EASTERN HOUSE HIT!
Circular of Warning From
Commission Points Out
Losses Involved in
"Saving" Scheme.
rAunrlatttl Prm Leavl Wire)
SALEM, Grp., Dec. 22. To head
off n movement by an eastern bond
hou.se thiit is said to be trying to
induce Oregon municipalities to
call for payment of their liaucrnft
bonds and Initio In their stead re
fmitllng bonds bearing a lower in
terest rate, the Htate bond commis
sion yesterday sent a letter to city
treasure in Oregon warning
them againat taking this step.
The bond commission, which h
Governor l'alterson, state Treasur
er Kay and Hum Lounhlin of the
stale industrial accident commis
sion, holds that were the cities to
yield to the iiiiinrtiinith'H of the
eastern concern they would be tail
In an unfair advantage of the buy
er of Oregon municipal bond.
The movement carne to the no
tice of Ktnte Treasurer Kay after
the eastern agent made an appear
ance at La (liande, which haw Is
sued large amounts in Haneroft
bonds.
Where Lost Threatens
'The. state nond commission,"
says the letter sent out todny, "U
Vitally interested in Peeing that
the refunding of llancrort bonds
and the premature calling of such
bonds for payment be shipped inso
far as It is possible to do so.
"The state or Oregon owns In
excess of one million dollars of
these bond:, and, tf they are
called ahead of estimated dates,
the Htate will be compelled to de
mand Mint the vendors of the
bonds refund to the state the un
expired premiums.
"Also, should the tirnnosed nlan
be put Into effect, the state bond;
commission will withdraw from!
the market Insofar as Ilancroftj

mission cannot afford to Invest

loss." ;
Injustice to Buyer
Setting forth Its reasons for dfs-l
approving of the scheme the com-
mission declare that "refunding ,
of the bonds before maturity Is an ,
Injustice to the person or fhm that 1
purchased the bonds, and also Is
nu Injustice to the ultimate pur
chaser, for the reason that calling
of the bonds In advance of estimat
ed maturiiy dales will result In a
loss of uuamortUcd premiums
either to Ibe holder of the bonds i
or to the seller, who will be asked
lo compensate the holder for the
loss."
Premature refunding, says Hie I
letter, constitutes a breach of i
faith with the bidder who has paid
a premium upon the estimated life
of the issue.
"The practice of calling such
bonds merely to save ln:erest Is
unconscionable in that the cities
obtain substantial premiums when
the bonds are sold, hut do not re
pay the premiums when the bnnds
are refunded at
rntes," the letter
