Space at i'u present time will
only perr . referring to the
record of r. two old parties on
the subject !' banks and banking.
There is no question so essential
to the pro -verity and commer
cial advancement of a people as
sound financial policies. Great
Britain, France, Germany and
most commercial countries of
Europe, have great central gov
ernment banks, such as the
"Bank of England," the "Im
perial Bank of Germany," the
"Bank of France." These in
stitutions, under proper legisla
tive restrictions, issue currency
.(not coin) for. the use of the peo
ple, and in aid of commerce.
Under the Act of Congress of
1791 drawn by Hamilton and
signed by Washington, "the
father of our country," the
""Bank of the United States" was
organized, but when the charter
was about to expire in 1811 a bill
to renew it was defeated. In
1816 another United States bank
was chartered and in 1832 a bill
to renew its charter passed both
houses of congress, but was
vetoed by President Jackson, i
Having killed what was designed
to be a bank on similar lines to
the Bank of -England and the
Bank of France, it would have
seemed regular for him to' rec
ommend some financial plan in
stead, but he recommended noth
ing whatever. It would seem
that the then Democratic con
gress should have framed and
passed a law establishing some
better financial plan for the
country, but it did not, and sub
sequently the history of the
country details the establishing
of state banks and then issuing
. paper and wildcat currency
which in a short time brought
on financial wreckage all over
the country. This was done un
der state laws, and in pursuance
of the democratic idea of state
rights and the greatest liberality
to the individual regardless of
the rights and welfare of the
public. The Republican party
believes that the plan of a cen
tral bank like the . old United
States Bank, Bank of England,
and Bank of France, is not the
Ibest plan, yet it was better than
no financial plan.
When the Republican party
came into power it evolved a
plan, instead of creating a cen
tral government bank as stated
and adopted by the governments
tof Europe, it authorized a large
pumberof national banks, placed
them under the supervision and
control of the United States
Treasury Department, and gave
ithem authority to issue redeem
able paper, currency under proper
safeguards and restrictions. The
result has been that in over
forty years, the currency issued
bv the national banks not a dol
lar has been lost to the people
and it circulates on a par with
gold in every part of the world.
The Republican party does not
-claim that the national bank
system is absolutely perfect, but
they do claim and all able finan-
opinion and judgment of the Re
publican or the Democratic par
ty on the great financial plans
which have, been' before th
country. , , - .. -- - ' -
Corvallis Expands.
Last Monday night the ques
tion of extension of the city hmi's
again c-une up" for" discussion at
the meeting of the city council.
When if was first proposed to ex
tend, several weeks ago, an
emphatic remonstrance was sign
ed by. almost every property hold
er who w if d be effected bv the
move", and at the meeting ol the
council last week, this petition
was presented to the city dads,
and created quite a stir. The
quet-tiou' was quite thoroughly
gone over and discussed, pro and
con, and at last was referred to a
committee who were instructed
to more thoroughly look into and
consider the proposed extension.
Lrist Monday night, the com
mittee reported; and the question
was again freely discussed, and
for a time it seemed as though
no action would be taken in time
for the proposition to go before
this legislature. But altera long
and heated argument, in which
a number of different motions
were made, some for dropping
the whole matter and others for
taking in every foot of the pro
posed additions, the matter was
at last put to a final vote, about
one o'clock in the morning,
which decided to annex the pro
posed northern and western sub
urbs, and leave the addition just
south of Marys river out. This
decision was highly pleasing to'
property holders in south Corval
lis, but rather disappointing to
the western and northern lest
dents, who did. not want the ad
ditional city taxes without a pro
portionate increase in benefits,
As the extension of the city
limits was - nothing but a cold
blooded business proposition, ac
cording to several councilmen's
views ot the matter,: it was '. their
desire to only take - in as much
additional property as could be
tixed without the city having
too much additional expense, in
protecting and lighting the new
territory. On account of there
being several bridges . . in the
southern suburbs that would fa 1
to the city to keep in repair, afcd
also because it would be such a
hard matter to give fire and police
Dtotection, without a great addi
tional expense, the council decid
ed to leave that costly part of
town out in the cold, which was
perfectly satisfactory to those res
idents. - The bill for enclosing the; pro
posed additions inside the city
limits will have to be passed by
the state legislature before the
additions can come under the city
tax and laws. It is thought the
bill will be passed during this
term of the legislature.

Appreciate the Flag.
The Corvallis , Fire Department
hereby desires to. express its ap
preciation of the interest shown
by its many friends in support
ing the Department in the flag
contest. The flag will : be given
a prominent position in the City
Hall, so draped as to be an orna
ment to the Firemen's Hall, and
will remain a testimonial of good
will of the citizens and serve as
a stimulus to future efficient ser
vice. Committee.
The above refers to the hand

which was offered by a club of
Corvallis merchants to the most
popular organization in this city,
a vote being given by the mer
chants with a certain amount

won the flag January i, by about i

A good story on some wood
choppers has just reached town
Out on the Rader place there is
a gang or men chopping wood
There is also a billy goat of wide
reputation in the neighborhood,
and like all billy goats he likes
fun and tomato cans above all
things else. Now this billy,
from some cause or other, seems
to have taken a great dislike to
these woodsmen, and seriously
objects to having his peace and
quiet disturbed by the sound of
axes, or else he thinks to secure
a good meal from the full dinner
pails of the workmen.
About noon every day Mr.
Billy makes a sudden appearance,
with the speed of a locomotive,
directly in the rear and within
close proximity of the south side
of one of the . stooping sawyer's
overalls. Usually, though, billy
is not quite quick enough, as
practice has made the men so
active that they are on top of the
woodpile or half way up a tree
in the twinkling of an eye, and
billy knocks the bark off the saw
log instead of the soft side of a
pair of denims. Then billy is in
his glory. He sits around and
grins, or chews up a few coats,
while the . workmen almost de
stroy their own fort bv throwing
all the wood at their enemy.
If any one dare venture from his
stronghold billy shows the whites
of his ey es and with a whiff or
two is all ready for business, and
from his looks is quite willing to
juggle a whole crew of wood
choppers on his horns, which
they say are at least six Teet long,
But after about a hour's fun, by
which the treed men have sought
out and sat upon the soft side of
every hrab on the tree, Mr,
Billy quietly and ' contentedly
trots off with an expression of
victory on his lace as though he
had conquered the whole Japan
ese army. .
