Leg islation will be necessary proper ly to control and regulate this class of business. Common law trusts are not engaged, as a gen eral rule, in the transaction of a banking business." Pawnbroker Law Inadequate Relative to pawnbrokers, the report remarks that "our present laws relative to this class of bus iness require amendment.

Democrats Called In Minority and majority reports on franchise changes recently ask ed by the Salem street railways were last night given large doses of chloroform when brought be fore the city council. The reports were submitted by a committee which had spent several weeks in Investigating representations that the local railways are In need of relief from alleged unsatisfactory local conditions. Alderman John B. Giesy led the fight for the minority report. recommending that abutting prop erty owners pay the cost of pav ing between rails on all lines not paved where pavement Is under taken; that the city assume all costs of bridge building, and that the railroad company be permit ted to establish 30-minute sched ules on the Seventeenth street and Asylum avenue lines. The local railway Bystem is owned by the Southern Pacific company, Minority Beaten The minority was defeated by a vote or nveito seven, aiier ai dermen auter, Vandevort, Utter and Patton had made fiery at tacks on the proposal. Defense of the measure was undertaken by Giesy,' Baumgartnet and Mar cus. Alderman L. H. Suter, a mem ber of the special committee, opened the fight on the measure presented figures from the com pany's own records showing that the railroad lines have enjoyed steadily increasing revenue since war depression times in 1918. Mr., Suter took exception to the company's expense reports 1919 he was chosen organization manager and carried on the pre liminary work and built the or ganisation up to Its present mem bershlp of 2000 and .3 2 ,6 00 acres. A year ago he was made assistant general manager of the organiza tlon. Committee Work Important Mr. Lewis has been very active in constructive horticultural work. His activities include near ly every committee organized for the interest of horticulture, such as the export corporation, the de- clduous league, and the national apple shows. He was chosen to represent the northwest In a plea showing heavy increases in expen- Appeal is Made by Associated Charities All Kinds of Clothing Desired and Fifty Thousand Mem bers Will Be Represented at Chicago.

There is little pay work for boys at this season of the year. and hungry and frozen boys are going to be either stunted men or bad men both of them ruinous investments for society. Dr. Morris, executive officer for the Associated Charities, urges all who can supply these, or any other items of clothing, to come forward with their offerings now while there is need for them, and not wait for Christmas or be too late, or for the rats and mould to destroy what would mean com fort for so many destitute neo- ple. Dr. Morris reports the receipt of $5 from Mrs. Anna DeLong, and 2 from an unnamed bene factor. He says there Is urgent need for all the help that can be given, and more.

And from what came up at the council meeting last night they may continue to hold that name for a long time to come. The questioned was referred to a mass meeting to be held Friday niffht of this week. And I doubt whether we have a postoffice of any name OUnrUnAllUN btLLlriu whatsoever, said one West Salem councilman, last night, fol- C nRICfiT flP RfinY lowing ine meeting. 1 Deaeve mat naraiy more man iu per cent of our people, once they understand the case, will want a fourth class postoffice at all, which is the only kind we could Mkk o get at present. We have rural free delivery every day from hciiiki viiicai uiuwuo, Salem. We would not have this from our own postoffice. "The original petition for es tablishing a postoffice was signed by only 24 applicants. A post- office would not be necessary, it seems, to give mailing franchise for the newspaper that was to be established here. But we are in formed that we could not get ru ral routes from here, and that the patrons of the two routes that pass through here are protesting against, a change from the serv ice they now get from the Salem postoffice. If their protest is al lowed, we'd certainly be, and stay, in the fourth-class division. Well SatfefkHi Hope "This, I am convinced, most of our people will not wish to ac cept They would rather have what they now have, free deliv ery from Salem. However, It will be up to the people to say. If they refuse the postoffice, there is small chance for a change of name.

