THE BANNER-COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, W
AMORTIZATION PLAN
FOR PAYING
DEBTS
By Canby Correspondent)
In a recent conversation with Arthur
Graham, cashier of the Canby State
Bank, and secretary-treasurer of the
federal loan system, I learned that un
der the amortization plan, the far
mesr of Clackamas County had to date,
received in the way of loans, approxi
mately 400,000,
This plan has an advantage over the
old system of borrowing, in that the
Interest, in the course of 34 1-2 years
at 6 1-2 per cent consumes both- prin
cipal and interest. . In other words, the
interest consumes the (principal and
at the end of 34 1-2 years the debt is
cancelled.
It may be said that the borrower
l.eed not return the money loaned him,
if he pays the 6Vfe per cent for a
stated period. Under the old plan of
borrowing money the farmer has paid
an average of 8.9 per cent. $1000 at
this rate, for 34 1-2 years gives a total
of 3070.50 paid as interest, and the
borrower would still owe the principle
of $1000; which added to the amount
-paid as interest makes a total of $4,
070.50,' which the farmer must hand
over to the loan shark for the use of
$1000 in meeting his needs upon the
farm. ' And yet we wonder why so
many boys are leaving the farms.
In the course of a conversation a
bond salesman said that the Morrison
street bridge in Portland was built on
the bonding system, and that the city
of Portland had borrowed $750,000 with
which to build this bridge, and have
paid back to the bond holders the sum
of $750,000 in interest, and still owe
the $750,000 princilal. City folks as
well as farmers, act the fool, and pass
to their children the heritage of their
folly.
By the new method, or the amortiza
tion plan, the borrower of $1000 to be
used in building, clearing, seeding, pay
ing off debts, buying implements etc,
has a saving to his credit of $1,828.08
on a $1000 deal.

LAND-CLEARING METH-
ODS DEMONSTRATION
ON LARGE SCALE
Big stumps must oe more economi
cally removed. It is even more im
portant that the roots of such stumps
be eliminated from the cultivated depth
of farm lands. Land clearing methods
are progressing too slowly under the
high cost of present better known
methods. -
The Zysset Method, of clearing big-
stump lands has, been investigated for
six years by the Oregon. Agricultural
College, with time and cost studies
made thereon. It was found that this
method is "successful in quickly firing
the stump with a fire that will, when
properly managed, satisfactorily con
sume the stump and roots. Any suc
cessful method must remove the roots
from below plow depth. The Zysset
device -is simple and durable.
To show these burners in operation.
in real stump land in Clackamas Coun
ty there will be two big demonstra
tions. On January 6th., there will be
a complete exhibit of land clearing at
the S. A. Cordill farm one mile west of
MollallaT The program will begin at
11 a .m. in Molalla with an indoor
show of lantern slides covering all
phases of the burner and its operation.
The entire program to be handled by
Geo. W. Kable, land-clearing specialist
of the O. A. C. Extension Service. This
part of the program should not be
missed. At noon there will be a hot
lunch, after which the actual clearing
in the stump patch will be shown. Five
batteries of burners will begin opera
tions a week before the demonstration
so those attending will have an oppor
tunity to see all phases of the Zysset
Method. Arrangements are being made
to show the use of pullers and blasting
powders.
On Januaryl3th, there will be a sim
ilar demonstration in the vicinity of
Boring, the exact location to be an
nounced soon.

nection interested parties may' addess"

At their annual meeting in Portland
last week, the county clerks of Oregon
went on record favoring many drastic
changes in existing election laws.
They are opposed to the counting
of votes while the day board is in
session many ot them expressing tne
belief that secrecy of tle ballot is no
longer possible under the present "plan.
A resolution was passed recommending
that the counting board begin its work
at 8:00 o'clock in the evening, instead
of at 10 : 00 o'clock in the forenoon.
This matter was left in the hands of
the legislative committee to present.
That there shall be no change of reg
istration after the last day of the regis
tration period was the -unanimous ex
pression of the meeting.
That election boards may be selected
from the entire county instead of from
within the individual precincts, was an
other recommendation. The reason
for this change is the difficulty en
countered in obtaining suitable election
officials in all the precincts.
One resolution adopted would re
quire six freeholders to "swear in"
voters; and another would provide for
opening registration books as early as
July, instead of waiting until in Sep
tember. The suggestion that the present plan
of licensing dogs be done away with
and that these animals be taxed as
personal property met with the unani
mous approval of the clerks present.
