"Capital is always seeking Rood in vestments but capital is timid and -you cannot compel it to come to Ore- ' gon by placing hostile legislation on the statute book; and there are those of means who fear Oregon's theories ' of government."' , Banks Trustees of Funds. j Mr. Mills said that of JlS.0u0.000 on deposit in his bank.