Attempts of the prosecution to remove Juror Edward W. Brown on the ground of bias and preju dice, despite the fact that he had already been accepted and sworn, featured the session today in the third trial of Roscoe C. (Fatty) Arbuckle on a manslaughter charge. A recess was called on two oc casions during the da on account of the Brown matter, the first to allow the defense to prepare an argument in the juror's support and the second to allow the court to make an independent invt-stiga lion at the conclusion of the de fense and answering arguments Assistant District Attorney Leo Friedman at the opening session announced that the prosecution wished to exercise its last pereui lory cnaiienge on Brown. A sup porting affidavit stated that the Juror, a grocer, had been twice prosecuted for alleged violations of the state pure food laws and that he held a prejudice therefore against District Attorney Brady, the prosecuting officer. The de fense attorney, Gavin McNab, ans wered that as the district attorney was . cognizant to all of the facts he should have challenged Brown before he was finally sworn and that it would be a violation of the law to excuse the juror at this time. Asked -by the, court if he held the opinion that a juror could not be excused after being finally sworn, "even if it developed that he was the defendant's brother," McNab replied that the statute would positively prevent the dis , missal of such Juror. The court was under the opinion that his de cision, which Is expected tomor row morning, will be somewhat of a precedent. The Brown development halted the selection of a second alternate Juror and the starting of testi mony taking. In the expectation of both sides this alternate would have been selected early In the session and one or more witnesses would have been hard before the session concluded had not the Brown motion been made. the heart of Salem than many of the other Salem suburbs. Why change the name? "If the name is changed, it will almost certainly be King wood. We have Klngwvod park. Kingwood heights. It is a good enough name, that a petition of between 150 and 160 signers fav oring that name, was presented at the council meeting, and not nearly all of the approximately 500 voters have been, soon on this one petition. Council Without Authority "The city council has no au thority in either the acceptance of a postoffice or in changing the name. Both are in the hands of the people, and of the department at Washington. The council can only try to get the people to gether to settle the matter." At the council meeting last night, C. M. Robinson handed in bis resignation from the coun cil. His place was filled by the selection of W. T. Grier of the strength of the territory be rep resents. The meeting of the cooperative marketing organisation, which came Into being in April 1131, when the national marketing plan outlined by the committee of 17 appointed by President Howard of the American Farm Bureau fed eration, was adopted, will be open, ft was stated today, although pre viously It bad been reported that the gathering would be behind closed doors.

Aggregate resources In the 280 state and national banks, savings banks and trust companies in Ore gon at the close of business De cember 31, 1921. was $288,433.- 859.49, says the annual report of Frank C. Bramwell. state super intendent of banks, which was submitted yesterday to the state banking board. This is a decrease of $64,098,- 086.52 as compared with the pre vious year when the aggregate was $352,532,946.01. Liquidation Reduced "The liquidation of loans and discounts during the past year discloses a substantial reduction," says the report. "On December 31 1921, these assets aggregated $169,803,937.44 as compared with $211,854,140.60 on Novem ber 15, 1920, or a decrease of ap proximately $42,000,000 and still loans and discounts on December 31, 1921, were $42,000,000 more than they were on November 20, 1917; $21,000,000 in excess of those reported November 17, 1918 and $36,000,000 less than the ag gregate reported November 17, 1919. During the same period of time there has been a liquidation of loans and other investments consisting chiefly of bonds In the approximate sum of $45,000,000. "This condition clearly indi cates that the liquidation of loans and other securities, represented by various classes of investments. has been sufficient to meet the de cline In deposits and at the same time substantially reduce obliga tions representing borrowed mon ey. Foetal Savings Decrease "Demand deposits have . de creased $46,475,894.22 since No vember 15, 1920. United States deposits and postal Savings de posits daring the same period of time have decreased $838,685.37. The aggregate of this class of de mand deposits has shown a de crease of only $500,000 since June 30, 1921. "On November 15, 1920, bills payable, rediscounds and certifi cates of deposit, representing bor rowed money, aggregated the sum of $17,315,791.54. On December 31, 1921, these obligations repre sented $10,234,809.40. This Is a net reduction of $7,080,982.14, or 41 per cent. "On December 31, 1921, time and savings deposits combined ag gregated the sum of $80,769, 216.30.
