sued yesterday by the Federal Reserve

SOLICITORS CALLED FRAUD

Very Rev. Earl H. McC.ollister. dean

Portland with varying degrees of suc

menian solicitors appear seeking funds
for the schools, orphanages and
churches of their stricken country."
said Dean MoColllster last' night.
"These men now working In Portland
I believe to be spurious. They travel
in clerical garb and sometimes attired
as Greek priests, and to my knowl

Cloutier and Marie Woodruff were dis
covered under the coatings of dust
and tan. all hearty and happy at hav
ing helped Oregon to make a record
in taking the bonds.
The car covered, 1300 miles in 12
days. The tourists visited 38 towns
and cities and made 100 speeches in
behalf of the bonds and for arousing
the interest of the people were de
livered. Messrs, Chapman, Freeman and
Woodruff spoke in olty halls. In moving
picture theaters, ,on street corners, and,
in faot. wherever oportunity could be
fou nd.
From Portland the boosters for the
bond Issue went out over the Columbia
Hiver Highway to The Dalles. Then
the car cut across Wasco County,
stopping at a number of small towns,
to Bend. Prineville, Burns, Vale, On
tario, Baker, La Grande and Pendleton.
At Union a meeting was held on the
first day of the Kastera Oregon Live
stock Show, while at Pendleton Mark
Woodruff was invited to talk the bonds
before the gathering of Elks at their
flag day ceremonial. Mr. Freeman
worked at a picture theater at the
same time.
Volunteer Workers In Party.
The party was composed of volun
teer workers. Messrs. Freeman and
Chapman paid their own expenses, the
Chamber of Commerce sent Mark
Woodruff, while E. V. Hauler, of Hotel
Multnomah, sent II. H. Cloutier and
f urndshed the automobile and its driver,
Dan Zetz.
"We found the pepole of Eastern
Oregon and the big Central Oregon
district patriotlo enough, but so busy
that they had not paid much atten
tion to the liberty bonds," said F. A.
Freeman.
"We do not claim that our party se
cured any subscriptions to the loan,
but we do believe that we aroused the
people to a sense of individual respon
sibility. "Our meetings were well attended,
and there was trouble in -adjourning
them. The audiences wanted to know
all about the war, and especially about
bonds.
"The banks of Oregon contain more
money than ever in their history. It
belongs to farmers, sheep men, wool
men and cattle men. When those peo
ple came to understand that a Gov
ernment bond at ?J& per. cent equals
a. 6 per cent investment because of
the non-taxable feature, they were
eager to invest. When others came
to understand that the' bonds were
mad of small denominations so that
wvery wage-earner might participate,
that class was eager to back the Pres
ident. "Two criticisms might be fairly re
ported. Critics Are Condemned.
The first Is a tendency of the banks
to absorb the bonds without canvass
ing the cities in which they are located
to arouse public spirit. We fo-ind some
banks buying largely and intending to
let their customers take the bonds at
a later date. This plan secures the
money required, but it. makes it hard
to (ret the interest of the people
Aroused.
"The second criticism is of what
Mark Woodruff called the hot-stove
league of copperheads." It consists of
a lot of young fellows who sit around
the poolhalls and barber shops, smok
ing cigarettes and mouthing criticisms
of the way the war is being conducted
and financed. It Is a spirit that should
be stamDed out in every community.
"It is too late now to discuss the
things that caused the war. This coun
try is at war. The duty of every Amer
ican Is to get behind the President.
"Our party Is firmly convinced that
the time is now ripe for forming an
all-Oregon war committee. It should
have county branches, composed of the
leaders in every line of business, not
overlooking the women. t?urh an or
conization can assure Oregon's re
Rnonse to any demand the Government
shall make. And we believe the com
mittee should be organized soon, as it
is probable that another loan win

Bank at San Francisco, exceeded Its
quota by 39 per cent, but additional re
turns that trickled Into headquarters
here during the day place the excess
well above 40 per cent.
The city s exact requirement
$6,300,000 and the total subscription
as recorded by the Federal Reserve
Bank was $8,750,000, but the local
headquarters has a record of fully
$8,816,950, with additional belated sub
scriptions expected.
San Francisco exceeded her quota
by 27 per cent, Tacoma by 13 per cent,
Spokane by 3 per cent, while Los An
geles reports an actual deficit of 12
per cent.
The excess In the state at large was
"32 per cent, based on a. requirement of
$10,560,000.
Error Made In Fixing Quota
But Oregon's requirement was
raised while the campaign was at Its
height or the state might have made
even a better showing.
n fixing the quota for each commun
ity the Federal Reserve Board used
the total bank deposits as a basis.
The requirement for the entire coun
try was $2,000,000,000, which repre
sents approximately 6 per cent of the
bank deposits of the country.
On this basis each community was
asked to obtain, subscriptions equiva
lent to 6 per cent of its bank .de
posits. The bank deposits of Oregon at the
time the campaign started were ap
proximately $132,000,000, not including
approximately $30,000,000 carried by
country banks as deposits in the Port
land banks.
Willi Clark HaadHng Campaign.
But the committee in charge of the
San Francisco headquarters, apparently
not acquainted with -the " Oregon law,
subtracted the country bank deposits
carried In Portland from the state's
total, reducing the basis of computa
tion to approximately $102,000,000.
On this basis to Oregon was given a
requirement of $8,500,000, divided, $6,
000,000 in the city and $2,500,000 in
the country.
Later in the campaign the error of
the San Francisco office was discov
ered and the exact requirements were
fixed at $6,300,000 for the city and
$4,260,000 to the country ojx aggre
gate of $10,560,000.

Odd Subscription "Orlft In.
A few odd subscriptions from banks
In various parts of the state drifted
into Mr. Clark's office yesterday. The
principal one was $50,000, representing
the individual subscriptions of the
Southern Pacific employes in Oregon.
The Southern Pacific already had placed
$250,000 of the company's subscription
with the Oregon banks, making the
complete allotment to this state $300,-
000.
Figures of the general offices of the
company in San Francisco show that
the total amount subscribed by em
ployes on the Pacific System alone
reached $1,319,000. This sum was
pledged in 12 days after the call issued
by president William Sproule.
Mr. Clark was advised by the San
Francisco bank yesterday that a con
signment of 5000 liberty bond buttons
has been shipped for distribution in
Oregon. Every purchaser of a bond
regardless of the size, will get a button.
It is estimated that there were more
than 12,000 individual subscribers in
the state.
Employes of the Blumauer-Frank
Drug Company subscribed an aggregate
of $5700.
Among the other late subscriptions
reported yesterday were $7000 by Peter
Autzen, $3d00 by the Hazel wood e
ployes, $3000 oy E. F. Bay, $1000 by the
Jobes Milling Company, and $25,000 by
the Peninsula, National Bank. All these
subscriptions had been accounted for,
however, in the totals previously re
ported.
