satisfactory to
them, the general public must have
consideration, declares the Mayor.
Mayor Simon yetserday Hied with City
Auditor Barbur what la regarded as the
most slgniilcant veto nisage he has)
ever written since he took office two
yenrs sxo. It Is an objection to the
ordinance paaxed by unanimous vote of
the City Council avt lta last session, rela
tive to fenders for the Portland Hallway.
Light & Power oCmpany. It extend
one year tha time for the equipping of
the cars with Kelson automatio ienuera
and aeeks to authorise the operation of
freight cars over the company lines
snd to legallxs the use of the present
device on the lines of the corporation.
The Mayor atrongly Intimates that ha
company ha tried to secure action by tua
city In this regsrd that will give it au
thority to operate freight trains over
Its lines, which authority is not given it
in any of Its franchises. He also de
clares that ha is unwilling to sign en or
dinance wblcb aays that the present
fender In use on the company's) lines la
better thsn that described In tho state
law. and asserts that, while the streetcar
company and the fender company have
arranged the subject sntslfactorlly to eacn
other, "the public requires protection
in having atreetcars equipped with proper
and suitable fenders and the equipment
of cars ought cot to be delayed until
such time aa will suit the convenience
of the two corporations mentioned."
Objections Are Enumerated.
The Mayor's message to the Council is
is follows:
The nuroose of the ordinance Is to extend
until July L 1912. the provisions of ordinance
No. 21.2i. passed by tha council on jcio
ber 12. 1310. which requires streetcars to be
equipped by July 1. 111. with what la known
as the Kelson automatic tenoer. ins ordi
nance also extends until eceraber 1. mil.
th tima Ih which streetcars ODerated with
out air brakes or air-brake equipment shall
be equipped with the type of fender de
scribed la section 6 of the ordinance, and
provides that electric locomotives and street
cars engaged regularly in Interuruan serv
ice after July 1. 1V1L may not use what la
known as the pilot type of fender.
The ordinance abounds in whereases and
recitals and contains a declaration to tne
effect that it is deemed for the best Inter
est of the residents and inhabitants ef the
City of Portland to substitute on all street
cars operated within the limits of the City
of Portland the type of fender that has been
for a number of years past used on street
cars by the Portland Railway, Light s
Power Company, for he apron, fender or
guard, prescribed by the State Legislature
In tba act of luo.
There also appears an exception In sec.
tlon 4 snd In section ef the ordinance to
the requirement for the Installation of the
two types of fendurs prescribed, in the fol
lowing language:
"Kxceptlng any car engaged regularly In
Int.rurban service, which may also be used
ss motive power for the handling of mall,
express and freight rars and which Is equip
ped with Jaaatsr Caxbuildera' Automatio
Coupler."
freight Provlsloa Objectionable.
The lancuase employed In the exception
la not found in any of the street railway
franchises or In any legislation adopted bf
the Council on the subject of streetcar fend
ers. I am not elsar Just what la contem
plated by this provision, but If It Is Intended
thereby to grant the traction companies the
right to' operate ears through the streota of
the City of Portland for the purpose of do
ing mall, express and freight busmeaa. II
doea not meet with my approval. Tha Ian
guase employed, whether Intended as a grant
of additional right or the assertion of right
or privilege claimed, if acquiesced In by the
roanctl. ntay become the source of con
tention snd lltlsatloa In the future snd In
my Judgment the exception quoted should
be eliminated f rem the ordinance.
I also objert to the declaration that the
type of fender In use on the cars of the
Portland Railway. Light Power Company
is superior to the type of spron. fender or
guard prescribed by the act of the state
Legislature of luoS. and I am not willing to
give my consent to the declaration con
tained In the ordinance, that ln tbe Judg
ment of the Mayor and members of tbe
Common Council of tbe City of Portland. It
la deemed tor the best Interests of the resi
dents and inhabitants of said city to sub
stltute the said Ope of fender now In use
upon cars ef the Portland Railway. Light s
Power Company for the type of fender pre
scribed by ssij act of the Legls:ative As
sembly of Oregon."
Extea-toa ef Time Wrssut.
In addition to these objections to which I
bars called attention, I am compelled to
state that I cannot approve the extension
of time from July 1, lnll, to July 1. 1912.
in which to comply with the requirements
cf the N.lson automatic fenter ordinance.
The latter ordinance declares that streetcars
are not properly equipped with fenders, thus
endangering the lives and limbs of the pub
lic. If the Council's declsrstloa was true
them, nothing has since transpired to min
imize the danger to the public or to obvlste
the necessity for equipping streetcars with
proper f.nders.
If the ordinance under consideration be
comes effective, not a single car need b
equipped with the Nelson automatic fendet
prior to July 1, 1912. It seems to me thtet
if any good reason exlata for granting an
extension of time to the street rsilway com
panies to enable them to comply with the
terms of the ordinance psssed by tha Coun
cil. October 12. 1910, a shorter period than
one year from July 1. 1911, should be fixed
and the corporations Interested should be re
quired to commence the equipment of cars
at an early date and to eqalp a certain num
ber of them each week and should be re
quired to continue to equip tbem until tbe
entire number of cars In use is so equipped.
It waa asserted at the meeting of the
Council when tbe ordinance under eonsla
erniion was passed, that the Portland Rail
way, Light A Power Company snd the N.l
son Automatic Fender Company bad
adjusted their differences and that the or
dinance qua. tlon waa satisfactory to both
corporations. I cannot but feal that thsre
are otb.r interests to be conserved and other
rights to be protected besides those of tha
two corporations mentioned. The publle re
quires protection In having streetcars eMUln
ped wsta props and suitable fenders and tba

Identical names borne by a father
and son, both of whom are now dead,
and the habit each had of signing his
name in such a manner as not to Indi

resulted In a hard-fought law suit, in
volving the ownership of two Jots and

favor of the belrs of the son by Judge

The decision of the court proved ex

Jr. Beers, Jr., was a plumber and
allowed his father to look after his
financial affairs to such an extent,
that a check signed by the father was
