Entrance: The Branch Bank
1I7ITH the enactment of the Glass-Steagall bill by con
T f gress, branch banking has come to Oregon. The 1933
legislature paved the way when it allowed branching bank
ing contingent upon federal permissive legislation.
Already the major Portland banks have turned their
affiliates into branches and Pendleton, The Dalles and other
Oregon communities without banks are making overtures
to the Portland institutions to set up shop in these needy
towns. .
The changeover from group to branch banking is not
difficult. The president becomes a manager with similar
functions. The capital is merged with that of the parent
bank. A depositor and a debtor are owed or owe the entire
bank system rather than a link in a chain, the difference
being of little practical moment for in the late, unpleasant
years a parent bank had to support the liabilities of its
child else the entire system crumpled.
A principal reason the Portland banks are being im
portuned to establish branches is that these need not re
qnire extra capital. To that extent growth is made easy
for the larger institutions- which have weathered the storm
for reestablishment of locally owned banks is now extreme
ly difficult. Proportionately less capital is placed behind the
depositor's account than if a new, independently capitalized
institution were organized in the town served.
In time will come local demand for a home-owned bank
and some of these will be formed for we surmise that com
munities will think rightly or wrongly, that they are being
made the tail to Portland's kite. The entire banking situa
tion is in flux. One reads that the new banks are to be
strictly commercial with only self-liquidating paper accepted
for loans. Yet every banker knows that there is not enough
of this paper available to make banking profitable. If the
rest of the funds are to be invested in bonds who can assure
the banker be he branch or independent operator that
1929-1932 will not recur? Bond depreciation fully as much
as freezing of local loans brought the downfall of the coun
try banker. The remaining outlet for investment is govern
ment securities with bankers as a class opposed to further
interference of government in business and opposed to in
creased public indebtedness.
Branch banking is here and will stay, an inevitable de
velopment of the group system of banking. It is no cureall
for banking ills as the number and size of group banks
which have failed clearly indicates. Presumably banking
will parallel mercantile developments ; the independent and
the chain will both continue, and grow and thrive. Each
will learn from and suffer by the experience of the other.
"They Saved the Union
THE fife and drummers are in town today, a handful of
men from yesteryear. They were a proud group which
played on the street corners as the encampment began.
Some of their grandchildren's children wondered a bit about
the meaning of all this and why old men wore blue coats
and shiny buttons.
Thank heaven there are some persons how soon so
many forget who do know why these men are assembled,
why the flags are out, why hats come off, why there's a
tug in the throat and. moisture in the eyes as this remnant
of '61 goes by. These observant souls are of the company
"who will never forget what they did here."
For it is the high, untarnished honor of the Grand
Army of the Republic to have shared in the preservation of
the union. It is a larger, stronger union than the one Ed
ward Everett Hale so touchingly portrayed in his "Man
Without a Country," a more glorious republic than Web
ster envisioned in his stirring reply to Hayne. It is vaster
federation of commonwealths than moved Abraham Lin
coln to stand firm in the doctrine that the United States
of America was an indispensible federation from which no
ingle state could succeed, no section become independent,
except by force.
The freedom of the slaves, as historians have said
again and again, was incidental ; a motivating cause for the
war but not the prime cause just as emancipation was a
wartime emergency, not an immediate objective of the con
flict. Who can travel the length and breadth of America to-
uajr milium, pnue aim maurvsgi vinjj mai mere were sturdy
souls in '61, willing to die that a greater nation might be
reborn? We fancy the south is quietly pleased today that
the union survived.
in me classic ureeK memorial erected in Washington,
there is chiseled in the Vermont crranite! "Tn this tomnio

Merrily We Trudge Along
THE majority of voters in the 98 districts without high
schools in the county have decided the taxpayers for
next year are not to furnish bus transportation for boys
and girls who want to attend high school. Tuition payment
wilt remain mandatory; if the student utilizes it he must
walk, ride his pony or use dad's car. It may be the bicycle
revival will have a hand in keeping some ambitious youths
in school.
Insofar as rural education through transportation was
paid for by the non-high school districts, the problem was
theirs and the rule of the majority is to operate. If it de
velops that any sizeable number of rural students are stay

tuition at the nearest school, we predict the transportation

food easily spoils and becomes con.
laminated with germs. One of the
bad food infections is caused by the
"clostridiuiB to
tal I n u m." the
name of a dan
reroua germ. It
causes a disease
called "botul
Ism". X am glad
to say that this
disease Is not aa
trequenUy en
countered as It
was la former
times.
Botulism was
especially com.
man when little
was known about
proper refrigera
tion, the sterili
zation of food and Its proper canning-,
as watt as the preservation of meats,
vegetables and other food products.
It Is more freqnenUy found In home
canning, than in the commercial
preparations. Serious outbreaks of
botulism hare been traced to imper
fect home canning of ripe olives,
string beans, asparagus, corn and
-apricots.
This disease never occurs when
food la fresh, clean and served im
mediately after cooking-. Many per.
sons are misled by the belief that
boning destroys all germs and dan
gerous spores. This is -only partly
true. Food, too, hat has been boiled
but allowed to remain exposed. Is
easily re -contaminated.
Keep Food Iced aael Covered
Such infection can be prevented by
always keeping clean, fresh food on
tee and properly covered. Bear In
mind that during- warm weather such
roods as milk, vegetables, and meats,
readily and quickly spoil if allowed
to remain exposed to the air.
I advise all housewives to avoid
purchasing meat from the butcher
who allows his meat to remain on
his block Instead of hanging it on a
hook in a cold chamber. Do not pur
chase any foodstuffs that are not
properly protected from files, dust
and germs.
Modern methods of canning assure
the housewife of a safe and staple
food during the summer and winter
months. The canned product Is scien
tifically prepared and free from con
taminated germs and bacteria.
There Is one danger that I would
like to warn against. When yoa
open a sealed can, serve the contents
immediately. . If you do not Intend
using- the entire quantity, empty the
balance Into a glass or china dish
and place it on the Ice. This will
protect against spoiling- and con
tamination. Many cases of food poi
soning are caused by overlooking this
simple precaution.
Many housewives prefer home
canned products. This Is safe, of
course, if adequate measures are
taken for proper canning. Only use
fresh and clean foods. The Jars and
containers must be carefulry sterU
ixed before usms;. They must be
boiled at a temperature high enough
to destroy all germs, and sealed air
tight to prevent spoiling-.
All this advice Is not needed by
the experienced home keeper. She
knows exactly how to proceed and
the products of her kitchen are safe
and delicious.

"The rest is soon told. Although
the Indian treaties above des
cribed were not confirmed by the
United States senate until four
years later, settlers began going

-gold had been discovered on the
Pend d'Oreille river and parties of
miners began to travel through
the Indian country. These settlers
and miners were not always con

compelled to retreat, after a loss
of five killed and 17 wounded.
