Portland bankers are divided In opin

Eastern financiers, including men close

believe a raise in rate will be necessary,
They propose that the new rate be fixed
at 4 per cent and that the bonds ma

will allow the government to refufld the
loan in 1923, when it is believed lower
rates of interest will prevail.
A number of Portland bankers are of
the opinion that the 4 per cent five-
year bond will prove 'the solution of the
problem at present confronting the gov

Some ITarge 4 Per Cet
Others believe that an appeal to the

a generous response and that the bonds

President to Review Acts
"In the exercise of the jurisdiction and
authority hereby conferred, to make
subject to review by the president the
necessary orders to any such depart
ment, bureau, official or agency of the
government, and of such decisions as the
matters under consideration may require

"To make rules and regulations, gov
erning its own procedure ; and said war
cabinet shall, upon completion of its
membership, Immediately organise, and
thereupon and thereafter proceed to an
expeditious disposition of all matters
coming before It."
Signs of stubbornness and concerted
administration pressure against the war
cabinet bill made its appearance in the
senate this afternoon immediately after
Senator Chamberlain submitted the
measure.
President Is Opposed
Senator Martin of Virginia, the Demo
cratic leader, and Senator Simmons of
North Carolina, brought word direct
from the White House that the president
was unfavorably disposed toward the !
measure.
There was a quick rallying of admin
istration senators to resist action dn the
bill.
Senator Lewis of Illinois, the Demo
cratic whip, leaped to his feet the In
stant the bill was presented.
"If there 13 a request for Immediate
consideration of the bill, X want to ob
ject," said Senator Lewis.
Senator Chamberlain made no such re
quest, put merely asked Its reference
back to the military affairs committee.
Senator Swanson of Virginia, acting
chairman of the naval affairs commit
tee, insisted that the naval affairs com
mittee should be consulted.
"This measure would put a lot of red
tape around the navy department and
disorganize it," he said.
bonds may be purchased at a much lower
price on the market.
"We must appeal to the patriotism of
the people," said Emery Olmstead of the
Northwestern National bank, "and every
citizen of the country must know that
this war cannot be won without personal
sacrifice on the part of every man, wo
man and child in the nation. The next
bond issue ought to sell at 4 per cent;
the investing public ought to be willing
to sacrifice personal advantage to the
needs of the government.
Edacatlon Is Xeeesiary
A campaign of education is necessary
along this line. It may become neces
sary for the government to raise the in
terest rate, but I still have faith in the
patriotism of the people and believe that
the next issue of Liberty loan bonds
will bear 4 per cent Interest."
The habit of merchants in advertising
to accept Liberty loan bonds in pay
ment for merchandise, is frowned upon
by bankers, who point out that this prac
tice defeats the desire of the government
that the bonds be retained by original
purchasers and not find their way to the
open market to compete with future bond
issues.
In their enthusiasm to make a record
for the city and state in the last Liberty
loan campaign, many persons bought
more bonds than they could well affoad
to-pay ior ana aiierwaras oiierea tnem
for sale. This also has a tendency to
bear down the price.
One member of the campaign commit
tee Is of the opinion that there will be
less over-buying during the next cam
paign and that it will be discouraged by
the campaign management.
Five phony phonographs turned out
to be five five-gallon kegs of whiskey,
according to a statement of Deputy
Sheriff Christofferson who opened the
supposed musical instruments in the
county Jail this morning.
Tha first move In a campaign to re

houldv the city council adopt the Kei

Kellaher announced this morning that
the nroDosed ordinance would be intro
duced as a relief measure for the citi
zens of Portland, now required to pay
cents tare on the streetcar. Competi
tion by Jitneys, he said, would soon bring
about the reduction of the present street
car fare to S cents.

Portland's coal supply is more than
ample to meet tha needs of customers
who may be compelled to quit burning
oil and use coal Instead, according to
fuel dealers. The Washington mines
have more coal on hand than they can
sell. The mild winter has lessened the
demand, and It la reported that soma of
the mines may have to close down be
cause of overproduction. It Is reported
that all Portland dealers have big sup
plies on hand. Wood la also plentiful.
Leading oil production companies have
already sent out notices that future de
liveries are cancelled because of the
requisitioning of the oil tankers by the
government.

Dr. TL S. Stearns, a witness called by

consultation with Dr. William House,
it was decided to move Mrs. Faling from
the Sargent hotel, where she was living,

It was Dr. Stearns' opinion that Mrs.
Faling was generally unaccountable for
benefit of the owners of the stock and
will be forfeited If sold or transferred In

Nine million bushels have been lost

"Energies of tha food administrators

BIG COAL DRIVE
Do You Live But Half a Life?
Is your blood thin and sluggish? Are your "bad days" many?
Do you tire easily? Is your appetite poor and your sleep unrefresh
ing? If so, your blood "needs building and enriching. The value
of your daily work, the security of the position you hold, your pes- -sibilities
for the future all depend largely on the condition of your
blood. If the stream of life is rich in iron and red cells, everything
you do is characterized by a rugged vigor that brushes aside
every obstacle and your life is happy. On the other hand, weak
blood imperils your future, because it lets you only half live.

"The Red Blood Builder"
A time tried builder of health for run-down, overworked and
anemic people, and for children who do not thrive. It is a true
tonic, which creates millions of strong, new, red blood cells, and
puts iron in the blood to build up red cells, the vital elements that
enrich and make strong the stream of life that courses through all
parts of your body. Strong, healthy blood invites rugged health,
and the invitation is usually accepted. For, when the blood is
bountifully charged with red cells and iron, poisons and waste
tissue are easily cast off;
pure blood carries life and
vigor to every part of the
body.
