TNORTLAND Is a city of more than

but, from one 'source, andthat. as
will at once be recognized, a source
whose v,ery opposition; persisted In
that Portland and Oregon Is deemed
by them to be the especial preserve
of the owners of two certain Port
land newspapers and thsjt no other
newspaper . has a right to be pub
lished here. - Though they had had
this entire field for their plucking
for more than 30 years, the two or
three men who own these newspapers
obstructed The Journal at every step,
and as it grew and grew finally de -
generated into , the pitiful resort of I
seeking to discredit Its news service
and destroy its financial strength. It
is doubtful If there is a parallel in J
the history of the known world.
Thei fact that The Journal has
grown and prospered Is proof ; that
Buch a newspaper was wanted oy tne
public, and that, It has a right to be
here, v The fact that after it has been
so accepted and approved, ia,, still
honnded by those who insist thatlzenry and affairs, but because the
Portland and Oregon la theirs and interests of all litigants require such
theirs alone, Is the best testimony in
the world that it Is a good thing for J hereafter both tq get as perfect a
the people of Portland and for thecode vas possible and to get the work
people oi Oregon tnai 'i ne journal is
here. No people in any state or in
any city were ever compelled so long
to submit to an arrogant and dog-
matlc oligarchy as was true of Ore-
gon for the long period before The
Journal came. No public men ia any
commonwealth were ever so brutally made under the direction of the legal
attacked, so persistently hounded, department of the state and pub
wlthout being given the power of a ashed by the state; It can be made
defense as were the publlo men of a source of revenue to the state in-
Oregon. No spirit of intolerance, no
grosser assumption of superiority, no
more violent and Justifiable attacks
upon the Christian religion and the
visible forms thereof, no more ye-
hement and intolerant indulgence In
a spirit of factionalism, no more ob-
Btructlon to efforts of public progress
were ever made than, were heaped
upon the people or Oregon Dy inw
newspaper hierarchy during SO long
years. Even the errorta or just men r
to better the conditions of the liquor
traffic were assailed, and the very
Cause of existing vicious saloonery
was championed for years by this
monstrous newspaper combination,
which still Insists that Its owners
own Portland and Oregon ror news-1
paper purposes, and that every
means must be taken to block the
progress of any newspaper that dares I
lntruda. ...
Such is the history and such the
condiUons. Oblivious to the past
and the present, and facing the fu-
ture almost alone, but thankful for
the confidence and generous support
ot the people, The Journal Is here
and will remain here, a constructive
newspaper, following the light as lt
sees it, defending the right as lt finds clple of business action, or supple
it.; and building constantly and al- mentary to It, each citizen ought to
ways for an uplifted, a more glorious take a lively Interest in the welfare
and a greater Portland and Oregon, J
for a freer and more and more pro-1
grejssive people.

DEMAND FOR A NEW CODE.
L'
AWYERS say that a new code
is necessary. Not only have
taany laws been passed, or
, changed,' since the last code
wa8
printed' but copies of Jt are
becoming scarce, and it is said by
some to be. very. Imperfect A new
code is a burden that the state will
have to bear occasionally, but how
(often and upon what degree of need
therefor are Questions on which
opinions differ. Courts and lawyers
must be reasonably accommodated in
respect to an occasional codification
of the laws, not only because they
are an important part of our citi-
action. . But care should be taken
done at a reasonable cost.
The Journal is not prepared to
agree with all that its Salem name
gave say8 on this subject, but Is in
cllned to agree with that paper to
tne extent, "when a new compilation
0f the code Is tnada.lt should be
8tead of a big burden of expense.
ieast it would seem that this
business could be managed so that
tne books at a fair price would pay
tne COst of a careful and complete
comDiiation of the laws. And some
public official or board ought to see
t0 it that the work is thoroughly
done, so as to obviate aa far as pos-
Slble the recurrence of complaints

demand for a new code:

