The Question
Tl ANKERS oyer the country
MJ San Francisco convention
sociation which convenes Sept. 30th with more than usual
interest 'The big question to come up at that time is that
of branch banking:. Strong: interests are going to urge the
Association , to endorse a program of nation-wide banking
groups or chams. Others who
independent banking units will fight the, proposals vigor
ously.
Meantime under the form
"vjngr combines are springing up
. The Bank of Italy of California
wide investment trust. A group of banks in the Twin Cities
has organized a banking group
olis, St. Paul, the Dakotas, Omaha, Des Momes, with total
resources of a third of a. billion dollars. Seattle -and Port
land are centers of smaller banking chains. Now big finan
cial interests in New York, Stone & Webster, Morgans, the
Marine Trust Co. of Buffalo, are reputed to be entering the
field of chain bank financing.
There is much to' be said in favor of branch banking,
particularly that of the form taken by the Canadian banks
rather than the holding company type, which restrictive
American laws have forced.
pendent bank has a strong and
that local interests will be better protected under the inde
pendent, locally controlled bank than under the chain sys
tem. The contest at San Francisco will be but a prelude to
the bigger contest which will take place in Congress when
proposals for legalizing the formation of branch banks under
the national system will be made.
" ; A Community Chest
SALEM has gone through several "drives" recently. In
aiding in the solicitation we heard frequent expressions
of hope that Salem might adopt the Community Chest plan
of financing its charities and worthy enterprises, There is
much to commend the Chest plan. It combines in one big
effort numerous smaller drives which cover just about the
same territory and call for nearly as large an organization.
The donor gets weary from steady solicitation, cuts down
his contribution; whereas under the chest plan he might
make an even larger donation and plan for it from year to
year.
There is another frequent injustice in solicitation for
meritorious activities, that is, just the down-town folks are
solicited. The merchant and professional group are easy to
get at, so the fund-collectors work the down-town area. No
objection to this of course; but man; well-to-do people are
not solicited if they are not engaged in down-town business,
. which means that too heavy a share falls on the merchant
class. The merchant feels like he is i being held up but he
has to come through for reasons of business policy. He
doesn't want his store to be listed as a "piker." Under the
chest plan the entire city could be covered and the burden
distributed more equitably.
Salem will very likely come to the plan of consolidated
charity budgeting and solicitation and leaders in local enter
prises calling for voluntary public support should plan to
organize to take care of their requirements through the
Community Chest plan. -
Completing the
TITHE common argument of the proponents of issuing ad
JL ditional state bonds for road building is to "complete the
highway system." The fallacy of the argument is that the
highway system of Oregon will never be completed. Does
one think for a moment that when the Roosevelt highway is
finished and the few other gaps about the state closed, that
the highway system will be "competed"? By no means.
Road building will continue and demands for new roads, for
- improved roads will be just as persistent .five years from
now as at the present time.
Oregon may just as well-settle down to a long-time -view
of its situation.' Either, we may give ourselves the opiate

the second Oregon congressional
district require ot him and he Is
realising that their demands are
many. Naturally, because their
Interests art numerous and di
verse. Congressman Butler repre
sents the IS eastern Oregon coun
ties, aad they make up the largest
district represented by a single
member of the lower house ot
congress, in extent et territory,
with the exception of the terri
tories of the lone members from
such states as Nerada. There are
fire such states: Arisona, Dela
ware, Nerada, New Mexico and
Wyoming. Congressman Hawley
of the First Oregon district looksi
out tor almost a large a district
as that of Mr. Butler, aad a much,
larger population, in all the 17
counties of western Oregon except
ing MnKnomaa, whka makes up
the Third congressional district
all by itself. Mr. Hawley repre
sents nearly half the population of
Oregon. Though there ere fire
states with only one congressman
they hare two senators each, ot
course, standing in this respect
with the biggest ones in popula
tion. The territories of Alaska
and Hawaii bare each a delegate
in congress. The Philippines hare
two commissioners, and Porto
Rico one commissioner.
It Is not unusual or unique for
one county, like Multnomah, to
hare a member ot congress all by
Its lonesome. New York county,
New York City, has nine, and
Kings county, in which is Brook

job in trying to represent the In
terests of all of eastern, Oregon
at Washington. In tact, he al
ready, realirts that it is a back-
breaking Job, and one that keeps
nint oa the go all the time. He
told the Bits man that the people
ot Oregon do not realise fully the
important position la the councils
ot the nation that is held by Con
gressman Hawley. Mr. Butler
says Mr. Hawley stands among the
foremost leaders, of the nation in
all matters ot large, import. He
Is a leader of the leaders, by"TeaT

but also on account ot bis. great
ability and tireless industry . He
says Mr. Hawley is working too
bard, and that he cannot for very
long stand the strain aad the
peace of it all. No man can. Mr.
Bntler thinks these words should
be passed to the constituents ot
Mr,. Hawley la the First congres
sional district; that it they could
all realise the size ot the man who
represents them In the lower
house they would appreciate more
than they do, or show, their great
good fortune.
The Bits man would like to say
to numerous and widely scattered
friends who are offering him his
torical Information that he will
get around to all ot them, he
hopes, la good time. But there
are so many of them that he is

