Banks sntbsexisys Half ytmrrs e Up
to the time ot ths closing of ths
banks Saturday, cloa to half a rail
lion dollars had been subscribed In
Portland to the U50.000.0M lssus of
short term treasury notas put cut by
Secretary of tho Treasurr MCAdoo last
week. Ths subscription lists ars open
until Tuesday and it Is believed that
probably a million dollars will be
loaned to ths government by ths Port
land bankers. On subscription of
$160,000 was announced by ths North
western National bank aad another
or $200,000 by ths Ladd V Tlltoa bank
Saturday. Ths loan is for throe
months and pays Interest of J par
cent. The notes will mature November
l, the date set for opening subscrip
tions to the second Liberty loan of
$3,000,000,000. It la said that a bil
lion dollars in these short term notes
will be Issued to help "smooth over
the process of extracting three bil
lions from the wallets .of the people
or tne united states Just before
Christmas.
Shorter Term oans Waatad. Con
siderable interest has been aroused
among bankers and In commercial pa
per circles over the suggestion of
James S. Alexander, president of the
National Bank of Commerce of New
York, who Is urging commercial
houses to Issue notes to run for three
months only Instead of six months,
which has been the usual practice here
tofore, says the Chicago Herald. The
theory of commercial paper Is to cover
the period of production and marketing
and the issuance of paper financing
tnese operations, relating to commodi
ties that are going into general use and
consumption, presupposes payment oat
of the proceeds. In other words, such
paper Is self liquidating. Our bank
ing laws restrict the life of paper
that can be accepted for rediscount.
hence bank carrying the longer period
paper necessarily have a considerable
volume or self liquidating Investments
that are not immediately available
for rediscount at the federal reserve
bank should occasion reoulra Mr
Alexander's - suggestion, therefore.
wouia aaa to the flexibility of our
banking system and strengthen our
position materially, even though thero
be experienced some Inconvenience to
th borrower In many Instances. Note
brokers and those engagged In large
wholesale business, concede the ad
vantage that the change from six
month to three month paper would
bring to the general banking position,
through increasing the supply of com
mercial paper In the banks-portfolios
eligible for rediscount at the federal
reserve bank and thus render the '
member banks' condition more liquid.
But they say it would cause aa Incon
venience to the borrowers by msalng v
necessary more frequent borrowing.

ments of earnings and operations for'
the Western Pacific and Santa
railway systems for the month ot
Jene. made public last week in elan, -Francisco,
show that gross revenues
for the month were below May ""'
nues, the decline, however, belnc due 1
to the fact that May had one. more day
than June. The Western Pacific'
gross operating .revenue was $i02.$J
which waa $11,000 less than the gross
tor May. A corresponding decline ini
operating expenses was noted, leaving
net income of $413.03$. Surplus ap-' V