J a CITY has often been likened to
j A a corporation, Its officials
fA taking the place of the cor-
porations . officers, and all
the property owners being stockhold
ers. It might also be likened to a.
big partnership concern, all .thelti-
sens belne Dartners m larger or les
ser degree. The point Is that every-
body ought to be interested In and
strive for the good of all, for that
makes for the good of each. Of
course, the main care of each citl-
ien must be Within legitimate ana
reasonable bounds to look out , for
himself, but , beyond this first prin-
of the city in which Is his home, in
the community wherein he dwells.
And this should be especially so ln
the case of those who have pros
pered well, -who have been success
ful above the average ,6f their fellows.;-

SUMMARY OF NEW CURRENCY LAW
From tha Denver Newa '
Hera Is a - careful summary of the
"emergency - currency law, tha law
which .the do-nothing congress passed
a the (ait moment. It la a contused,
rambling bill; hard to reduce to orderly
meaning; but we believe we have here
stated that meaning fairly. , We call
particular - attention to - the -way ln
which, the' - Republican -party protects
tne interests or the Dank aepositors.
Now for the law
Before any emergency can , even be
asked for, national currency associav
tions must be formed. These must con
sist of at least - ten ' banks, each of
wnich must nave an unimDairea capital,
and a surplus of twenty per cent; and
the total capital and surplus of the as
sociation must not be less tnan 3,uuj,
000. No bank can belong to more than
one currency association. No bank cai
be kept out of an association in Its dis
trict, If 'It can meet the requirements of
tne law. no association, can oe lormea
of widely separated banks, scattered
over the oounlry: and no more than one
association can oe zormea w any one
city. ' . - -: , - - : :"
. The currency association must file
with the seoretary of the treasury of
the United States a certificate riving
lta name, the names of Ha members.
ana inionoauon. uu auing n, ui as
sociation become at once a corporation,
with comorate rlahts. and privileges.
The association is governed . by the
usual officers and an executive board
of five member.
Havln caueht the hare, tnat is. hav
ing formed the association, the next
thins- is the SDDllcatlon for emergency
ourrency. The procedure i. rather In
volved. -
Any bank belone-lnar to a currency as
sociation mar make application to the
association for emergency curreny, de
positing, at the sam time, securities
with the association. The officers of
the association examine the securities,
and pass the application on to the
comptroller of the currency. The comp
troller passes it on -tne secretary oi
the treasury. The secretary look Into
tne matter, and it the securities seem
good to him. If the bank jnaking appli
cation has a regular clreulation equal
to roray nes..eent or its capital atocK,
and .the condition warrant such an
action, he orders the Issuance of de
sired currency. This is supplied to the
Dank by the government. ,
The securities on which currency
may be issued include "commercial pa
per," and the bonds of any city, county,
state, or town, which has had a good
record of oavlna- its debts, principal
and Interest, for the previous ten years.
and which does not owe more than ten
per cent of lt aasessed valuation
Banks depositing other securities can
secure only seventy-five per cent of
their cash value In emergency currency.
There are several other restrictions.
No bank may secure currenv to tne
amount of more than thirty per cent
of the commercial paper lt deposits
with the association. If it deposits
state or municipal bonds lt can secure
more than this, but always the total
circulation, emergency and regular, of
any bank, must vbe- limited to the
amount of its capital and surplus. The
total issue of emergency currency In
the United State must never exAed
$500,000,000.
The currencv thus issued Is secured
to the holder by the United States gov
ernment, which will redeem in coin all
emergency currency presented at the
United States treasury.
Tne government la secureo against
los in several ways. In the first place,
the issuance of the currency is In all
cases left to the discretion of the sec
retary of the treasury.

severally liable to the United States for
the redemption or sucn additional cir
culaton." In the third place, whenever state or
municipal bonds are made the basis of
emergency currency, the title to those
bonds Is vested. Ipse facto, in the
treasurer of Ihe United States, to be
held ln trust for the association. Fin
ally, each bank must keep on deposit
with the treasurer of the United States

Republican party who passed thl

that such a thing as a bank depositor
existed.. You know it, and w know
it, you know and we, know, that the
bank depositor starts every- panlo that

getting out a circulating medium to

But the Republican party ln congress

do you . find the slightest mention of

But the principal fault of the bill
1 that it Isn't honest. The- govern
