An article appeared In onu of
our local papera of February 23rd,
reporting on the meeting of liank
Ih-poaitora of February 20th. The
report on the eaaential facta of the
caae waa
on the
whole
fairly
correct—but the commrnta accom
pany Inn the report the writer wiah-
ea had be'*n withheld until aome
future date. 'The comment waa in
regard to the waiver on deposits
which depoaitora may be anked to
•i|rn at aome future date if prea-
«•nt plana carry through. Thia ia a
<|Uotation from the article verbatim
“ An outline of thia waiver haa
been received from
the
Hanking
Department for their conaideration,
but the re<|uirrnienta are ao com—
plicated that reorganization on auen
a waiver would be practically im
possible.”
The comment and the facta in
the caae were diacuaaed in auch a
way that it waa difficult to aelect
from
the
article
what
might
be the part of th<* report coming
from the committee and what might
be commenta of the editor. 'Thia
condition haa l>ecn eliminated for
future meetinga by action taken by
the committee on Tueaday, Feb
ruary 27th. At that time they vo
ted unanimoualy to give out to each
puper in the community identical
reporta of each meeting. Thia will
not only keep the depoaitora pro-
|»erly informed but it will then be
poaaible to differentiate committee
re|Mirt from editorial comment.
The writer haa aaid
that he
wiahed the report on the waiver
had not been made in thia way
juat at thia time and theae are
the reaaona:
lat. It would aeent reaaonahle to
expect that Mr. Schramm of the
State Hanking, Department would
not present to thia community a
waiver differing in eaaential rea-
peeta from that presented to other
communities. Also it does not seem
reasonable
to believe
that
Mr.
Schramm would present to us a
waiver which would not work be
cause of being impractical. In all
of hia meetinga
with
depositors
here in Beaverton and with com
mittees of depoaitora in Salem at
hia office, he haa seemed to he a
very honest, intelligent and prac
tical
gentleman. To
present
a
statement that this waiver is Vhat
the local paper reports it to be
would be an impeachment of all
these qualities juat mentioned.
Thia report in the local paper
it would seem was juat a little
premature, because
there
was a
letter accompanying the suggested
waiver which stated expressly that
the committee had the authority to
change or simplify the waiver in
any way they thought l>ent to meet
the peculiarities, if any,
of our
own local condition. There is un
attorney on the depositors commit
tee, and with hia help to date some
rather important changes have been
made. Then wo might argue thus
the article of February 2.'ird made
statements about the waiver before
a single depositor outside the com
mittee hnd seen it and before the
committee itself had studied it thor
oughly, because
at present
date
(February 27, 19114) the committee
has n«t fully
decided upon all
changes. Therefore if it were as
complicated as stated before, after
the committee
has
simplified it,
it will be an entirely
different
waiver. The committee hope to have
it mnde clear and simple so that
at n future meeting of all deposi
tors it m«y be discussed under
standing^. Therefore, is it not fair
to call statements of this type pre
mature.
The writer has no particular de
sire to criticise nnyone, but he does
wish to have the committee do its
work unhampered by staten, ents
that may jeopardise the very thing
the committee is trying to accom
plish. The community o f deposi
tors have given certain men the
authority to go ahead and try to
work out some plan whereby the
most may he realised from
the
hank’s assets. That committee is
now working upon a plan suggest

things have happened.

POISON
ATTEMPT
William Pointer of Tigard con
fessed Wednesday that he had placed
poison in flour and coffee in the
home of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Ceigpr,
his neighbors at Durham, while they
were attending church services Fri
day night. Pointer
entered their
home with a skeleton key.
•The food made the Geigers ill.
The wife, after tasting several ar
ticles, including dumplings and cook
ies, became alarmed at the bitter
flavor and refused to eat.
Pointer was arrested last Satur
day after suspicion had been direct
ed toward him. He confessed in
the Washington
county
jail
at
Hillsboro.
Several months sigo Pointer was
arrested or a charge of stealing
farm implements from the Geigers.
Resentment for the arrest is be
lieved to have prompted his poison
ing attempt.
