The Honda
A Koiornment bond la as safe aa a $20 bill. It I practically
the same thing. the government's promise to pay, only the bond
bears interest, the piece of paper currency doe not. Either Is
worth face value at any time and at any place, with the probabil
ity that the bond will be worth more than par. - -
Our supply of gold, the basis of our credit structure, la now
not only the greatest of any uatton on earth, but we bave mobilized
an amount of gold here which Is more than this or any other nation
ever held before. The federal reserve banks alone hold approxi
mately a billion and a haff dollars.
"The combined resources of our national banks, savings banks,
and trust companies now exceed the vast sum of $37,000,000,000,
more than twice as great as the resources of all our banks 11 years
ago, and approximately $12,000,000,000 more than their resources
In the early part of 191 2.-
The Interest Itale
The II rut Issue of-Liberty bonds bore jl ', interest. The sec
ond Liberty loan bears Cr Interest. The reason is stated clearly
In an address of Secretary McAdoo before the National Rankers'
convention ut Atlantic City:
"We can not soil bonds In billions on the basis of what they
may be worth to the very rich. They must be offered to all the
people alike at one price and should appeal to all alike and upon
nunl tortus. The result of selling a bond which bears a' low rate
of Interest and carries exemption from graduated and superincome
luxes will be this: The poor and the people of modest means will
buy them tor patriotic reasons but will be unable to hold them be
cause the return la too small. The tendency will be all the time
for these bonds to be purchased from them and accumulated by the
very rich without any adequate consideration motlirg from them
either to the I' lit ted States or to the original subscriber. In these
circumstances tho value of the tax exemption depends not upon
tho bonds themselves tint upon a wholly extraneous fact the ex
tent of the wealth of the holder. ,
"The principle Is now firmly grounded In our national policy
that graduate taxes shall he laid upon wealth In order that the
burden of taxation may be equitably distributed and made to bear
more heavily upon the rich than the poor."
The Cans
A French banker tell the story of a sweet-faced old woman
when the call came for the people to turn In their gold for tho
prosecution of the war. A few hundred francs In gold were the
savings of her life. She aent them to the government official to be
used In prosecuting the war. These few hundred francs represent
ed her only hop of comfort In extreme old age. She had grand
children at the front. When the official, upon receiving the money
gave her a government bond, She said: "I didn't know I was to
receive anything for It." , ,
The free peoples of the earth have built a dike across Bnlgium
and northern France with the bodies of their young men of mlll-
lary ago. It restrains the ungovorned lust for power, prestlse. and
territory of what the world has termed the "Royal hofye of Ho
henzollern." If that dike breaks, America' Is not safe. We are
fighting In the cause of humanity, to make the world safe tor
democracy, nnd also we are fighting for the right to live peacefully
In America, unterrllled by passions which shoifld only animate wild
beasts.
Our own 'hoys will soon be making the dike stronger. The
front waves of Prussian ' militarism grow less threatening. The
French have held. the British are attacking," we must help.

baaed on telegraphic reports from
every community In the stale, and
with official formal bank announce
ments that the total la $14,601.(50,
there is now no question but that
Oregon will raise her minimum
quota or $18,000,000 by Saturday
night, the only doubt remaining Is
bow near Its maximum quota of
$30,000,000 Oregon will go. An ef
fort is now being made all over tba
state to force Oregon upward on the
ladder.
All over the state a spirit of In
spiring determination seems to have
taken hold. The pace set by Pendle
ton Is now the admiration of other
cities. With many towns "unheard
rrom at all, the situation presents
many problems, but the committee
Is hopeful. , . ,. i.
The lKOe lumbering- 'town 'of-:
Bridal Veil doubling Its minimum
quota makes It the Drat city In the
state to reach the maximum quota.'
Details of some of the results can,
only V guessed at following an
nouncements like the following:.
Mosler Jumps In one day from .15
per cent to 81 per cent; Marsh field
from being the lowest city of Its size
In the state leaped to 34 per cent;'
North Powder from being one per
cent smashed It way to 45 per cent
in one day; Grass Valley doubled It
subscription in one day, going from
45 to 90 per cent; Condon tripled In
one day from 22 to 62 pec cent;
Heppner has not been heard from;
Shanlko Is up to 95 per cent; Vale is
the slowest city in eastern Oregon
to report, having only seven per
cent.
Twenty-three cities have now
reached or exceeded their quotas on
the minimum basis. These cities
are: Bridal Veil. West Fall, Echo,
Carlton. Mauptn, Helix, Lakevtew,
lone. North Bend, Seaside, Port Or
rord, Paisley, Lafayette, Pendleton.
Jacksonville, Sandy, Amity, Moro,

The following cities either at
tained their quotas this morning or
raised the quotas previously attain
ed over the one hundred per cent
mark:' Duftir. Enterprise, Helix,
Lafayette, North Bend, Pendleton,

"Cities must remember that even
though the minimum quota Is raised
we must aim at the maximum," de
clared C. A. Miller, campaign man
ager.
Washington, Oct. 25. Indications
are that Liberty day sales of bonds
carried the total to approximately
$3,500,000,000. It is felt, here that,
the campaign . for the total of IS,
