The certificates issued by the .bond house are exactly the same as notes, with a proviao for definite thing to be performed by the bond house and which is expressly waived in the Tertiflcate. A ll invest ors who loose their money are also entitled to censure they were con tributing to the present stringency by assisting in depleting the money re serves of this particular section of our country by sending more than two million dollars out of the business life of Oregon. Another thing that helped the bond house to sell these certificates was that the holders of them could not be held for income tax payments as the returns are easily concealed. * One Hundred Yean Ago The system of paying bills by check was introduced, and was quickly ap preciated by discerning people. It reduces the personal danger of carrying funds; makes for conveni ence in disbursing large or small amounts; provides for a reliable, workable record of money deposited and money spent, and lends s certain dignity to the transference of funds.
