Now comes the an nouncement from the Portland banks that the unlucky individual whose bank balances dues not average $100, will be obliged to pay 25 cents a month just for the privilege of letting the bank have his money in deposit. The Portland banks, as well as all banks in the larger cities claim it costs more than 25 cents a month just to take care of such small accounts. And on top of this informa tion about charging 25 cents a mouth for taking care of a small checking ac count, comes the intimation that last year was a hard one for banks in the big cities and that many of them were obliged to pass the regulation semi-annual dividend.

And how about roekf REPLY OF ALLIES mm TODAY German Chancellor Is Said To Be Preparing An "Im portant Statement" By Ed L Keen. (I'uited Press staff corresMiiident.) London. Jan. 10. The allies' answer to President Wilson will be handed to Ambassador Sharp at Paris possibly to day. It will not be made public for sev eral days, an agreement for simultan eous publication in America and Kuropo having been made. Delay in seudin the reply has not been due to any difficulty between en tente nations as to the general princi ples to be enunciated in the document. Complete agreement on this general out line has been manifest from time to time of the first draft. But exchanges of views as to the phraseology with which these general aims were to be presented and desire to polish off the verbiage consumed some time. The note will thoroughly detail the allies war aims and purposes and for this reason it is desired to make the text absolutely perfect and capable of no mistakes or misconception. Preparing Note. Rome. Jan. 10. German Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollw eg is preparing a note, in which he will define the war aims of the Central Powers and outline peace conditions acceptable to them, dis patches from Lugano asserted today. Important Statement Coming. London, Jan- 10. An "important statement" will be made bv Tmpeiial i Chancellor Von Bethmann Hollweg about January 15, special dispatches as- Iserted today. The chancellor, it was asserted, will undertake to analyse the various peace moves which live already been made and may make another an nouncement. Arrangements for the reich. stag meeting, at which this statement is to be made, are being held in abey ance, it was said, until Germany learns the form of the allies' answer to Presi dent Wilson's peace suggestions. The Berlin dispatches asserted that the further peace move which was plan ned by the chancellor would be ad dressed specifically to the neutral pow ers which supported President Wilson 's note. In view o'f these Berlin reports, it was pointed out here today thai Germany has called a meeting of premiers of the central powers on January 15 and a conference of the presidents of parlia ments of all her allies on the day following. AMOUNTS TO LITTLEiPerftiL!pa?I Later On In Session More Clerks Will Have To Be . Put to Work That the senate is blowing itself up over nothing in its assertion that it is saving $1400. in expense of clerk hire for the committees on enrolled bills, was an assertion made this afternoon by an official familiar with the duties of the committee on enrolled bills. This official pointed out that the ten clerks asked for immediately by the senate will have nothing to do practically for the next three weeks on account of the fact that bills are not enrolled until passed by the house and senate. The senate argument for this resolu tion was to the effect that last session the committee employed seventen elrks i while this year only ten are to be em ployed, which in the end would result in a saving of $1400 to the stnte. It is pointed out that this saving is really I an expenditure because when the rush toward the end of the session is on practically the full number of seven teen clerks will have to be employed, 1 as the legislature cannot adjourn tin-! til all the bills are enrolled. The idea of saving money now by employing ten clerks to sit around and i do nothing for three weeks when two i or three could do the work until the latter part of the session when the pres-1 sure is great is declared to be absurd. i That the full quota of 17 will be neces-1 isary before the session closes is bellev; led certain. Adamson Law In In Hands of Court Washington, Jan. 10. The Adamson railroad law is in the hands of the j United States supreme court. The court: lis to decide whether this statute, pass icd under sensationnl circumstances last fall, to avert paralysis of the nation's, i commerce highways, is constitutional. Prank ('. Hagerman, special assist - i 'ant attorney general, concluded his ar-i gtunents to the country's highest tri-1 Initial at 1:48 p, in. and the court form-' j ally took the matter under considera . , ! tion.
