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.
