SLUMP IN

Salem Banks Weather
Depression " Period
With Decrease of
Only 8 Percent
Deposits in Salem's four banks
during the year . just completed
have fallen off only 8 per cent
trom the year of 1920; according
io statements made this moraine

1, difference of $677,659.67 or a
decrease of 7 per cent plus.
-i All banking heads affirm that
the decrease is prevalent through
out the country and that if com
parative figures could be obtained
from other communities, the drop
In Salem banking institutions' de
posits would be found compara
tively small;
The underlying cause of the de
crease, they agree, is due to the
fact that there is not as much
money" in circulation at present as
at the close of the preceding year,
this condition being brought about
by the general business stagnation
and the decrease in the price of
raw materials.

Demand For
Acceptance
Bills Slumps
Washington, Jan. 4. Lessened
demand generally for bills of ac
ceptance but a somewhat broader
activity was reported by the fed
eral reserve board today in a year
end survey of conditions in the ac
ceptance markets of the 12 reserve
districts.
The Influence on tax payments
coming simultaneously with the
new certificate issue and the year
end adjustments had a deterrent
on the investors, according to the
survey.
A considerable decline In the
country's foreign trado during
1921, in addition to the fall In
prices, resulted In a reduction in
the amount of bankers' bills in
the New York market, the survey
continued, adding, however, that
there was a steadily broadening
market,
-A general falling off in accept
ance transactions during Novem
ber was reported by Chicago, the
greater part of the bills drawn be
ing against meats, meat products,
tobacco and canned goods.
Bills originating on the Pacific
coast, the San Francisco bank de
clared, were appearing In larger
quantities, but the supply was etill
insufficient to meet the invest
ment demand and prime eastern
bills continue in good demand.
During the latter part of No
vember, the bank said, the "de
mand for acceptances was steady,
with a heavy call for bills which
would fall due before the end cf
the year. At the same time a
gradual broadening of the market
was noticeable, chiefly among
country banks, but to a larger ex
tent among corporations and Indi
viduals. Boy's Body Found

WORLD
BANK IS

Establishment of Fed
eral Reserve Branch
In Europe Advocated
by Owen
Washington. Jan. 4 Tho es
tablishment of a European federal
reserve Dank, providing a gold se
cured currency nd linked insn.
arably with the American reserve
system, from which it would draw
its resources and reserves, was ad
vocated today by Senator nn
democrat, Oklahoma, as a basic
move towards restoration of stable
economic conditions thronrhnnt
the world.
In an extensive trneooh in n.
senate, the Oklahoma senator sug
gested in connection with h
proposed reserve bank the follow
ing proposals for American aid in
world rehabilitation: .
Extend Debt Payments.
"1 That we should nmlnnna
the final payment of the wm-i.i wo.
debt In the United States by ex
tending the payment over fn
years; that we should not for ten
years collect any amount iimlpr
the sinking fund.
2 That in arraneine th n.
ment of Europe's debt to the Uni
ted States we should extend time
to Europe necessary to enable
them to readjust their affnl
regain their productive power, and
that we should not for ten years
demand of them the payment of
interest due but allow It to merge
with the principal.
"3 That we should nut the in.
terest rate at 3 Der cent on dir.
ope's debt to the United Slates."
Offers Amendment.
Mr. Owen at the same tim sub
mitted to the senate a bill tn'
amend the federal reserve act so
that establishment of the foreign
DanK would be possible. He pro
posed tbat the Euro
should be owned by the reserve
system of the United States and
that from the 12 banks hrB it
would draw a total of $500,000,-
uuu in gold as a reserve.
This, he claimed, would In nn
way Impair the reserves or r.
Bources of the American institu
tions, yet It would enable tho fnr-
elgn banks to issue $2,200,000,000
in note's, backed up by gold as well
.100 per cent commodity bills.
Would End Inflation.
'The one treat outHiuniimir f
tor breaking down confidence and .
destroying the validity and desira
bility of contracts in Eurone ' tho
senator declared, "is the violent
intiatlon of currency through the
Drintin? rtrofla In enma n..nt -t....
of Europe, people have been coai-
pmiea to aDandon the making ot
contracts in terms of currency and
have had to resort to tha rinmcv
system of barter so many bush
els oi potatoes for so many bushelg
of corn or coal.
"The outstandine fantnr tho
retards restoration of European in
dustry and commerce then is the
lack of gold secured currency.
Then the United States is able to
provide the means for supplying a
currency by gold, redeemable in
gold and secured at the same time
by merchantable commodities that
in themselves open and renew the
ways or trade."
