Tlio bal lot tltlo is misleading In that tlio legal Interest rates nro already fix ed by statuto. Tho monsuro now under consideration reduces tlio max imum contract Itcrcsot rnto to G and tho legal rnto to 4ft which nil Intelligent pooplo will ngrco Is en- tlcrly too low nt tho present tlmo. As nn nftcrmnth of tho trouhlcous times wlijch tho world tins been go ing through monoy Is In great de mnnd to rclmbllltato our factories on n ponco ImbIb, to rcpnlr our rail roads and their cqulpmont ns well ns mnko oxtonslons to dovop now ills trlcts to enro for our population In creasing nt tho rnto of ono million pcoplo each year and to build now homos nnd repair old houses for our Increasing city population. All this has to bo dono largely on credit nnd It is n domnnd for monoy thnt will extend over n porlod of years. If this moasuro Is mndo Into n law what nro your prospects to flnnnco your needs? How many londors will Al low tholr monoy to romnin In your hands nt G Interest when thoy enn got a much largor rnto olsowhoro? Tho only result will bo tho loss of your farm, tho loss of your homo or tho loss of your business. It you do not owo monoy you nro doubtless n lender. Will you lend monoy nt 5 whon you am got a much larger return by loaning In nuyono of your nolghbor stntos? Wo hnvo all worked hard to dovel- op Oregon, a stnto of Immense pos sibility thnt hnvo hardly boon scratched ns yet, nnd It rcau Iron mil IIoiih each year to further that do olopinont. Thotiu millions hnvo to coino not only from our own cltlzons but from outsldo ns well. Wo do not want to stop now nnd mnko n wnsto of what wo hnvo dono. It this moasuro Is passed what capital Is controlled In tho stnto will scok moro ronumorntlvo fields and wo will bo shut off from tho monoy mnrkots of tlio world. Help furthor our dovolopmont VOTI3 NO. NO HXTANOMN'O AM.IANCRS Tho tlmo lms not yet como, nnd wo trust novor will como, whon Am ericans will forgot tho advices of Wnshtngtdn nnd Jefferson, of Mon roo nnd of Clovolund and forsnko tho traditional policies of our govern ment. Americans, nt least tlioso of ono or moro generations removed from Europo do not nnd cannot undorstnud tho rcmoto onuses of European dls conttons, nnd therefore wo nro not compotcnt to tnko a hand lit their settlements. Wo bold too thnt Europeans nro not conversant with Amorlcnn nf falrs, nor nro they In sympathy with mnny of our most chorlshed Institu tions. And thnt being truo wo do not want them to Intorfor with our ntfalrs. This Indocd thoy will do, If tho United Stntcs ontcrs to league of nn tions ns nt prcsont constituted. If tlio proponents of tho lenguo of na tions nro'slnccro In tholr statement that tho American Congress will bo tho final Judgo when our armies nnd navy will bo cnlled upon to tnko pnrt In n foreign war, why were they not willing that that very slmplo nnd plain rcsorvatlon to tho lenguo coven ant should bo ndoptcd? Thnt Is tho question? Until they nro willing to ndmlt thnt tho consti tution of tho United States shnll ro mnin tho supremo guhfo for Amorl cnn conduct in foreign nffnlrs we wnnt nothing whntovcr to do with tho so cnlled lenguo of nations. To mnko thnt position porfectly clear n president and n scnato com mitted to thnt doflnlto policy Is tho ono hopo of tho Amorlcnn pcoplo. Tho Issuo is clearly draw and thoro should bo no wabbling on thnt ques tion. Tho bnttlo must lit fought all along tlio lino from tho Whlto House to tho Sonnto chamber. Oregon's duty so far as republicans nro concerned Is to return n Republican senator; whllo if tho democratic contention In to prevail, nnd It Is tho wish of tho pooplo of Oregon to ontor tbn lenguo nnd follow tho ndvlso of Oovornor Cox, thon n domocrntlc senator should bo tho choice This quostlnn Is to Important thnt It transcends porsonnlltlcs, It Is n fundamental decision of American policy. Wo therefore urge our read ers to mnko plain tholr decision nnd either voto a republican president nnd n republican senator or n demo cratic prosldont nnd n domocrntlc senator. No other voto can, In this campaign bo deemed n logical ono. THE ONTARIO AMU'S. ONTAKHJ. OKlWON. TIH'HHDA V. OCTOBER 21, 11)20 I urn lie necessary thnl n pub .. I 1.1 ll If....

Has li becomo a crime In Oregon lo scok tho development of Its re sources" Has Oregon decided to put up the bars on reclamation? Is Oregon going to say to the werld: "Wo want migratory birds not n permanent population of pros porous pcoplo?" This In effect In whnt tho peoph of tho stnto will bo doing If they ap prove of tho monsuro 011 tho ballot which codex to the federal govem met tho laud embraced with thr meander lines of tho tulo swamp In Harney county which is doslgnntui on tho mnps ns Malheur lake. . Tho pooplo should not bo deceived Tho compromises mndo nt u moctlme In Portland Is n delusion. The In- torosls of tho pooplo ot Harney coun ty whllo ostensibly protected, nro In fact nn much In Jeojnrdy ns they wore with tho original Flnley bill. Tho pooplo of Oregon should go slow In coding Innd to tho fodornl government. What happened In the Klnmnth luko controversy when the Htnto gavo tho federal officials Juris diction over tho waters ot Klnmth lako? Ah Senator Chnmborlaln said In tolling of this deal: "tho wo tliot wo had tho rights of tho pcoplo of Oro gon protected, wo found thnt wltl. tho rulings ot tho fadlsts In Wash ington tho stnto wiih holplnHff, nnd tho rights wo thot protected hnvo boon Ignorod."

Tho rod tnpo and buroaucrntfc prnctlcos of tho fodoral official nro too woll known to tnko chancos with, Tho only snfo course for tho pooplo of Orogon Is to voto NO on tho bird rosorvo bill and bo nssurod thnt Har eoy county will bo permitted to pro ceod with Its dovolopmont program.
