It looks now as though those Gettys
burg veterans are going- to have a red
hot . farewell party when they leave
Portland next Wednesday afternoon to
attend the reunion on the 50th anni
versary of the battle of Gettysburg.
Adjutant-General Flnzer has asked
the National Guard troops to turn out
and It is probable that a band or two
will be in line to escort the "boys"
from the Courthouse to the depot.
The Portland Ad Club will be in ses
; sion at their weekly luncheon at noon
Wednesday and some of the members
are planning to have the organization
go in a body to the Courthouse and
Join in the procession.
Members of the "Hanky Panky" com.
pany, who will be playing at the Heilig
Theater this week, too, will join in
the demonstration. Miss Florence
Moore, one of the star performers,
whose father was a. Civil War veteran,
has arranged to drive an automobile
in the parade. In the machine with
her will be William Montgomery, her
husband,' Christine Nielsen and Clay
Smith, co-stars in "Hanky Panky." The
actors and actresses will give roses to
the veterans as they board the train.
Autos Are Requested.
Automobile owners in the city have
been requested to lend their machines
for the purpose of carrying the vet
erans to the depot. It is desired to
have a short parade, but even this may
prove distressing for some of the men.
All Civil War veterans in the city who
are not survivors of Gettysburg will
accompany their comrades to the train
Members of the Women's Relief
Corps have arranged to present the
"boys" with fruit and flowers before
they depart.
Officials of the O.-W. R. & N. Com

will install many unusual conveniences
in the special train. A passenger of

entire line. A physician likewise will
be on board and spedial attention will
be given to the commissary department.

recting District Attornev Mosjoh nr

tracts covering a period of years. There
is equal surprise that the Government
directed McNab to delay prosecution of

under the Mann "white slave" act.
Interest is added in the latter case
by reason of the fact that n nf

Views of National Associa
tion on Currency Reform
Are Made Public.
CENTRAL BANK FAVORED
Great Danger of Permitting Borrow
ers to Go Direct to Treasury
Declared to Be That Pol
itics Will Prevail.
NEW YORK. June 21. Methods
which should be pursued In reforming
the currency system of the country,
according to, the views of the Ameri
can Bankers' Association, were out
lined today In a detailed statement is
sued by the currency commission of
that organization. The statement,
which answers 83 questions formulated
by a sub-committee of the committee
on banking and currency of the United
States Senate, was prepared by the
commission, which recently convened
at Atlantic City, N. J.
The commission indorsed the cur
rency plan devised by the National
Monetary Commission, of which Senator
Aldrlch, of Rhode Island, was chair
man. It made no reference to the bill
recently prepared at Washington with
the co-operation of President Wilson.
Its recommendations. In fact, were
framed before the publication of the
Administration bill. The commission
urges that, whatever system Is adopt
ed, it be kept out of politics.
Central Institution Favored.
The commission made no attempt to
formulate a complete currency system,
its recommendations being guided by
the questions put to It by the sub
committee of the Senate. It did state
its belief, however, that a central
banking Institution should be estab
lished, under Governmental control.
In expressing Its ideas as to the es
tablishment of a central bank, the com
mission, while not declaring for the
creation of an Institution similar to the
great central banks of the principal
European countries, points out that
"the experience of commercial nations
Is that results can be better accom
plished by the creation of a privately
owned central organization dominated
and controlled by the government, as
for instance, the Imperial Bank of Ger
many or the Bank of France. It serves
to take the matter out of politics."
"The great danger," the statement
continues, "is that if borrowers go di
rect to the treasury, politics will be
come an all-important and dominating
influence.".
One Association Liked Best.
In answer to the direct question
whether there should be a central re
serve association with branches, or
Beveral reserve associations without
central control, the bankers replied:
"In our opinion, one central reserve
association with branches would best
serve our present necessities."
The commission does not favor con
tinuance of bond-secured currency, the
objection being that the volume of cur
rency Is thus arbitrarily limited.
The bankers do not commit them
selves to ' any definite statement
whether there should be any chanee in
the present requirements of law that
Za per cent of deposits shall be held
as reserve. The advisability of such a
change, in their opinion, would depend
on the manner In which the reserves
are to be controlled and protected.
One of the most important recom
mendations is made in reply to the
question: "Should an elastic currency
be authorized by law?"
Elastic Currency Desirable.
"We believe that such a currency
should be authorized by law," the
answer runs, "the amount to be con
trolled by the gold reserve require
ments against it. Such reserves should
be ample, not less than 50 per cent as
a recognized minimum.. A special tax
might be levied upon any deficiency of
the reserve below the stipulated amount
of it. this tax to be increased as the
deficiency increases. Such provision
would. In our opinion, prevent over
expansion of the currency."
Replying to the question whether
all currency should be based on gold,
the Commission says:
"Reserve money should preferably
be gold but the proportion of green
backs and silver now Included In our
so-called lawful money. If not in
creased. Is of diminishing importance,
and if continued as eligible for reserve
will not cause embarrassment."

South America Sees Opportunity in

CHICAGO. June 21. Completing a
day in which he inspected many Chi

ister of Foreign Affairs of Brazil, who
is here on a two-day visit on his pas
sage from Washington to San Fran

given him by the Illinois Manufactur
ers' Association.
At the stockyards Dr. Muller devoted
his time chiefly to the study of the
handling of beef. He scrutinized the
animals slaughtered and consulted with
the experts of beef production.
"In South America we are working
to Increase our beef production, to avail
ourselves of the world market thrown
open by the diminution of the ranges
in North America," he said. "Since the
United States ceased to produce enough
for its own needs this great oppor
tunity has become of chief interest in
Brazil, as well as in Argentina, which
is sending beef all over the world.
"Brazil is indebted to the United
States for ideas of commercial effi
ciency and organization. Our two
countries do a vast trade now, but
there is an enormous market there yet
for the United States."
