CURRENCY MEASURE
Declares Glass-Owen Measure
Provides Improvement Over
Present System.
, (By tbe tnteriMtlonal Ne. Service.)
. Iskowliegan,. Maine, Aug. $0 "We
cannot in a few months redeem all the
promise at Baltimore, but with God's
blessing We will redeem them all.
- "We believe our tariff bill will re
duce the cost of living, more fairly
adjust the subjects of tariff taxation
and at the same ti niti raise an abundant
revenue for the government, economi
cally and effectively administered.
"Second In importance to the revis
ion of the tariff downward was the
promise of currency reform. We are
now in the first stages of the re
demption of that promise." v
These are striking excerpts from a
speech made here tonight by Speaker
Champ Clark in behalf of the Demo
cratic candidate for congress in a
special election to fill a vacancy in
the third district. ' The speaker de
voted ' his entire time to a discussion
of the Democratic tariff bill and the)
Glass-Owen currency measure.
'We declared that the works of the
Republicans for 18 years were not for
the best Interests of the country and
should not be satisfactory to the peo
ple," he said.
"The npople took us at Our word and
thrust tlfe Republicans Into utter darx
ness. where there was weeping and
wailing, and gnashing of teeth and a
great deal of profane swearing.
Approve Proposed Tariff.
"Our-tariff bill win . in all human
probability be upon the statute booki
before the middle of September, tn
my Judgment It la a good tariff bill.
It is not precisely as I wOuld hav
written it If I had "had carte blancha
to write a tariff bill.
"AU important legislation '. the Is
sue of compromise and concessions No.,

tn thla worttf, " ' : . -
"We believe that our tariff bill will
reduce the cost of living, more fairly
adjust tha subjects of tariff taxation
and at the earn time raise an abundant
revenue for the government, economic
ally and effectively administered. I
put in the word'eff actively' becauas
no good American desires to ' sea the
federal government cr.jpled in any Of
Its legitimate functions.
"Our tariff bill would not raise
enough money to pay the expenses of
the government were It not for the
Income tax foature of it. According
to my way of thinking, a properly
graded income tax with reasonable ex
ceptions is the moBt Just and the fair
est tax ever levied. It la a monstrouj
proposition to say that the concentrated
wealth of the country should not bear
a Just proportion of the public burden
"Second In importance to the revis
ion of the tariff downward was the
promise of currency reform.
Presses Currency System Deplored.
"We are In the first stages of the
redemption of thut promise. I think it
may be said without exaggeration or bad
taste that we have at tha present time
the worst currency system of all the
great peoples on the globe. It is the
laughing stock of Intelligent persons the
wide world over.
"Perfection la not claimed for the
Glass-Owen currency bill. It is. how
ever, that It is a vast improvement on
the present system."
Referring to the point that objection
had been made to the f ederal' reserve
board having too much power, Mr. Clark
said: . - i
"Power must be lodged somewhere,
and ii my Judgment It is better to lodge
It with the president and his ap
pointees rather than to lodge It In the
hands of private persons. These latter
can do a great many things to which no
penalty is attached which a president
of the United StaSea-etfnnot afford to
do."
i In terminating the enumeration of the
Important provisions of the bill the
speaker said:
"I have no disposition whatever to
lump bankers off as dishonest beyond
the average. I simply say they are hu
man, that they w'ill work for their own
interests. Sometimes some of them will
work to their own Interests to an ex
tent not justified by good morals, just
as other classes of people will do."
The speaker concluded with an appeal
to his audience to Jndorse the Demo
cratic congress and 'President Wilson's
administration by sending the Demo
cratic candidate of this district to Wash
ington with a rousing majority.

MODERN
BUILDING PERMITS AND
BANK CLEARINGS SHOW
INCREASE FOR AUGUST
In Other Industrial and Com-merciarimeT-W
Holds
Own for Month..
' Pronounced gain were made In bank
clearings, building permits and posul
receipts in the month just closing. In
other Industrial and commercial lines
the monthly totals about held their
own with the record for August, 1911.
Business men in almost all lines ex
press decided encouragement over the
prospect for fall business.
Locally, the month was a notabl
one for the reason that substantial
gains were shown In nearly all -lines
over the totals of one year ago. In
spite of the fact that August, . 1312,
showed very large Increases In busi
ness of all characters.
The Portland Clearing House as
sociation reports clearings for thi
month of August amounting to $46,
603.36S.66, as compared with $45,017,
462.70 for the Bame period one year
ago. For the eight months of the year
ending with August, the total clearings
amount to (402,000,000. while for the
same period last year the sum was
(382,000,000, the increase being Just
$20,000,000, or a little more than 6 per
cent.
The largest monthly gain reported
was in building construction. Accord
ing to the figures of the city building
department, permits Involving the ex
penditure of (1,218,380 were 'ssued for
the month up io the close of business
at noon yesterday. The permit recorl
for August, 1812, is $1,078,318, leaving
an Increase for the current month of
$140,000, and equaling a gain of 13
per cent .Portland's building reco,-l
for the year so far Is $9,467,070, a sum
greater than that of any entire li
months prior to 1908.
Postal receipts for the month, as es
timated by the local postoTflee authori
ties at the close of business yester
day, will amount to $87,614.67, as com
pared with $85,941.27 for the same
month one year ago. The Increase of
$1673 is Just about 2 per cent. In
sharp" contrast wltli this gain Is tha
Increase shown tn the sale, of postage
Stamps at the local office for the eight
months of tbe year ending with Aug
ust. Receipts for the eight .months, in
cluding the estimate for this month,
are $745,010.66, while for the corrv
sponding period in 1913 the total wai
$694,879.46; tha gain la a fraction mor
than $50,000, equaling about 7 hi per
cent.
The volume of real estate transfers
filed for teoord in August felt consid
erably below that of August, 1912, tlu
comparative figures being $946,773 for
the current month and $1,446,446 for
August of last year.
