One cen , tral reserve association, with branches would beat nerve the prentsnt , banking nd currency neeue of the country, ac fording to answers- formulated by the ' Currency ConimlHion of the American UunkciV AiMoclatlon to 83 question asked by a eub-coinmlttee of the bank lug and currency committee of the United State aenate. ,'. ; Financial lntereat stated today that this was the, basic principle of the Aid rich currency bill, created by the Aid rich committee aubsequrnMo four year ' lnveatigaNarn of bunking and currency systema throughout the world,' "Falling that," continues- the bartk era' answer, ."A small number of re gional reserve associations, also with branches .might -be organized. The smaller the number of regional reserve associations, however, the more effect-' ,lve tho reserve control. ' Central Control ITeeded. ", "If there are to be a number bt re gional associations, they should be un der, some kind of central 'control In which the government and the various establishments should have representa tion, -;: . "The experience of the world," reads the answer, ''Is that It Is better for a government tonrovlde sucli currency In . directly, through some privately owned corporation under strict governmental supervision, rather than put the credit of the government at issue with every note placed in circulation.. Trouble sometimes comes to every community and every nation, and It is better then to have the credit of the bank called in question than the credit of the gov ernment Itself." In condemning the constitution by nstional banks of a bond-secured cur iency the following comment Is made: "In the use of the government bonds as aerurlty for circulation, the volume of currency, instead of fluctuating with the varying requirements of trade, is limited by the volume of bonds and fluctuates according to their prices." An elastic currency authorized by lawj is advocated, the amount or It to ne controlled by the gold reserve require ments against it. 1 "Such gold reserve," says the ans wer, "should be ample, not less than ,6) per cent art recognised medium, A special tax might be levied upon any ' deficiency of the resrve below the stip ulated amount of it, this tax to be in creased as the difficulty increases. Such provision would in our opinion pre vent over, expansion of the currency. "Whether the present requirements of reserve for national banks should be reduced, Increased or otherwise modi fied. deneiirlH unon how they are to be controlled or protcited. If under a cen- j trallzed system of control they are te:be economically protected by a sat-Kfactory-.note "issue based on an ade auate gold reserve, and if under suuh' control, legal reserve money could. 'be 1 niude available, to -the banks as re quired through proper discounting iacil ities, we believe some modification of the present requirements might safely be made," Safe Currency Is Possibility. In answering the thirty-third ques tion, In which the bankers are asked for tUeir consideration of a "federal re serve division,"- by the treasury de partment, the reply was: it Is possible for the treasury ii furnish litis country with a safe cur rency. It would be very difficult. 1 The Rotary club's first annual basket picnic up the Willamette through tho Oregon City locks to hlstoilc Champoeg on the steamer Grahamoua yesterday was a success in spite of the inclement weather. .One hundred and fifty turned out in the rain to make the trip.

The final question is concluded with the statement that the proposal that the government should- assume not only large demund liabilities on note issues, but also enormous demand liabilities In the form of bank reserve deposits ! would be a dangerous reversal of the government's policy.

I ll eat you whole?" Crawfish move backward through this world, but as it is the back of him that is good to eat, no one cares, and to the dweller on the banks of the Tual atin river who has experienced the Joy of 'watching him crawl backward into a stew kettle it is ressonable to re lieve current rumors that word pictures of tho beauties of the golden domes of the New Jerusalem are losing their at traction to some people. ' . Wit h a towel around the neck, sleeves rolled to the elbows, and seated at a reataurant table, a crawfish banquet furnishes a memory which tho Portland visitor packs away In lavender with the family laee. On the banks of the Tualatin the trousers arc also rolled up, bare legs flash In and out of the water as the crawlers are caught In naked hands, an Iron pot Is sjwulig over a fire at the Devils Klbow, and while the boiling banquet turns from green to rei, no one gives a thought to Rose Festivals or what Portland's new com mlssionrrs will do with- the city. The banqueter has adopted crawfish locomo tion and has backed up Against nature and primeval methods of securing a meal. But It pays big In recharging the human battery for another assault on buxiness when the play day Is over. The best crawfishing grounds on the Tualatin are between the confluence of that stream with the Willamette and tho first bridge up the river, a distance of about one mile. Here the Tualatin flows through a narrow valley, the or I g inal home of the Oregon crawfish. The stream is shallow, bordered with innu merable camp and picnic grounds, fre quont springs and for years has been a favorite recreation ground for many Oregon city, people, start! tig from Ore gon City, the man who neeks the craw fish in hlg lair crosses the long white bridge below the falls and boards an old electric car, the first one ever op erated in tnis state, and is carried to the end of the line. He steps from the car into a Jungle of nature a beauties. and 16 minutes later has forgotten all about the rest of the world. The place Ih not "grand ' or "gorgeous" It Is peaceful.. And right down at your feet can be found the old original grand-daddies of all crawfish. They are on the job from July to September free -to all.
