T1IK AITOMOIHLK I FINANCE. Orcgonfan: Kxtenslve buying of Automobiles by people who are oblig ed to strain their credit In order to satisfy their craving for something that their neighbor may have and can afford to huve is undoubtedly becoming a very prominent factor In the financial situation, A St. Louis Arm, which annually handles more than $2G,000,oho worth of commercial paper In various Western state, recently sent out a letter ask ing for Information as to the demand for money In particular localities, as compared with last year, the pros pect for easy money, etc. They ulso asked regarding the purchase of au tomobiles, whether with cash or with burrowed funds. Some of the ans wers of these letters revealed startl ing results. A Greenville, Texas, banker wrote that the payments for automobiles there reached a total of $225,000, or seven per cent of the bank deposits The local banker who answered the questions for Wichita Kan., said there were 900 automobiles in Wich ita, and he believed the craze would ruin the country. At Cape -Girardeau, Mo., only half of -the auto mobiles were owned by people who were able to pay for them. A hank er from Little Hock writes that many peop!e have bought automobiles there, and In explaining the size or the, movement, he continues: "Some have mortgaged their property to buy them and others havo bought them on Installments. More than one-half the automobiles owned here were bought on borrowed funds or on credit." There does not seem to be much difference In human nature whether In the Middle West or the Pacific Northwest. Nearly every dally paper contains from one to a half dozen advertisements offering to trade a home or equity In a home for an au tomobile. The economic waste does not cease when n trade oT this kind Is ended, for the automobile at Its best, Is an cxpcimlvf luxury and millions more must he spent nu nually for keeping n repair the thousands of hlgh-prlred machines that have supplanted the compara tively Inexpeidve horse and buggy. Just where this orgy of evtrava cance will end Is uncertain. Tiy ty ing nn vast, sums of money In auto mobile contracts that, are of course unproductive, teve an not escape Kome strhigencv hi money matters. Fortunately Portland Is such a wen It hy city that t h ere Is n very nmall per centage of the nuto owners here who are unable to afford the machines, which ore becoming so plentiful that'thev are nffectlng to a degree the fiuanclnl situation.
