from the Sinn Keln In Ireland that.
In the event of his death a general

An appeal was taken directly to the

During his imprisonment tne lord

to abandon his strike. He replied to
the latter that If he gave up his

The greatest danger In the pro
posed bill to limit the rale ot inter

cent la that the unsuspecting voter
nay believe the measure will accom

in favor of It, stated a local business
man who is assisting In the fight
ugainst the measure.
If the voters understand tnat
passage of the bill would mean no
money at all, Instead of five per cent
money, there would be no danger lo
this bill, he aald. Urging everyone
to become famllalr with Just exactly
what would happen if the bill should
pass, he summarised briefly a few
of the disastrous consequences ot
such a happening.
Among these were: Abandonment
of the federal farm loan as tar as
Oregon is concerned; withdrawal ot
nil mortgages as fast as they became
due unless puld; Inability of banks
tu extend notes; failure of Home
building associations to continue
operating: Inability of the state to
secure sale of bonds for all Improve
ment purposes; prohibition of all
loans for Industrial purposes, and de
nurture of all local capltul to outside
Investments.
As is generally understood, the
foremost need of the slate for pro
gress and prosperity Is capital and
workable funds, and It can be read
ily seen that should the Interest that
can be earned on loanable frmda be
set by law In this state at live per
cent, persons having these funds to
loan would transfer their loanable
funds to adjoining states where high
er rates prevailing may be obtained.
Pari lea having mortgages due would

there would be wholesome fore-.
closures. Business would stagnate

Who Is going to loan money in

can loan it In Washington or nny
other state for eight per cent .
Would you sell fruit or anything else
