In these days of bank consouaauons such event is quite out of the ordinary ; and this one in Particular "a most unusual. For it is the first charter for establishing a mutrial savines bank In Oregon. Tne law periruitiiis uv. charters has been in existence many years; but no one at a A j a.- at. if Tha n aw charter eroes to Fort land interest ho have been It is hard to say why mutual savings banks have not flourished in the west. In the east they are quite common. In fact for the country as a whole mutual savings banks have far greater resources than stock company savings banks which does not include savings departments oi tomrcrw For the year ending June 30, 1930 reports showed 606 mu tuar savings banks in this country with total resources pf $10295,308,000. Stock company savings banks had total re- sources of 1,521,103,000. TJie auierence oeiween wu pany and mutual savings banks is that stock! companies sub scribe to the capital stock and share the profits to the stock holders after paying the guaranteed interest; to depositors. In mutual savings banks all the profits are shared by the de positors (as well as any losses j. m f Massachusetts and New York have the greatest number of mutual savings banks. The former reported in. 1930 196 such institutions in which 2,954,855 depositors had deposited $2,093,098,000 in savings. New York had 151 such banks with total deposits of $4,566,165,000. The average tate of Interest returned to depositors in Massachusetts was 4.74 and in New York 4.70; The state of Washington has one large mu tual savings bank, the Washington Mutual, in Seattle with a ' long and enviable record of growth-and stability. There are four of these banks in Washington with 93.736 depositors and a total of $55,060,000 deposited. Their rate of return was 4. California has one mutual savings bank but it has $77, 558,000 on deposit and its interest return in 1930 was 4.25 t Events of recent years have brought into relief the value of savings institutions operated conservatively, which give an opportunity for the masses of the people to accumu-; :ate their savings with assurance of safety. Savings banks, savings departments of commercial banks, savings and loan associations help supply this need. Mutual savings banks, un der the' strict laws governing their investment, are usually able to pay a little higher return than commercial bank sav-; ings departments; and as their sole business is the encour agement of thrift they can do a great deal to j stimulate sav- Tha mora fiDao InafifiiHftTis nrwratino under strict government supervision,: that off the state is. x our and a fraction per ceni is proving oei ter than high coupon -rate and loss of principal on foreign bonds and the miscellaneous lot of junk which has been ped dled in the form of investment in late years.; ' So the founding of the first mutual savings bank in the state is- of interest and its progress will be watched during Stalemate JlIIE war between Japan and China has shifted from Man A; churia to Geneva and is now a trial of strength between Japan and the league of nations. The league voted 13 to 1 to order Japan to bring home her guns; but Japan says the vote doesn't count because it wasn't uiianimous, Japan's delegate casting the negative vote, i . . H " As the situation appears the league can't do anything to . Japan, because no nation wants to do the police work for Gen eva; and Japan is too wise to go ahead and crirry on war" in Manchuria. So she just holds her positions there and marks time. : -,; ! ' -. ,--s . Japan has some justification in insisting on some guar anties for the safety of her nationals, China has been lawless so long that lives of foreigners are not safe or their property secure. China can't just lie down and trust to the league. She ought to pull herself together, stop civil war and preserve neace within her borders.

Any governor who spends as much time as Mr. Meier la re- moving men from office (by any mean3) and ushering into power his proteges xnust necessarily be busy.

He has fared sumptu ously at the expense 6f the people and consequently has no feeling for them. His actions have ; dem onstrated this beyond ! all doubt, if there ever was doubt. .We have not forgotten his rnthlessness and imperiousness la conducting, the hearing of the prison - ssperin- tendent. We were astounded at the fallacious "charges the gover nor brought agatn3t him, waich were proved utterly unfounded. We were shocked at his temerity in casting reflection on the char acter of T. B. Kay, a man who had served the publie for many years - and whose integrity I had never been Questioned. The only excuse that can be given for the sanctification of stupidity in ; con ducting and ordering other hear ings Is prejudice. i i : 1 The economy of the adminis tration has beea in harmony with all other actions. In spite of latent rigid economy, expenses were found to be considerably oyer, the budget provided. - The governor therefore proceeded 1 1 to slash 1500,000 oft education. A master stroke indeed. Then to prove his further sincerity to give us far ther economy he brought Mr. Eln zig la as secretary of the board of control and raised! his salary 664. To further prove that the change was needed, Mr. EInzig has followed the policies of : his predecessor. ; Some of , us , hare had quite enough of Meier, Holman and Co.. If the governor has as yet display ed any master strokes of genius he has been highly successful in. keeping, them hidden, i The pres ent administration hat been char acterized by petty spite and vin dlctiveness since the boar of Its inauguration. Unless he cuts short his acts of f acetlousness . and sham he Is apt to be sent back In ignominy to his department store.

If it were complete, would probably say that it was soon extinguish ed, and that the damage was un der $1000. That was somewhat early for a gasoline lighting sys tem, j and the dangers connecting with the handling of gasoline were not as well known as now. It Is rather strange, too, that the county was not then using coal gas, tor the city was first lighted by gas from the plant of the Sa lem Gas company Sept. 17, lt70; the ,. work of laying the mains having been begun In May of that year. - Perhaps the county commissioners thought the rates for coal gas were too high. v - The red brick Jail that stood on the northwest corner ot the court BEING KING i By EDSON j " o IP n&rw BREAKFAST bouse block, at High and Court streets, may have then "been torn down, and the cells for the county jail installed in the new (present) court house. bailding, construction f whleh began la 1871. So there may hare teen "prisoners there at the time of the fire, and In that case, the complete news article likely said something about how they acted. " i W V But perhaps'the change had not yet been made, for A. M. clough. pioneer undertaker, whoame tn 1S7S. remembers seeing the old jail, though it may not hare been in use two years later. Dr. Mark Skiff thinks the brick jail was tern down before January, 1878. h . i' . Mr. Clough does not remember the fir In the basement of the court house, so It could not hare been a great one. But he did not see the greatest fire In Salem up to that time, the night of May 2, 1871, though he was, sleeping within a block of it. 1 : V V " V.v -' The fire that he missed was the disastrous one that completely de stroyed the plant of the Willam ette Woolen . Manufacturing com pany, the first factory of the kind on this. coast. It was built in 1856 and later doubled In size; - became very prosperous, employed a large force, and furnished a market for a Considerable part of the valley wool." Its destruction was a severe blow to the townyOf that time. It stood- on the ' site- of the first building erected la what became Salem, the mission grist and saw mill, under one - room. The Lar mer warehouse now occupies that ground, .fronting on Broadway. S--h:- V "a But Mr. Clough has a good alibi. He had arrived with his people In Salem that day, from .their old home In Iowa, and they had come by the covered wagon route, and he was very, rery tired after the long, toilsome journey and he was younger than he is now; though this is not saying he Is not still youthful in his feelings. But he needed sleep, and his slumbers were not to be disturbed by such a thing as a fire, eren though' It might be the biggest one Salem had ever seen. Some of his people heard the commotion but ; he hear sslhlng. He remained in the comforting 'arms- of Morpheus through all the disturbance. He was sorry to miss the great show, but did not regret the wonderful rest that first night in the land where one with, good digestion and a clear conscience can sleep welL Mr. McCully attended that fire. He was a member of the Capital engine company. There was great rivalry in those days, when a paid firs department was a thing of the tar future, between that company and . the Tiger engine company.

No such luck tor him. With this new definite turn of events, that worrying business at Beggar's Court was too urgent for a tru ant day with Katharine.