Editors Say:
SEE HALL IN RACE FOB, GOV
ERNOR
Editorial writers en state news
papers aee Senator Carley Hall ot
Coos and Curry counties, a sure
candidate tor the republican nom
ination for governor in 1930.
They base, their opinion upon the
recent sale of Hall's controlling
stock in the Pacific Baneorpora
tioa to JuUus Meier, of Portland.
Interpreting that transaction as a
definite step in Hall's program ot
preparation tor the coming cam.
paign.
The concensus of opinion ex
pressed to date is that Hall, al
though resourceful and courage
ous in the game of politics, will
hare a difficult task la captur
ing the nomination from Govern
or Patterson. He is rated as
stronger than Senator Bennett ot
Mtaltnomah county, who is an
arowed aspirant tor nomination
on the republican ticket, but up
to this time no political writer
has conceded him first place in a
race which, promises to be inter,
eating.
Hall was a candidate for the
republican nomination tor gor
ernor in 1022 against Ben W.
Olcott and was defeated. The
fight between the two was made
on the Issue of the Ka Klux Kl&n
which, following Hall's defeat for
the nomination, wag thrown to
Walter M. Pierce.
Some observers hint that scars
of the old fight between Hall and
Olcott factions hare not com
pletely healed and that in addi
tion to. overcoming the natural
strength developed by Governor
Patterson, the senator from Coos
county will also be handicapped
from the beginning of hlg earn
paign by the opposition of many
ot these who supported Olcott in
1022. , j
Talk of a democratic candidate
far governor Is centering around
Bert Haney, Portland attorney
and former member of the Unit
ed States shipping board. Haney
has net indicated whether ha will
become a candidate or not, but it
la generally presumed that ho is
la receptive mood.
The latest development in dem
ocratic circles Is noted in an arti
cle ta the Morning Register of
Eugene, which aayi that Bour
bons of Lane county are urging
former Governor Walter M. Pierce
to agaia become the standard
bearer of his party in the race
for governor in the coming cam
paign.
There is doeb however, that
Pierce, whose .home is in Union
county, will undertake , the race.
That old warrior is getting well
along in years,' has become com
fortably settled at his home on
his farm near La Grande, aad it
Is hollered that he possesses no
desire to again enter the arena
ef state polities.
It is also very doubtful if a de
mand for Pierce becomes general
over the -state. Members ot his
party recognise that much of his
old political strength and strat
egy hare been lost, and that to
support him tor governor wui be

Disarmament and "Inapp!i

- At Geneva Meet
. GENEVA. Sept. 20 (AP)
Two. subjects weighty with im
portance in the crusade for
.aM . mi ttAmtritv dis
armament aad "inapplicable
treaties," engaged the attention
ot tie league ot nations assembly
today..
The first centered around the
problem ot limiting trained army
reserves la seeking a basis tor a
general' disarmament- agreement
It developed a sharp conflict ot
attitudes between representatives
of Great Britain and France.
Tho second subject f onnd its
vehicle tor discussion in China's
wish to be freed from what her
leaders call the burden of '"un
equal treaties," with the great
westeit nations.
Military Questions
WUI Be Debated
The debate on military ques
tions will be resumed tomorrow
in the committee on disarmament.
The Chinese proposal, together
with a substitute backed by Great
Britain. Belgium and other coun
tries which were victorious in the
World war, was referred to a sub
committee. Making an effort to dispose of
the heavy program of business
stiil before it, the assembly to
night in conjunction with the
council of the league, elected two
new judges for the permanent
court of international justice at
The Hague. Both racancies were
caused by deaths within the year.
Sir Cecil Hurst was chosen to
succeed the late Lord Finlay of
Great Britain and Henri From
ageort, legal adviser of the
French ministry ot foreign affairs,
war chosen to take the place of
his compatriot the late Dr. Andre
Weiss. ,
Both Judges Hare
World Reputation
Both of the new judges had a
hand in framing the treaty ot Ver.
sallies. Eaeh has an internation
al reputation as a Jurist.
The assembly also adopted com
mittee reports on the protection
ot-women and children, child wel
fare, and mandates.
The clash today between Brit
ish and French gouth on the
question of trained army reserres
as a factor in disarmament, was
foreseen last week when Lord
Robert Cecil of Great Britain an
nounced his purpose to introduce
a resolution suggesting that the
Brenaratorr disarmament com
mission consider the limiting of;
land forces, both as to personnel
and material.
Lord Cecil, in presenting his
resolution today, said that dis
armament waa the greatest Ques
tion facing seekers for world
neace. Ha said that the hoped for
naval agreement, while important.
would be useless if tne nations
could not agree also to limit their
land and air forces.
