L. Steeves, who died here Monday, was admitted to probate In the eounty court here Saturday morn ing Under the terms of the In strument, an estate tentatively valued at $125,000 Is devised In trust te the widow, Sarah H. Steeves who throughout her life time has full use ot the Income from the property. Upon her death the body ot the estate con tinues as a trust for Dr. Laban A. Steeves and Mrs. Muriel Steeves Morse, share and share alike, the trust terminating un der the Oregon statute against a perpetuity in 20 years. The will, an extended docu ment drawn in January, 1930, advises the trustees to settle all outstanding debts of the estate in a manner to safeguard a satisfac tory' income for the widow and to keep the body of the estate in tact. If the two children become trustees before the debts, not enumerated, are settled, their monthly drawings on income, are to be limited to $200 until all obligations against the estate are liquidated. The maker of the will urges the trustees not to sell any busi ness property he owned but to dispose at once of all farm or residence property owned by the estate. A sizeable quantity of bonds are to be reinvested along with any surplus interest, as these funds come to the estate. Executrix of the will, to serve without bond, is the widow. Ap praisers named by the court are W. W. Moore, Dr. M. C. FIndley and A. W. Smitber. Dwight Lear Is attorney. Dr. Steeves In his will ex presses the wish that his son and daughter, when they become owners of the property, shall not reduce it but shall retain the body of the estate to pass on in tact to their heirs as he has to them The will provides that in the event that the children and all their lineal descendants shall be dead when the trust ceases, then and only then shall Willamette university, of whose board ot trustees Dr. Steeves was presi- uent lor nearly 20 years, shall receive one-half of the body of the estate. The remainder shall be divided among the children of Dr. Steeve's brother, Corey W. Steeves. Property owned by the late Dr. Steeves Included the Guardian building.

Dear Editor: Ton hare made, in an editor ial "Managed Currency what seems to me a very Illogical statement. You say that the pre sident's speech cannot be both a pronouncement for sound curren cy and a boost for iniiation. Cannot is a very arbitrary word. If it should turn out that we have not enough currency, then an inflated currency would be more sound than one that is insuf ficient. The effrontery ot the people who favor the gold standard in calling It a "sound currency" is amusing but is more than amus ing, It Is exasperating. ' When the democratic platform called for a "sound and adequate currency, students or econom lcs pricxea up tneirears. mosc or the gold standard adherents thought that it meant a reliance on the gold standard. Others Who were aware ol the deficiencies of any standard were sure that something else was meant. Prob ably there Is no such thing as an absolutely sound currency as surely as there is no such thing as perfection, but surely we can find a better standard than acci dent, that is, the accident of the amount of gold that is found. A man said to me the other, day, 'They can say what they like about the sold standard, but it has worked for centuries. He was quite surprised to find ' that It had been in force only since 1873. We had money panics be fore and we have had them since and It Is possible that shortage or excess of currency had' nothing to do with any of them. I note that most of the commissions which have investigated the sub ject put most of the blame on the banks for expanding credit when they should have contracted, and contracting credit when they should have expanded It. However, that may all be. still insist and I think you will agree that "cannot" was the wrong word. Respectfully yours, FRANK E. JUDD Mahler In, this city Saturday,-October 23, Frank J.

Using a turnover from the county treasurer of district taxes, the clerk's staff called Explains Speech at Business Men's League;" Meeting to Be Held oh Thursday : William Gahlsdorf, merchant whose remarks at the Salem Business Men's league meeting last Tuesday created somewhat of a furore and resulted In the calling of a public water meeting for next Thursday night, yester day denied that his speech- had any reference to illegal activities on the part of anyone. In the talk he is reported to have declared that certain available revelations in regard to the municipal water system movement here would startle the public. "The league." said Gahlsdorf Saturday, "had spent the evening in a peanut argument over the trivial question of whether the merchants were going to close two hours or four hours on Arm istlce day. I got tired of it. I told them here was a time when the league actually did things of benefit to the community,, and frankly stated that J was going to pull out of the league and chamber of commerce if they didn't show some signs of taking an interest in Important affairs. "I mentioned the question of insurance rates as something that should have the attention of the league, citing the fact that rates had increased from 10 -to 40 per cent because the city is without adequate water supply. Of course this led to the water question, ana i naa something to say about the city council dilly-dally ing- along and actually accom plishing nothing, notwithstand ing the government is ready to hand tcs a million and a half dol lars oi n snver piatter. 1 , men tioned ',tflfaard Rostein as having made this criticism of the conn cil, and this was what I referred to as 'startling revelations'. If used that expression. "Rostein Is a member of the city water board, as I am. and I criticized the council for never having had the courtesy to call the board to sit in with It In any discussions of the water question." Gahlsdorf referred sarcastically to the trip of E. C. Elliott, presi- aent or tne water company, to rew xora to confer with the Chase National bank relative to tne salem situation. "The Chase National bank. said Gahlsdorf, controls all the utilities in the country, and nat urally will do all it can to hlocV acquisition of the local plant by the city of Salem." Beulan King.

H. McBee of Dal las, prominent, in Farm Union work, said here yesterday after a conference, with , the executive committee of the state organiza tion. McBee said the pattern of other states would be sought where motorists could buy insur ance either in old board or in a state operated company. The ueetlng which was in ses sion six hours at the chamber of commerce, discussed at length the problem of rural schools and their Imperative need for money. McBee said his group would urge the legislature to do something to bolster up needy schools. He said many schools In Lincoln county would be unable to run after January because of lack of funds due to Insufficient tax collections.
